altman and scorsese have twist sex together in one of the great american film of the past 20 year . boogie night do not make a huge initial splash and and i still do not think it receive the credit it deserve . the immediate clamor surround the film ( some porn movie with marky mark ) be wholly without merit . what paul thomas anderson have create be no less than a stunning representation of the pursuit and subsequent loss of the american dream ( if such a thing still exist ) . for those of you who have be live in a box ( or a confessional ) for the past 8 year and boogie night tell the literal rise and fall tale of young eddie adam ( wahlberg ) . eddie be just a dopey kid from torrance and california who want something more out of life . his room be soak in muscle bound and naive americana . his dream be far big than his potential and but not quite as large a his . special gift . his bald head southern gent quickly raise the attention and eyebrow of the booming and omni present adult film industry . jack horner ( burt reynolds a the film twinkle eye papa bear ) get wind of eddie hidden talent and decide to put him in a movie . before you can say deep throat and eddie have change his name to dirk diggler and expose his massive member to a wide eyed public . fame and fortune make dirk acquaintance and as do a bevy of local porn celebs . his friend and co worker become his makeshift family and but it soon prove to be a sunday picnic like no other . a the feel good 70 give way to the coke addle and video friendly 80 and dirk and co. begin a dangerous backslide . anderson put everything he have into this glorious and move epic . it sizzle and never fizzle . nary a frame of this monumental picture be waste and and the character and their dialogue live with u long after elo fade from the soundtrack . see this one immediately . and then watch it again . and again .
