Paul Thomas Anderson (born June 26, 1970) — also known as P.T. Anderson — is an American film director, screenwriter and producer. Interested in film-making at a young age, Anderson was encouraged by his father Ernie Anderson (a disc jockey, and television and radio announcer/voiceover artist) to become a filmmaker. Anderson is a distinctive filmmaker of his generation, praised as a wunderkind after the release of the dramas ''Boogie Nights'' and ''Magnolia''. In 1993, he wrote and directed a short film titled ''Cigarettes & Coffee'' on a budget of $20,000. After he attended the Sundance Institute, Anderson had a deal with Rysher Entertainment to direct his first feature film, a neo-noir crime thriller entitled ''Hard Eight'', in 1996. Anderson received critical and commercial success for his film ''Boogie Nights'' (1997), set during the Golden Age of Porn in the 1970s and 1980s. His third feature, ''Magnolia'' (1999), received wide acclaim despite struggling at the box office. In 2002, the romantic comedy-drama ''Punch-Drunk Love'', Anderson's fourth feature, was released to positive reviews. After a five-year absence, the epic drama ''There Will Be Blood'' was released to critical acclaim in 2007. It is Anderson's highest-grossing film to date and is considered by some critics to be one of the most important films of the 21st century. In 2012, Anderson's sixth film, the drama ''The Master'', was released to critical acclaim. His seventh film, the crime comedy-drama ''Inherent Vice'', based on the novel of the same name by Thomas Pynchon, was released in 2014, to general acclaim. Anderson has been nominated for six Academy Awards over the course of his career. ==Early life== Anderson was born in Studio City, California, to Edwina (née Gough) and Ernie Anderson.〔〔 Ernie was an actor who was the voice of ABC and a Cleveland television late-night horror movie host known as "Ghoulardi" (after whom Anderson later named his production company). Anderson grew up in the San Fernando Valley. He is third youngest of nine children,〔〔 and had a troubled relationship with his mother but was close with his father, who encouraged him to become a writer or director.〔 Anderson attended a number of schools, including Buckley in Sherman Oaks, John Thomas Dye School, Campbell Hall School, Cushing Academy and Montclair Prep. Anderson was involved in film-making at a young age〔〔 and never really had an alternative plan to directing films. He made his first movie when he was eight years old and started making movies on a Betamax video camera which his dad bought in 1982 when he was twelve years old.〔 He later started using 8 mm film but realized that video was easier.〔 He began writing in adolescence, and at 17 years old he began experimenting with a Bolex sixteen millimeter camera.〔 After years of experimenting with "standard fare", he wrote and filmed his first real production as a senior in high school at Montclair Prep using money he earned cleaning cages at a pet store.〔 The film was a thirty-minute mockumentary shot on video called ''The Dirk Diggler Story'' (1988), about a pornography star; the story was inspired by John Holmes, who also served as a major inspiration for ''Boogie Nights''.〔〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Thomas Anderson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
