    Been on a Johnny Depp movie binge ever since his defamation trial started and I came across "Blow."
    It was my first time watching it; I had zero expectations, but I was completely blown away (no pun intended).
    The story was tragically beautiful and of course, JD did a superb job as always.
    I was in tears by the end of the movie and I'm so glad to have learned about Mr. Jung's life in this manner.
    May he rest in peace now...

      I relate to that final scene also. Mine is a little more depressing. I think of the future and how I will reminisce about my lost live coming back walking and talking with me. We rekindle our love. Then I snap out of it and I am alone. It is depressing knowing that will probly be my future.

Turns out, that is absolutely true because Johnny did him justice and some, through the portrayal. Its become a cult classic and always will be. Johnny immortalized George and vice versa, through the movie. The stars aligned perfectly for this one. Bravo. Rest easy George. See ya in the next one.

If I had heard about him or read about him before his death in 1993 I don't recall it. Carmine Galante and his heroine smuggling yes. Pablo and cocaine no. What a great movie!

I'm not sure if he liked it but I've watched it many times ever since and I bought the book and I have the audiobook as well. It's an amazing story. I think George has always been a good guy just like all of us who grew up with a lot of Counter Culture influences. But I don't think George is a product of the counterculture on. I think George is a product of the Zeitgeist that existed back then and maybe still exist today once we get these Millennials off their asses

    Still Depp best role

  • @narcissistictendencies6705

    I'm so glad they went with Johnny Depp because he did it justice. However, it would have been interesting to see Sean Penn do the role. Penn has that bad boy lock your daughters up kind of vibe. Val is pretty good too but Penn is a beast!
