I didn't know they said that word in that movie. This is entirely new to me. 😉

I was shocked too.
Apparently there was a super subtle subplot where Pacino plays a coke dealer....!! 😮
QUE
queeqChaos
NOOOOO.....no way.... I don't believe that!
SOG
Sadako of GirthExtreme Mode
Yes, apparently its all true...! ('Apparently', because it was beneath my levels of subtlety detection too, I have only heard rumours.)
QUE
queeqChaos
Show me ONE scene that proves it.
SOG
Sadako of GirthExtreme Mode
Ive looked extensively and was alarmed to find no scenes that directly alluded to it. 😮
QUE
queeqChaos
See... all darn rumours.
SOG
Sadako of GirthExtreme Mode
Yep. They said it was very violent too.
I saw no evidence of that either.
QUE
queeqChaos
Violent???? Scarface???? Were they confusing it with the old black and white movie or something??? That was a cruel movie, but not the one with Pacino.... it focused solely on Montana's soft side.
SOG

It was a bold move at that time of Pacino's to star in such a girly, weepy, rom com fresh off of building up that hardened Godfather image.
QUE
queeqChaos
Indeed. After his overly violent and tough performance in GFI and II, Dog Day Afternoon and espeically the X-rated Author!Author!, Scarface was a major departure from this type of films.
SOG

He really showed his sensitive side in that. Thats not an easy thing to get across for a lot actors.
QUE
queeqChaos
Not that deep and emotional no.... he really made us look deep inside of him. Very brave to be so vulnerable.
SOG
Sadako of GirthExtreme Mode
Indeed. Any more vulnerable, and he would have had to have played it in a diaper or a evening dress.
QUE
queeqChaos
Which was in one of the deleted scenes... but they felt it was bit out of character...
SOG
Sadako of GirthExtreme Mode
Yes they certainly shouldnt have overdone it. with the role being already portrayed with the upmost naivete and innocence.
QUE
queeqChaos
A revolutionary portret of a sensiitive person behind the machinery of organised crime of which Tony was the unseen victim... It was moving...

Best weepy of that decade.
Its a family classic you can take either the wife or the kids to, and guarantee that it will warm their hearts.
