You think he got fame in the underworld for killing Carlito or did nobody give a shit who he was since that was literally the only thing his petty ass ever did of note?

Yeah, I like Carlito's Way but it's still kinda just a straightforward gangster movie, though a very good one. Body Double on the other hand is weird and mysterious.
It's based on a series of books written by a Puerto Rican judge who worked criminal courts in NYC for like 40 years
The judge was from a PR ghetto and was basically the only kid from his neighborhood who didn't become a drug dealer, instead he spent his professional life jailing PR's just like him
The Al Pacino character is the judge's self insert fantasy character where instead of going to law school he becomes the coolest, most successful drug dealer in NYC
The books are actually good, if somewhat more comic book tier than the movie, but they are all about PR culture and machismo, the PR angle is completely inseparable from the character and story
>>Look what I got! I mean look at me! You got everything, man! Come on! Look what I got to fricking go around with, fricking diapers! I shit my pants everyday! I can't walk, I can't hump... you know? Go ahead and kill me, you wienerSUCKER!

I watched the trailer about this and I've heard nothing but greatness about this movie but for some reason it just doesn't look interesting to me. Is really as good as people say it is? Is it worth watching?
It's a romantic reformed gangster who gets sucked back into it movie. It's great. Great scenes, great writing, great acting. Great plot. It has it all.
mane, it's Death Valley out here mane... you know me, I'll take to the streets with any of these motherfrickers man, but these new kids now days, they got no respect for human life. >>They shotgun you just to see you fly in the air.
It's shits the bed after Gary Sinise is revealed to be the bad guy. Fricking great opening though. And yeah, I'm aware it's because for whatever reason Brian and the writer had to change the giant storm surge bit that destroyed Atlantic City that was originally the ending. Also, Ryuichi Sakamoto's score was fricking GOAT. RIP Ryu ;___;
Gary Sinise is not the problem though. The script is the problem.
Nicholas Cage goes a bit overboard but...that's why Nicholas Cage was cast i guess.
Fricking Sakamoto's score gives me the chills and makes it kino music even though it's not exactly a kino film.
>Sorry boys, all the stitches in the world can't sew me together again. Lay down... lay down. Gonna stretch me out in Fernandez funeral home on hun and ninth street. Always knew I'd make a stop there, but a lot later than a whole gang of people thought. Last of the Mo-Ricans, well maybe not the last. Gail's gonna be a good mom. New improved Carlito Brigante. Hope she uses the money to get out. No room in this city for big hearts like us... Sorry baby, I tried the best I could. Honest. Can't come with me on this trip loaf. Getting the shakes now, Last call for drinks, Bars closing down... Sun's out... Where are we going for breakfast, don't wanna go far.. Rough night.. Tired baby... Tired...
HOLY KINO.
I love this monologue, it's so sincere and filled with the humanity that carlito has discovered so late in life, he just accepts his faith. more than anything he's in peace with himself
kino beyond calculation indeed
I really loved Dressed to kill. I think it's one of his best, if not the best.
The Untouchables is a classic, but it feels a bit too classic for De Palma.
Carlito's way is awesome, but it feels a bit overdone and predictable, at the time that he did it.
I like Snake eyes too, and most of the famous ones.
I'd like to mention The Black Dahlia, which could have been so much better, but the reveal of who murdered the girl is a great scene.
Benny Blanco from the Bronx
Literally who?
You think he got fame in the underworld for killing Carlito or did nobody give a shit who he was since that was literally the only thing his petty ass ever did of note?
I prefer Mouse Hunt. This movie is pretentious shit.
It's just a gangster film. What did I miss?
The israeliteiest israelite to ever israelite onscreen
why did they copy the ken rosenberg character from vice city
>I poke my head out of the gutter for one freakin' second and fate shovels shit in my face!
Go get some sleep.
>ah I'm gonna need some new pants
Average Cinemaphile poster
This is true of every movie ever made that isn't Mouse Hunt.
My favourite Brian De Palma kino is Rango
That’s BestGore Verbinski
>Carlitos way
>This movie is pretentious shit
bewilderedveggietales.webm
I like Carrie and The Untouchables more.
Based
Lesser movies. Blow Out is better
Blow out can blow me, it's mid as shit

