Scarface


Scarface

“Say hello to my little friend!” Scarface is the story of Tony Montana (Al Pacino), a Cuban emigrant who grows into a powerful drug distributor. He starts small and down at the bottom of the business and he has to survive extreme hardships and attempts on his life in order to become a powerful cocaine trafficker. However, as Montana’s jealous enemies and his own paranoia start to lead to the downfall of his empire. Eventually people break into Tony Montana’s mansion in an attempt to assassinate him. He, however, puts up a valiant, and coked up, fight against his dozens of intruders. Despite being shot many times Montana still manages to kill many people and shouts his famous line that is stated at the beginning of this piece.

This is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen. By greatest what I really mean is masculine, the idea of doing coke, violently enforcing your policies, and shooting up anyone in your way is, to me, amazing. This movie has survived the years through its memorable quotes and detailed plot line. Also, the fact that tensions with Cuba and the drug issue have remained hot topics has kept Scarface a relevant movie. I would definitely recommend this movie for anyone who has the stomach to deal with some gruesome scenes.
