      Success as well, failure as well

      I watched the movie in two parts. First of all, there was not enough time. At the same time, I also felt that the rhythm of the movie was a little rough, and the scenes were rendered too much. I wanted to express the multi-faceted Tony. Unfortunately, the whole film did not have the G-spot that a commercial film should have, except for the point at the end. Bloody, shocking, as if revisiting the classic Hong Kong film gun battle scene, now think about it, those Hong Kong-style scenes have...

      Al Pacino classic gangster masterpiece

      The Cuban refugee young Tony (Al Pacino Al Pacino ornaments) escaped to Miami, the United States, and became a typical American street gangster who is not afraid of the sky and the ground. Tony worked under a local drug lord. He was quickly appreciated because he was ruthless, bold and careful, and helped the boss to complete several tasks very well. He became the first right-hand man of the drug lord. However, Tony was not satisfied with this. He first took a big order from the Venezuelan drug...

      The shattering of the immigrant American dream, the reappearance of the deranged Godfather

      DePalma is known as the "Hitchcock of modern America", a master of horror. "Scarface" is his adaptation of the old film of the same name, and it is also one of the few successful adaptations.

      As a classic film in the old Hollywood period, this film of course contains many eye-catching elements: gunfights, gangsters, drugs. As a well-known film, it reflects the economic state of the times and expresses the spiritual state of society.

      With the story of the growth of a Cuban...

      "My Way"--To the Men Who Pacino Played



      The mighty Tony Montana's eyes dimmed for a minute, then woken up by a rush of gunfire.

      When Tony found out that his cherished sister had come to the bar where he used to hang out and was fooling around with the punks in the men's room, the Cuban beast was downright furious, and he rushed into the toilet and gave his sister a hard lesson. . Then the camera returns to the bar lobby,...

      Pacino's Tucao

      In this film, Al Pacino's true performance is full of arrogance. His roar, cold blood, and single-mindedness are all presented in a three-dimensional manner. It's just the last scene of death that I want to complain and endure so much. Bullet, can you still stand and roar? A person can kill dozens of enemies without taking a position or looking for a bunker, only to be shot twice in non-vital areas? I can't help but think of the domestic anti-Japanese war movie, the scene where the...

      77/100: Al Pacino really fits a role like Tony Montana, wild, neurotic, and explosive like gunpowder. Two "The world is yours" in the film can be regarded as the point of the pen. Well, even so, the movie itself is actually quite...

      3.8 The screenwriter is Oliver Stone... Palma is good at using less in this, but the shots are really full of tension. What I like most is the scene where I took over the first order, the Colombians met in the small hotel, and went to pick up Avella to leave the scene in the middle. Actually, it was a little delayed from the middle, but fortunately, the music was just right everywhere.. Pa Sino's sticky accent and eyes are really...

      A Cuban gangster turned into a drug tycoon in Miami. The lack of fatherly love in his childhood and the encounters in the process of making a fortune made him distrust all the people around him, and brought their lives into a dead end. Paranoid protection of his sister, constant complaints to his wife, full of guns and monitors in life, in the end he didn't kill the child, which may be the best ending for him, the desire has no...

    Evaluation action

    In "Scarface", Al Pacino's violent and externalized exaggerated performance appropriately shows the inner world of the characters. The film is a milestone in De Palma's creative career as a remake As a tribute to the work, De Palma’s violent horror techniques are a bit too much. The scale of violence makes the film fall into a controversy, but he is still a masterpiece with immortal influence. The indescribable passionate performance...
