Review of Tell Your Children (1938) by Mike D — 06 Jul 2008
I bought the dvd of Reefer Madness a couple years ago but haven't watched it until now. This is a typical black and white movie from the 30's from what I understand (I don't watch too much old stuff).
The plot involves a group of teens who are forced into using marijuana by some very well dressed pushers. Their lives are destroyed; people are killed and others are jailed.
What bullshit! Not that I know anything about drugs, but from what I have read, this shit don't happen. Jazz music? Murder? Fighting? Whatever. I prefer to be scolded from commercials, not completely unrealistic movies.
Some say this was intended to be somewhat of a mockumentary. Others say it is straight propaganda. I don't know the real story. It is a good debate though.
