Highly Motivating

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2009)

At first, many people will come to the conclusion that all this film portrays is "The Rise & Fall Of The American Gangster",,,but i beg to differ.
Nowadays, everyone wants to be successful in whatever they do, whichever profession they are in. This film shows exactly that. Don't get me wrong, i don't glorify drug dealing. But take a look at this film from a different perspective,i.e, a poor person trying to get what he wants( & eventually does).
What happens in the end tells us 2 be satisfied with what we end up getting as a result of our hard work, & not end up becoming greedy. & of course the age old lesson "say no to drugs". Thats the lesson this great film teaches us (if you read between the lines) Secondly, Al Pacino is excellent as Tony Montana. Here again people criticize his overdone Cuban accent. But hes just trying to be unique (after all, thats an actors job isn't it?). Brian De Palma is successful in making this film very raw & violent , & very direct (if not epic like The Godfather Trilogy, Goodfellas, City Of God etc).
So i would like to conclude by saying that, this film, though known to be very flamboyant & loud, has a very important message to deliver. Watch it from a different perspective, & i guarantee you, you wont leave your television set disappointed.
