The social significance of gangster movies
Reinhold 2021-10-13 13:05:49
One of the social meanings of gangster movies is to use the brilliant history of the bosses and the ending of everything to decline to tell us deeply: bad guys are not as happy as we thought. This seems to be a routine of good guys, how do you look like it is made up to chat and comfort with the spirit of masturbation. We can say, look, the boss is also very unhappy. Tony, the last drunken talk in the restaurant, that's it. You can point to that person and say, look, he is a bad person, to show that he is a good person. If it is not for character paranoia, the story of Cuban immigrants is not a tragedy but a "successful struggle history", and it can be said to be a "successful" example of the "American Dream".

Arranging him to die in the end is logical, but TM is too exaggerated, so that Sosa always arranges only troops lurking near Tony's mansion to kill him, even if there are a few killers, a team of 2 or 30 people All dispatched. . . On the contrary, there are less than 10 people in the entire mansion on Tony's side? In the end, Tony killed 10 people by himself? In order to express the effect, there is no need to exaggerate it like this. If the ending is better, I will give 5 stars.

Pasinu's performance is always so tense, his breath-holding character is doomed to his tragic success, Xiao He's failure, and Xiao He's 30 minutes of betrayal and separation. He has made a lot of neurotic mistakes. This is a story told by someone else and you can only accept his ending

Elvira Hancock: You're always hungry. You should try starving.

Tony Montana: Look at that, a junkie... I got a junkie for a wife. Her womb is so polluted, I can't even have a fucking little baby with her!
Manny Ribera: C'mon, Tony.
Elvira Hancock: You son of a bitch!... You fuck!
[throws wine in Tony's face]
Elvira Hancock: How dare you talk to me like that? What makes you so much better than me? What do you do?
Manny Ribera: [trying to dry off Tony's clothes] Don't worry.
Elvira Hancock: [as shocked restaurant clients looks on aghast] You deal drugs and you kill people. Oh, that's wonderful, Tony. Real contribution to human history.
Tony Montana: Go ahead. Just tell everybody. Come on.
Elvira Hancock: You want a kid?
Tony Montana: Tell the world.
Elvira Hancock: What kind of a father do you think you'd make?
[Tony tries taking a swipe at her]
Elvira Hancock: Who's gonna drive him to school in the mornings? Are you even gonna be alive by the time the kid goes to school?
[Tony glowers at her in rage]
Elvira Hancock: You don't even know how to be a husband!
Tony Montana: [snarls] Sit down before I...
Elvira Hancock: [as Manny and guards try to calm her down] Do we ever go anywhere without having 600 thugs hanging around us all the time?
[sobbing:]
Elvira Hancock: I have Nick "The Pig" for a friend. What kind of a life is that?
Manny Ribera: Come on.
Elvira Hancock: Can't you see... what we're becoming, Tony? We're losers. We're not winners.
Tony Montana: Go home. You're stoned.
Elvira Hancock: I'm not stoned. You're stoned.
Tony Montana: Get her out of here!
Manny Ribera: Come on. Come on.
Elvira Hancock: No! No! I'm not going home with you!
[sighs, vainly trying to brush her hair back]
Elvira Hancock: I'm not going home with anybody! I'm going home alone. I'm leaving you. I don't need this shit anymore.
Manny Ribera: Okay, I'll walk you out.
[tapping Tony on the shoulder:]
Manny Ribera: I'll take her home in a cab.
Tony Montana: Let her go, let her go. Another Quaalude, she gonna love me again.
