Scarface
Movie • 1983 • Action
ReportAfter getting a green card in exchange for assassinating a Cuban government official, Tony Montana stakes a claim on the drug trade in Miami. Viciously murdering anyone who stands in his way, Tony eventually becomes the biggest drug lord in the state, controlling nearly all the cocaine that comes through Miami. But increased pressure from the police, wars with Colombian drug cartels and his own drug-fueled paranoia serve to fuel the flames of his eventual downfall.

Mostly cocaine. At one point Tony Montana is sitting at his desk in front of a massive pile of cocaine, with cocaine smeared on his face and his clothes

Presumably something happened to Tony’s face before the events of the film. We never find out exactly what though and the scar isn’t particularly prominent

Mostly justified anxiety about getting killed imminently. After killing Manny, Tony has an anxiety attack where he staggers, breathes heavily and says “how the fuck did I do that” but tbh it’s difficult to feel sorry for him

Al Pacino isn't Cuban but is playing a Cuban through his lens. It's a powerful performance, but it may not properly represent Cubans

Tony is incredibly overprotective of his sister, to the point of killing her husband in a rage. After this she accuses him of wanting her for himself and says “fuck me, Tony”, then shoots him and is shot her self by a third party. He talks to her body as if she is still alive. There’s definitely some incestuous feelings going on there. It’s a real mess
