Comparing Scarface 1932 And Scarface 1983

     Perhaps the best movie to ever bless the eyes of any American is the 1983 Brian DePalma gangster movie classic, Scarface. Scarface is the tale of Tony Montana and his journey through his new life in America in the early 80’s Cuban immigrant movement. The movie depicts the American dream, to be successful, perfectly. Scarface and its main star, Al Pacino, also shows movie watchers in detail, the process of going from “rags-to-riches” since that is what he did in the feature. Lastly, Scarface is perhaps the best movie to ever be made because it basically contains all the characteristics that are that of a great movie.

Do you ever have a moment where you just sit there and daydream? If you ask me it can be pretty dangerous if you do it at the wrong time! So you should watch what you do so you won't be like Walter Mitty. In the short story of “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Thurber there are a lot of differences and very little similarities, in my opinion i say the movie was way better.

Is it inhumane to arrest and convict a person of terrible crimes, even if it is not yet committed, if it is certain that it will be? Utopia is an imaginary place in which everything is perfect; in comparison, dystopia is an imaginary state in which the condition of life is extremely bad as from deprivation, oppression, or terror. George Orwell’s 1984 (1949), is a novel based on life in a dystopian setting, with a totalitarian government centered on war and hatred. Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report (2002) is a film in a futuristic setting with a system which predicts future murders so that citizens live a homicide-free utopian life. Winston Smith is the main character in 1984. His rebelious views on his society and government cause his

The beginning of The Notebook opens with the gentleman, Noah in a nursing home facility. We soon learn that he is living at the facility to be close to his wife, Allie who has Alzheimer’s. Allie is introduced to Noah, and he offers to read her a story. They are in the sunroom at the nursing home, and unbeknownst to her he begins to read her a love story. Due to Allie’s disease she is unaware that the story she is listening to is her own read by her true love. Noah begins to share about the summer romance that began one night in the 1940’s at a carnival. We see Allie and Noah fall madly in love only to be torn apart by her parents that do not believe he is worthy of their daughter because of his place in society. Allie’s parents take her away from the love of her life to focus on school, and to find a socially acceptable husband for their daughter. Noah cannot forget Allie so easily and writes to her everyday for a year. When he doesn’t hear back from her we see them both move on with their lives.

The gangster movie Scarface was released in 1983. It was directed by Brian De Palma and written by Oliver Stone. Al Pacino plays the main character of Tony Montana, best known as Scarface. Scarface was one of the best gangster movies of all times, I suggest everyone watch Scarface because it is full of action, drama suspense and violence but most of all greed. In the 1983 era Scarface was a big hit, I found this move breath taking, because of how Scarface murdered anyone who stood in his way, but most of all how his reputation lead him to become the biggest drug lord in Miami, and how his power helped him control all cocaine that went threw the states.

The Godfather and Goodfellas are both considered “mafia movies.” Both of these films portray some form of organized crime committed by Italians. They mutually romanticize the mob lifestyle and depict it with pure clarity. Although both of these movies portray the lives of the same kind of people, they are more than just a simple characterization. Violence plays a major role in each of these films. The Godfather and Goodfellas are obviously very similar. However, they also have several aspects that differ from one another.

In Anchorman 2, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) leaves his family after losing to his wife as the lead anchor for New York City's top news network. Upon leaving, Burgundy's life goes to shambles after suffering through depression, to the point of going blind. Burgundy's departure reminded me of Lebron James leaving Cleveland to go workout in Miami with Dwyane Wade during one of his off days. Alright, that's a bit of a reach comparison but the similarities are there. Though Lebron taking a day trip to South Beach wasn't as crucial as Burgundy leaving his family to work at Seaworld, the point is that both "Lebum" and Burgundy left the ship which may have inadvertently hindered their current situations.

When thinking about the famous gangster Al Capone, and the gangster tour in Chicago, I am not sure I would want to go to the gangster tour. That seems a little sketchy... I compare this reaction or idea I have to other experiences or knowledge I have. I have heard of Al Capone before but I don’t really know much about him… I remember reading a book maybe in like 5th grade. I wonder how this reaction or idea I have can have an impact on other issues, goals or concerns I have. I don’t think the machine gun sound is a good idea at all. That’s basically teaching children (unless there is an age you have to be to go on this tour) the bad things of the past that maybe some kids wouldn’t feel comfortable with learning about.

George Washington once said, “Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.” George Orwell’s satirical novel 1984 is based on the life of Party member Winston Smith, a free thinker, and his battle to restore humanity that has been snatched from the residents of Oceani0a since the totalitarian rule of Big Brother. V for Vendetta, a satirical film directed by James McTeigue, revolves around the actions of an antihero named V and his struggles to re-establish humanity in individuals by rebelling against the government’s rule. In both satires, 1984 and V for Vendetta the concept of humanity is exaggerated in the

Two of the first film noir pieces, The Maltese Falcon and Citizen Kane, share many structural and stylistic similarities. Their biggest similarities are use of the plant and payoff technique, and sending characters on meaningless quests. The Maltese Falcon opens with a description of a golden falcon statue, given as a gift from the people of Malta for their independence, lost en route. After these opening statements, the film jumps to a detective, Sam Spade, tasked with finding someone by Brigid O’Shaunessy, ignoring the falcon completely.

In this essay I will be answering the question throughout time, literature has been used as an instrument to revolt against social and political issues. How is this reflected in the texts you have studied this term? In this term will have learned a lot different texts about a dystopian society, which talks about lack of freedom in a totalitarian government. We were introduced to The Giver, V for Vendetta and 1984. The texts that I will be analyzing are V’s speech and V for Vendetta, 1984, mise-en-scene, and the Giver.

42nd Street in the 80s seemed like my kind of place. Seedy theatres, porn everywhere and enough flesh to satisfy any craving. It was here that a lot of Grindhouse films made they big debut and Doctor Butcher M.D. is one such film. Originally released under the title Zombi Holocaust, the film was picked up by XXX and recut, re-edited and released as Doctor Butcher M.D. The overall story is exactly the same as the original version, with a few slight differences. Severin Films was kind of enough to release both versions on a beautiful 2-disc Blu-ray package that is crammed full of special features detailing the history of 42nd Street and the two films. If you're a fan of gore, Italian nonsensical schlock and an ample amount of full frontal nudity, this Blu-ray is going to be your ticket to the peepshow. If you don't believe me, read on...

When we hold, The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho, and Life of Pi, by Yann Martel together, their big ideas argue messages that are different, but end up complimenting each other because they both have different points between religion and both believe in some sort of “God” in their life. In both books the protagonist set of for a journey of self adventure and each character learns new valuable lessons and results in having self confidence and discovering their true adventurous and powerful self.
