      Howard Hawks

      1. Streetlight close-up

      2. Gun silhouette + gunshots, then the dead man who fell to the ground, without any cost

      "Scarface" after reading the notes of Douyou's film critics

      "If anyone doesn't like Hawkes, he doesn't like movies at all." - Rohmer

      Completely proficient and highly accomplished classic, the script structure echoes, the plot is slender, and the rhythm is neat. It feels more than ten years ahead of the time, and it is no different from watching the 1942...

    Scarface quotes

    • Tony Camonte: I'm not hungry. Except for you. You got something I like.

      Poppy: Yeah. I'm nice with a lot of dressing. You work fast, don't you Tony.

    • Chief of detectives: Colorful? What color is a crawling louse? Say, listen, that's the attitude of too many morons in this country. They think these hoodlums are some sort of demigods. What do they do about a guy like Camonte? They sentimentalize, romance, make jokes about him. They had some excuse to glorify our old Western bad men. They met in the middle of the street at high noon and waited for each other to draw. But these things sneak up and shoot a guy in the back and then run away. Colorful. Did you read what happened the other day? A car full of them chasing another down the street, broad daylight. Three kiddies playing hopscotch on the sidewalk get lead poured in their little bellies. When I think what goes on in the minds of these lice, I wanna vomit.
