The film Boogie Nights provides an interesting case study in the unique nature of human relationships, particularly love and friendship. It presents a cross-mix of various combinations of traditional love categories: friendship love (plutonic or non-sexual), family love, lust, master/servant or apprentice/teacher love, etc. In addition to being entertaining, Boogie Nights presents these combinations to provoke. insight from us into the nature of love. This idea is illustrated by Jack's notion of the ideal pornographic film. His ideal film also echoes the same flaws found in Plato's ideal forms. Boogie Nights attempts to demonstrate the false nature of defined and meaningful love by disrupting its categorization and presenting the absurdity of its definition. Jack's movie cannot exist by definition, and as a product of natural language, the common conception of love cannot exist either. The main relationship in Boogie Nights is that between Eddie, Jack and Amber. Although he does not have a positive family history, Eddie Adams can be seen as a participant in the bond of family love with Jack and Amber playing the roles of father and mother. Amber is tender and caring towards Eddie, and is seen in several scenes offering him comfort and motherly affection. Conversely, Jack is a strong figure who leads Eddie and advises him. He cares about Eddie, but he's also hard on him. He is more than willing to throw him out to teach him a life lesson, although his fatherly nature ultimately allows him to forgive Eddie. This type of interpersonal dynamic contrasts sharply with the more immediate and physical nature of their relationships. Amber has sex with Eddie, something a mother's love should, by definition, foresee... middle of paper ...... theory of Forms and focus on her own life. From there, he could work towards establishing true universal truths instead of doing nothing but wasting his time. I think ultimately the question of the definition of love is a useful question to stimulate a discussion about values, but the question itself is not valid. I believe I have adequately demonstrated that love is not something that can be broadly defined. While this may seem depressing to some, everyone should take heart in the fact that we all have interesting values ​​that we can strive to fulfill and discuss with each other. It probably seems best that love is individual in nature, because you are not limited by social conventions or the fictional definition of love. You can love who or what you want and, strictly speaking, you will never be wrong (although it may not be entirely legal).).
