It is set in [[Los Angeles]]' [[San Fernando Valley]] and focuses on a young [[nightclub]] dishwasher, Eddie Adams, who becomes a popular star of [[pornographic film]]s, chronicling his rise in the [[Golden Age of Porn]] of the 1970s through to his fall during the excesses of the '80s. The film also features cameos by porn actresses [[Nina Hartley]] (as Little Bill's promiscuous wife) and [[Veronica Hart]] (as the custody hearing judge for Amber Waves' court case). The film is an expansion of Anderson's [[mockumentary]] [[short film]] ''[[The Dirk Diggler Story]]'' (1988).<ref name=latimes>{{cite web |last=McKenna |first=Kristine |title=Knows It When He Sees It |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=October 12, 1997 |url=http://articles.latimes.com/print/1997/oct/12/entertainment/ca-41788 |accessdate=2012-06-25}}</ref><ref name=rebels115>{{cite book |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=aQRM1yBVkjAC&lpg=PP1&dq=rebels%20on%20the%20backlot&pg=PA115#v=onepage&q&f=false |last=Waxman |first=Sharon R. |page=115 |title=Rebels on the backlot: six maverick directors and how they conquered the Hollywood studio system |publisher=[[HarperCollins]] |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-06-054017-3}}</ref><ref name=nytimes2>{{cite web |last=Hirshberg |first=Lynn |title=His Way |publisher=[[The New York Times Company]] |work=[[The New York Times|NYTimes.com]] |date=December 19, 1999 |url=http://www.nytimes.com/1999/12/19/magazine/his-way.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm |accessdate=2012-06-25}}</ref><ref name=sundancekids>{{cite book |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=dNgIU-dg2KEC&pg=PA129&dq=%22cigarettes+%26+coffee%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=J77oT-TGObGJ6wGLypHiDg&ved=0CDsQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22cigarettes%20%26%20coffee%22&f=false| last = Mottram | first = James | title =The Sundance Kids : how the mavericks took back Hollywood |publisher=Faber & Faber, Inc |location=NY |year=2006 |isbn=9780865479678 |page=129}}</ref> ==Plot== In 1977, Eddie Adams is a high school [[Dropping out|dropout]] who lives with his stepfather and emotionally abusive [[alcoholic]] mother in [[Torrance, California]]. He works at a [[Reseda, Los Angeles|Reseda]] nightclub owned by Maurice Rodriguez, where he is discovered by [[Pornographic film|porn]] director Jack Horner, who auditions him by watching him have sex with Rollergirl, a porn starlet who always wears skates. After a heated argument with his mother about his girlfriend and sex life, Adams moves in with Horner at his [[San Fernando Valley]] home. Adams gives himself the [[stage name|screen name]] "Dirk Diggler" and becomes a star because of his good looks, youthful charisma and unusually large penis. His success allows him to buy a new house, an extensive wardrobe and a "competition orange" [[Chevrolet Corvette (C3)|1976 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray]]. He and his friend, porn star Reed Rothchild, pitch and star in a series of successful action-themed porn films. At a [[New Year's Eve]] party at Horner's house marking the year 1980, assistant director Little Bill Thompson discovers his porn star wife having sex with another man, he shoots them with the gun and kills himself. Jack and his main source of funding, Colonel James, have a discussion on New Year's Eve with Floyd Gondolli, a "theater" magnate in [[San Diego]] and [[San Francisco]], who insists on cutting costs by shooting on videotape, a format that Jack detests. Subsequent to James' imprisonment for [[child pornography]] and due to the technological changes in the industry away from film and towards video tape, Jack cedes and works with Floyd. He is upset with the lack of scripts and character development in the projects Gondolli expects him to churn out. One of these projects involves him and Rollergirl riding in a limousine searching for random men for her to have sex with while a crew tapes it. When a man recognizes Rollergirl as a former high school classmate, he insults both her and Jack. They beat him and leave him bleeding and half-conscious on the street. Leading lady Amber Waves, who took Dirk under her wing when he joined Jack's stable of actors, finds herself in a custody battle with her former husband. The court determines she is an unfit mother, due to her involvement in the porn industry, prior criminal record and [[cocaine]] [[drug addiction|addiction]]. Buck Swope marries fellow porn star Jessie St. Vincent, who shortly thereafter becomes pregnant. Because of his past, Buck is disqualified from a [[Loan|bank loan]] which he needs to open his stereo equipment store. At the donut shop, he finds himself in the middle of a holdup that the clerk, the robber and an armed customer are killed in the resulting shootout, so Buck escapes with the money that the robber demanded. Dirk becomes addicted to cocaine; consequently, he finds it increasingly difficult to achieve an [[erection]] and falls into violent mood swings. After having a argument with Jack during a film shoot, he and Reed pursue their dream of [[rock and roll]] stardom, a move supported by Scotty, a [[Boom operator (media)|boom operator]] who is in love with Dirk. However, they squander their money on drugs, leaving themselves unable to pay the recording studio for the demo tapes. Desperate for money, Dirk resorts to [[prostitution]], but he is assaulted and robbed by a gang of thugs. Dirk, Reed and their friend Todd attempt to scam drug dealer Rahad Jackson by selling him a half-kilo of baking soda disguised as cocaine. Dirk and Reed wish to leave quickly before Rahad's bodyguard inspects the product, but Todd tries to rob Rahad and is killed in the ensuing gunfight. Frightened by his brush with death, Dirk reconciles with Jack. In 1984, Buck opens his own store and his son has been born, Reed practices a successful magic act at a [[topless bar]], The Colonel becomes a victim of beatings in prison, and Amber finds a career in directing local commercials and porn films under Jack's guidance. Rollergirl and Dirk move in with Jack and prepare to start shooting again. ==Cast== {{col-begin}} {{col-2}} * [[Mark Wahlberg]] as Eddie Adams ("Dirk Diggler") * [[Julianne Moore]] as Maggie ("Amber Waves") * [[Burt Reynolds]] as Jack Horner * [[Don Cheadle]] as Buck Swope * [[John C.

