What to write about... well... maybe... Scarface!

This week I've re-watched what are possible my favorite movies, Scarface (Al Pacino) and The Godfather's (Al Pacino). I love this two movies because they really put together the elements that make the best American movies, guns, blood and naked women. Seriously, every movie made that has those three elements is a success, no matter how dumb it is. For example, Miami Vice, Bad Boys 1 and 2, Tropic Thunder, etc. The list is endless, and why? Because people just don't get bored of those elements, especially not men. Plus all those movies have somehow left their mark in history, for example, who doesn't know the Bad Boy's theme song? Or who's never heard of the line "Say hello to my little friend" from Scarface? Or the part when Robert Downey Jr says "I'm a dude, playing a dude, disguised as another dude" in Tropic Thunder. Everybody knows those lines because of the huge success those movies had. And that success didn't come out of anywhere, and I wonder from where it did; because I don't know who the genius was that realized that the only things that drive people to see movies are guns, blood and naked women, and decided that instead of just making a movie about just guns, or blood or naked women, he decided to put them all together. The result of that superhuman idea were movies like Scarface and The Godfathers, which have turned themselves to icons of American movies. Those two movies are really good because although they both have the three magical elements, they're at the same time very different movies. Apart from those elements the only thing they have in common is Al Pacino, but everything else is different. Because the life of a Cuban drug dealer that recently immigrated into the United Sates is very different than the life of the recent turned leader of the Corleone Mob family. But nonetheless these movies have still made their way into my heart and proved to me what it really takes to make a classic. Without them the movie industry would be very different, and I guess nobody would talk about guns, blood and naked women.

To end the entry I just want to state that not only have these movies changed me, the movie industry and finally society, because they showed the public what people really want, in the big screen.
