Scarface (1983)	comment	Scarface is a 1983 crime film directed by Brian De Palma, written by Oliver Stone and starring the great Al Pacino. It is a loose remake of the 1932 film of the same name directed by Howard Hawks and written by Ben Hecht (both of whom the 1983 film is dedicated to).The film centers on Antonio "Tony" Montana (Pacino), a Cuban refugee deported to Miami during the Mariel Boatlift of 1980, during which Fidel Castro sent off not only the relatives of Cuban-Americans abroad but also the dregs of his jails. The film covers Tony's violent rise to the top of Miami's drug trade and his eventual Descent into Addiction and paranoia that alienates him from his friends and family.Scarface's graphic violence and language originally drew controversy and was originally panned by most, if not all critics, but has since been not only reappraised but also developed a cult following and become an influential popular work, especially in Hip-Hop culture.In 2006, two spinoff video games were released, based on What If? scenarios that avert the film's Downer Ending. The first, The World Is Yours, is a Third-Person Shooter that allows players to control Tony in sandbox-style gameplay as he seeks to rebuild his reputation and empire after losing everything. The second, Money. Power. Respect., is a Turn-Based Strategy game where players make strategic decisions and command groups of minions. An unconnected comic series, Scarred for Life, follows a similar premise. In December 2016, Tony Montana was made a playable character in, of all things, PAYDAY 2, as part of some potential early cross-promotion for a remake of this film that is currently in the production stages. His mansion from the film also makes an appearance as a playable heist.

Scarface (1983) / int_113480b7	comment	Canon Foreigner: Alejandro Sosa doesn't have an equivalent character in the original film, though he bears some resemblance to Inspector Guarino insofar as he becomes Tony's ultimate antagonist and the cause of death. In the original, Tony successfully killed off all potential rivals, and his death was at the hands of the police instead of other criminals.

Scarface (1983) / int_11cac491	comment	Tragedy: A classical crime tragedy. Tony is shown to be a ruthless criminal who nonetheless has redeeming qualities, is loyal to his friends, and cares for his family. However, his many flaws and an increasingly severe cocaine addiction brings a swift end to his criminal empire and in the end, Tony loses everything he built and everyone who ever cared about him is either dead or hates his guts. Even at the end, it's generally hard not to feel bad for Tony.

It takes a shotgun blast at close range from behind and a fall off a balcony to finally kill him.

Tony's moral code allows him to kill only in defense or retaliation (in his words "I ain't never fucked nobody that didn't try to fuck me first"). His willingness to take part in that hit in the first place (the target being an activist who'd done nothing to him) showed that his principles were on the decline. His fellow mobsters don't share the same moral views which results in his downfall.

He ends up taking her along after Frank's death, and the "Push It To The Limit" montage shows that she's more interested in indulging in her drug/alcohol habits instead. She later looks at their marriage and life as them being "losers" and leaves, despite Tony's efforts to make her stay. But there were times when they started to get along - a key scene in support of this trope is when Tony succeeds in making Elvira laugh in spite of herself when he puts on her hat.

Scarface (1983) / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: Tony Montana has far more moral standards and likable characteristics than his original counterpart Tony Camonte. For one thing, it's pretty hard to imagine Camonte even having any second thoughts about something killing children and putting any sense of morality before self-interest in the same that way Montana does. Even their last stands are quite a bit different from each other. In the original film, Camonte fights and goes down fighting against the police, whereas Montana fights off but ultimately loses to a rival druglord's death squad. Furthermore, Montana's incestuous feelings toward his sister are far more ambiguous here, while Camonte leaves little to nothing the viewer's imaginations.

It was for a good reason, but if he'd thought out his actions he could have avoided the situation without antagonizing the only person who could have fixed the mess he was in. Then later, instead of trying to fix the situation, he kills Manny Ribera (his best friend), in a fit of rage, driving Gina (his own sister), to try to kill him.

But when Sosa offers to make Tony's legal problems go away if he carries out a hit on his cartel's behalf, Tony takes it as a personal insult and that Sosa always regarded him as a thug. Seeing no other options though (and refusing to even consider jail time), he complies under duress.

