Blinded by the Light: A review of the movie Blow

The movie box was the third movie released in 2001 that go down the America waste deep into the medicine culture, following craft and Requiem for a Dream. Unlike Traffic and Requiem for a Dream, bumble hits the medicate culture from another even out(p) of view, the dealers. George Jung, contend by Johnny Depp, is a free spirited modern man from Boston who decides to move out to California with his ruff friend Tuna. California Turns into one big party for George and Tuna. When only the money is spent Tuna has the idea to sell gage to make there living. In just a a couple of(prenominal) short months Boston George is hooking up the entire ring community.

This movie was a good opportunity for Johnny Depp to collection the range he has in his acting. He was able to go from a fresh-faced twenty year old who was full of try for and ambition to a fifty-year old man who has been broken by life.

The emotion is truly brought out by the inspirational blood between George and founder Fred Jung, played by Ray Liota. He was able to bring a whole new point of view upon a medicate dealer, trying to send the heart of what Georges true priorities in life were. Rachel Griffiths ties the whole family together with her cussed ways, that would not accept Georges way of life. Altogether, the actors seemed very comfortable works with each other which just added to the emotion of the movie.                   I thought process that the soundtrack from the movie has been one of the better soundtracks to direct come out in the past few years. The line up of the drug related classic rock parolegs were essential in this movie. They unfeignedly helped in portraying the time sequences in the movie. Starting with the more than classic rock songs of the seventies, moving into the flashy Miami Vice tunes of the eighties.

The inflaming through out the movie fit the tone. The director unploughed the scenes darker during the hard time in Jungs life. In someways, it seems as though the movie is trying to glorify the job of a drug dealer. With the luxuries and Riches that it brings to George in his family. But it is all brought back to what Georges bewilder tells him in the beginning after their family goes bankrupt.

Money isnt real. It doesnt matter; it only seems like it does. A lesson which will adjoin George more that he could imagine. Throughout the movie I was positive(p) that it was glorifying the life of a drug lord, until every social occasion starts to fall apart. Which Blow shows as the inevitable path of a drug dealer.

In the end, I felt that the movie was not so much virtually drugs as it is almost generational dynamics; From father to son to daughter. Blow has a way of truly making you presuppose about how much the loved ones in your life really matter to you. No matter what, Georges father supported him with everything that he did. Even when he skipped bail and was on the run from the cops, Georges father still took him in and gave him shelter.

Although this is not a movie about drug users, it gives an insightful glimpse on the production and statistical distribution of different drugs, mainly Coke. It shows the growing farm for the Cocaine congeal in Columbia, and the factory that it goes through in the beginning of the movie.



From production, Blow goes on to show some of te dynamics of the mislabeled trade, from transport to the small time trafficking that goes on within the states. As well as the luxuries and consequences in between.

One negative thing that I felt about Blow was that it is almost a second generation Scarface, with more emotion and less action. more than of the storyline could incur fallowed what happened in Scarface, taking away the originality of the movie.

every(prenominal) around this was a well written movie, that will draw in you in and will leave you with sympathy for a drug dealer. It is a surprisingly powerful movie that has a uncanny way of altering your perception towards someone who becomes a drug lord. Demme, the director, is careful to never show any of the victims of Georges business. This would have unbalanced the rhythm of the movie.

I found it to be a movie showing that the boatloads of easy money from the drug instauration can blind ones true intentions in life. Giving you everything that you could have ever imagined in life, but risking losing it all in an instant. all in all, the movie was thoroughly enjoyable, and I would give 5 out of five stars. It was worth the seven dollars to see it in the theaters, and worth the $15 for the DVD. This movie just hits too reason out to home for me to not enjoy. If there is one message that Blow is sending, it is that money is not real, what is real is the relationships with the people closest to you. Something which George is blind too, and does not understand until it is all over.
