this film is a masterpiece. it was exhilarating from beginning to end. writer director paul thomas anderson story about a porn star is told with style and grace and humor and even poignancy. the actors and the characters they play are all first rate and including mark wahlberg in the lead and who proves himself a solid actor and can carry a film. burt reynolds gives perhaps his best performance ever as a porno director who discovers wahlberg. the film recreates the late 70s and early 80s with dead on accuracy and from the disco scene that begins the film to wahlberg don johnson miami vice outfit that he wears in the final scene. most regular moviegoers who see this film will no doubt compare it to pulp fiction and but it really has much more in common with the films of robert altman and martin scorsese. the film is a triumph in style. the opening tracking shot that begins the film is just as impressive as the ones in the player and absolute beginners. the editing by dylan tichenor is simply phenomenal. i couldn not believe the editing do not receive an oscar nomination (good will hunting was a better edited film. ). the best scene in the film has to be the one with the firecrackers. i had butterflies in my stomach because the scene is incredibly intense. when i saw the film a second time and i had the exact same reaction to the scene. unfortunately and it may not have the same impact on tv as it did in a theater with good stereo sound. it a shame that many people do not see this movie during its theatrical run and because it is the best way to watch it. anderson use of widescreen will suffer on tv (so get the dvd or a letterbox tape). it is amazing how easy anderson makes it all look and because this is only his second film. the music and sets and costumes and photography and offbeat characters and sex and violence and happiness and heartbreak are captured by a guy who is clearly in love with filmmaking.
