  • A Brilliant Biopic on Blow and Fatherhood

    A shocking depiction of greed and debauchery. Ted Demme's Blow (2001) is a gripping crime biopic with Johnny Depp portraying drug lord George Jung. Demme's film captures the weed sales spike of the 1970's and the cocaine cartel boom of the 1980's alongside the sleazy and drugged up world of drug trafficking in America, Mexico, and Colombia. Demme's direction is fast paced and grounds this fantastic story with a parable of fatherhood and what good parenting could do for someone. Demme gives context for the massive drug smuggling going on with effortless ease. His direction keeps you held in suspense through violent drug deals, tense family disputes, unreal coke sniffing, money laundering, or joint smoking. Blow keeps its promise from its slang title. Blow is like Narcos on even more cocaine. Graeme Revell's score is simple and nuanced, only chiming in for key moments with hypnotic sounds to keep you on an entertainment high. I really love the serene score behind the scene with Johnny Depp saying goodbye to Franka Potente. It's touching and devastating set to Revell's quiet and somber send-off. The acting in Blow is top notch with a stacked cast representing the immoral and libertine cartels. Depp is awe inspired as the quiet mastermind behind the spread of weed and cocaine throughout suburban America. Depp's fun loving attitude gives Blow a chill vibe, which changes tonally as he meets various criminals. Such as the brilliant Jordi Molla as the lecherous Diego. His treacherous ways are hidden behind Molla's sly smile. Penelope Cruz is as voluptuous as ever, but delivers a crazed performance as Depp's wife Mirtha Jung. Her mega attitude is manipulative and intoxicating. Cruz plays a woman handed all the wealth and luxury in the world, who is still not satisfied. Her depiction of a woman surrendering to substances is haunting. On the other hand, Franka Potente is amazing as the alluring Barbie, Jung's girlfriend. Her chemistry with Depp is inspired as is her dramatic moments of doom. I must mention the hilarious and endearing Rachel Griffiths as Jung's mother Ermine. Her screaming over money and morality are perhaps my favorite scenes in Blow. Likewise, Ray Liotta is inspired and poignant as Jung's decent father Fred Jung. His final scene in the garage is depressingly real. Liotta has built a career off of crime thrillers and gangster movies, so Blow is a neat character turn where he plays the good father desperately warning his son of his wicked ways. Liotta's gentle reminder by Jung's superfluous sports cars is a gripping moment of clarity. All of Liotta's scenes feel so genuine and heartfelt. Ray Liotta is just a marvelous actor. Even Paul Reubens, also known as Pee-wee, is excellent as the drug supplier Derek Foreal. Also, I must note Cliff Curtis is terrifying as the cool and callous Pablo Escobar. Ethan Suplee is fun as Jung's friend Tuna. I really was impressed by a young Emma Roberts as Jung's daughter Kristina Jung. In all, Blow's ensemble is formidable in all functions for this film. The dramatic is more gripping thanks to their captivating or intimidating performances, while the legendary depravity of all involved is forever documented by Blow.