He tries to gather his thoughts, muttering to himself "We gotta get organized", but there's no one to listen. He picks up a phone but drops it without dialing as there's nobody to call. He needs someone he can trust to help him, but he's either driven away or killed everyone that fits that profile. He's all alone and about to die and almost only has himself to blame. The only thing that snaps him out of it is when Gina gets gunned down by said men, and even then it's only enough to make him decide to kill as many of them as he can in blind fury and coke high.

Shortly before that, he picks up the phone on his office desk for a moment, then sets it back down. There's nobody left to call: Manny and Gina are dead, Frank is dead, Sosa wants him killed, his mother has disowned him, and Elvira has left him for good. Tony has absolutely nobody left. Poor, poor Angel. It's horrifying the way Hector saws him off-screen.

However, it should be noted that in the final shootout, Tony is shown reloading his rifle multiple times.

Scarface (1983) / int_c02f148d	comment	Both Sides Have a Point: When talking about the other to Tony, Sosa, and Frank do make good points about each other. Sosaâ€™s words arenâ€™t without truth regarding Frank; that Frank could possibly have spies infiltrating his own crime syndicate shows that Frank is an idiot who, for all his talk of flying low, has no idea how to keep his men in order and effectively run a business. Subverted in that Sosa isnâ€™t known for being honest, and the fact that Omar may have been a stoolie could have been intentional due to the fact that Frank has law enforcement working under his thumb so Omar could have easily been one of those cops under his thumb at some point who he ordered to help keep his rivals out of the way in the same way he had Mel try to keep Tony out of his way. Frank Lopezâ€™s warning to Tony about Sosa holds more water; when he mentions that Sosa would send a hit squad after him if the Bolivian crime lord didn't get his way and that in general Sosa kills anyone who isn't 100% obedient to him. This was shown to be true after Sosa's fury with Tony over the death of Alberto as he killed all of Tony's members and the crumbling drug lord himself in retaliation.

Regardless of origin, the refugees end up herded into poorly funded camps like "Libery City" in Miami, and generally treated as subhuman, especially by immigration officials, who sees them as Fidel Castro "dumping his garbage" on the United States. However, while most of the refugees are portrayed as innocent victims of xenophobia and racism, others, such as Villain Protagonist Tony "Scarface" Montana, Manny Ray, Angel and Chi-Chi, who are all genuine criminals with no legitimate claim for citizenship.

Scarface (1983) / int_ce6555f0	comment	Lighter and Softer: Beneath the gallons of blood and swearing, the film is actually lighter in tone compared to the 1932 version, largely because of its protagonist: Tony Montana, for all the acts he commits, has lines he won't cross and makes a good point about how society needs people like him to blame for their own failings. Tony Camonte, the protagonist of the 1932 film, has no such moral lines or sentimentality. Montana's Large Ham tendencies and macho posturing is in stark contrast to Camonte's animalistic leering and barely-restrained rage. Camonte's relationship with his sister was more overtly incestuous as well, whereas this film leaves it more ambiguous.

This combined with his increasingly violent protectiveness about his sister resulted in him gunning down his right-hand man Manny, who had just married Gina. Frank was absolutely correct: the guys that survive in this business are the ones who manage to stay underneath the radar.

Scarface (1983) / int_e9957b80	comment	Insulting from Behind the Language Barrier: After Alberto refuses to go with Tony's suggestion to wait until the journalist is alone so they can kill him without killing his wife and children, Tony tells Ernie and Chi Chi "This fucking guy" since he knows Alberto doesn't understand English. Zigzagged at the climax. Tony switches between insulting the assassins (who only understand Spanish) in Spanish and English.

He tries to give some money to his mother, only for her to disown him. Later, he refuses to help kill the journalist's wife and kids, leading Sosa to declare war on him.

Combined with the adrenaline of the ensuing firefight, he's able to withstand being shot multiple times and takes out several of his attackers, even taunting them as they pepper him with bullets. It takes The Skull shooting Tony in the back with a shotgun to finally kill him.

Scarface (1983) / int_fb7bc4a8	comment	Never Trust a Title: There's a very brief exchange of two lines of dialogue in the opening scene calling attention to Tony's facial scar. It's never mentioned again and the fact that he has a scar has no bearing on anything else that happens in the movie. It's just there to justify the title of the film, which is of course a loose remake of the 1932 Scarface that was much more obviously about an Al Capone stand-in.
