What the fuck was up with that? A bad ending would have been so much better. It's a good movie in my opnion, but the ending was horrible.
What does Sup Forums think about it?
this movie shined as a period piece more than anything
enjoy it for what it is, you're probably not getting this style from PTA again
sorry, who does he murder?
Was it really a happy ending? Dirk is reduced to essentially a talking penis.
My bad, I was confused with the other guy. He was an accomplice however.
He gets back together with his pal Jack and continues doing what he loved,
If you think it was a happy ending you didn't get the message of the film.
Care to explain it?
>boogie nights
>happy ending
That's not how i remember it
>dark side of pornography

This was my analysis too. After everything he's left alone, staring at his dick, telling himself he's a star.
PTA wants you to sympathize with whores and degenerates. He did the same in magnolia
The actual guy that he was based off of ended up getting AIDs in the 80s which makes the ending seem far more bleak
How is Dirk a murderer? They are actually very fortunate, only a couple are truly self destructive. Buck tries alternative routes to a normal life yet his past doesn't permit him. He has no part in the robbery.
The happy ending was a return to the happy beginning. Doing porn wasn't acceptable to their real family, so they became each other's family.
Dude the movie was dark as fuck right before the ending, did you really want to end it on that much of a depressing note?
Besides the ending mostly shows that they are a family, despite being broken individuals.
Boogie Nights has the best coke scene cinema dare i say cokekino
>>AYY LETS MAKE A GOOD, HAPPY ENDING
You believe that it's a happy ending, after everything you have just seen? At that point maybe it was. It just speaks to how naive you are, to think it's going to be all sunshine and lollipops from then on.
I wish they made more films like this nowadays
now it's all capeshit and shlock
The Colonel was the only true bad guy in the film. It's implied that he was making child pornography. The young girl that ODs was probably how he was caught.
the ending isnt happy
they only have each other, and they are trapped in their miserable, fading existence.

OP, neck yourself, you retard
I was blazed when I watched this for the first time. In that mindset, the gay prostitute scene was the darkest thing ever in cinema.
Hollywood pretty much mandates happy endings
The inability of people to understand simple things is very, very sad.
The ending of this film is not happy. The character has learned nothing, he's alone in a room and his dick is the only thing that matters for him. Elsewhere in the house certain lines echo earlier moments in the film indicating that things are just repeating, their world is tiny and incapable of change, they are stuck on certain tracks and will almost surely face more future miseries.
There is no happiness to the ending unless you're incapable of detecting irony.
id rather see a movie about the guy they tried to rob than watch this again
What is Inherent Vice?
>Rollergirl will never permanently fuck up your face by stomping it in repeatedly
When will it ever end, bros?
You're in luck.
What the scene is based on.
en.m.wikipedia.org
Wonderland
I haven't seen it though.
You are a retard?
I want to watch that documentary Dirk made
>"He [Eddie Nash] was an awful man... John told me he used to leave the bathrooms without toilet paper, then offer the young women cocaine if they'd lick his ass clean." [5]
shiggy
Boogie Nights is basically a comedy. Theres some dark stuff but the majority of this movie is pure comedy
The drug deal ripoff scene is one of the best scenes in anything ever.
Unwatchable shit and PTA is one of my favorite directors
This is literally what kino is. Nothing will ever surpass it.
youtube.com
you must be very young or have seen very few films.
You must have shit taste, and are not a true kinossieur.
what was the purpose of Don Cheadle's character, he contributed literally nothing to the plot outside of minor comic relief
ya know what, sometimes it's okay to have characters that aren't super significant. they have a name, did you know? minor characters. yep. that's what they are! the more you know!
The movie had great use of music.
>HERLA HALLA JESSIE'S GIRRRRRLLL
>YOU FINNA HANNA JESSIE'S GIRRRRRRRLLL
yeah the soundtrack is pretty good
>Another officer commented, upon hearing of Launius' death, "I suppose they won't need many pall bearers". When asked to elaborate, the policeman explained: "A trash can only has two handles".
Dirk is incapable of doing any other line of work and will most likely die from AIDS.
Will Mark Wahlberg ever top this role? He was God tier in this movie but nowadays he settles for shitty action and comedy movies
I'd never let my guard down for some two-dollar whore. In fact, you know what I'd do to her? I'd take off her rollerblades, tie up the laces. and throw them at a telephone line.
>happy ending
retard
They're rollerSKATES asslord, big difference.
Rollerblades, rollerskates, I don't give a shit I'm throwing them at a telephone line and there's nothing that whore can do to stop me.
You got the touch
you got the powwwwweeeerrrrrrrr!
Say that to my face, fgt.
I liked that scene and it fit the film but somehow I wish they would've made a scene repeating wonderland murders. That was some brutal lowlife business
Surprisingly John C. Reilly will go down in history as the actor who starred in the most kino.
It's a part of the 80s that's misrepresented imo. It's seedy and gritty af, plus there was music that mirrored it perfectly and shoved it's irony down your throat.
It's like 80s America was ashamed of itself and produced a sugary sweet mask to wear around.
not him but...
dirk wasnt the brightest tool in the shed he kinda knew it deep inside but he had his dreams, only his dreams, no family support, no home at one point, no love, no money...oh and a big dick, he becomes a very famous porn actor of course, boom new house new car new friends new career, he wants to be a singer a serious actor,he cant accept the fact that hes not talented enough , the porn director "jack" had the same problem,
in the end jack finds peace in his own little porn world with a thankful and optimistic point of view and dirk finally accept that hes just a big penis (not as good as jack, kinda apathetic if u ask me), trying to be professional and shit.
pardon for my english, isnt my 1st language
>Movie about the dark side of pornography
Does porn even have a non-dark side?
Even as a daily weed smoker comments like this just piss me off. No one gives a shit what you were doing before or after you watched it.
He's a good actor, and he doesn't upstage the real talent. That's why directors love him
