The public perception of adult films may be like this: technically not difficult, let alone artistically valuable; low cost, shoddy production; no plot, or a crappy story that basically shows sexual intercourse; actors and actresses either Either they were forced to make a living, or they were in the business because they were lewd; they were all dirty and sick. The film shows a different picture.
The cast and crew work calmly and normally, with seriousness and dedication, just like anyone who earns money with conscience and wants to work hard to do a good job. Director Jack Horner wanted to make a movie with a storyline that would captivate audiences, rather than simply satisfy people's sexual needs. He loves the art form of film and hates and resists the rise of videotape in the 1980s. He found young and promising actors and told them that porn was the result of financial and human resources. His house is where his team works and gathers, and he is like the head of the big family. Eddie Adams is a natural actor. He was energetic and enthusiastic about making such films, and when the cameraman said he didn't get his climax shot, he immediately told the director that he could do it again. He came up with his stage name, Dirk Diggler, and immediately went into star mode, asking everyone else to call him that on and off screen. He has his own understanding of pornography, can conceive characters, inspire and help Jack make the kind of film he has always dreamed of. The cinematographer will discuss technical issues with the director, hoping that each scene in each film will have its own unique light and shadow. When they are not shooting, they have pursuits and dreams, pains and troubles like everyone else. Maybe I want to get custody of my kids, maybe I want to go back to class, maybe I want to have a wife who always sleeps with other people, maybe I want to be a magician and a rock star, maybe I want to have a good marriage, maybe I want to have a kid of my own shop. For Dirk, his ups and downs are a classic Hollywood formula: money, fame, drugs, depravity, crime, and the possibility of a comeback. Like the changing times of the adult film industry from its golden age in the 70's to the flood of videotapes in the 80's, what I see in the film is the unstoppable wheel of fate, and before it rolls over you, you may be on your way. All sorts of hilarious poses, and then everyone flattened the same but with different silhouettes, and spent a while in the mud before being washed away by the rain.
The film begins with an ingeniously long shot of several minutes, where many characters appear. Nowhere is the film dull, full of color and life, full of details and unexpected arrangements, reaping the benefits of both seriousness and comedy. That said, it's a movie you can watch multiple times, discover something each time, and still be amused. Mark Wahlberg (as Dirk Diggler), Burt Reynolds (as Jack Horner), Julianne Moore (as Amber Waves, Jack Horner's main actress, full of motherhood) or a breakthrough or best performance in years is important, but most What stands out is the excellent storytelling ability of director/writer Paul Thomas Anderson, even though all three of his names are extremely generic. A film of around two and a half hours in length is also required.
Although the film tells the story of the adult film industry, it doesn't have too much nudity, and most importantly, it doesn't try to express it raw or artistically like many movies that use nudity as a selling point. It is neither shy nor focused, realistic but not arousing sexual desire, calm but also full of burdens. Dirk Diggler is young and handsome, with a good body, but what makes him a porn star is that he has a 13-inch "ass-sized dick". When you see a woman in a movie taking off her top and the camera doesn't cut to see her bare breasts, you think, oh, this movie is on such a scale. Then you know you can definitely see more tits and ass. When you're intrigued by this "licensed", but when you see Dirk in his panties and the camera rolls off, you're like, oh, this is out of the picture. The progress of the film also reinforces this feeling. Time and time again, you guess and imagine from the reactions of others when they see this thing. By the end of the film, Dirk returned to Jack's side and resumed the collaboration. After one of his customary powder room monologues, he stood up and unzipped his pants. Just when you thought it was going to be switched off again, you saw that long, thick pituitary. I don't know what you think, but words like "spectacular", "beauty", "maleness", "strength" come to my mind. Objects of this shape and size aren't just what Roger Ebert calls a commodity, it's a "unique thing" for Dirk or everyone who owns it.
