Blow

Just watched blow and I immediately had two related but conflicting feelings. First, I enjoyed the movie. I left feeling a bit melancholy because the movie had succeeded in making me identify with the main character, George Jung. He comes across as a relatively good person who gets caught up over his head and basically fails over and over. A lovable loser if you will. But then again, he's a drug dealer. And not just any small time drug dealer, but a massive scale drug dealer. You might say that the two drugs that he seemed to deal in were the most harmless of illegal drugs, but the seedy side of the drug world barely seemed to grace the movie. Maybe he never had to get his hands dirty, but that seems to pushing the believability a bit when it's a bit stretched to begin with.
