Al Pacino Thanks Rappers For Loving 'Scarface' Witness 71-year-old Al Pacino's adorable analysis of the 2003 documentary "Scarface: Origins of a Hip-Hop Classic," in which the likes of Snoop, Nas and Diddy wax eloquent on "Scarface." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/25/al-pacino-scarface-rappers_n_937116.html The hip-hop people and the rappers got together and they made a video and they talked about the movie. I don't think anybody's ever talked about it as articulately and clearly. I understood it better having heard them talk about it...I mean, they really get it and they understand it, and that's a great thing. They've been very supportive all these years. I think they've helped us tremendously. Pacino aired his thoughts to MTV News during a release party this week for the Blu-Ray version of Scarface, which is due out early next month. No word on whether he thinks his next movie looks as bad as we do. -------------------------------------------------------------------- UUUHhhmm ok....why ? good movie yes but should it be put on as an icon of a movie, especially for blacks?
Oliver Stone's words and Pacino's acting made the flick a fave of rappers. No question the Cubans liked it too.
Al Pacino's a classic! He's opened doors for many different brands of music!!! [YOUTUBE]cxCSJ3VZgyY[/YOUTUBE]
Meh I liked it as a teenager but I recently saw it not too long ago and man, it hasn't aged well. Pacino is clownin in it though(overacts like a motherfucker but funny nevertheless). No where near as good as Goodfellas though.
The Cubans hated it. ------------------ Personally....I LOVED IT. I read the book, too. The first time I saw it was with a new date and remember being just mesmerized...so much so the next day I went back alone to watch it again I was so smitten. :smt060
They had to film large portions of it in California because they were worried about a Cuban boycott of the film. The C.A.N.F. was all over them when this came out.
