Los Angeles DUI Attorney BlogA Look at DUI in Pop Culture (Part 2)
Continuing our examination of DUI as reflected in popular culture and media, let’s shift our focus from music and television to the film industry.

While the depiction of DUI on TV drastically changed in the 1980s, and while DUI in popular music has been both consistent and prolific, the film industry perhaps falls somewhere in the middle of these extremes. While the movies certainly don’t shy away from this topic, neither does the industry as a whole appear to carry any particular agenda—which makes an examination of this medium a bit more complex. Perhaps the best approach is to look at a few specific examples of DUI in films—both classic and modern—to see what we can learn.
