Magnolia

Trivia: Every time "quiz kid" Donnie Smith is in his car, the song "Dreams" by Gabrielle is playing. It is also playing in the police officer's car at the end.

Trivia: During the beginning of the movie, and a little in to it, the number "82" appears 6 or more times, in various places (tattoo on guy being hanged, time is 8:20, etc.) If you consult a bible, you will see that in Chapter 8, verse 2, in the book of Exodus, the passage talks about the appearance of frogs when Aaron holds out his hand.

Trivia: In every living room there is a picture of a Magnolia.

Trivia: In the opening prologue scene, we are introduced to a murder victim in 1911 called Sir Edmund William Godfrey, who is stated to be a pharmacist. Later in the movie, Linda berates a pharmacist. Both these characters are played by the same actor, Pat Healy, and both characters are pharmacists. (00:00:35 - 01:03:45)

More quotes from Magnolia

Question: What do the frogs stand for? Is it a biblical reference, or could the screenwriters just not think of a better way to wrap up?

Answer: It's much debated the exact meaning, but it's kind of a reference saying that seemingly impossible things do happen. As we see later in the film, people stuck in similarly impossible situations might just have a chance of getting out of them.
