Set

Steven Spielberg

The director Steven Spielberg noted the magnificent play of the actress, and after a while she received an invitation from him to take part in the shooting of the sequel to the movie "Jurassic Park". Then there was the role of the pregnant girlfriend of the hero Hugh Grant in a comedy titled "Nine Months", then the role of the computer burglar Elektra in the thriller "The Mutant Assassins" with Sylvester Stallone and Antonio Banderas. With each following role, Julianne Moore climbed higher up the career ladder.

Erotic roles

A year after the release of the second version of the "Jurassic Park" Julianne Moore, whose filmography regularly replenished with new works, has already become a well-known actress and received an offer from a young filmmaker Paul Anderson to play a leading role in the picture about the porn industry of the 80s. The film was shot under the title "Boogie Nights". At first, the actress experienced an easy shock from the numerous erotic episodes in which she was to participate, but the film's screenplay seemed to her as a whole rather deep and meaningful. In the end, Julianne Moore agreed to participate in the shootings and did not fail. The role of Amber Waves, a porn star and a drug addict, a loving mother and just deep in her heart a worthy woman, made actress Moore a truly popular and beloved by millions of viewers around the world.

Critics characterized her as absolutely devoid of shame Magdalena from the movie. Of course, such reviews only added popularity to Moore, and she in a short time became a star of the first magnitude.

"Magnolia"

The year 1999 was especially effective, the filmography of Juliana Moore became richer at once for five paintings, including the "Magnolia" of the same Paul Anderson and "The End of the novel" based on the story of Graham Greene in the production of director Neil Jordan. In the first film, the role of Linda Patridge, the wife of the main character dying of cancer, shocked Julianne. Her heroine, Linda, standing at the bedside of her husband, confessed to him in his many changes. The role required a sense of deep drama, the only way to ensure the authenticity of the image. And the actress coped with its task.

Jodie Foster and Julianne Moore

In 2001, Moore accepted the offer of director Ridley Scott to play the role of Clarissa Starling in the sequel to "The Silence of the Lambs" under the new name "Hannibal". However, the role that made the famous Jodie Foster should not differ in style from the original game from the role anticipated in the sequel, otherwise the very principle of the continuation of the story would be lost. However, the films with Juliana Moore already won the love of a huge audience, and each of her roles was doomed to success. Moore set to work, inspired by the presence on the set of his idol Anthony Hopkins. Clarissa Starling in Julianna's performance was somewhat different from the version of Jodie Foster, but the role was successful in its own way, and the film as a whole received a good evaluation of critics. Cash gathering amounted to 350 million dollars, and this is the main sign of success.
