The movie has a strong hippie flavor and strong California colors. This is not an educational film, not just telling people the dangers of drugs like a Chinese film, it's that simple. It leads people into America in the 1960s, into the hearts of big drug lords. He is one of the greatest businessmen in American history. His fortune is the most classic interpretation of the "American Dream" that people pass on by word of mouth. He was the first person to import cocaine from Colombia to the United States. Eighty-five percent of the cocaine market, his life from a blue-collar to a rich man and finally a prisoner, he has influenced the lives of a whole generation of Americans, and he is a generation of American drug lords - George Jung.
The American spirit of the 60s was rebellious, the culture of the 60s was rebellious, and life in the 60s was rebellious. In the West in the 1960s, a considerable number of young people despised tradition, abandoned morality, and consciously distanced themselves from mainstream society, living only for freedom and pleasure with a unique way of life that cannot be tolerated in mainstream society. It is characterized by their search for a non-materialistic way of life, a preference for fancy clothes, and often hallucinogenic narcotics or marijuana. It can be said that it was this cultural background that influenced George Jung.
The first half of the film is dark orange, and in California they merge with the sea and enjoy the pleasure of marijuana. Although George is repeatedly imprisoned But this did not affect his attitude towards life. Until the birth of his daughter, he gave her daughter abstinence from smoking and drinking. She was his baby, but her nature was hard to change. His wife was even more unrestrained. He was imprisoned in the second place, the policy changed and all property belonged to the government. His wife divorced him, his daughter hated him, and he had nothing. Because he was released on bail pending trial, but he escaped, he wanted to atone for his daughter. And he planned to quit drugs and go to California with his daughter, but his friend's betrayal made him re-captured and sentenced to life imprisonment. In the eyes of his daughter, he established the biggest betrayal. In prison, he began to reflect on himself, thinking about his childhood, and thinking of all the money he had. The days when there is no place to put it, think of those days like a dream, a dream, everything is empty. Now he wants nothing but family.
Johnny Depp perfectly interprets the big drug lord, he himself has a strong hippie Temperament, there is no more suitable candidate than him, but the attitude of the game life is unpretentious

    He is a drug dealer, not a gangster, not a gangster, he doesn't kill people and set fires, he only transports drugs. Making money is the only purpose. His wife, who loves Qian Ruming, actually spurned him because he was a drug dealer, and even called the police to arrest him, because his friend Qian betrayed him and his wife abandoned him. Only his daughter hated him and made him feel like a failure. The relationship between George and his father, his love for his daughter is very touching, Depp is really suitable for long hair, and he looks handsome from beginning to end

    When you see the title of the film, you think it will be action, gunfights, violence, and bloodshed, but no, you see everything a man does for his family and his loved ones, because he has love in his heart. Johnny Depp doesn't look like Captain Jack
