I've always rolled solo in this discussion, but here it goes one more time.
Carlito's Way > Scarface
I know, I know. "But Cyrus..." Sure, make your points about the 'rise to power' and yada yada yada. If you look yourself via an iChat camera, you'd realize that you're bugging, fo' real fo' real.
In no way, shape or form is Scarface able to compete against one of my Top 5 (okay...maybe 10) Movies of all Time. Nope. Nah. Chea Right.
Let me break it down, very quickly.
Tony Montana doesn't even ring any bells on my Spanish side.
The rise to fame came too fast and was unrealistic to the extreme.
One dose of that pile of cocaine would have had George Clooney wheelin' "Tony" in on some ER-type stuff.
Granted, those little details are minimal to say the least, especially in the 80's. However, when you break down Carlito's Way, so much better.
-Carlito
-Al Pacino doesn't have to put on a hard "fake" accent, he pulled it off nicely.
-Benny Blanco > Sosa (as far as realism)
-Plot twists
Some may say I'm just comparin' apples and oranges, and while I continue to 'push' for my flick to out-debate the Scarface issue, I know at the end of the day it boils down to the same results.
You're Republican. I'm Democrat.
Well, as my swishing final piece of evidence, I present a Miami-based resident who not only dismantles Scarface's credibility but finds it practically a "joke."
Get'em Pitbull, Mr. 305 aka "Sling Crack Sell Dope"....
