Gangster film with humanity

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2007)

Scarface at least shows humanity - that this violent world created by those in the Arts and those in society comes to nothing in the end.
I think it success has to do with the fact that performances are very personal and the audience will not find it hard to relate to characters. It makes an interesting watch and it will make the viewer wonder as to what will happen next and like the participants we do too like those criminals who thought becoming a gangster was all that - just study the rappers of today and their lyrics.
Al Pacino is brilliant as the great Scarface without a plan. Needless to say what I found most fascinating of all is the fact that it is based on a real story.
I think it was violent, but it also showed how violence begets violence.
We're becoming a society that celebrates violence and that is tragic. Hopefully more filmmakers will key into peace in the future.
