``Boogie Nights'' is the best masterpiece by the genius Paul Thomas Anderson that you should watch now.

Unique actors who played people torn between glory and setbacks

Since it is a group drama, it is impossible not to mention other attractive characters as well. The first is Jack, a pornographic film director who takes care of Eddie and becomes a father figure. Not only is he reliable as the head of a filmmaking family, but his passion for creating masterpieces is also inspiring. Burt Reynolds, played by Burt Reynolds, is a star of action movies that gained popularity in the 70s and 80s with films such as `` Trans Am 7000 '' (77). His career was in the doldrums at the time, but he made a comeback after winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and being nominated for an Academy Award. However, in this film, he and director Anderson did not get along well, and there were times when a fist fight broke out. Anderson offered him a role in his next film, Magnolia , but he declined.

Reid, Eddie's partner, is a porn actor who dreams of becoming a magician. John C. Reilly, who plays the role of John C. Reilly, is a follow-up to Anderson's directorial debut, " Hard Eight " (1996), and has since emerged as a unique individual, appearing in roles such as his recent work " The Sisters Brothers " (18). He continues to be active in a variety of roles, from serious dramas to comedies such as `` Walk Hard Rock '' (2007).

The film also became the breakthrough work for two actors who would go on to win Academy Awards. One is Julianne Moore, who plays Eddie's mother Amber, a porn actress who showers her with motherly love and is in a custody battle with her ex-husband. She received a lot of attention when she was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award for this film, and eventually won the coveted Best Actress Award for `` Stay Alice '' (2014).

The other is Philip Seymour Hoffman, who plays Scotty, a gay young man who works as Jack's assistant and is in love with Eddie. He is also a member of the Anderson group, and has been praised for his previous work, ``Hard Eight,'' and his next film, ``Magnolia.'' As you know, he later won the Best Actor Award for Capote (2005).

It doesn't matter if you hit rock bottom, just live.
