I was playing Vice City and watching several videos on it and was recommended yours. GTA Vice City was completely inspired by Scarface. When Scarface first came out it was attacked by critics as being too violent and having too much foul language. But its a gangster movie. What is it supposed to be? I personally think its Al Pacino's best work. Glad you enjoyed it.
I think the essence of his character is that he's in his element when clawing his way to the top. Once he's on top, he doesn't know what to do with himself. I think this is reflected in his relationship with his wife. Elvira represents the American Dream trophy wife. That's why he wants her. But then once he's married to her it falls apart just like his empire. He can build an empire but he can't run an empire.
Tony had 3 friends during this movie. who came to America from Cuba with him, Manny, Angel and Chi-Chi. Angel is killed during the initial drug deal, Manny is killed by Tony and then Chi-Chi dies against Tony's office door at the end. Always liked these characters and how they interact, like how Chi-Chi looks so annoyed when Tony does another bump of coke near the end
I saw this movie in the theater shortly after my 11th birthday when it was out in 1983. To say it had an impact on me is putting it mildly. My uncle, by marriage to my aunt, took me and my cousin. It seems crazy now to think about it, I would never taken an 11 year old to see a movie of this type, but he did, and I never forgot it. I've seen it many times since then, but there was nothing like seeing it at that age in the movie theater. I was a pretty mature kid, so I already knew about sex, drugs, and crime etc. Still it was truly unforgettable seeing this on screen. There are lots of things I could say about this film, perhaps the most descriptive would be that even though I was so young at the time I do distinctly remember thinking while watching this movie and immediately afterwards when the credits rolled and we walked out that this film would make history. I believed even then that this film would not be forgotten, that it was different, special, that people were going to remember it for a long time to come afterwards. I wasn't sure exactly how, and at that age I likely wouldn't have been able to describe it very eloquently, but I believed even then at that young age that this film wouldn't just fade away like most others. It may sound strange, but I feel somewhat privileged to have seen this in the theater in 1983. I will always remember that day in my life.
15:54 "there's no second chances in the drug business" True words right there. Doesnt matter if they fuck over your trust or anything else. Once burned, lesson learned.
Hey Shelby, seeing you're impressed with Al Pacino's range as an actor, I really think you would love the movie, "Heat" 1995. In this film he plays a homicide detective who tries to take down a master-thief (De Niro) and his whole crew. It is one of those crime dramas that is really rooted in reality and also based on some real life figures. Check it out.
Yeah, one of 10 pre-9/11 movies that mentally preps audiences for...9/11. See Harley Davidson and The Marlboro Man, The Truman Show, City Hall (Pacino) and my favorite, Back to the Future. Luciferians run Hollywood, and control American minds. Wake up cuz it's NOT too late.
Gotta understand Tony was coked out of his mind most of the time, so he wasn't able to curb his anger or pride. It made it easier to kill as well. Funny thing the Scarface game on Xbox and I think PS2 plays after the ending in a 'what if' scenario, what if Tony turned around and killed the guy behind him - He somehow survives the ordeal and loses all his assets. He also stopped taking drugs, and that's when he starts to realize what he's done to Manny, Gina and Elvira.
I saw this when I was 14, loved it and have watched it a few dozen times. I wanted to grow up and be a cocaine dealer, and Cuban. Neither of those dreams came true.
Great reaction. I love this movie, its one of the best gangster/crime movies of all time. The 1st I saw Scarface I was 12 and saw it with my uncle in 1986. He recently passed away and I can still remember the look on his face and how amazed he was with the entire movie.
"I ain't callin' you a truther." Drake and Josh forever changed my response to "You calling me a liar?" I will never answer that question any other way for the rest of my life.
Side note: Sosa's expert in the disposal business, the one that Tony shot in front of the U.N., was also Ace Ventura's landlord. It's funny seeing him in his Scarface role and then seeing him in Ace Ventura.
If you're super interested in what the Miami cocaine wars were like in the 80s, I recommend the documentaries Cocaine Cowboys (2006) and Cocaine Cowboys: Reloaded (2014). The amount of raw material/footage they got their hands on and the people they were able to interview (like one of Griselda Blanca's top hitmen for example) is nothing short of amazing. Apparently it was so wild in those days that getting away with murder in broad daylight was completely feasible. A detective described one incident where two Columbian hitmen chase this woman down a busy thoroughfare on foot until she desperately hops into a random person's car to escape. The detective specifically said they WALKED, not ran, WALKED to the car and executed her and then walked away. Those anecdotes are scarier than fiction.
