Ted Demme: George Jung

In addition to that, Demme felt it was not necessary to weigh the film down in nudity and violence --only including two scenes of the latter. "There were only two parts of his life that had violence in them that I thought was worth telling....I didn't think it was about that." Hoping that the country's current positive reaction to "Traffic" and its own critical and financial success will rub off onto "Blow," Demme ... admitted the nation's trendy thrill of vicariously living through an anti-hero such as Jung should be appealing. but it might be fun to be in that world for two hours. Like 'Boogie Nights,' you may not wanna be a porn star, but you may wanna go check what they're like."

Demme portrays George Jung as just a blue-collar kid trying to avoid the lower-middle-class fate of his parents while trying to be a likeable businessman. And what’s not to like? He overpays his partners, he knows when he’s snorted too much, and really, he just wants enough money to makes things right with his daughter.
