Scarface

Once again, I was convinced by Al Pacino's acting skills. Tony's anger, madness, loneliness, and paranoia were all highlighted. This is also a gangster film that I think is particularly good. Tony in the movie It is not difficult to see that it is a paranoid person (I want to do this, I have to do it, I am better than him, I have to tell him that I am better than him) such a paranoid person, and people like him are especially easy to achieve Purpose, as in the movie, he quickly cornered the drug market. Money, houses, women, cars all came, yes, as he said when he was working in a restaurant, the world must belong to him, but did he win? The last thing the wife said to him at the fine dining restaurant, we didn't win, we lost! I'm leaving you! It can also be clearly seen that only Tony cannot see reality. Tony will only set a goal for himself, and he doesn't know what to do after he really achieves this goal. Just like a wife, when he first sees her, he must get her. This is also a goal, and Tony has been here all the time. One by one, he lost himself in the goals and began to lose his trust in the people around him. It also paved the way for the end of his own tragedy. The younger sister in the movie has always been the most important thing for Tony to protect. In his eyes, the sister is the only one in his eyes. A symbol of purity and beauty, excessive protection and doting, prompting his sister to rebel step by step, but he may not be able to feel that it was not someone else who caused his sister to become chaotic, but Tony himself, the director of the final shootout. Blair De Palma's shot is really flamboyant, it can arouse strong male hormones, and it can also make the audience fall in love with Tony's paranoid psychopathic character. In the end, the movie perfectly interprets the concept of real gangsters who come out and have to pay them back sooner or later. In the end, Tony sinks into the water. Maybe this is the last madness of a lunatic.
