Scarface: The Story of A Man With a Dream
"You wanna play rough? Say hello to my little friend!"- Tony Montana, a.k.a. Scarface. "Scarface" was directed by Brian de Palma and starred Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer along with many others. This movie chronicles the life of a Cuban refuge who came to America in May, 1980, when Fidel Castro opened the harbor at Mariel Bay, Cuba, with the apparent intention of letting some of his people join their families in America. As the movie's opening introduction explains, it soon became obvious that Castro was doing a little more than sending for the scum of Cuba to come to America. Of the 125,000 Cubans who came to America that year, an estimated 25,000 had criminal backgrounds.
Antonio Montana (Al Pacino) was one of those criminals who came to America from Cuba and successfully set up his own kingdom of cocaine, wealth, and greed.
