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

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

There are many other unique personalities discovered in this work. Heather Graham, who played Roller Girl, a rising porn actress who never takes off her skates, gained popularity in films such as ` `Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery: Deluxe '' (1999), and played the role of Little Bill, an assistant director who is constantly troubled by his wife's infidelity. William H. Macy received high praise following `` Fargo '' (1996). Don Cheadle (" The Avengers " series) plays an actor, Thomas Jane (" Hidden Figures " (2003)) plays a male stripper, and Alfred Molina (" Spider-Man 2 " (2004) plays a drug-addicted millionaire). ) used this work as a stepping stone to build his career.

Most of the main characters, including the main character Eddie, taste glory and experience rock bottom. The pornographic film industry is a kind of underground business that never sees the light of day, and it is a special world, but ``Boogie Nights'' has a universal theme that does not change in any world. No matter how bad you fall, no matter how stupid you are, you can try again. Just live your life -- director Anderson uses various techniques, including long shots, to convey this Arrival in a down-to-earth manner without straying from reality. Now that we are living in the unstable Reiwa era, ``Boogie Nights'' may be a movie that should be reconsidered.
