Movie Reviews of Blow [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: "One of the best"
Summary: 5 Stars
-BLOW-
When I first watched blow I was blown away by the story line it's just incredible. The man of gorge Jung who persuade happiness or though he thought. It shows how it is easy to get rich selling drugs. But the
consequences are permanent. I would encourage little kids to watch this and decide for them self "do want two lives like this?" It's true that money is not everything George Jung thought he had a perfect wife and the perfect life. But with selling there's always twist and turns, it would
of bin a lot worse for George Jung. George Jung did crash on burn but he did not stop there. He tried to make things better but at the end he was set up and went to jail for the last time, for a long time. It's not easy
to get away from cops; they will always nail you for the big stuff. This is why I encourage for kids to watch this and see what kind of destruction the life of drug dealing can cause. The movie did paid respect to the chronology of George Jung's career. George's chronology is base on his life. The movie shows a lot of respect to George and
everything he did. It show respect to Jung's fans, the movies he been on and the people he was with. Jung has respect for Blow and his cast members and the director. Once I saw Blow, when George was an undercover cop. He really got in his character and he does show a lot of respect for
the movie. George's career might have some defining moments and significant events for his life and the movie.
Summary of Blow [Blu-ray]
Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 09/23/2008 Run time: 97 minutes Rating: Pg13A briskly paced hybrid of Boogie Nights and Goodfellas, Blow chronicles the three-decade rise and fall of George Jung (Johnny Depp), a normal American kid who makes a personal vow against poverty, builds a marijuana empire in the '60s, multiplies his fortune with the Colombian Medell?n cocaine cartel, and blows it all with a series of police busts culminating in one final, long-term jail sentence. "Your dad's a loser," says this absentee father to his estranged but beloved daughter, and he's right: Blow is the story of a nice guy who made wrong choices all his life, almost single-handedly created the American cocaine trade, and got exactly what he deserved. As directed by Ted Demme, the film is vibrantly entertaining, painstakingly authentic... and utterly aimless in terms of overall purpose.
We can't sympathize with Jung's meteoric rise to wealth and the wild life, and Demme isn't suggesting that we should idolize a drug dealer. So what, exactly, is the point of Blow? Simply, it seems, to present Jung's story as the epitome of the coke-driven glory days, and to suggest, ever so subtly, that Jung isn't such a bad guy, after all. Anyone curious about his lifestyle will find this film amazing, and there's plenty of humor mixed with the constant threat of violence and paranoid anxiety. Demme has also populated the film with a fantastic supporting cast (although Pen?lope Cruz grows tiresome as Jung's hedonistic wife), and this is certainly a compelling look at the other side of Traffic. Still, one wishes that Blow had a more viable reason for being; like a wild party, it leaves you with a hangover and a vague feeling of regret. --Jeff Shannon
