Traffic

ALL the actors are here WHAT +The filters are strong with this one. It’s💙&💛lol. (& sometimes not?) But this movie taught me so much. I🫶how they show this from all sides w/so many perspectives. I also🫶how they didn’t leave one clear solution in the face of an impossible situation.

In lieu of Steven Soderbergh’s new film, ‘Black Bag’ in theaters this weekend I decided to do a rewatch of Traffic. It holds up 25 years later. Incredible film, acting, writing, and editing is all superb! Benicio & Cheadle are standouts in this. 👏🏼

Beautiful and tragic

Beautiful and tragic

Three solid stories that came together in the end, but I will admit I spent the majority of the movie feeling like I was watching three different films at once.

Ah, nothing like the color grading of the 00’s.
A complex and interwoven story exploring different aspects of the drug war. It manages to show the drug trade on every level. It flows regardless of enforcement, and arrests don’t reduce demand. There is no simple solution.