A favorite. The remake of a 1933 " Scarface ", directed by Howard Hawkes, and starring Paul Muni, and with Italian gangsters. Robert Loggia, ' Lopez', went on to play 'Feech La Manna' , in " The Sopranos."
Great reaction! I love Scarface! I can watch it over and over and never get tired of it. Oscar worthy performance by Pacino! As crazy as Tony is, he is not as evil as the other drug lords in the movie. He will never harm children and does have morals.
It's funny, but I just now realized tony's main mistake... He surrounded himself with incompetent people, all his guards just span without ambition, to some extent it was a conscious choice, as Tony's paranoia manifests itself long before drug use. In the finale, it is quite clearly shown that only Tony was able to fight back, but not because he is the best fighter, but because he was the only fighter
34:42 so for this one is what i tell a lot of people. I can't explain why he was OVERprotective of gina in other situations but something similar occured here but worse. Tony was already feeling stressed because Elvira left him and on top of that he kept snorting a literal mountain of cocaine. he also most likely felt out of control after he killed alberto and he trusted manny to run his business while he was in new york only to find he went "missing" and to top it all off gina was also "missing". so since all of that was weighing him down, plus all the cocaine that was controlling him, he just saw another man who was trying to "bang" his sister. You can see this later in the movie when the cocaine started to wear off a little bit and he became aware of what he just did he was in emotional pain quietly whispering to himself, "manny... how'd i do that? how'd i do that?... manolo" and he was feeling guilty and stuff, but then he just continued to snort. so tony killing manny was tony's fault but not his fault at the same time. he should've never been on too much coke in the first place, but at the same time, if he was in complete control of himself, he would've never killed manny, so it's a 50-50 on that one
Hello Shelby! Shout out from the US Marine Corps! Just found your channel and love your reaction to this! I am so gonna watch more reactions from you right now! I loved how this movie played out and the ending was just epic. Keep up the great reactions! Think I'm gonna go watch The Others with you right now
@@shelbynnaveYes Ma'am lol Hi I'm just seeing this now and hey that part where Tony confront that greedy back stabbing Frank guy lolol he was sweating like a pig Desperately begging 😥 Tony said don't worry I'm not going to hurt you frank and he's relieved for a bit then tells his buddy to kill him lol NOO PLEASE NOO 💥💀 LOL it was actually Really funny wouldn't you agree?
Hi Shelby, so I'm curious, is it me? Or am I missing something? Shouldn't you have 100,000 subscribers or more with this type of content? :) I mean, you present well, and your film choices are spot on. Etc. It's a mystery to me LOL. Hope you are well, bye for now, Alex :) P.s. Keep the excellent work up, it's both enjoyable and entertaining. (Even insightful!)
Hey Shelby I Just Came Across You Channel And I Think Your Doing An Amazing Job Keep Up The Great Work And I'm Looking Forward To Seeing More Reaction From You Have A Blessed Weekend Be Safe Thank You
Many men have empathy for Tony because he doesn't back down against anybody. Plus he achieved his goal. Imo he started to go downhill when he took his own crew for granted and turned on them.
The funny thing with Scarface is that they never actually called him "Scarface" nor was it ever said anywhere in the movie... Or was it...? The name "Scarface" was actually uttered only once... and not in English but Spanish. If you remember the scene with the cocaine deal with the Columbians, Hector said the word "cara cicatriz" which translated to English is... *drum roll* ... "Scar face". Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the word "Scarface" was indeed said in the movie but not in English.
One of the points of the story is that the character of Tony Montana is incapable of controlling himself, with the result that his greed, hatred and impulsiveness guarantee everything he touches will be ruined.
70's classics: The Exorcist. The Sting; The French Connection; The Conversation; The Deer Hunter, Network, All the President's Men, along with another crazed Al Pacino role: Dog Day Afternoon.
Remake of the 1932 Howard Hawks movie of the same name, except in the original it was an immigrant from Italy. Both movies played into the "fear the immigrant" theme. The original "The World Is Yours" sign was a flashing billboard for a travel agency outside his window, (Which really makes more sense). It was loosely based on the 1929 novel by Armitage Trail which was "inspired by" Al Capone.
How is he a womanizer ? Lol this generation these days are so sensitive just labeling people what ever they want because they feel some type of way about it… NEWS FLASH nobody cares about your feelings 🤣
I could tell she was HEAVY on the woman’s side of everything lol Tony simply asked a lady “hey wanna have a drink with me and my friend?” Girl insults him, and her “HA! Deserved it!” Like tf ? 😭😂🤷🏾♂️
@@Killvminnati she dragged it but this is what the world has come. The love to label people anything they want becuase they feel some type of way 🤣🤣 I mean just look at her that’s what you call Gen Z I bet she’s a they/them type of dork 🤣🤣🤣🤣
10:52 Tony was actually right in a way as far as drug trafficking. Bringing drugs into the US directly would've been too dangerous. You have to bring it through a neutral/third party country. It's kind of like money laundering. I don't know this from experience. This is just what I've seen in a lot of movies and crime drama shows. If you want to catch another awesome action-packed movie about drug trafficking, especially in Miami, check out Bad Boys 2. They smuggled drugs in coffins.
