		Jung's story is presented in the popular current medicalization mode, and he is shown to be torn between his failed businessman father (Ray Liotta) and his status-seeking mother (a miscast Rachel Griffiths), a shrew torn from an Oliver Stone script.
		The only problem is that Jung the real person as recounted in Porter's book is not as nice a guy as the movie Jung, who is presented as a sentimental and loyal serial monogamist to the women in his life.
		Jung is, it should be needless to say, less attractive as himself than he is in the person of Johnny Depp.

		George Jung is a strangely gentle and personable man and to see him being interviewed in prison one can't help wondering how such a seemingly 'nice guy' could be responsible for such terrible criminal activity.

	Blow DVD review on AudioRevolution.com
		George (Johnny Depp) introduces himself to us via voiceover, then proceeds to show us his childhood in suburban Massachusetts, with his adored working-class father (Ray Liotta) constantly caving in before his cold, angry mother (Rachel Griffiths).
		When George forces himself to avoid much visible reaction to seeing a man shot in front of him, Depp’s naturalism and the quiet of the ensuing scene tend to backfire a bit.
		George does acquire a fabulous house for awhile, but the place never takes on a personality of its own – it is just a backdrop, not something either lusted after before it’s obtained or greatly missed once it’s lost (by then, George has bigger things to worry about).

		In this free-spirited atmosphere, where pot is in, George hooks up with a lovely stewardess named Barbara (Franka Potente) and she hooks him up with the one supplying the pot to the kids on the beach, the homosexual hairdresser Derek Foreal (Reubens).
		George's parents are disappointed in him and not impressed with his Florida mansion or his many luxury sports cars.
		George is too sweet for this business and he keeps trusting the wrong people, as he runs into one betrayal after another and his life goes downhill.

		George ended up becoming the man who introduced cocaine to America, setting off a chain reaction that can still be felt today.
		Jung is due to be released from prison in 2015, but after being busted by his own friends, there isn't a man, woman, or child in the world who doesn't know the pain he caused so many people just by going for what he thought to be the American Dream.
		Blow, of course, is based upon the life and times of George Jung, chronicling his beginnings as the only child in a family where his mother (Rachel Griffiths) could never appreciate how hard his dad (Ray Liotta) worked throughout his career as a successful drug dealer.
