Literally the shape of a peach. God damn
PTA is the dictionary definition of entry level cinema. He not only steals from better directors, but he does it without any irony like Tarantino.
I am personally fine with it though. Because through PTA, all these freshmen college students will discover Robert Altman, who was the real deal. They will discover Scorsese, the most important American film director of our time, they will discover Kubrick, and the Coen Bros.
Through Altman, they will discover Renoir, through Kubrick, they will discover Ophuls, Scorsese to Fellini. Suddenly they realize PTA was just a child with no original thoughts in his head, that his films just revolve around quoting better directors while adding epic catch phrases like "I drink your milkshake!" and "Pig fuck!" Really there is no bigger clue in to how meaningless his cinema is when the only thing people discuss when mentioning his movies are 'le epic catch phrases, dude!'
You might say great artist steal, but what Picasso meant by this is that great artists are able to understand what works and manipulate it. PTA merely 'mimics'. This is why it is completely obvious who he is mimicking from film to film.

And that song, "Les Fleurs" in Inherent Vice was by Minnie Ripperton, her mother who died when she was like 7 or something. Maya was in the movie too, she played Doc's receptionist.

I am very suspicious about how much Mihai Malaimare Jr. actually worked on The Master, especially considering how weak his filmography before and after the Master was. PTA most likely did the bulk of the the cinematography of the Master himself.

>Coen Bros
Coen Brothers do the same thing as PTA. Why do you plebs always mistake your affections for objective standards?
