	Blow Out - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blow Out is a 1981 thriller film, written and directed by Brian De Palma.
		The film stars John Travolta as Jack Terry, a movie sound effects technician from Philadelphia who, while recording sounds for a low-budget horror film, accidentally captures audio evidence of the possible assassination of the Pennsylvania governor who was planning to run for President.
		Quentin Tarantino has consistently praised the movie, and listed it as one of his favorite three films, along with Rio Bravo and Taxi Driver (although Tarantino had apparently changed his mind in 2002, when he left it out of his top-ten list for the Sight and Sound poll of the best films of all time).

	Adventures in CyberSound: A History of Motion Pictures
		Experiments with color films began as early as 1906, and color was occasionally used in subsequent motion pictures as a novelty, but most of the processes that were developed, including early two-color Technicolor, were disappointing and failed to generate enthusiasm on the part of the public.
		Film festivals began to be held throughout the world, displaying the work of directors whose films had never been shown outside their own countries before the 1950s.
		His film Weekend (1968) is a bitter study of modern life, in which the victims of an automobile accident wander the highways, discussing the nature of their lives with literary and cinematic figures who appear mysteriously to connect the past, present, and future.

	Top Box Office Movies - Blow
		In opening the film with cinematic styles from the likes of past gangster master directors such as Martin Scorcese, he creates a little film that focuses itself on the life of famed cocaine dealer George Jung.
		It is safe to say that "Blow" is a well made film that contained some great performances, yet, the film suffered in terms of its wanting to satisfy all demographics of the audience.
		The film seemed to not be content with only being a 'drug movie', but it wanted to explore other realms of emotions such as love, betrayal and family.

	BLOW OUT (1981)
		Often noted as one of De Palma's most personal films, the riveting thriller BLOW OUT stands as a dead-on portrait of America at a time when forgetting painful lessons of the past had become almost a national priority.
		Karp's film of the crash, if it can be synced with Jack's tape, may help prove the existence of a gunshot.
		Jack's elaborate view of the conspiracy, the filming of the crash and targeting of witnesses all carry echoes of the JFK assassination and rampant conspiracy theories that followed (a phenomenon satirized by De Palma thirteen years earlier in GREETINGS).

	Film Review: Blow Dry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Whenever a film feels compelled to use a seemingly in-the-pink lead character's impending death as the main plot device, warning flags tend to go up, and true to that clichÃ©, Blow Dry doesn't miss a chance to pull at the heartstrings.
		To wit: when Shelly finally pulls off her wig to reveal the chemo-ravaged wisps of hair on her head to husband and son, it is supposed to be a grave dramatic moment.
		Having said that, the film is not without its pleasures, most of which derive from the casting.

	Film Reviews on CLUAS - Blow
		The film showcases some bright, brash and downright hideous fashion faux pas spanning the candy-coloured sixties, dandy seventies and tracksuited eighties.
		"Blow" is adapted from a book by Bruce Porter in which Jung, with equal parts bias, regret, and rose-tinted glasses, recounts his life-story.
		If fat people doing ordinary things in films make you laugh simply because they are fat and gay men in films make you laugh because they are camp, then you will like this carefree and really very tired portion of "Blow".

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Blow Up (1966)
		Blow Up defies expectations, including those it seems to create itself, and demands to be taken on its own terms.
		Blow Up presents us with only one perspective, and the story, what there is of a story, is his engagement in his craft, which, by nature, is to capture and preserve a view of reality.
		Blow Up is considered one of the defining films of the 1960s, a statement that may be technically accurate although misleading.

	Film Review: "Blow" - Daily Nexus Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Such is the journey of "Blow," the latest film that tries to dissect the drug crisis in epic scope as an examination of America itself.
		And yet it is impossible to watch "Blow" without sensing countless moments of dŽjˆ vu about "Boogie Nights" and "Scarface." Far less violent and more sentimental then these two celebrated underworld chronicles of a rags-to-riches story, in the end not a whole lot separates Johnny Depp's character from Mark Wahlberg's or Al Pacino's.
		Overall, "Blow" is a very fun film to watch until the rather sad ending (of course, Hollywood has to say that drugs are bad at some point).

	Antonioni's Blow Up And The Chiasmus Of Memory
		The spectator perceives the film viewing (i.e., is directed to a noematic object that is the filmic apparatus itself), while the film views itself viewing (i.e., it self-reflexively directs the look back on itself as a noetic viewing).
		Later in the film, when Thomas enlarges the photographs and begins to interpret them semiotically, what we see seems to be less important than the fact that it is a frozen, static representational image, a viewed view that opens up duration as a hermeneutic ally.
		In this section of the film, intentional interest passes from the objective perception of the park to the photographs of the park, from a noetic representation produced by Antonioni’s camera to a representation of a representation mediated and produced by Thomas’s camera and enlarger.

	Blow film review
		Blow's director Ted Demme said that after hearing the story of George Jung, he considered it a challenge to show the notorious drug dealer in a sympathetic light.
		For the latter stages of the film Depp waddles around like a duck with a hernia as his padded girth combines with a series of bad wigs to create a cartoon figure.
		Initially Blow showed promise, but by the end, as the drama made way for melodrama and the once plausible Jung had metamorhphosised into a clown, all semblance of credulity had gone with it.

