Magnolia is a 1999 American drama film written, produced, and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, narrated by Ricky Jay, and starring Tom Cruise, Philip Baker Hall, Philip Seymour Hoffman, William H. Macy, Julianne Moore, John C. Reilly, and Jason Robards in his last feature film appearance. The film is a mosaic of interrelated characters in search of happiness, forgiveness, and meaning in the San Fernando Valley.
Magnolia was a critical success. Of the ensemble cast, Tom Cruise was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the 72nd Academy Awards, and won the award in the same category at the Golden Globes of 2000. Anderson has stated, "I really feel... That Magnolia is, for better or worse, the best movie I'll ever make."
Three urban legends are described by the narrator:
Police officer Jim Kurring investigates a disturbance at a woman's home, finding a body in her closet. Other officers arrive but disregard his report. A young boy, Dixon, offers to help Jim by performing a rap. Dixon claims that he told Jim who committed the murder, but Jim ignores him.

Genres: Drama,I remember that day,
When I tried to patch your pain with faith,
And you betrayed me and our family,
Was it easy for you to walk away?
Full speed ahead with no turn back,
I watched the days turn your soul to black.
I never knew what your love was,
I can't except it to this day.
Your life is driving me insane,
And I can't even begin to explain,
This situation to anyone,
Because I've lost my mind
Lost my mind
Mad, walking like the dead,
You walked away and paid no respect,
To those who love you.
Now you did it,
And it's over now
No longer to be controlled,
You made your choice,
Now I'm through.
And I hope and pray that sense will find you.
I'm sorry x4
Sorry
I'm sorry that this is how it has to be in the end
I simply have nothing left to give
You've drained me,
For the worst,
I'm the one that always put you first,
I am alone
You let me down
I can't forgive you,
But my memory of you will always stay,
As a loving person, who threw it all away
I'm sorry that this is how it has to be in the end
I simply have nothing left to give
You've drained me,
For the worst,
I'm the one that always put you first,
I am alone
You let me down
