Boogie Nights
PTA’s best made film on the stand point of writing, camera work, other technical aspects. The camera work for the parties is some of the best I’ve ever seen. PTA has a clean, yet exciting, emotional, and engaging screenplay that is supported by a strong lead and a even stronger supporting cast. An ending that catches you off guard and may seem like a questionable decision until you think about it and you see how good it is. Though I love the ending of a very similar movie Babylon, I do find Boogie Night’s to be a bit more complex with it’s opportunity for the future with it compared to Babylon’s more obviously sad and blatantly hopeless ending.
Objectively it’s his masterpiece, I think I might like One Battle on a personal level more but this is PTA’s masterpiece.
