I don't understand why people love Scarface. What am I missing here?

A wanna be gangster attitude.

Alot of them worship the attitude Tony had, they always focus on the wealth he acquires but they forget that he dies at the end.

it's a great movie though but Tony Montana wasn't created to be a role model but rather a cautionary tale.

I agree with this:

Good point(s). Maybe I should watch it again, I might have a new perspective.

I find Carlito's way is better than scarface but that's just my opinion.

I hate to admit but now i like Glee lol

i got absorbed in all the teen drama and the catchy songs (Sh*t im only human)

Yesterda i saw the MJ eps and the cello rendition of Smooth criminal was pretty cool.
Such a good song, that's when you know you made a good song if you can strip down all the fancy arrangements and it stills sounds good.

Breakfast of Champions and Sh5 are KV' s weakest books. Dead Eye Dick & Bluebeard forever

John Green is creepy and gross and a worse writer than Chuck P

^ KV is the only author I've read extensively, including all four of those. My favorites were MN and SoT.

Paul Smeenus · 05-09-2014, 03:23 PM