>all this cope
It's inferior to scarface and CW in every way, which are flawless movies
>mid
Zoomposting.
Honestly, that shit makes me wonder what the frick I even bother with this board anymore.
For me it's Body Double
Yeah, I like Carlito's Way but it's still kinda just a straightforward gangster movie, though a very good one. Body Double on the other hand is weird and mysterious.
Why did it have to have the Puerto Rican slant to it? It was just goofy
>Pacino plays a Puerto Rican drug lord
>"Why did it have to have the Puerto Rican slant"

i found this movie so fricking cringe, obvious and boring
Are these bot posts? It's not even the kind of movie one could hate this much. It would be average at worst.
Absolute moron
It's not more obvious than Scarface.
Phantom of the paradise chads...we here.
word
Questo.
Anyone else like Passion (2012)?
The acting/dialogue seems kind of off in a way that I like for some reason.
>tfw your dick don't work mane
>>Look what I got! I mean look at me! You got everything, man! Come on! Look what I got to fricking go around with, fricking diapers! I shit my pants everyday! I can't walk, I can't hump... you know? Go ahead and kill me, you wienerSUCKER!
YOU CAWKSAKRR !!
Carlito's death is Steffi's fault when you think about it
It's shit because DePalma made the dumb decision to show the end at the beginning and dissipating any real tension!!!FACT!!!
I watched the trailer about this and I've heard nothing but greatness about this movie but for some reason it just doesn't look interesting to me. Is really as good as people say it is? Is it worth watching?
it's a 3 out of 5, some good moments but not good enough to justify being 2h30m
It's a romantic reformed gangster who gets sucked back into it movie. It's great. Great scenes, great writing, great acting. Great plot. It has it all.
it was ok
Why the poster advertises Sean Penn when Pachinko is the main character?
Penn was the current hot celebrity at the time.
Look at the top of the poster
mane, it's Death Valley out here mane... you know me, I'll take to the streets with any of these motherfrickers man, but these new kids now days, they got no respect for human life.
>>They shotgun you just to see you fly in the air.
-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?
-vous coucher avec moi?
Femme Fatale is a pretty good movie
>when you make a shit movie, just stick lesbian shit to make the coombrains give a shit
Way too many such cases.
It's shit
One of the worst movies from an established director I've ever seen. Main actress can't act ffs
For me it's Snake Eyes. I think it's the best conspiracy movie.
It's shits the bed after Gary Sinise is revealed to be the bad guy. Fricking great opening though. And yeah, I'm aware it's because for whatever reason Brian and the writer had to change the giant storm surge bit that destroyed Atlantic City that was originally the ending. Also, Ryuichi Sakamoto's score was fricking GOAT. RIP Ryu ;___;
Snake Eyes really deflates after that reveal, which is tragic since it's one of Cage's best "wacky" performances. He almost saves the movie, almost
Gary Sinise is not the problem though. The script is the problem.
Nicholas Cage goes a bit overboard but...that's why Nicholas Cage was cast i guess.
Fricking Sakamoto's score gives me the chills and makes it kino music even though it's not exactly a kino film.

kino beyond calculation indeed
>first scene is spoiler
hack director
That would be Blow Out.
donnie brasco is the superior 90s al pacino mobster picture.
I fricking love this man, its so sad the last batch of goat directors getting old. But at least they'll leave with Kinos that will live om forever
Brain De Palma is one of the greatest directors of all time
yes
the ending always gets me
No room in this city for big hearts like hers.
🙁
>okay… I’m reloaded
this trick was embarrasingly bad
first i saw it, I wasnt sure if this was supposed to be a comedy scetch
Why couldn’t he make a good movie post 2000?
Absolute kino. The scene with Carlito marching out of his office wide-eyed while Lady Marmrlade plays in the background is peak Pachinko.
That would be Cruising.
that was friedkin
I'm more of a blowout guy
I really loved Dressed to kill. I think it's one of his best, if not the best.
The Untouchables is a classic, but it feels a bit too classic for De Palma.

TOP KEK!!! HELL NO!!! Scarface is way superior.
Shut up, reddit
Doesn't even get in the chart.