Brian de Palma actually hired Steven Spielberg just to shoot the gunplay cinematography for the final fight scene. The best in the business to this day as far as gunplay. Watch MUNICH and see why
Oh you finally reacted to this masterpiece of a movie, I could tell you were invested in the story and characters the whole time. Did you prefer this, Carlito's way, or The Godfather? For me I can't choose because of how good they all are, ofc Al Pacino being the lead actor in all of those also adds to that.
Love this film. It’s a perfect example of how funny Brian De Palma is as a director, regardless of what genre it is. His whole vibe is, “You know this is hilarious, right?” Maybe you can keep a little De Palma season going with two of his other great films, The Untouchables with Kevin Costner and Sean Connery, and Blow Out with John Travolta and John Lithgow. (Oh and I think your system is perfectly fine allowing some time for your thoughts to percolate.)
Thank you! I really appreciate the support! I have The Untouchables on my list for the future already but I will definitely look into Blow Out as well! :)
Majority of citizens in that area of Miami Beach won't risk their lives by reporting that shooting in that street. Even though, drug trade in Miami has slow down since the 80's, it is still prevalent.
You wanna see Pacino in a different light? Check out 'Serpico' (1973) 'Dog Day Afternoon' (1975) & 'Scent Of A Woman' (1992). Scent...... is the only movie he won an Oscar for.
The style of music in this film is great. I made a video playing "The World is Yours" using Vital Synth I liked it so much. Maybe in future I'll do more Giorgio Moroder works.
This movie is Shakespearean in it’s presentation of Tony’s rise and fall. He reminds me a lot of Macbeth with his paranoia. In the scene after Tony kills Frank Lopez and goes to his house to get Elvira, I personally interpreted it as being very dreamlike from Elvira’s perspective. She was woken in the middle of the night by Tony who, in his own morbid and psychotic way, comes as her Prince Charming to whisk her away to a new castle. It also shows that she’s a “trophy” wife in that in order to win her as his prize, Tony had to kill Frank first and be the top dog. Upon stepping outside to smoke a cigarette, the blimp reads “THE WORLD IS YOURS” which in that one moment, really is for Tony. He got everything he set out for: the money, the, power, then the woman. It’s interesting that it occurred in that order too. Another quality of Tony is that though a terrible husband and human being, he was against Alberto killing those children and intervened knowing full well Sosa would be upset. This one act of mercy becomes the final nail in not just his coffin, but the everyone else in the car which is why they all have grim expressions. Also as far as the marriage, I don’t think Tony cheated on Elvira since if he was, thugs in his position typically just have kids with a mistress. Tony Montana has one over on Tony Soprano for being monogamous
Scarface is a remake of a 1932 gangster movie directed by the great Howard Hawks. Obviously with this modern remake, real world events were utilized and they went balls to the walls. Scarface was written by one of the greatest American directors, Oliver Stone. If you’ve never seen any Oliver Stone films, you need to immediately! They would so be right up your alley! I’d recommend these films directed by Oliver Stone specifically for you. “JFK” The Directors Cut (1991) “The Doors” (1991) “Natural Born Killers” The Directors Cut (1994) “Born on the Fourth of July” (1989) And while I’m commenting I’ll add, see the other 80s Brian De Palma mob movie “The Untouchables” A fictionalized take on the story of Elliot Ness and Al Capone. You’ll love it!
Been waiting for this one. You are probably the best movie reactor I've seen, do you have any training / experience in the cinematic arts? There is an excellent book, Snowblind by Robert Sabaag, detailing cocaine smuggling exploits (written mid 1970's) and how they came up with ways to beat the Customs agents. Written as a novel, but this is university level smuggling. Highly recommend.
