This is one of my favorite Mark Wahlberg movies.
If you're not familiar with this movie, here's the plot:
In the San Fernando Valley in 1977, teenage busboy Eddie Adams gets discovered by porn director Jack Horner, who transforms him into adult-film sensation Dirk Diggler. Brought into a supportive circle of friends, including fellow actors Amber Waves, Rollergirl, and Reed Rothchild, Dirk fulfills all his ambitions, but a toxic combination of drugs and egotism threatens to take him back down.
Here are some interesting facts about Boogie Nights:
After seeing a rough cut of the film, Burt Reynolds regretted making it. He fired his agent for recommending the role to him, and did not participate in promotional interviews. Reynolds ended up winning a Golden Globe for the role, and being nominated for an Academy Award for his performance.
Leonardo DiCaprio was originally offered the role of Dirk Diggler. He liked the screenplay, but turned it down because he had already signed on to do Titanic. DiCaprio suggested Mark Wahlberg for the role.
The sequence where Dirk, Reed, and Todd are at Rahad Jackson's house, an attempted scam involving drugs, a rich and violent man, and a robbery plot that turns into a scene of bloodshed, is a reference to the Wonderland murders that centered around John Holmes and gangster Eddie Nash.
Rumors of plans for a "Boogie Nights 2" are false. Paul Thomas Anderson has stated that he does not do sequels.
Mark Wahlberg originally didn't want to do the film after the high-profile failure of Showgirls. He changed his mind after reading the script.
Jason Lee and Joaquin Phoenix turned down the role of Dirk Diggler.
Christian Bale, Ben Affeleck, Matt Damon, and Ethan Hawkewere all considered for the role of Dirk Diggler.
Here are my favorite scenes from the movie:
Here's an analysis of the movie.
I think the analysis of the movie was very well explained. I like how the movie showed the "family aspect" the porn industry provided for Eddie because he didn't grow up in a nice home.
