Yea, I didn't like Pfeiffer in this and couldn't understand Tony's obsession with her. But it didn't help they made her jaded, depressed, drugged up, and personality-less.
If Omar was a stoolie and the story about his associate recognizing him was true, then Sosa doesn't do anything slimy in the movie. He definitely seems like just a big time drug dealer who wants to do straight business, profitable for everyone, and not frick each other over. If Omar was not a stoolie, then yea, Sosa's a real scummy guy.
The MC fricking sucks, most other characters are fine though. The movie is good but way too overrated. The story goes nowhere and the film has no overarching message, it's just a sequence of individually interesting narrative scenes but with little depth to them.
Cinema peaked in the 50's and 60's, by the 80's quality standards were already going downhill.
>the film has no overarching message
Imagine getting filtered this hard. The movie is about self-actualization and the pursuit of the American Dream. DePalma deliberately chose to change Tony Montana's ethnicity to Cuban (instead of Italian like the original film) in order to emphasize the importance of America as the land of opportunity in contrast to Castro's communist regime. Moreover, Tony Montana clearly states in the opening interrogation sequence that he idolizes Humphrey Bogart and James Cagney. This is important because it highlights Tony's relationship with classic Hollywood cinema, which is a distinctly American cultural export. More specifically, the tough guys that he looks up to in classic gangster movies reinforce Tony's belief not only in individualism, but American exceptionalism. It's even in his name: Tony MONTANA.
Scarface is a masterpiece of Neoclassicism. It's essentially retelling the story of Rome's conquest of Iberia (it's just been relocated to America). A Depalma film about the Punic Wars would be interesting

I really hope they remake the video game one day. Movie companies love to make sequels or reboots to decades old films and rightfully so because they make money but getting a video game company to do a proper remake it is like pulling teeth. I don't know why video game companies don't like making money
Perfect pacing, great screenplay, simple classic story that people can follow along while appreciating the incredible aesthetics. The set design and the music draw your attention too.
Iconic scenes like this
, which take up a few mins but still can move the story along somehow.
>work for some shady car dealer >one day this Cuban associate comes in >shoots your boss >now you work for him carrying his money-bags wearing Hawaiian shirts.
I watched 10 minutes of this movie with my Dad once. I said it was boring so he changed the channel. He admitted it was overrated wop crap.
You sound like a pair of shitheads.
Did you frick afterwards like the homosexuals you are?
And you were correct.
I guess the turd doesn't fall far from the homosexual's ass.
Your dad is based
>ywn assfrick prime Pfeiffer
Mastrontonio was hotter than pfeiffer in this
Yea, I didn't like Pfeiffer in this and couldn't understand Tony's obsession with her. But it didn't help they made her jaded, depressed, drugged up, and personality-less.
Well that's kinda what Tony was wasn't it?
I think he subconsciously saw a kindred spirit in her, a woman that he wouldn't feel bad for dragging into his world.
What ass? b***h looked like Skeletor in this and I would unironically break her in half while bruising my thighs with her bony pelvis. Blech.
t. fatty
>prime Pfeiffer

>I told what you said to say, that I work in sanitation. They didn't buy it, man.
>No I said to say you were in a sanitarium, not sanitation.
The chainsaw scene is the one that stuck with me the most
Did you ever find the Easter egg in Vice City?
I was very disappointed it wasn't a safehouse.
the real building it was shot in is now a CVS, there is a plaque on the wall that tells about it being shot there
RIP Ray Liotta
The only 3 hr movie I watch the others put me to sleep
>baby's first de palma
Wow, you know who directed this popular film, aren't you special. Also it's his best work regardless.
It's very well paced
It stopped being good after the montage.
What's the Cinemaphile consensus: Was Omar a stoolie?
he wasnt, Sosa just decided that lowlife moron with the balls like Tony would be easy to manipulate.
I personally think he was, but given how slimy Sosa is I think the movie plays better if you believe he isn't.
If Omar was a stoolie and the story about his associate recognizing him was true, then Sosa doesn't do anything slimy in the movie. He definitely seems like just a big time drug dealer who wants to do straight business, profitable for everyone, and not frick each other over. If Omar was not a stoolie, then yea, Sosa's a real scummy guy.
Yes, set Tony to get killed by the columbians too.

Yeah the film is way more than a simple crime film. There's a lot of stuff going on under the hood, good catch on the interrogation sequence.
I'm about to bust out my copy of "The World Is Yours" on the Kinostation 2
Girl like ice cream.

it's true though, Oliver Stone must've realised that while writing it.
the dynamic of Neoclassicism and Romanticism is compelling, does any historical film succeed in blending those two styles?
overrated movie that only Black folk like and glorify
if you like this movie you're a black person
Wrong.

Alot happens. Literally thats it it just never slows down and keeps you interested with witty dialogue and character moments
The music
The film especially when the first and third track is played has this foreboding and tragic sense to it which the film is. Really unique film.
This scene is still one of the bests of all time. Just a long montage with no dialogue. And the banker's face is hilarious.
Perfect pacing, great screenplay, simple classic story that people can follow along while appreciating the incredible aesthetics. The set design and the music draw your attention too.

Fatso was the best character
>work for some shady car dealer
>one day this Cuban associate comes in
>shoots your boss
>now you work for him carrying his money-bags wearing Hawaiian shirts.
>press circle
>“I'm gonna kill Sosa that fricking wienerroach”
Had way more fun with this than VC
Such a kino game
Was she a lesbian?
They really pushed it to the limit
It really sucks when you go look for shooting locations for movies to go visit and everything either looks different, was torn down or was a set.
Oliver Stone
was the womb situation what drove tony to want the world and everything in it?
