No, it's a reasonable argument
Mister
Ignorance can be remedied. Stupidity is incurable.
That's when you know that a poster either doesn't have a real argument, or is just here for the shenanigans.
@Goldie ?? got a full night rest and back for more
Eh, I wasn't big of a on Departed either...
Definitely a classic, imo.
Scarface did shit his own way and took the consequences of his actions like a man.
Watching his rise and fall is satisfying af...
Tony became just the right amount of a maniac to reach levels of success people only dream about.
He did that shit. Even if he didn't get a long life of it, he died being the man he wanted to be. Standing on his own principles.

I'm biased on this one though cause I had the Scarface leather and the posters on my walls
But they didnt talk about the incest enough and we didn't know enough about Manolo....
:smh:
Nigga died in total conflict
He lost his best friend, his sister. Who were two of the closest people to him and both characters were horribly developed.
No other relationship in the movie was even explored. The relationship with Michelle Pfifer was cosmetic as hell. On purpose to be fair, but my point is this nigga died lonely and tormented....there was no gratification...
I think this movie is romanticized cuz of Tony's ridiculous bravado. It's the same reason kids life superheroes. WWE wrestlers. The unbelievable feats of a near supernatural being.
I get it. It looked cool. He was y'all hero, so you try to apply better qualities than what really existed. But that shit was crazy wild.
If I'm gonna pick a crazy over the top action movie, I prefer Die Hard.
?
As did half the world. The imagery was cool, but people want this movie to be better than it really is.
At least you can admit to your bias
The incest argument is a reach. Not worth it. But Manolo was horrible. I don't think the nigga was even a real actor.
Compare his character to the amazing performed Sean Penn did in Carlitos way and it's easy to see what movie is superior
Scarface became the movie for comic book niggas to try and shit on.
All of the nerdy breakdowns of the movie proves my point, mf's know every scene and line of this movie like Friday but can't name 3 characters in movies they dickride.
Why wasn't Trey's mom shown more in BOyz in the hood? What's the back story with Furious and her? What about Nia Long's character?
That shit can be done with every film.
FOh with the corny takes man.

1. The movie wasn't about them, it was about the consequences of Tony's actions.

2. He successfully pursued the woman of his dreams. All a part of his tirade.

3. Lol I don't get what's so unbelievable about his character and storyline. I mean it's a movie not a documentary on the real Scarface.