	BBC - Films -article article - Argento's "Blow-Up"
		In that film David Hemmings stars as a playboy photographer who realises that he's the witness to a murder.
		In the latter film the viewer is left in a passive role, observing the uncovering of a question whereas in "Deep Red" Argento seeks to involve the audience in trying to solve the question posed.
		As such he creates a far more satisfying and thrilling film, one that tackles the natural demand of the audience to know the reason behind the principal event of the movie.

	Blow (2001): Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz, Jordi Molla, Rachel Griffiths - PopMatters Film Review
		Blow is based on the true story of an "American kid," George Jung (Johnny Depp), who grows up to be the biggest cocaine importer of the 1970s and '80s.
		The film examines that brief era when coke was glamorous, the drug scene at Studio 54 was hip, and crack had not yet ripped the inner cities apart.
		For much of the film, George is blind to the costs of his high life.

		Well directed by the late Ted Demme, the film is compelling and absorbing as it recounts George Jung's incredible odyssey in the drug trade, tracking the rise of the cocaine industry in the United States, attendant with all its violence.
		Based on a true story, Blow tells the story of George Jung, an American boy born into a middle-class family in the 70's with dreams of breaking away from the blue-collar struggle.
		At the end of the film, you are left to question the moral of the story.

		Blow Up is also a meticulous, paranoid murder mystery that has left its fingerprints on dozens of later films, from Coppola's The Conversation to the recent cult item The Usual Suspects.
		Watch the film and take your choice, but the fact that it still generates such reactions is a testament to its enduring impact.
		Finally in the film "If These Walls Could Talk 2" she played a lesbian woman (in the atmosphere around 1961 without any social acceptance), in "Howard's End" (and also in "Little Odessa") we experience Vanessa as a critically ill, death-nearing person (they didn't need to paint the face largely for this role).

	Blow (2001) - Ninth Symphony Films Review
		based upon the book, "blow: how a small-town boy made $100 million with the medellin cocaine cartel and lost it all" by bruce porter, blow is the story of george jung who is currently serving a 15 year sentence.
		By the end of the film, he looked as though he had lived through that cocaine induced lifestyle and went crazy after getting thrown in jail for a few decades.
		Back again for a repeat performance of "I can't act" is Penelope Cruz, playing Depp's wife "Mirtha." She doesn't show up until the second half of the film, but she really doesn't make that much of an impact as Depp's cocaine wracked wife.

	Blow-Up (1966)
		Antonioni's first film in English, it quickly became one of the most important films of its decade, and a milestone in liberalized attitudes toward film nudity and expressions of sexuality.
		Another indelible image emphasizing the slim line between objective reality and illusion - in the film's finale, he participates with a group of pantomiming students in white-face, tossing an invisible tennis ball to them as they play an invisible game of tennis with non-existent rackets and balls, and an audience.
		The film ends with an aerial view of Thomas standing in the middle of a grassy field in the park near the tennis court, with his camera in his hand.

		The film follows Jung from his childhood in Weymouth, Massachusetts through his early weed-dealing days in Manhattan Beach, California, and then on through his impressively lengthy career as an international cocaine dealer.
		And then we watched an amazing number of movies from the late '60s and '70s, which is my favorite time, and we studied their camera movements, their stocks, the way they lit stuff, the colors they used.
		This film was so good, because I produced it myself, and developed it, and made it with New Line, which is a smaller studio, so I was in control of a lot of stuff that I wasn't in control of for my other films.

	Film Blather: Blow
		Blow, an engrossing movie about that very corruption and far more than the average biopic, recounts the rise and fall of George Jung, the biggest American cocaine distributor in the '60s and '70s.
		Blow is, odd as this sounds, a Great Gatsby for the sex-drugs-and-rock-n'-roll era.
		Blow is well-made and entertaining, exhibiting none of the depressing, reverential passivity that often mars biopics.

	LIGHT VIEWS FILM REVIEW: BLOW (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Jung's quick ride to the top is the basis of the new film "Blow," a dry and overlong cautionary tale on the evils of drug dealing.
		The film was obviously written for a demographic that was too young to really remember what it was like.
		It's melodrama at its most convenient, and with no one too root for, all that is left is the films ability to entertain or inform.

	Blow Out Movie Rewind «
		Blow Out resides in my mind as De Palma's best work alongside 'Casualties of War', his seminal 1989 film about the Vietnam War, and 1987's 'The Untouchables' (yes, another De Palma climax at a train station).
		Blow Out's crowning glory is that it peels back the safer layers of contemporary American society within an entertaining suspense thriller, and in doing so, dares to subvert.
		In its protagonist's relentless quest for the truth, Blow Out is more often than not, a representation of an American public who have suffered their famous scandals, and would sooner not be protected from the gory details of their 'private' wars and assasinations.

		Since "Blow" was released just a few months after "Traffic," many think that this is just a rip-off of it.

		"Blow" was directed by Ted Demme (nephew of "Silence of the Lambs" director, Jonathan Demme), and he's hit or miss.

		Blow Dry is a plain and simple story about families.
		Phil (Alan Rickman on top form) and Shelley (Natasha Richardson) were once a champion hair cutting team until she ran away with their model Rachel Griffiths.
		Rickman's character in Blow Dry may be on the thin side but the brilliant tattoo (not telling where and of what) is enough to make up for this.
