Originally wanted to give it four stars, but then decided to give it five stars, and gave the extra one to Al Pacino. His passionate and intense performance holds up the narrative of the entire film. The charm of gangster movies lies in the fact that they describe a group of special social groups who challenge life unscrupulously and fearlessly, and have the courage and courage to change the color of the world, so their success is particularly exciting. However, these people are often domineering, cruel and bloody. After success, it is difficult to curb their inner greed and desire. They even repeatedly break through the bottom line of human nature, fall into a situation of betrayal and separation, and finally quit the stage. Therefore, their failures always make people sigh. Especially when you know failure is inevitable. Gangster movies, by their very nature, are alternative tragedies. The absurdity of fate and the joys and sorrows of the characters deeply attract the audience. "Scarface" is inferior to "The Godfather" and "Once Upon a Time in America," but with its smooth narrative and lively performances, it's still a top-notch gangster movie. In the modern age where gangster movies are gradually declining, revisiting this classic of the 1980s is really unique.

    I want to reflect. I have only seen the remake of De Palma until now. Although I have seen this version of Hawkes before, I am still very fascinated by this version. De Palma + Oliver Stone The golden combination of, coupled with AL passionate interpretation and Pfeiffer’s full back-to-back appearance, what can I do for you! The speech at the restaurant was both an exposing and satirizing the hypocrisy of the world, with a sad but familiar ending. "You just know how to hide, how to lie"
