Movies and TV : In the Mood for a Gangsta Flick?
First, let me say I ♥ Al Pacino. OK. Got that out of the way.
Now. I am all for movies that end on a positive note.
When the bad guy reaps exactly what he sows, I write that off as a Happy Ending!
“Scarface” (1983) is a film which tells the story of Tony Montana, a Cuban drug dealer: his brutal rise to power in the underworld and his “he had it coming” downfall! The setting is my hometown, Miami, Florida. It’s a sad story. So much for the American dream.
Any person who has watched this gangsta flick will agree on the best line in the movie?
► “Say hello to my little friend!” ◄
NOTE: In the course of writing up this movie suggestion, discovered an even older film, produced by Howard Hughes also called “Scarface”, released in 1932. Pretty much the same story line except the setting is Chicago.
