You used it.

Really? That's crazy.
the movie was panned and depalma nominated for razzies for this film so i have no idea what you are talking about by finally being honest
it was considered garbage until it hit vhs and home media
Brian de Palma dindu

Why do zoomers even have opinions on things like this?
Because zoomers truly think they're special.
I never liked it. Opening scene with the Cuban refugees entering Florida makes it seem like its going to make some kind of point about something but it doesn't. It's just a dudebro action movie with no substance. When people try to compare it to Godfather, Goodfellas and Once Upon A Time In America it makes me seethe.
I've never seen the Howard Hawkes film it's based on.
That's funny because the Godfather and Goodfellas are trash. Haven't seen OUaTiA because I'm not going to sit thru 4 hours of wopslop even for Jen Cunnelly.
One Upon A Time In America is about the israeli mafia.
>I've never seen the Howard Hawkes film it's based on
It's kino of the highest order.
I'll probably try watching it tonight. I have an aversion to really old movies keeping my attention though.
>Opening scene with the Cuban refugees entering Florida makes it seem like its going to make some kind of point about something but it doesn't
make some kind of point? like what? that scene is setting the stage for the rest of the movie. castro emptied his prisons (tony was in prison in cuba) onto florida. that's the whole reason he gets to be in the USA.
That's a plot point, he meant a social issues point or whatever.
That's stupid. It's a fricking movie, it's telling a story. No one gives a shit about some social issue point.
yeah idk what that poster was going on about. movies in the 80's didn't "make points" on social issues. society wasn't on it's woke/anti-woke arc
Hollywood has literally always been pushing a woke agenda since it started.
>Hollywood has literally always been pushing a woke agenda since it started.
shut the frick up /misc/tard
>muh pee oh ell
You can seethe but It's actually true. Just because they couldn't push the hardcore troony shit back in the 50s dodesn't mean they weren't the libtards of their period
>When people try to compare it to Godfather, Goodfellas and Once Upon A Time In America it makes me seethe.
The original Scarface (1932 one) is right there among these as one of the best mafia films. It's just that 80s remake is more popular, but yeah it sucks.
I thought there was a pretty obvious point about lust for power, with the contrast between Scarface and his chad friend (don't remember the name tbh it's been a while) who is effortlessly content with his modest success and doesn't really want more. And of course there's the big irony that despite all the evil shit he does, he gets whacked for his one good act, the point being that once you get in deep in a life of crime there's no backing out or compromising.
Honestly way more straightforward and sensible themes compared to The Godfather.
Scarface is a masterpiece and probably the definitive midwit filter of modern cinema.
>inb4 some loser cries that I can't like it becasue Black folk do. Tough shit nerd, I also like cornrows on white women and big asses.
>Tough shit nerd, I also like cornrows on white women
You are a fricking Black person, get the frick off my board
Scarface is good though
It's called being patrician And I mean a chunky braid not the nasty trailer trash skinny ones.
Holy frick have a nice day. Scarface is a stone-cold classic and infinitely rewatchable and quotable. It has barely any flaws and is pure 80's SOVL that flows like butter. It's great and whatever the frick you said here doesn't matter.
This. Reddit tourists like that need to frick off. Always with the revisionism and homosexualry.
>40 years ago
>modern cinema
Anything in color is modern cinema.
I enjoyed this movie when I was 20 years old and doing a little bit of cocaine. Right around when the anniversary DVD came out.
and it all works to make an unique masterpiece.
Found the teenagers with a Scarface poster in their bedroom.
Found the filtered midwit.
>line was done better by Homer Simpson when he was protecting his pile of sugar in the backyard.
real funny you overbearing frick
Scarface is undeniably good. It's no easy job to make a 3+ hour movie where every scene is kino and never ceases to entertain you.
It really is good and entertaining. But you're on Cinemaphile so everyone has to act contrarian
try watching when you're not high tho
Tony's aggravatingly prideful, stubborn and angry character actually could've been pretty interesting. You even see other characters react negatively to his obstinacy. Unfortunately he's set in another generic tale of American excess. The movie has the reputation it does because the character is compelling, but the storytelling is not.
No, it's a great movie and you are homosexual.
Only Black folk like this 3 hr piece of shit.
De Palma is awful.
Carlito's Way > Scarface
I like them both but I can't stand John Leguizamo

It's a remake anyway.
Scarface and Miami Vice spawned the whole 80s vaporwave aesthetic and I will forever be grateful for it. C
You got filtered. It happens.
>muh overbearing
t. autist with sensory issues
OP is high on his own supply.
It came out in 83, it's basically watching the cocaine pandemic unfold live. But you're too young to appreciate that let alone understand it.
>But you're too young to appreciate that let alone understand it.
picture me in Prospect Park in 1985 stepping on the thousands of crack vials everywhere.
you don't know shit about me, bud
>overbearing
wrong on all counts
Scarface showed the dark side of the American dream, Americans were not ready for this movie at that time.
>It's a brown film made for a brown audience.
The remake, yeah, I doubt they even know the original one.
Imagine hating anything just because Black folk like it
Carlito's Way is the superior movie and people don't say that to be contrarian. It's just much better paced and more compelling. Scarface is very messy
It's worth watching purely for Al Pacino's overacting, same thing with Heat
E.g.? I don't remember a great deal of specifics, but the supposed concluding masterstroke of "assassinate everyone lol" came off as pretty childish.
go back to /film/ it's for redditors like yourself
>scarface?
>ewwwwww
>blue is the warmest color?
>THIS IS SO LE KINO LE KINO FOR homosexualS LIKE ME MOM'S GONNA FREAK
Dont forget the ridiculous amount of unnecessary on-screen violence. its tasteless machohedonism
do you stick a tampon up your ass and pretend it's your vegana you stupid queef? it's a film about an 80s drug kingpin and his rise to power. if anything it downplayed the violence of the time
Original 30s one is better
Anyone who says Carlito's Way is the superior movie is just being contrarian
Anyone who says Catlito's Way is the superior movie is right.
i only watched scarface once. when i was a kid. it was one of the first great tier movies i saw, but the thing i remember the most is, damn this was a long ass movie. im glad that i've seen it but im even more glad that im over with it and i wont have the fear of missing out
on the other hands, movies like godfather I, II, lord of the ring (all 3), barry lyndon, ben hur, titanic, hateful 8, hamlet, apocalypse now.... feel like they just fly by and you wish there was more.
im too scared to try and rewatch scarface because im pretty sure it wouldnt hold up
