The Ending to Scarface.
 
I watched this classic for the first time on Christmas Eve, and I still can't get over the ending.

The whole movie is fantastic, from the start to finish and I swear 'Push it to the Limit' is a ******ing amazing song from the film, omg.
But the ending.. is just.. like, draw dropping?

Spoiler:

When Tony Montana is shot in the back and falls into his pool, dead.
I just didn't see it coming, I mean the entire film is based around Tony's journey from rags to riches and becoming a drug lord and then at the end it's all took away and falls down around him, I really thought it would be that typical action film bollocks where the main character comes close to death but ends up surviving and there's a happy ending.

Even when Al Pacino fell into the pond, face down - I expected him to get back up and shoot all around him.. but no, then the movie's closing theme came on. :shocked:

I guess the film has a really hard hitting moral to the story, and that's don't let your accomplishments go to your head - and take it all for granted because it can come crashing down on you like that.. and always look behind you in gun battle.

But yes, did anyone else think Scarface's ending was beautifully done?

One of Al's best performances, great film.

Manny should have lived though

None of those Drug Lord films have a happy ending though. Amazing film though, Al Pacino is a God :love:

Once Tony killed him, I was just like 'You Bastard..'

Tony is a character who you start of rooting for, he's the underdog, then you see the underdog fight back, and think "Yeah! Stick it to the man" then you see him being worse than the people you cheered for him to kill.

Exactly, well said.

Tony Montana is the greatest character ever played in a film.

Are you kidding me? He didn't even play the best joker -Heath- never mind best character ever.

I hate Nolan's Batman with a passion and am not a fan of Heath Ledger's joker.

Nicholson owned that role. The moment when he pulls a five foot gun out of his small suit pocket is probably the great cinematic moment in history, no joke.

the gawd

Niamh. 16-02-2012 12:55 PM

we need to sort this **** out.

Locke. 16-02-2012 02:11 PM

Patrick Bateman is the greatest ever. I don't care if he's based on a book.

Agreed on all counts, especially with the downfall of those who let ego overtake their career aspirations and ruin their family, literally. Beautiful film full of grit, intensity, and energy if you're into that sort of thing. The ending: how could it end any other way?
To Arista, about the chainsaw scene: I thought the hulk would like that one too. :joker:

Patrick 16-02-2012 04:13 PM

Ah yeah, the chainsaw scene was one of the most brutal things I have ever seen.
I love how Tony chases the guy out to the middle of the Miami Streets and kills him in broad day light, casually hops in the car with the other two guys and drives off :laugh:
