I dug into it on this fourth attempt of actually watching it till the end. Finally, it happened, I did it.
Inherent Vice is PTA's most distinguished film. It is challenging with its off-putting tone, yet seductive with its witty dialogue and colorful cinematography. PTA got an Oscar nod for best screenplay with this one, and although I love the man, I don't think he deserved it. Sure the mystery is very well wrapped up, but he could have done much better with the characters. At some moments, the characters felt like Wes Anderson's characters. I don't know. I might be missing something. It was great to see some of my most favorite actors gathered together, which again reminds me of Wes's films, with its impressive casts. And just like in Wes's films, the actors couldn't shine.
Overall, I liked it. PTA went a bit differently this time comparing to his other work, and it didn't disappoint. Oh, and I dropped dead laughing when Doc says: "You're the one that has been stealing my magazines?"
