NOTE TO FILM SCHOOL DWEEBS: Director Paul Thomas Anderson only attended film school for two days, preferring to learn the craft by watching films by the filmmakers he liked, as well as watching films accompanied by directors audio commentary. In 2012 at Australias Melbourne premiere of The Master at The Astor Theatre, Anderson spoke candidly of his brief experiences at film school, remarking on his frustration at the dull silent movies displayed by lecturers who tried to make movie watching feel as much like homework as possible. Anderson cites Martin Scorsese, Robert Altman, Jonathan Demme, Stanley Kubrick, Orson Welles, and Max Ophüls as his main influences as a filmmaker. IF YOURE NOT EXPERIENCING IT AT SCHOOL, YOURE WASTING YOU MONEY!
