A film recommended by a friend, when my friend said the word across from me, I heard it as "BLUE". "BLOW" is the name of the movie starring Johnny Depp. I've seen so many movies, especially "Captain," but I haven't seen or even heard of this one. As the word BLOW should be very common, I have no impression.
The plot is very simple, and the filming is also very simple, almost even a character documentary. The reason is that the protagonist here does not look like a drug lord who controls 85% of the market. There are no gangs, no conspiracies, no gun battles, and no big scenes. . . There are almost no plots that are usually seen in other drug-trafficking films. The only thing he has done in his life is drug trafficking, for which he has been a fugitive twice and served three times in prison. The movie shows these things one by one in chronological order.
His teenage life was unhappy. He loved his father who worked hard and would inevitably go bankrupt. Because of this, his selfish mother ran away from home again and again and was helpless. He said he didn't know why his father would accept him again and again. Mother, I think he should never accept it again. When he was an adult, he didn't do much work. Seeing that there was a market for drugs and there happened to be a way, he easily started selling drugs, and the method was simple and profitable. Even being seized is a trivial matter, he said in court: "I just crossed a line with a plant that happened to be very popular, I satisfied them, I should be a hero (probably so) )." Faced with such an unscrupulous judge, he said ironically: "Don't forget that the plants you bring are drugs, and the boundaries you cross are borders." He didn't think it was a crime, he just wanted to make a quick buck. If the girlfriend who loves him is not terminally ill, maybe his life will be much better in the future. After all, when he was ignorant, God gave him at least one chance to choose the right one. He abandoned bail and became a fugitive. When his girlfriend came home after her death, his mother called the police and he was jailed for the first time.
When he came out of prison, his level of drug trafficking was upgraded from a college student to a postdoctoral fellow. Who made his cellmate a more senior drug dealer? In an instant, I went back to my old business, and it was easier to make money than before. In a blink of an eye, there was a box and a box, and there was no need to pile it in the house, and there was no need to count the amount of money with a scale. He also married a beautiful woman as his wife, even if she was his fiancee. Everything looks like a prosperous fire, big houses, luxury cars, and never-ending party revelry, all of which come to an abrupt end when he is betrayed and kicked out by his friends. He also admitted his failure, not only quit drugs but also quit drinking. At this time, he, in his 40s, had saved tens of millions of dollars, devoted himself to accompanying his daughter, and his life looked not bad. Before he fully understood, God gave him a second chance. But he has to pay the price for his choice in the end. The profit-seeking friend kicks him out, and the beautiful wife who is unwilling to be lonely attracts the police. What evidence should he have given before he was released on bail, the condition is that his wife and daughter are safe, and the price is the confiscation of money. He once again abandoned his bail and became a fugitive. He couldn't bear his bankrupt wife to identify him in front of the police, and he was jailed for the second time.
When he was released from prison again, he had nothing, his hair was messy and his belly was messy. At this time, his only hope was to meet the request of his favorite daughter and go to California together. But he had no money, so he easily decided to go back to his old business, saying it was the last time, it seemed like the only thing he would do, even though his father once said that he would be successful in everything, so I don't understand why he only does Drug trafficking. Everything seemed to be going well, but in the end it was a joint effort by friends and the government, and he was jailed for the third time. No one visits him in prison, and the scene where the lawyer comes to let him record the final goodbye to his seriously ill father is all the more poignant. He was getting old in prison, and finally one day his daughter came to see him. They hugged, held hands and walked and talked together. When the shadows disappeared, only he was left on the screen to realize that the only warm moment was him. The fantasy, the screen full of desolation blows.
The name BLOW is the exact opposite of the straightforward truth of the film, full of nothingness. The wind is invisible and dissipates without a shadow. Many people say that the misfortune of the protagonist comes from the betrayal of the closest, mother, wife, and long-time old friend. But I think these are exactly the results, and the reason should be that the protagonist has no sense of security since he was a child. No matter how hard his father tries, he can't change the ending of bankruptcy. Because of the lack of life, the mother quarrelled endlessly and ran away from home, so the protagonist thinks that money The most important thing, as long as the money comes quickly, what is drug trafficking, maybe in his heart he is proud that he can make money. He ignored that the father who loved him never cared whether he had money or not. The daughter he loved most needed his company. He simply fixed the "anchor" of his life on money, and his life was doomed to get out of control. When he realized that what he cared about was the father and the daughter, it was too late. He missed the rest of his father's life, and he also missed the daughter's life.
It is not always possible to turn back to the shore, because not always know where the shore is. BLOW, just dissipates like the wind.
Friends say that this is the number one movie in his viewing experience, and every time he sees the scene that the protagonist and his daughter miss in the movie, he will cry. I do not have. In fact, after writing this, you still don't understand where your friend's point is? The first time he watched this movie was when he was in his teens, and there was no husband and wife feeling, no father-daughter love, maybe he was alone in a foreign country at that time, looking around the lonely leaves, the scenery that he had or will have can't match him. Lonely all the time.
