Not everything is a Disney flick morality tale, kid.
>PT Anderson will never again ape Scorsese's style like he did with Boogie Nights and Magnolia
This legitimately depresses me
in the end nothing else really matters as long as you have a huge dick
>>81898181
Good morale.

I disagree. In the end his only comfort was staring at his dick in mirror, forcing himself to believe he's a star.
it is a great fucking movie and it had some pretty sad and some pretty comfy scenes
pta is fucking great
but desu i thought his dick would be bigger

PTA just wanted to do a 70s period piece on the porno industry, throw Heather Graham in there, and contribute to the myth that Mark Wahlberg has a big cock.

"No!" Marky Mark, and everyone around him, is trapped in that lifestyle. They don't have the option of leaving porn-world and having a normal life again, not when everyone can see them fucking on film. Anything can seem "normal" when the people around you are doing it, and everyone's having a good time. But for the people in this movie, the consequences are permanent, even if the actions took place in a dream-world.
Julianne Moore will never get to be a good mom for her real kids, instead she gets to latch on to surrogate porn-star children and ruin their lives. Marky Mark still has a big dick, but his drug use probably took a permanent toll on his ability to perform. And he's gonna get old. Best case scenario, he turns into Burt Reynolds. Worst case, he's that fat fuck getting beaten up in a prison cell after he got caught with child porn.
tl;dr it's Goodfellas with porn
>ywn see the full 3 hour cut of boogie nights with a bunch of reinserted subplots
Strongly based on the life of John Holmes which ended up a hardcore drug addicted that was involved in the brutal murder of his friends.

How would having to wear a dick prosthesis contribute to that?
If anything it does the opposite.

It's the journey not the destination

Thats the point.

I did. Wahlberg uses a prosthetic throughout the film.

Only once people learn he was wearing a prosthetic.
The whole message of the movie is Marky Mark is Long Don Silver.
