Must See Movie...

Memorable, crazy movie

Can't say I've seen many theatrical released dramas about adult films, so this is new territory. Pornography is, obviously, very popular and this film showcases the rise of said industry in the 70's and its downhill in the 80's. It centres around the fictional Dirk Diggler (that name...it's just beautiful) and how he finds success through a adult film director named Jack Horner. Being in that type of business, Dirk starts becoming susceptible to the lavish lifestyle and the drugs and crime that follow. A fascinating albeit daring subject to tackle, director Paul Thomas Anderson manages to make it a rather compelling story. Slight tonal inconsistencies, particularly in the third act where it just loses steam but overall I found this to be thoroughly entertaining with dark comedic moments. It's another Anderson movie where his direction takes precedent. Super nice long takes that just lets the characters interact. Whether it be having sex, sniffing cocaine or running away from a shotgun wielding psychopath, the characters resembled the 70's. The disco attire looked fantastically authentic and really made me want to get down and boogie in my lounge (was so tempted...). Acting was outstanding all round. Julianne Moore and Burt Reynolds deserved their award nominations. Mark Wahlberg pulled off that sparky confident teenager role well. When it came to filming the pornography, the acting was incredibly cheesy which was sooo good to see. They honestly nailed it. Then seeing how porn progressed to amateur and drive-by within the 80's was interesting. I'm not addicted to porn or anything, but it's a refreshing subject to watch instead of slavery, haunted houses or World War II. So yes, despite the inconsistent tones this was incredibly enjoyable with phenomenal direction.

Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds, Julianne Moore, Heather Graham, William H. Macy and John C. Reilly star in this 1997 drama. This takes place from the late 70's to early 80's centering on young man, Eddie (Wahlberg) who rises to fame as a porn star, Dirk Diggler, but falls into the dark world of greed and drugs along with his friends & colleagues. Reynolds (Smokey & The Bandit) plays director, Jack, Moore (Hannibal) plays porn actress, Amber, Graham (License to Drive) plays waitress turned porn actress, Rollergirl, Macy (Fargo) plays Jack's assistant/producer, Bill and Reilly (Step-Brothers) plays Dirk's pal & co-star, Reed. Don Cheadle (Out of Sight), Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) and porn legends, Nina Hartley and Veronica Hart also appear. This is a good drama and Wahlberg (Ted) & the cast are great in it. I recommend this.

I can watch this movie so many times and not get sick of it. One of my faves of all time, great characters and character development.

Boogie Nights is a very good drama about the porn industry. Paul Thomas Anderson did a very good job directing and writing. It is very well shot, particularly the costumes and music. It is fast moving the story never lags. It has wonderful script. It uses multiple characters with different personalities and motivations. It shows the industry from many points of view. I like that he didn't hold back on the drug and sex scenes it gave it a raw authentic look. It has excellent performances by Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds, and Julianne Moore. It also has a wonderful supporting cast with wonderful performances by John C Reilly, William H Macy, Don Cheadle, Heather Graham, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and many others. Boogie Nights is not a movie for everyone do to the rough nature and content. However it is one of Paul Thomas Andersons best movies, and one of the best dramas from the 1990's. I have seen it several times over the years, and I enjoy it and get more impressed with it each time. It is very good.
