    This film is the pioneer of gangster films in the early days of American sound films. It was one of the most influential crime films at that time, and it is a classic of genre films. Rare and graceful style in the early days. In terms of expression, the director uses projection and other methods to indirectly express the murder scene. Therefore, although there are a lot of murder scenes in the film, the naked visual stimulation is avoided. In the film, we can also see the factors that...

    The cornerstone of gangster movies, you can see many elements of later gangster movies. The whistle blowing at the beginning is good, and it should be learned from "M is the Murderer". The main characters have their own characteristics, Tony is ruthless and bold, the thug is cool, and the secretary behind the ear is loyal and natural. After so many years, the gun problem has never been...

    It's the second time to watch it after many years. The plot is quite rich, the rise and fall of gangsters, betrayal and revenge, brothers against each other, children's hatred, family resentment, and vague incest elements. The opening long shot is beautiful, which shouldn't be common in gangster films at the time. Throughout the article, several shootings that the male protagonist directly participated in were all completed through editing to show the scenes of violence that were invisible to...

    The originator of gangster movies. Because it is a black and white film, the street violence is like a documentary, the gunfire is sharper and harsher, and the picture is more violent and more realistic without...

    A pioneering gangster movie, certain details, such as Maconte whistling while killing people and Rinaldo fiddling with coins at all times, become the specific language of such...

    I finally saw the source of George Rafter laughing at a gangster boy who was bored playing coin toss in [Passionate]. In [Scarface], he really used his life to play coin toss. It's awesome, it seems a little rough now. The original Tony's death was quite frustrating, and the remake version was finally cool after N...

    I have added a short comment before, but it was deleted by the damselfly inexplicably. It is worthy of being the pioneering classic of gangster crime films. It is very realistic. The most impressive are the two subordinates of Scarface, one is always calm tossing coins, the other is stupid but...

    Coppola liked it so much that he made "Scarface" into "The Godfather." And then Al Pacino's version of "Scarface" is a tribute. As the pioneering work of the gangster, Hawks established a new type of film. It is worth mentioning that there are two versions of the ending of Scarface. One is shot and the other is...

    This is the pioneer of gangster movies, not the originator of gangster movies. Although there are many versions of the originator, I personally prefer "Underworld" (Underworld, 1927). Why pioneer. It brought the intuitive Gang War to the screen, the speeding car chase, the M1921's hail of bullets, etc. It was absolutely shocking in the era when the shooting methods were restricted, especially Saint Valentine's Day massacre can think of using light and shadow. It is really ahead of time....
