boogie night be one of the best film to come out of the 90 and i would go so far a to say it should be in the imdb top 250. i can actually understand why many would dislike it and due to the subject matter . i personally feel however a many do and judge from the aclaim this film receive by viewer and critic that it topnotch film making . the direction and act in this film surpass good and reach the level of brilliance . there be not one scene in this movie that isn not amazing . the individual character reach out and touch you . give that this be a movie about the porn industry and one wouldn not imagine the sex scene could be handle with such sensitivity but they be . the direction be among the best i have ever see and i have see a lot of film . the film isn not about one particular personal individual story and it about many . it a character study about people who have many layer to them and who maybe in an industry most would find alien but who still dream the same dream and have both bad and good to them . boogie night draw you into their story from the beginning and and though the film be long ( i believe almost 3 hour ) you honestly do not even notice . and when it end you kind of do not want it to . i be not easy to impress and mean there aren not many movie i would give a positive rating to but this be one . beyond the multiple character study and be the use of music in the film . i have never and in all my year of see movie see music tell a story as well a in this movie . there be such flawlessness to it and you know it not something your gon na see everyday . burt reynold performance be perhaps the best i have ever see him do and and mark wahlberg be incredible ( i be astound there be still people say he doesn not act well . i do not know how anyone view this could possibly think that ) but the person who really surprise me be heather grahem ( rollergirl ) who be absolutely fantastic in her role and in particular the one memorable scene with burt reynolds in the limo and towards the end . again and i will echo other imdb reviewer in say this movie be not for everybody . but i still think this be topnotch . positive .
