Scarface
Directed by Brian De Palma
After getting a green card in exchange for assassinating a Cuban government official, Tony Montana stakes a claim on the drug trade in Miami. Viciously murdering anyone who stands in his way, Tony eventually becomes the biggest drug lord in the state, controlling nearly all the cocaine that comes through Miami. But increased pressure from the police, wars with Colombian drug cartels and his own drug-fueled paranoia… From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Clearly he did it, he's like the main character of the book I guess This is like when UPN had the edited version of Scarface on and the movie run time ended up being like 38 minutes lol
neutral · AI labelView post →Like at least people generally know what Scarface is about even if they clearly didn’t finish the movie but Saturday Night Fever is not about a cool guy having a great time!

neutral · AI labelView post →Does anybody have that one video that’s the movie Scarface with the national broadcast alert telling the viewer the subtext of the movie directly because I feel like it’d be useful today.
neutral · AI labelView post →The closest I can think of is when Al Pacino said in the film, Scarface, "Say hello to my little friends... SIX SEVEN!"
neutral · AI labelView post →Trump is talking about Hannibal Lector rn at the RNC but he is simultaneously talking about how “they’re emptying out their insane asylums” and sending them at America, so without saying it, he’s actually talking about a different movie. He got that idea from Scarface. Seriously…
neutral · AI labelView post →Not manga but I got inspired by the Scarface movie poster
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching Carlito's Way, and it's actually heartbreaking how few films exist like it today. Big budget, handsomely staged, shot on location, made for grownups. Phenomenal film. A flipside to Scarface, and a better film.
positive · AI labelView post →Remembering the truly unsung George Raft, golden age actor and dancer, on his 125th birthday. Famous for his many gangster roles in film such as SCARFACE, PICK-UP, STOLEN HARMONY, EACH DAWN I DIE, THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT, JOHNNY ANGEL, BLACK WIDOW, A BULLET FOR JOEY, SOME LIKE IT HOT, and more.
neutral · AI labelView post →I love how Scarface was supposed to show how unhinged and ruthless capitalism is yet every dude who has seen the movie thinks Tony Montana is a role model.

neutral · AI labelView post →talked about this on the show before but drug movies (Scarface, Blow) are great to watch on treatment days because you’re done before anybody in the movie has to learn their lesson
neutral · AI labelView post →This film is brilliant. It Feels like Scarface. Incredibly well made and the acting is phenomenal youtu.be/0tXEN0WNJUg?...
neutral · AI labelView post →He did: Carrie, Dressed to Kill, Scarface, Blow Out, and The Untouchables, a movie that needed like 90 percent less soundtrack.
neutral · AI labelView post →A blast from the past for Sunday morning, I was dogging off school in 1983 to watch Scarface, an ultra-violent grenade-launcher of a remake we were warned might corrupt our morals; nothing is more attractive than the forbidden, so I had a front row seat. 5 out of 5 film-authority.com/2026/09/13/s...

neutral · AI labelView post →This is why we need media literacy, Scarface is a movie about a cool guy
negative · AI labelView post →Scarface was a fine movie but its politics were a bit iffy. wouldve been way better if at the end the Scarface turned to the camera & said "i am fiscally conservative now" & then specified hes the exact kind of fiscal conservative i am
neutral · AI labelView post →While the film does opt toward a more realistic approach than Scarface, it does tend to fall into action movie clichés every now and then.

positive · AI labelView post →I don't buy the "It was his point of view, so racism" argument. I rewatched Scarface days ago. I LOVE that film. It's a character profile of a man who spirals downward in the most dramatic way. Around him are fleshed out characters, despite the film being in his point of view. Taxi Driver...smh.
positive · AI labelView post →The Dark Knight (2008) had a small budget of 185 million, so Heath Ledger had to play 2 roles in the same movie - the Joker and the dirty police officer nicknamed Scarface.

negative · AI labelView post →We look back on Scarface more fondly now but it still blows my mind that when it first released few critics focused on how gorgeous this movie looked and the fully lived-in world DePalma created in this fake version of Miami and instead they talked about Pacinos insane accent
