Boogie Nights is a script that's meant to do something more than just be a thing on the page. In much the same way that Goldman tells the director how to cut the movie together, P.T. Anderson is trying to get you into his brain. The best way he knows to tell the story is by telling it to you exactly as he sees it in his head. Other writers and director's should only hope to be as visual as he is.
That being said, I don't love this script. The characters are a little flat and the script seems like its about forty pages too long. The technical directions were not my problem with it though.
1. Did you at any time feel like some of the story lines were getting lost?
2. Why do you think Paul Thomas Anderson chose to make Boogie Nights a period piece?
