Paul Thomas Anderson was twenty-six, on his second film, and somehow directing a cast of this size like a veteran. Luke, Westy, and Matt begin the story of his breakout. In Part 1 we cover the film's opening, director Paul Thomas Anderson, the cast, and the second act — including Mark Wahlberg's career-redefining turn, the huge ensemble, and the long tracking shots that announced a major talent. The party's not over. Part 2, covering the crew, the finale, reception, and the film's legacy, is available now.
