boogie nights follows a theme that is extremely familiar to gangster films (although it doesn not fit into that genre itself)  the rise and the fall. we see the rise of several individuals and some of them from complete obscurity and to achieving great heights . and then falling from grace due to their excesses. i believe that this is the first feature by writer or director paul thomas anderson and and it a great start. i saw elements of other directors influences and such as robert altman and but the film holds its own in originality and plot development. character development is the movie finest feature. i really identified with all of the characters and felt their pain and their success with them. all of the performances were brilliant. (it was especially good to see a small part performed by real life porn veteran and nina hartley). basically this film combines comedy and tragedy with the result being one of the best films of 1997 and which was snubbed at the oscars (probably due to the racy  as they would say  subject matter and and the general conservatism of the academy.
