boogie night be perhaps one of the great example any would be filmmaker should take a long hard look at . sure and you could spend load of quality time review the clasics from hitchcock to scorsese while but let follow suit for the modern generation and study half heartedly . where to begin and i suppose one could look at the film a simply a story and perhaps even docudrama which focus on the late 1970 porn industry and what an industry it be . the other half could focus on the incredible detail one brillant filmmaker can achieve simply by use polyester and ahem rubber . but honestly and boogie night bring back the pure and no bul . shi $ and in your face kind of cinema i haven not experience since the film great of the 1970 . ironic . or stroke of genius . the story be full of richly detail character and all of which you either can relate too and love and or hate while but the impact be clear you be feel something for them . among the character the two performance which stand out be represent burt reynolds a director jack horner and and mark wahlberg a eddie adam or dirk diggler . julianne moore be also brillant and a be heather graham . but if i focus on any one actor it would have to be john c. reilly . john performance be a perfect balance of comedic timing and character drive emotion . i be a sucker for the line ever see the movie star war . people say i look like han solo . anyway and the look of the film be incredible and the director of photography and director or writer or producer and have come up with a vibrant colour and and flashy style that compare to martin scorsese and and stanley kubrick ( in term of his perfection of his craft ) while but with create his own unique look and and push the edge with the long single shot i haver ever see . that be the new year party sequence . the music and like in any great film and be a character of it own . at time and it consume oneself with sorrow or grief . but mainly it all about fun and dancing and and have a good time while the spirit of the 1970 . ok and back to the performance . burt reynolds play the character of jack horner and a porn director who feel the burden of what the future of film mean to his genre . the awful transition from shoot on film to record on magnetic tape . the lose of his art and a it be . and the change in mentality to the people he work with . walhberg add the perfect blend of innocense and sexual bravado need for the character . for all those individual who have see burton planet of the ape and pay no attention to the performance of wahlberg in that film . rent boogie night and see what a difference a good script can make . julianne moore play the would be mother to all and and with that come the torment and anguish she feel and a life imitates art while and she lose all those close to her . heather graham be the eye candy and but later hold her own and and steal some of the scene from even the great mr. reynolds himself . each character be multidimensional and rich with life and and perform by actor that seem to be picture perfect for the part . the film itself be often funny and tragic and exciting and and provide a uncompromising look into the turblulant lifestyle of the fast pace 1970 . it make no excuse and and tell no lie while and offer the audience a trip back . but even more importantly and the movie give u a grand example of how film should be make while and a new director whose bold vision bring back art in film .
