Transcript of Featured Review

Alright guys. Today we are going to take a look at the movie Blow starring Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz. Blow is actually based on a true story about George Young. He is a drug lord who imported Columbian cocaine into the US. This movie is set in a kind of seventy . . . eighty-ish time and it traces his partnership throughout his drug dealings. There are a lot of special features behind this one. You have George Young Interviews by director Ted [Dim] you have Lost Paradise: Cocaine Packed in Columbia Addiction: Body and Soul Fast Track Trivia subtitled track with direct access to additional features. It also has some DVD-ROM features that let the screen access the film linked to the original website exclusive access to the online features. It also has an online all access pass feature which includes commentary with the director and George Young deleted scenes with the director Character Outtakes: Ted [Dim's] Production Diary [Nick Costa] Music Video Push and Pull teaser and theatrical trailers and cast and crew filmographies. This video is rated R for drug content language some violence and sexuality. And this was made in 2001. Now what I am going to do here is show you a clip from the movie which is 124 minutes right over two hours. And this is where Johnny Depp is get caught by authorities and he has to take some mug shots. You all enjoy. (From the movie) George Young you stand the accused of possession of 660 lbs of marijuana that you intend to distribute. How do you plea? Your honor I would like to say a few words to the court if you may? Well you haven't stopped slouching and stand up to address this court sir. Well . . . in all honesty I don't know if what I have done is a crime? And I think that it is illogical and irresponsible for you to send me to prison. Because when you think about it whatever I do crossed an imaginary line with a bunch of [indiscernible]. And that was a look at Blow starring Johnny Depp. You all have a good day goodbye

Summary
A 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 Medellín 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 Penélope 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
