((Scarface))
Tony, a young Cuban refugee, fled to Miami in the United States and became a typical American street gangster who is not afraid of the sky and the ground. Tony worked under a local drug lord, and was quickly appreciated because of his cruel heart, boldness and carefulness, and his excellent job of helping the boss complete a few tasks, and he became the drug lord's first right-hand man.
However, Tony was not satisfied with this. He first took a big order from the Venezuelan drug lord, and then removed his own eyes one by one, and his power continued to expand. When his boss felt threatened, it was too late. Tony killed the boss and dominated the Miami drug market.
After Tony gained power, his character began to become suspicious, and he was full of doubts about the people around him, even his family members and good brothers. Suspicion led him to gradually embark on a road of no return.
I have to say that Al Pacino's performance in gangster movies is always so intractable. With his outstanding acting skills, the film has been nominated for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Music Awards at the Golden Globe Awards. The degree of excitement is self-evident.
The indescribable passionate performance is the main reason for the success of the film. Not only did Tony's desire for success, power, and women be fully displayed, but his anger and greed for this character were also portrayed in three points, which was breathtaking.
