This was a very controversial movie for the time it was released in. The movie rating committee wanted to give it an "X," but were eventually talked down to an giving Scarface an "R." Even an "R" rating was nothing to tweak your nose back, in the early 1980's. Movies with that rating in the 1980's are nothing but after thoughts in 2018.
DePalma was almost fired for taking the movie way overbudget, and taking so long to make, but the end result was worth it. His meticulous directing gave shape to the greatest ganster movie of all time! Rappers, and other icons, site this movie as their rock for their beliefs. The world is hard, and only balls will get your anywhere in this world. He who dares, wins. This movie is the foundation on which most rappers, and modern day gangsters base their entire moral compass around.
This movie was a flop at the theatres, but when introduced to the new VHS format, it found a huge following, as a cult classic. The movie is full of infamous scenes, and one-liners, etc, that are still being used working on 30+ years later. This movie still sells a lot of dvd's, t-shirts, etc to this day.
The movie was very well written, by eventual famous director, Oliver Stone. The movie is a modern day remake of the original Scarface, but in a different vein, the modern day cocaine trade in Miami, Florida. Led by an all-star cast, and the biggest star Al-Pacino. This movie resurrected Pacino's floundering career, and was a big stepping stone for all the other stars, including Michelle Pfeiffer. The disco musical score visits this movie perfectly, as disco was still riding high in this time period. Lastly, the directing is top rate, as DePalma used his movable camera filming to enhance the visual excitement of this landmark movie.
Scarface was originally given an "X," do to the excessive F-bomb usage in this movie, and violence. I don't think another movie to this day has more F-bombs then Scarface, lol. Also, the infamous chainsaw is very intense, yet you never actually see the chainsaw tearing any flesh, brilliant camera work.
The movie had to be moved out of Miami, as the police, local government, and local gangsters were all in an uproar about a cocaine/gangster movie being made in a city teeming with it's exact problem. So, the movie had to be relocated to the west coast, to be finished.
Just an amazing movie, in every way, 6 stars!!! Highly recommend.
