OK, I'm Reloaded!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2010)

Ya, you are right...Scarface is poorly written...the dialogue is too simplistic. Do you even know who Oliver Stone is? The person who wrote Wall Street, Platoon, and about a half-dozen other classic films, just got it wrong, huh? More like you got it wrong. Aside from Goodfellas, I feel Scarface has the most realistic dialogue of any movie. None of the lines are romanticized, it all seems natural and true. Do you think a Cuban refugee turned drug kingpin is going to be an elegant and articulate speaker? Tony Montana is a savage, and Al Pacino does a truly awesome job of portraying him. Scarface is seriously one of the most entertaining movies ever. The only knock on it is that is does not have great depth, but that's just comparing it to the other all-time best films. It has plenty of subtleties going on though, thanks to Oliver Stone. Here it is - Scarface has more great lines than any other movie, ever.

Hector the Toad: So, you got the money? Tony Montana: Yep. You got the stuff? Hector the Toad: Sure I have the stuff. I don't have it with me here right now. I have it close by. Tony Montana: Oh... well I don't have the money either. I have it close by too. Hector the Toad: Where? Down in your car? Tony Montana: (lying) Uh... no. Not in the car. Hector the Toad: No? Tony Montana: What about you? Where do you keep your stuff? Hector the Toad: Not far. Tony Montana: I ain't getting the money unless I see the stuff first. Hector the Toad: No, no. First the money, then the stuff. Tony Montana: (after a long tense pause) Okay. You want me to come in, and we start over again? Hector the Toad: (changing the subject) Where are you from, Tony? Tony Montana:(getting angry and suspicious) What the (bleep) difference does that make on where I'm from? Hector the Toad: Cona, Tony. I'm just asking just so I know who I'm doing business with. Tony Montana: Well, you can know about me when you stop (bleeping) around and start doing business with me, Hector!
