Levels Of Life: Scarface [1983]
He was Tony Montana. The world will remember him by another name.. SCARFACE.
Scarface is still one of the most known gangster movies 27 years after release. We all know the story, but if you don’t [SPOILERS AHEAD] Antonio (Tony) Montana, who, with his friend Manny Ray, starts in with Miami’s cocaine trade. He survives an attack by chainsaw after a deal goes bad, and several other attempts by other dealers to eliminate him. Eventually the grandiose Montana becomes head of a cocaine cartel. But his enemies start coming after him, and his paranoia threatens to drive Montana’s empire into the ground. He ends up killing his best friend Manny, watching his sister die, and dying himself.
Tony Montana is portrayed as one pissed off guy. The entire movie he’s throwing tantrums, or killing people for the simplest things. The movie has been criticized for it’s over the top, exaggerated, scenes. I was confused at one point, early in the movie, the theme music plays, and then the camera zooms in on Tony’s eyes. He then does nothing. He just runs away, no killing, no anger, no nothing. I was disappointed.
The most powerful scenes would be: The chainsaw scene, which was so many amounts of awesome it was referenced in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Another powerful scene would be Tony’s return to his mother’s house. The way the family acts together, just shows their history so well. Then there’s obviously Tony’s final stand. Huge shootout in which some twenty guys get murdered, and then, Sosa, comes in from the back and “BOOM” adds two more bullets to the already at least full clip’s worth of bullets inside Montana’s body. He falls in the pool, and it’s over. The Rise and Fall of Tony Montana.
I leave you with this, as I am to retarded to insert videos into the post.
