P.T. Anderson's second feature film

There aren't many movie directors who receive worldwide attention every time they release a new work, but many movie fans agree that Paul Thomas Anderson is one of them. `` Magnolia '' (1999), `` Punch-Drunk Love '' (2002), and ` `The Master '' (12) received international acclaim, winning awards at the world's three major film festivals: Berlin, Cannes, and Venice . There Will Be Blood '' (2007) and his recent work `` Phantom Thread '' (2017) have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture, and have received high praise.

Anderson's breakthrough work was his second feature film, ``Boogie Nights'' (1997), which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. Some movie fans avoid the film because they think it is immoral because it is based on the American pornographic film industry of the 1970s and 1980s, but that is such a waste. So, in this article, let's explore the charm of this masterpiece once again.

“Boogie Nights” preview

The story is set in the San Fernando Valley near Los Angeles, where Anderson spent her childhood and is home to many adult film and video production studios, making it a mecca for the American porn industry. The main character, Eddie, is an ordinary 17-year-old boy who wants to be recognized for his worth but is oppressed and frustrated by his strict parents. The extraordinary bulge in the crotch of his jeans catches the attention of Jack, a master of the porn film industry, and scouts him as an actor.

Eddie quickly became a star under the stage name Dirk Diggler, but at the same time, he felt at home with Jack and his friends...fellow actors, popular actresses, up-and-coming actresses, and the staff, feeling like a real family. To go. But good times don't last long. The movie is a group drama centered on Eddie, and looks at the fate of people who lived through a period of change, from the decline of pornographic films to the rise of adult videos.