[it] has no trouble holding interest ... but the length promises larger ideas than the film finally delivers."

Adult films are a business here, not a dalliance or a pastime, and one of the charms of ''Boogie Nights'' is the way it shows the everyday backstage humdrum life of porno filmmaking ... The sweep and variety of the characters have brought the movie comparisons to [[Robert Altman]]'s ''[[Nashville (film)|Nashville]]'' and ''[[The Player (film)|The Player]]''. There is also some of the same appeal as ''[[Pulp Fiction (film)|Pulp Fiction]]'' in scenes that balance precariously between comedy and violence ... Through all the characters and all the action, Anderson's screenplay centers on the human qualities of the players ... ''Boogie Nights'' has the quality of many great films, in that it always seems alive."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19971017/REVIEWS/710170301/1023 |title='&#39;Chicago Sun-Times'&#39; review |publisher=RogerEbert.SunTimes.com |accessdate=2011-06-25}}</ref> [[Mick LaSalle]] of the ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]'' stated, "''Boogie Nights'' is the first great film about the 1970s to come out since the '70s ... It gets all the details right, nailing down the styles and the music. More impressive, it captures the decade's distinct, decadent glamour ... [It] also succeeds at something very difficult: re-creating the ethos and mentality of an era ... Paul Thomas Anderson ... has pulled off a wonderful, sprawling, sophisticated film ... With ''Boogie Nights'', we know we're not just watching episodes from disparate lives but a panorama of recent social history, rendered in bold, exuberant colors."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/1997/10/17/DD67372.DTL |title='&#39;San Francisco Chronicle'&#39; review |publisher=SFGate.com |date=1997-10-17 |accessdate=2011-06-25 |first=Mick |last=LaSalle}}</ref> [[Kenneth Turan]] of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' called it "a startling film, but not for the obvious reasons. Yes, its decision to focus on the pornography business in the San Fernando Valley in the 1970s and 1980s is nerviness itself, but more impressive is the film's sureness of touch, its ability to be empathetic, nonjudgmental and gently satirical, to understand what is going on beneath the surface of this raunchy ''Nashville''-esque universe and to deftly relate it to our own ... Perhaps the most exciting thing about ''Boogie Nights'' is the ease with which writer-director Anderson ... spins out this complex web. A true storyteller, able to easily mix and match moods in a playful and audacious manner, he is a filmmaker definitely worth watching, both now and in the future."{{Dead link|date=September 2011}}<ref>{{cite web |last=Boucher |first=Geoff |url=http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/reviews/cl-movie971111-40,0,7782501.story |title=Los Angeles Times review |publisher=CalendarLive.com |accessdate=2011-06-25}}{{Dead link|date=September 2011}}</ref> [[Peter Travers]] of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' said, "[T]his chunk of movie dynamite is detonated by Mark Wahlberg ... who grabs a breakout role and runs with it ... Even when ''Boogie Nights'' flies off course as it tracks its bizarrely idealistic characters into the '80s ... you can sense the passionate commitment at the core of this hilarious and harrowing spectacle. For this, credit Paul Thomas Anderson ... who ... scores a personal triumph by finding glints of rude life in the ashes that remained after [[Watergate scandal|Watergate]]. For all the unbridled sex, what is significant, timely and, finally, hopeful about ''Boogie Nights'' is the way Anderson proves that a movie can be mercilessly honest and mercifully humane at the same time."<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/reviews/boogie-nights-19971010 "''Rolling Stone'' review"].

