in 1984 by the American public
white, " Scarface" and Brian De Palma , was praised by the youth of ghettos. The character of Tony Montana
became the emblem of a hip-hop culture on both sides of the Atlantic. In France, where the film shows the fate of Cuban refugee, became king of cocaine in Miami is regarded as a hymn to cosmopolitanism
Scarface, Brian De of Palma
, distant remake of Howard Hawks turned in 1931, was released in 1984 United States: it is allowed in hysteria. The exuberant interpretation Al Pacino in the role of Tony Montana , Cuban refugee deported by the government of Fidel Castro
who became one of the biggest drug lords in Miami in the late 70's , is vilified by critics. The savagery of the film, which culminates in a scene emblematic of the cutting of a man with a chainsaw during a cocaine deal that does not go as planned, will give the American censorship opportunity to launch a crusade memorable. Brian De Palma
"denature" a classic Hollywood, let alone his screenwriter Oliver Stone
transform the gangster Al Capone inspired
a clown, dressed in August white nose powder cocaine, waddling permanently to the sound of disco music. The U.S. refusal to endorse censorship cuts proposed by Brian De Palma, who wanted to get a ban for children under seventeen years, will prove to him an unexpected chance. The director will simply very smart to release the film as he sees fit, hit X-label synonymous prohibited, which contribute significantly to its mythology. Scarface remains to this day where the film is pronounced the more times the word fuck (about 160 ...). When Scarface is broadcast by American television, this interjection is replaced by "Pineapple", marks a quite unintentional humor from the censors.
. More than the X-censorship, this population is that of black leader Malcolm X
and an illustration of his famous "
by Any Means Necessary" - "to achieve by all means available" slogan that was, in Scarface , taken literally by a Tony Montana who gave to the most bloody.
For the first time since the era of blaxploitation films in the '70s, Hollywood was interested in a ghetto world. Scarface also offered a very subversive alternative lifestyle white.
It was enough to taste the American dream, to be armed with an M-16, to engage in the cocaine trade, the only growing market for a young ghetto, and resume the famous motto
of Tony Montana
" The World Is Yours -" The world is yours . "
is the first film was about a population that is not interested in the U.S., Ronin Ro explains
, author of Have Gun Will Travel , investigative book remarkable about the rise and fall of Suge Knight, owner of Death Row Records , the label of Tupac Shakur and Snoop Doggy Dogg . My brother was pointing at the time the supermarket armed with an M-16. On the screen, finally, I saw someone in film making use of the weapon. Tony Montana were Hispanic, like me, but it was not the Mexican

that says "Yes señor
Scarface was released at the height of the Reagan era, which he translated perfectly selfishness and mercantilist ideology. The cocaine was in vogue at the time, and gangs began to see in the drug trade a way to earn lots of money, whereas before they were content to protect their territory and share the occasion several stab wounds.
"They have transformed their neighborhoods

Scarface
says
Nelson George, author of Hip Hop America
, one of the best studies on the hip-hop States U.S. and abroad. Nobody took the measure of the phenomenon. I think for a young ghetto, there was nothing better to do than to identify with a drug lord. Nihilism of the film, his fetish for weapons firearms, the fact that the main character is an immigrant have touched a sensitive chord. "
Scarface
today became the film's most iconic hip-hop, the United States and France. Other works, most notable are subsequently became cult films inside the ghetto

. Al Pacino recognized that the role of Tony Montana is more than Michael Corleone in The Godfather
, one that has most impressed the public: "People stop me on the street and I recite dialogues of the whole movie! I never thought that this role can score at this point the unconscious of the public. With hindsight, perhaps my favorite movie.

According Brian De Palma
Tony Montana. Bruce Willis makes a
Tom Cruise gives a version very intense, so that Alec Baldwin goes more towards the internalization ...
The videotape of Scarface still lead the best-selling across the Atlantic. The famous motto of Tony Montana , "The World Is Yours " that De Palma had resumed Film
Howard Hawks, became one of the passwords of hip-hop, appears in several songs and video clips. The rapper Nas New York
Houston MC has been so marked by the film he was renamed and is 
Scarface, Tony Montana as , a white suit and floral shirts. Found in the first album Geto Boys (Geto Boys The ) samples of a film whose sentences uttered by Tony Montana : "All I got in this world is my balls and my word - " Everything I have on this earth is my balls and my word . The character of Tony Montana keeps coming in the songs of Wu-Tang Clan
Nas, A
, Jay-Z , we realize that gangsta rap born more Scarface , declined as a chanson de geste, that the reality of the ghetto whose documentary dimension of interest to them very little. The fascination with gangs, the fetishism of firearms and machismo, the cult of cars and clothes are the epitome of a fantasy film essentially, fed Scarface and blaxploitation movies found on video. There was little stressed at the time of the Los Angeles riots of 1992 that followed the trial of the officers who beat Rodney King, the fictional inspiration of the revolt. George Jackson as embracing the metaphor of the negro revolt Stagger Lee , these young men and young women obeyed the darkest side of their imagination. They wore caps Malcolm X , listened to music Chuck D and KRS-One
One of the most egregious legacies of the gangster played by Al Pacino is found in Death Row Records, one of the most prestigious rap labels of the decade. Led by the controversial Suge Knight , whose links with the business of crime, gangs of Los Angeles and drug traffickers have since been identified, Death Row turned into an annex of the Mafia. According Ronin Ro , Suge Knight, who is currently serving a prison sentence, ran his company like Tony Montana . In 1996 , Tupac Shakur , rap star Death Row Records , was murdered in Las Vegas. Although All Eyes on me his new album will be sold four million copies,

have an audio cassette of the dialogues of the film in its French version (otherwise excellent) and listen when he takes his bath. According to the comedian Jamel Debbouze 
"Scarface is a religion suburbs. No one better that Akhenaten, the singer of rap group IAM Marseille , have managed to express the impact of Scarface its existence. In Métèque and dull, the title song from his first solo album, he said: Petit, I was told the story of mobsters, bosses, / Who could bleed and then three guys eat pasta with sauce / Scarface The film was released, then he twisted the minds / Of many people and myself included. " At the end of this song, Akhenaten reflects one of the dialogues of the film. " Tell me where you came from Tony ? says a Colombian drug trafficker. What Tony / Akhenaten replied: " What do you care where I am? " In France, Scarface was watched, and continues to be regarded as a hymn to cosmopolitanism. It is the only film that has managed to give the fall and rise of a small strikes a mythological and sociological dimension to which a segment of the population could identify. "The Godfather said Stomy Bugsy Knight is a movie; Marlon Brando is a king and Al Pacino is a prince. The course Tony Montana could really look like my parents. If you are careful, it begins with finding an honest job, serving hamburgers in a trailer. Then he exclaimed: "I hands made of gold, and they are in trouble " and chooses the crime. This could be our journey. " Unlike the U.S. where the fascination Tony Montana is Worship
Stomy Bugsy. "
Akhenaten. But how can we identify with such a fate? "
Scarface perhaps, with the Godfather trilogy , the gangster film as an end of the last thirty years. He was raised in Bible rank in the U.S. and in France , the fate of Tony Montana has been understood for what it was: an illustration of what not to do. Preview: Scarface (1984) Brian De Palma
