Today's recommended "Scarface Star" is actually a very interesting movie, the film seems to tell a bottom person who has jumped to the top of the upper class little by little, in fact, he is not limited to telling such a story of leapfrogging, if we think about it more, we will find that the meaning or logic shown in this film is far beyond the gangster behavior on the surface.
"Scarface Star" is a gangster movie, a low-level youth, a low-level Cuban youth, came to the United States to find his American dream, he through his own heart, step by step to grow into the leader of the Miami gang, but by killing everything to achieve their own goals, in the end by their own monstrous power distorted, once through unscrupulous means to become a tyrant, he eventually lost under the muzzle of other gangsters.
This is the story told by Scarface, and if this story is observed from different angles, the audience will definitely find different core points and generate different ideas. First of all, we can look at this film from the perspective of a gangster movie, this film tells the story of a low-level ancient puzzle boy, step by step growing into a gangster gangster, this story if given to the general gangster ancient puzzle boy to see, he will definitely be boiling blood, who does not want to get rich overnight, and then can do whatever you want, Tony's road is basically the best road that a bottom guy can think of, but this road has a problem, it is a circular body, not that Tony can be once and for all after the end of this time. After Tony, there will be the next Tony, and it's a road with no end in sight. However, Tony chose this path.
If you go to a lot of gangster movies, you'll basically find that most of the films in this genre follow this routine. A boss who struggles at the bottom will always experience such psychological changes, a person who has obtained his current status through a fierce heart, and eventually will also lose on the road of fierce heart, Tony is not the only one, and "Scarface" is not the first movie to write a story like this. For gangsters, such a routine is not excessive, it is normal.
What do we find if we continue to watch Scarface from another angle? His story can continue to anyone who has worked from the bottom to get the position he needs, and such a person can be applied to almost any scene, any profession, except for the topic of gangsters.
How do grassroots people keep the "wealth" they have struggled for. Tony gives a comical demonstration that ultimately doesn't make him feel completely safe, and the reason Tony can't do it is that guarding wealth in this way can't be done once and for all, because the way he chooses to get it is disgraceful in itself. People who reach the top by stepping on others will inevitably have the same story happening in the future of their lives. Tony's insecurity, loss of trust in the people around him, and defensiveness against anyone stemmed from his former path to power. Suppose he went in through the normal way? There may not be such a thing happening.
From another perspective, if the film has influence and publicity effect, then this film can be seen as an export of the United States' ideas for Cuba. What to do Tony's identity, a so-called political refugee in Cuba, is actually a criminal in Cuban society, a restless person. He wants to go to the United States to find the American dream, but the American dream in his heart is not as comfortable as he thinks, so he becomes a thorn in Tony's body in a cruel way, and he makes himself feel safe by stabbing at others. Put this into international relations, what do we see?
The United States and Cuba are sworn enemies, and to this day the United States continues to impose various embargoes against Cuba. The United States embargo against Cuba and the attitude of the United States towards the nations of the world can be seen. Why did he do that? The reason is simple, because the United States itself is an unstable state of gaining such an international status. It gradually accumulated its existing international status through colonial plunder and war, just like Tony himself, who himself attacked one hill after another through illegal means and through his own heart. So, when he had gained a sharp increase in wealth in a short period of time, Tony was confused. He was incapable of handling his position at the time, just as the United States was incapable of handling international relations after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Suddenly, a strong opponent is lost, and suddenly there is no need to sit on the pillow again. Tony is not prepared for such a life, and the United States is not prepared for such a life, so that after there are no opponents in the world, the United States will become obedient. Will go crazy from time to time, will always distrust others. When they see any signs of others, they will prepare for the worst. This is like the proverb that "a thief looks like a thief in his eyes", and the United States has basically fallen into this situation since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and in fact, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States was also in this way. Therefore, the movie "Scarface" is more and more meaningful.
From different angles can see different core points, how powerful this film is, I don't need to say it, of course, another angle may be more exciting, as a film in the eighties of the last century, in the turbulent times can stand out, "Scarface Star" is indeed extraordinary.