It is set in [[Los Angeles]]' [[San Fernando Valley]] and focuses on a young [[nightclub]] dishwasher, Eddie Adams, who becomes a popular star of [[pornographic film]]s, chronicling his rise in the [[Golden Age of Porn]] of the 1970s through to his fall during the excesses of the '80s. The film also features cameos by porn actresses [[Nina Hartley]] (as Little Bill's promiscuous wife) and [[Veronica Hart]] (as the custody hearing judge for Amber Waves' court case). The film is an expansion of Anderson's [[mockumentary]] [[short film]] ''[[The Dirk Diggler Story]]'' (1988).<ref name=latimes>{{cite web |last=McKenna |first=Kristine |title=Knows It When He Sees It |work=[[Los Angeles Times]] |date=October 12, 1997 |url=http://articles.latimes.com/print/1997/oct/12/entertainment/ca-41788 |accessdate=2012-06-25}}</ref><ref name=rebels115>{{cite book |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=aQRM1yBVkjAC&lpg=PP1&dq=rebels%20on%20the%20backlot&pg=PA115#v=onepage&q&f=false |last=Waxman |first=Sharon R. |page=115 |title=Rebels on the backlot: six maverick directors and how they conquered the Hollywood studio system |publisher=[[HarperCollins]] |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-06-054017-3}}</ref><ref name=nytimes2>{{cite web |last=Hirshberg |first=Lynn |title=His Way |publisher=[[The New York Times Company]] |work=[[The New York Times|NYTimes.com]] |date=December 19, 1999 |url=http://www.nytimes.com/1999/12/19/magazine/his-way.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm |accessdate=2012-06-25}}</ref><ref name=sundancekids>{{cite book |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=dNgIU-dg2KEC&pg=PA129&dq=%22cigarettes+%26+coffee%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=J77oT-TGObGJ6wGLypHiDg&ved=0CDsQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=%22cigarettes%20%26%20coffee%22&f=false| last = Mottram | first = James | title =The Sundance Kids : how the mavericks took back Hollywood |publisher=Faber & Faber, Inc |location=NY |year=2006 |isbn=9780865479678 |page=129}}</ref> ==Plot== In 1977, Eddie Adams is a high school [[Dropping out|dropout]] who lives with his stepfather and emotionally abusive [[alcoholic]] mother in [[Torrance, California]]. He works at a [[Reseda, Los Angeles|Reseda]] nightclub owned by Maurice Rodriguez, where he is discovered by [[Pornographic film|porn]] director Jack Horner, who auditions him by watching him have sex with Rollergirl, a porn starlet who always wears skates. After a heated argument with his mother about his girlfriend and sex life, Adams moves in with Horner at his [[San Fernando Valley]] home. Adams gives himself the [[stage name|screen name]] "Dirk Diggler" and becomes a star because of his good looks, youthful charisma and unusually large penis. His success allows him to buy a new house, an extensive wardrobe and a "competition orange" [[Chevrolet Corvette (C3)|1976 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray]]. He and his friend, porn star Reed Rothchild, pitch and star in a series of successful action-themed porn films. At a [[New Year's Eve]] party at Horner's house marking the year 1980, assistant director Little Bill Thompson discovers his porn star wife having sex with another man, he shoots them with the gun and kills himself. Jack and his main source of funding, Colonel James, have a discussion on New Year's Eve with Floyd Gondolli, a "theater" magnate in [[San Diego]] and [[San Francisco]], who insists on cutting costs by shooting on videotape, a format that Jack detests. Subsequent to James' imprisonment for [[child pornography]] and due to the technological changes in the industry away from film and towards video tape, Jack cedes and works with Floyd. He is upset with the lack of scripts and character development in the projects Gondolli expects him to churn out. One of these projects involves him and Rollergirl riding in a limousine searching for random men for her to have sex with while a crew tapes it. When a man recognizes Rollergirl as a former high school classmate, he insults both her and Jack. They beat him and leave him bleeding and half-conscious on the street. Leading lady Amber Waves, who took Dirk under her wing when he joined Jack's stable of actors, finds herself in a custody battle with her former husband. The court determines she is an unfit mother, due to her involvement in the porn industry, prior criminal record and [[cocaine]] [[drug addiction|addiction]]. Buck Swope marries fellow porn star Jessie St. Vincent, who shortly thereafter becomes pregnant. Because of his past, Buck is disqualified from a [[Loan|bank loan]] which he needs to open his stereo equipment store. At the donut shop, he finds himself in the middle of a holdup that the clerk, the robber and an armed customer are killed in the resulting shootout, so Buck escapes with the money that the robber demanded. Dirk becomes addicted to cocaine; consequently, he finds it increasingly difficult to achieve an [[erection]] and falls into violent mood swings. After having a argument with Jack during a film shoot, he and Reed pursue their dream of [[rock and roll]] stardom, a move supported by Scotty, a [[Boom operator (media)|boom operator]] who is in love with Dirk. However, they squander their money on drugs, leaving themselves unable to pay the recording studio for the demo tapes. Desperate for money, Dirk resorts to [[prostitution]], but he is assaulted and robbed by a gang of thugs. Dirk, Reed and their friend Todd attempt to scam drug dealer Rahad Jackson by selling him a half-kilo of baking soda disguised as cocaine. Dirk and Reed wish to leave quickly before Rahad's bodyguard inspects the product, but Todd tries to rob Rahad and is killed in the ensuing gunfight. Frightened by his brush with death, Dirk reconciles with Jack. In 1984, Buck opens his own store and his son has been born, Reed practices a successful magic act at a [[topless bar]], The Colonel becomes a victim of beatings in prison, and Amber finds a career in directing local commercials and porn films under Jack's guidance. Rollergirl and Dirk move in with Jack and prepare to start shooting again. ==Cast== {{col-begin}} {{col-2}} * [[Mark Wahlberg]] as Eddie Adams ("Dirk Diggler") * [[Julianne Moore]] as Maggie ("Amber Waves") * [[Burt Reynolds]] as Jack Horner * [[Don Cheadle]] as Buck Swope * [[John C.

