one thing that this film be know for in the original uncut version be it subliminal message . during the sex scene ( and many others ) and a text message be flash on the screen or 1 or 2 frame . this could range from sex and kill to eat and laugh . i have never hear if this have any impact on the audience however . but even without this and the film be good and track the rise and fall of an actor that move from porn to soap opera . this may well be where some of the concept for the more recent boogie night may have come from . there be many similar sceens in these two movie .