I'm sorry but you were extremely annoying in this one 😂 Scarface is a masterpiece and you literally complained about the little things in almost every scene lol. Just my opinion of course
This is Pacino firmly in the "Hoowah! phase" of his career, where he lost his indoor voice and sustained himself on a strict diet of chewing scenery. Yeah, he does get typecast as a mob boss. You should watch him play a caricature of his usual mob roles in "Dick Tracy", one of those films that tried and failed to cash in on the success of Tim Burton's 1989 Batman movie. Still waiting for the reboot of that one 😆 "He's such a good brother!" Yeah... 🤣🤣🤣
I think that his relationship with Elvira was more a commentary of love for the wrong reasons. On Tony’s part, he found her very attractive and wasn’t thinking about what he was getting back from it. She’s practically arm candy that costs coke to keep around. On the other side, Elvira stayed where the coke was and a good time. It’s obvious that she’s always was bored by talks of money and dealings and the only few times you see her smile was something new and exciting. Like when he was spontaneous with her. After a while she ended up in the same place, just doing coke, bored out of her mind, and sitting around complaining how life is boring for her. I think the argument made her realize that she was a coked up loser and her walking out could either be her overdosing or getting clean and taking Tony’s advice of getting a job or going to school.
I just finished Apocalipto you seem to like it a lot well if you you should react to 13th Warrior with Antonio Banderas great reactions I’ve been watching you’re reaction since a few days and there great 👍🏻

Damn thanks for the info pro

I think the essence of his character is that he's in his element when clawing his way to the top. Once he's on top, he doesn't know what to do with himself. I think this is reflected in his relationship with his wife. Elvira represents the American Dream trophy wife. That's why he wants her.

did he win an Oscar for Scarface and Carlito's way?
Oh you finally reacted to this masterpiece of a movie, I could tell you were invested in the story and characters the whole time. Did you prefer this, Carlito's way, or The Godfather? For me I can't choose because of how good they all are, ofc Al Pacino being the lead actor in all of those also adds to that.
I think a lot of people miss basically the only good thing tony has ever done is what gets him killed not his greed or evil.
Love this film. It’s a perfect example of how funny Brian De Palma is as a director, regardless of what genre it is. His whole vibe is, “You know this is hilarious, right?”
Maybe you can keep a little De Palma season going with two of his other great films, The Untouchables with Kevin Costner and Sean Connery, and Blow Out with John Travolta and John Lithgow.
(Oh and I think your system is perfectly fine allowing some time for your thoughts to percolate.)
Thank you! I really appreciate the support! I have The Untouchables on my list for the future already but I will definitely look into Blow Out as well! :)

Very cool, madam. _Blow Out_ happens to be one of Quentin Tarantino’s favourite films of all time. An underwatched gem.
Another great one. I am still smiling at your growth. I was there when you had like 30 subs. look at you now Shelby!
Aweee thank you so much, it really means the world to me that you've stuck around so long!
Majority of citizens in that area of Miami Beach won't risk their lives by reporting that shooting in that street. Even though, drug trade in Miami has slow down since the 80's, it is still prevalent.
Best performances by everyone in this great classic movie
One of my favorite movies
You wanna see Pacino in a different light? Check out 'Serpico' (1973) 'Dog Day Afternoon' (1975) & 'Scent Of A Woman' (1992). Scent...... is the only movie he won an Oscar for.
Attica! Attica!
I recommend "Devil's Advocate" for another phenomenal Al Pacino performance. Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron are good in that too.
The style of music in this film is great. I made a video playing "The World is Yours" using Vital Synth I liked it so much. Maybe in future I'll do more Giorgio Moroder works.
27:25 I haven't seen that happen in a reaction before. :)
I've seen Scarface 137 times. I have the entire dialog memorized. So say goodnight to the bad guy.
You hear F-bombs so much, you become numb to it. And the moral is: Crime Doesn't Pay.
That is definitely not the moral in reality, Michael Franzese is an example of crime paying
This movie is Shakespearean in it’s presentation of Tony’s rise and fall. He reminds me a lot of Macbeth with his paranoia. In the scene after Tony kills Frank Lopez and goes to his house to get Elvira, I personally interpreted it as being very dreamlike from Elvira’s perspective. She was woken in the middle of the night by Tony who, in his own morbid and psychotic way, comes as her Prince Charming to whisk her away to a new castle. It also shows that she’s a “trophy” wife in that in order to win her as his prize, Tony had to kill Frank first and be the top dog. Upon stepping outside to smoke a cigarette, the blimp reads “THE WORLD IS YOURS” which in that one moment, really is for Tony. He got everything he set out for: the money, the, power, then the woman. It’s interesting that it occurred in that order too. Another quality of Tony is that though a terrible husband and human being, he was against Alberto killing those children and intervened knowing full well Sosa would be upset. This one act of mercy becomes the final nail in not just his coffin, but the everyone else in the car which is why they all have grim expressions. Also as far as the marriage, I don’t think Tony cheated on Elvira since if he was, thugs in his position typically just have kids with a mistress. Tony Montana has one over on Tony Soprano for being monogamous
Love your entertaining reaction!