[it] has no trouble holding interest ... but the length promises larger ideas than the film finally delivers."

Adult films are a business here, not a dalliance or a pastime, and one of the charms of ''Boogie Nights'' is the way it shows the everyday backstage humdrum life of porno filmmaking ... The sweep and variety of the characters have brought the movie comparisons to [[Robert Altman]]'s ''[[Nashville (film)|Nashville]]'' and ''[[The Player (film)|The Player]]''. There is also some of the same appeal as ''[[Pulp Fiction (film)|Pulp Fiction]]'' in scenes that balance precariously between comedy and violence ... Through all the characters and all the action, Anderson's screenplay centers on the human qualities of the players ... ''Boogie Nights'' has the quality of many great films, in that it always seems alive."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19971017/REVIEWS/710170301/1023 |title='&#39;Chicago Sun-Times'&#39; review |publisher=RogerEbert.SunTimes.com |accessdate=2011-06-25}}</ref> [[Mick LaSalle]] of the ''[[San Francisco Chronicle]]'' stated, "''Boogie Nights'' is the first great film about the 1970s to come out since the '70s ... It gets all the details right, nailing down the styles and the music. More impressive, it captures the decade's distinct, decadent glamour ... [It] also succeeds at something very difficult: re-creating the ethos and mentality of an era ... Paul Thomas Anderson ... has pulled off a wonderful, sprawling, sophisticated film ... With ''Boogie Nights'', we know we're not just watching episodes from disparate lives but a panorama of recent social history, rendered in bold, exuberant colors."<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/1997/10/17/DD67372.DTL |title='&#39;San Francisco Chronicle'&#39; review |publisher=SFGate.com |date=1997-10-17 |accessdate=2011-06-25 |first=Mick |last=LaSalle}}</ref> [[Kenneth Turan]] of the ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' called it "a startling film, but not for the obvious reasons. Yes, its decision to focus on the pornography business in the San Fernando Valley in the 1970s and 1980s is nerviness itself, but more impressive is the film's sureness of touch, its ability to be empathetic, nonjudgmental and gently satirical, to understand what is going on beneath the surface of this raunchy ''Nashville''-esque universe and to deftly relate it to our own ... Perhaps the most exciting thing about ''Boogie Nights'' is the ease with which writer-director Anderson ... spins out this complex web. A true storyteller, able to easily mix and match moods in a playful and audacious manner, he is a filmmaker definitely worth watching, both now and in the future."{{Dead link|date=September 2011}}<ref>{{cite web |last=Boucher |first=Geoff |url=http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/reviews/cl-movie971111-40,0,7782501.story |title=Los Angeles Times review |publisher=CalendarLive.com |accessdate=2011-06-25}}{{Dead link|date=September 2011}}</ref> [[Peter Travers]] of ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' said, "[T]his chunk of movie dynamite is detonated by Mark Wahlberg ... who grabs a breakout role and runs with it ... Even when ''Boogie Nights'' flies off course as it tracks its bizarrely idealistic characters into the '80s ... you can sense the passionate commitment at the core of this hilarious and harrowing spectacle. For this, credit Paul Thomas Anderson ... who ... scores a personal triumph by finding glints of rude life in the ashes that remained after [[Watergate scandal|Watergate]]. For all the unbridled sex, what is significant, timely and, finally, hopeful about ''Boogie Nights'' is the way Anderson proves that a movie can be mercilessly honest and mercifully humane at the same time."<ref>[http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/reviews/boogie-nights-19971010 "''Rolling Stone'' review"].
