Scarface, like most Brian DePalma films, starts off promisingly, showcasing the brilliant director's extraordinary vision. And like most Brian DePalma films, about halfway through it falls apart with unintentionally hilarious results. Which is just the point - the hilarious-ness is unintentional. Am I the only one that realizes this? Usually when a film is unintentionally hilarious it is universally scoffed at, particularly by the type of white pseudo-intellectuals who for some reason hold Scarface to the light. "It's a metaphor for excess." Yeah I get it. It's not very subtle. Try telling one of these people Scarface is a shitty movie. This is the answer you'll get: "IT IS NOT IT'S AN EXCELLENT MOVIE." Why? Because that's what the other white pseudo-intellectuals say. No one knows the real reason.

Sort of with Jake on this one
scarface is a very entertaining film.
Really making my point with that comment.
Funny thing. Wathched that movie for the first time yesterday, and found this blog today. Scarface is a very boring movie. It's about one hour longer than necessary. When they put back whatever half hour of violent stuff they had to remove for whatever they called censorship those days, they should have removed all the crap they put instead to keep the movie from being one hour long.
