CIGARETTE GIRL

After watching a short movie preview in class, one might get the idea that “CIGARETTE GIRL” is just a no plot, slaughter movie. In order to get the real taste of the film, one must go see it. The whole movie mainly deals with a woman who sells cigarettes like drug dealers sell drugs now. In the year of 2035, cigarettes skyrocket to a price of fifty dollars a pack. Well in a smokers club, where cigarette girl works, sells a cigarette named VICE in which she smuggles out and sells for much lower price. After seeing her grandmother ill and later pass, cigarette girl quits all things related to smoking and rebels against those who keep on smoking. Through out the movie, a cowboy figure (Marlboro man) is seen through a hallucination. The cowboy resembles the withdrawals she is going through. Over a span of three days she changed her ways and made life a little easier for those around her losing little but gaining much more.
