breakthrough

I always like to watch these movies in Vietnam, Cuba, and Myanmar. Although Scarface only mentioned Cuba at the beginning, I am still obsessed with the background. This movie is also very long, even more than 170 minutes. After watching it, I feel that the power of this ink is very similar to Oliver. Stone, ink, but the ink is interesting. After watching the tidbits and interviews with the director, it turned out that Oliver Stone wrote the screenplay, and it was when he was the most unwilling, almost bankrupt and turned into box-office poison, the script adapted under depression, after the revision, it was very difficult. I wanted to direct it in person, but the producer and management didn’t dare to give it to him. Instead, I found a director who was very appealing at the box office-----you know, how risky it is to remake old movies, and It is still such a classic black and white film that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is so difficult to break through. Its difficulty is about the same as the remake of the 83rd edition of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

However, they still made a breakthrough. I have not seen the old version of Scarface. I only watched a few short paragraphs in the sidebar. It is really classic. There is a scene of picking up girls, and it is a classic that many movies have imitated. For the dialogue, Oliver Stewart made reservations:

Female: "He is your boss"
Male: "I am only interested in you now"

I think AL Pacino was already very proficient in acting when he was young. , And, just because of the length and the vigorous scenes, it is already a big breakthrough.

Behind every boss, there is an extraordinary woman who looks like a soft meal, but she knows everything. Such a woman is the most terrifying. In "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​we see Maxwell's photo How skillfully the coquettish beauty dealt with their brothers, and how safely and gracefully she lived to the end. The rest of the people all rushed to the street in a muddled manner, and she was still alive sober and clear, and she was alive to tell future generations the vigorous brotherhood and the love story of love.

The same goes for this movie. Scarface robbed the boss's woman, and the boss's woman later left him mercilessly, allowing him to pounce on his luxurious home full of gunshots.

American movies often deliberately or unintentionally reflect on the "American Dream" (an American dream) that their nation is proud of. It looks very beautiful and reasonable to outsiders. They have been repeatedly introspected by Fitzgerald. De’s novels and many Hollywood movies are reflecting on this issue: a man who has become a tycoon by his own efforts, a man who has become the mainstream of society with his own wisdom, and a man who has realized the legendary American dream. , He, will he be happy? Should I get happiness?

We have already seen the fact that the sad Gatsby who could not be confident his whole life is unfortunate, the great citizen Kane, who is a drunken fan, lives more empty and lonely, and when it comes to the Cuban smuggler Scarface, it is even worse. Even the end of life can not be obtained.

This kind of self-reflection and self-deprecating will be very popular every time, and it makes people feel sorrowful, but never an American will clamor that their values ​​have been challenged. In the face of powerful destiny and complex human nature, people should always remain humble and low-key. And raise the importance of self-deprecating spirit to the level of introspection!