Pacino as an Italian playing a cubano is diverse and kills it
Scarface is a remake of a 1932 gangster movie directed by the great Howard Hawks.
Obviously with this modern remake, real world events were utilized and they went balls to the walls.
Scarface was written by one of the greatest American directors, Oliver Stone.
If you’ve never seen any Oliver Stone films, you need to immediately!
They would so be right up your alley!
I’d recommend these films directed by Oliver Stone specifically for you.
“JFK” The Directors Cut (1991)
“The Doors” (1991)
“Natural Born Killers” The Directors Cut (1994)
“Born on the Fourth of July” (1989)
And while I’m commenting I’ll add, see the other 80s Brian De Palma mob movie
“The Untouchables”
A fictionalized take on the story of Elliot Ness and Al Capone.
You’ll love it!
That was a projection TV in the frame. Hi tech in the early 80s.
If you like the topic of the drug world, I highly recommend the series 'Narcos'. All based on true events and incredibly well made.
agreed 💯
@ 6:42 @ For the longest time in American cinema, no words were this true.
"You want play rough okay say hello to my little friend"🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Warped sense of reality? 😂😂😂😂 you are so naive it hurts. 😂😂😂
Scarface is a mob movie now?
React to American Gangster from 2007…. Based on a True Story!
I think I like these commentaries more than the films...😂❤...x
Been waiting for this one. You are probably the best movie reactor I've seen, do you have any training / experience in the cinematic arts? There is an excellent book, Snowblind by Robert Sabaag, detailing cocaine smuggling exploits (written mid 1970's) and how they came up with ways to beat the Customs agents. Written as a novel, but this is university level smuggling. Highly recommend.
Why do you thirsty trolls expect any response
@@melanieladbrooke1221 wot?
You should watch the 1990’s. Version on Gotti. The HBO version. Great movie. Pretty accurate.
I just bought this movie the other day love it classic
the end scene with gina is a hallucination
“Heat”..... w/ Pacino & DeNiro 💯🔥🤙🏽😎
🍿📽️🍿🎥👌👍👍⛄✨🙏🪄✨😇😁💙💙🍿🍿🍿🍿
I agree with @Liliana Jenkins, "A Bronx Tale" is a mobster movie that every fan of the genre should have seen.😁
It's on my list!
👍
In his defense he did tell him his sister is off limits, specially in the kind of business their in. He should of stayed away
I'm sorry but you were extremely annoying in this one 😂 Scarface is a masterpiece and you literally complained about the little things in almost every scene lol. Just my opinion of course
Al Pacino walking down the hill to see his tiger with his lifts and wig on and his perfect fake teeth
This is Pacino firmly in the "Hoowah! phase" of his career, where he lost his indoor voice and sustained himself on a strict diet of chewing scenery. Yeah, he does get typecast as a mob boss. You should watch him play a caricature of his usual mob roles in "Dick Tracy", one of those films that tried and failed to cash in on the success of Tim Burton's 1989 Batman movie. Still waiting for the reboot of that one 😆
"He's such a good brother!" Yeah... 🤣🤣🤣
I think that his relationship with Elvira was more a commentary of love for the wrong reasons. On Tony’s part, he found her very attractive and wasn’t thinking about what he was getting back from it. She’s practically arm candy that costs coke to keep around. On the other side, Elvira stayed where the coke was and a good time. It’s obvious that she’s always was bored by talks of money and dealings and the only few times you see her smile was something new and exciting. Like when he was spontaneous with her. After a while she ended up in the same place, just doing coke, bored out of her mind, and sitting around complaining how life is boring for her. I think the argument made her realize that she was a coked up loser and her walking out could either be her overdosing or getting clean and taking Tony’s advice of getting a job or going to school.
If you want a good drug dealer type film you should check out Blow.
Derek Forreal!! 💯🤣
Yea mob movies forever
Great reaction to this 80s gangster cult classic.
😂😂😂😅😅😅 first time seen contact lens Fallin itself 😅
Yeah do Django unchained I would love to hear your thoughts
Just watched this movie today I loved it
Insomnia is an underrated Pacino movie also starring a serious Robin Williams.
12:38…
Nice Drake & Josh reference!
Say hello to my little friend!
I just finished Apocalipto you seem to like it a lot well if you you should react to 13th Warrior with Antonio Banderas great reactions I’ve been watching you’re reaction since a few days and there great 👍🏻
Thank you so much! And I will check out that film!
You can tell Shelby hasn't tried the cocaines. lol
Check out Dog Day Afternoon. One of my top 5 Pacino performances. He does not play a gangster.
