Licorice Pizza isn't just a great Paul Thomas Anderson movie, but one that finally gives The Valley the movie it deserves. Here's galaxyleila on how it rings so true:
While it takes place decades before I lived there, the valley is a place that defies time. One intersection could be littered with modern outlets while another is home to vacant lots, colorful liquor stores, and a restaurant from the 1970s.introduces us to a different, better kind of valley girl. Alana, played by Studio City native Alana Haim, represents a familiar valley girl that I feared I might one day become: Stuck, surrounded by people and a place you feel you should have outgrown.
is not a love letter to the valley, and that’s a good thing. Sherman Oaks and Encino are not romanticized. There are no sweeping shots from the mountains over the thousands of nestled homes. The beauty in the valley comes from running distances where it feels like the land will never end. Anderson’s films often return to this motif, emphasizing the vast surroundings his characters travel through. But it feels much warmer and familiar when set in his hometown.
When I tell people growing up in the valley is weird I often say “It’s hard to explain.” It’s difficult to get into the emotional feeling of living in the shadow of something greater, but being encompassed by the world around you that’s so dry and bright and unlike any other city. But while I have never started a waterbed business with my friends and delivered one to Jon Peters, I somehow feel like I have.
