Reflection To The Movie Blow
"Sometimes your flush , and sometimes your bust, and when your up its never as good as it seems, and when your down you never think your gonna be up again" Ray Liota's character couldn't of summed the movie BLOW any better that this. After watching this movie I have noticed many themes, and instances that applied to myself, and really fully understood why I was to write this paper for judicial affairs.

I as well gave in to the pressure, and that's when I began smoking Marijuana. Finally I noticed though the movie didn't come right out and say it, but the idea that Marijuana is a gateway drug. In George's case not only was it a gateway drug for using, but for trafficking as well.
Many emotions were going through my head while viewing this movie. Especially when they showed the characters "toking up". It just made me think back to when I'm stoned and how relaxing it is. Also they made trying cocaine seem like it's the God of all drugs, and quite honestly after watching it, one might be tempted to go out and try it, because of the way it...
