Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the women. You know why You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be You need people like me. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie. However, and as it has happened with many other movies from different genres, time has been an ally to Scarface , getting better reviews and with various elements being praised, such as the story and performances.
However, Camonte was based on one of the most famous gangsters in history: Al Capone. Alphonse Gabriel Capone was an American gangster and businessman who became known during the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit, an organized crime syndicate.
Capone was involved in organized crime from an early age, and his whole life was defined by his criminal activities. Capone was imprisoned in but released eight years later as he showed signs of neurosyphilis, and died in His lassitude is our lassitude.
But the moviemakers expect us to care about him because of their conception of his force. You need people like me. Tony may sound almost passive; he may dribble saliva. When Tony, the drunken, corrupted peasant, tells off the old rich, he appears to be speaking for the writer and the director. It may be that Stone and De Palma got into these cheap distortions by using the movie business as their model for the world.
The picture is peddling macho primitivism and at the same time making it absurd. The director is doggedly persistent—compellingly so—but the whole feeling of the movie is limp. This may be the only action picture that turns into an allegory of impotence. Pauline Kael wrote for The New Yorker from until her retirement, in Enter your e-mail address.
Hector agrees and allows for the door to remain open. Once inside, Hector introduces Tony to Marta, who is laying atop two pillows on the hotel. Hector tells Tony he doesn't have the cocaine with him, to which Tony replies that he has no money then.
Hector is spited by Tony's rebuttal and has his men hold Tony at gun point while another handcuffs Angel to a shower rod. Hector demands the money, implying that he intends to kill Tony instead of selling them the cocaine, but Tony refuses. Hector then tears Angel apart with a chainsaw while Tony is forced to watch. Manny — who was waiting outside — realizes that the fifteen minutes has passed and decides to check on the deal with Chi Chi. As he approaches the hotel room, he hears the commotion, and bursts through the door with a submachine gun.
After a short gunfight, and Hector and his associates are killed. Tony, Manny, and Chi Chi escape with the cocaine and the money. Instead of delivering the cocaine to Omar, Tony delivers it personally to Frank. Frank and Tony met and take a liking to each other, but Tony later confides to Manny that Frank may be too "soft" to be a major player for long.
Tony and Manny end up working under Frank in the drug dealing business. Meanwhile, Tony takes an interest in Frank's girlfriend, Elvira Hancock. Frank takes Tony, Manny, and his associates out to the Babylon Nightclub, a high-class venue that Frank frequents.
Although Tony flirts with Elvira, she doesn't show any interest in him. Three months later, Tony pays a visit to his mother, Georgina, and younger sister, Gina, neither of whom he has seen for five years. Gina is excited to see Tony, but his mother is ashamed of him, having long ago learned of his life of crime. Later, while in Bolivia, Tony and Omar are organizing smuggling to the United States with a major drug cartel lord Alejandro Sosa on behalf of Frank, who couldn't travel due to a pending criminal trial.
Tony begins independently making major decisions about the distribution of the drugs through Panama, angering Omar, who believes only Frank has authority to make such decisions.
Omar and Tony begin arguing over the matter, while Sosa offers Omar a quick helicopter ride back home to talk over the transaction with Frank. Sosa then orders his enforcer, the Skull, to hang and assassinate Omar, and explains to Tony that he was a police informant. However, Sosa believes that Tony is trustworthy and makes him one of his business partners, sternly warning Tony never to "fuck him" betray him in any way.
After returning to Florida, Tony is berated by Frank, who is angry about what happened to Omar, as well as Tony's new setup with Sosa. Frank warns Tony that Sosa is a traitor and cannot be trusted.
Tony and Frank subsequently terminate their business relationship, while Tony begins making bolder passes at Elvira, one of them right in front of Frank. At the Babylon Nightclub, Tony is shaken down by a corrupt Miami narcotics detective, Mel Bernstein , who informs him he has evidence linking Tony to the murders of Rebenga and the Colombian drug dealers. Bernstein then proposes to "tax" Tony on his transactions in return for police protection and information.
Bernstein immediately negotiates himself a large bribe and two first-class airline tickets to London. Tony is convinced Frank sent Bernstein because only Frank would know details about the murders.
While talking to Bernstein, Tony is distracted by the sight of his sister Gina dancing with a low-level drug dealer.
Tony sees him take her into the men's restroom to make out with her in the stall, prompting him to beat the man and berate Gina. When Gina tells Tony that she is old enough to do whatever she wants, Tony slaps her. While at the Babylon, Tony is almost assassinated when two men attempt to kill him with submachine guns. He escapes, wounded but alive, and is convinced that Frank is responsible for the attempted murder. Tony instructs two of his men to call Frank at exactly 3 a. He got away.
Using the phone call, Tony tricks Frank into confirming he was behind the attempted hit. Tony orders Manny to shoot Frank, and Tony proceeds to kill Bernstein. Afterward, Tony goes to Frank's house, telling Elvira that Frank is dead and that he wants her.
Tony looks at the sky and sees a blimp with the words "The World Is Yours" on the side. He marries Elvira and takes over Frank's empire, creating many lucrative business fronts and purchasing a huge mansion, complete with luxury items, such as a tiger, as well as multiple surveillance camera monitors. He makes Manny his second-in-command and in charge of security at his warehouses and mansion. However, cracks in Tony's "American dream" begin to form as both he and Elvira become heavily addicted to cocaine.
As a result, Tony becomes more paranoid and violent, and Elvira becomes bored and distant.
