It amazes me how incredible the finished product looks based on this. Everything looks so raw and unrefined behind the scenes/in real life. Movie magic!
I love that Paul Thomas Anderson uses old Kodak film stock. Man does the color pop in this movie!! Digital just can’t replace that richness in color film gives.
I agree. These artists do incredible work. It's amazing how much detail goes into making a film. From the director, actors, and to ALL of the staff you deserve every $ that you make. This is very hard work. CONGRATS!
Add that difficulty to them doing this when the pandemic 😷 rules were so strict on set. I’m sure it was a nightmare and ultimate bliss in the end making this film. Only a couple of directors could do this (with the two leading parts going to first time actors). It really is amazing how he/they pulled this off.
Just looked it up and this movie lost like 7-10 million dollars. Thats really sad, people dont appreciate the good stuff like they should, until its too late.
Best American life period movie since American Graffiti. Except the acting is better with these two unkowwn stars. I cant stop watching it over and over again. Cant even explain that.
Hello! Does anyone know the name of the first song? I saw that others are curious too in the comments. I know this song appears in the scene where Alana dances at night at Bernie's Waterbed and sees Gary and that other girl...(if you know you know, i dont wanna spoil it). I love this piece but can't seem to find it on the Soundtrack, if anyone knows please tell me! Thanks! Love this movie❤❤❤
I find it rather infuriating how illogical it is; as well as the fact that kids were kept out of school for over a year and families prevented from properly saying goodbye to loved ones, but Hollywood got to keep Hollywooding-- just with masks...some of the time.
I really wanted to like this film because I love Haim, but it's probably PTA's worst film to date IMO. Alana Haim is great but Cooper Hoffman just wasn't right for the role of Gary.
This movie is an absolute gem! Cooper Hoffman was perfect…not too good looking but not ugly either. He was REAL. I grew up in the 1970’s and this movie totally embodied the time perfectly.
The very strong slobbering over this movie caused inflated ratings and reviews but didn't make it a profit because in the end, pretty much no one cared. I thought it was boring and thin, written to make everyone fall in love with the characters who were in turn, boring reruns of what we've seen since the 80s coming of age teen flicks. Not even the forced placement of Penn, Cooper, and Waits could save it. And not even ripping off the catchy name of a popular Southern California record chain could save it. PTA may have thought he made a 21st century Fast Times clone, but this was plodding and tedious.
Plot and archetypes wise, yeah, I tend to agree. But the movie has that visual flow and rhythm, nevermind the performances, that makes it feel anxious and honest and raw. American Graffitti to me is more forced than this. The romantic aspects are authentic despite being sort of shallow compared to other PTA romances. It's no Punch Drunk Love or Phantom Thread, but maybe it didn't need to be. Personally I'll always look forward to any PTA movie, he always gets the mood and rhythm of his characters and plots just right. (Honestly I never bothered to watch Fast Times).
This is heavenly. Love seeing PTA’s kids “at work with dad” too.
It’s like he got to make the word’s most expensive home movie.
pretty sure hes sleeping with the young actress. weirdo anderson.
Dude Paul Thomas Anderson has been friends with Haim for YEARS and have directed a lot of their music videos.

It’s awesome seeing the preproduction side of things especially during Covid. Thanks for showing this to us.
Makes me want to see it. I'm impressed that you chose real people. Makes for a supernatural experience on many levels.
Easily one of my favorite directors of all times. What a snapshot of life this movie was. You can tell the actors we’re having a blast.
This is the best movie that I have seen in a long, long time.
That was actually a really good behind the scenes. Like its own documentary.
Just watched it. Beautiful. I love his vision.
Fantastic collection of photos/footage. Thanks.
We need more movies like this 60s and 70s Los Angeles 😍
This is gold! Long live movies

Alana Haim is a member of the huge band "Haim", and Cooper Hoffman is the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman's son.
Dazed and confused is more enjoyable and rewatchable.

PTA genius
Anyone know the first guitar lick-y song? My shazam is spinning in circles.
niice
What s the piano song at 3:00 plz?
There is more of the wall of Sandsackes scene in the behind the scenes than in the movie.
What’s the name of the first song?
July Tree by Nina Simone
I wonder how long Danielle will look like she is 21? I swear sometimes she looks like the youngest, I would never guess she is 33.
Adam Somner as Gary>
Can someone tell me what the first songs name is?
It’s a daddy dookey and the funhouse original
@@jameskelley1835I can't find it...what's title?
All actors are atheists, Dad.
Does anyone know the name of the tiune @7:32?
Jonny Greenwood - Licorice Pizza
@@TheGunner6969 Bless you kind sir.
I wonder whose tesla that is lol
How idiotic was those times in nineteen. How idiotic where we to obey.
a movie with lots of nice shots, but basically without a plotline.
Faak 🤣😵
The entire masks on - masks off thing makes zero sense.

respectfully disagree...i think he was great...very fresh and a kid of that age at the same time...
horrible take

Alan Haim was a HUGE part of why the movie didn't work.

@@radusocol2613 Your opinion is moot if you never took the time to watch the Iconic fast Times. Go away now.
