Traffic is an important film.
Nevertheless it is an important movie that will educate, shock, and enlighten viewers of drugs and their place in our world. Traffic had an amazing cast of actors who all should all be recognized for their work in bringing the world of drugs, which so often those of us who live in suburbs or who are not directly affected by drugs ignore, to vivid life. Traffic is a gritty movie that employs many different techniques to convey the imagery and the feelings of the drug world. Much of the movie had a documentary sense to it where the footage was all done with a handheld camera. As well, every time the story went back to Mexico, a yellow tinge came upon the screen that accentuated the dirt, heat and destitute of Mexico bringing together a movie that appears frightenly real.
