Impact
Tony Montana or Al Pacino has become idolized by many fans and his character has marked a legacy that has been active for 45 years. But why? What is it about Tony Montana that people like? Is it his ambition? His ruthlessness and charisma? Or is it his story? The reality is everything. Everything from the cinematography, the plot and the character development of the movie is very engaging. I think that he also inspires people because of the “rags to riches” story that the movie goes for. Tony Montana has become an icon around the world, so much that people have even started to pray to him. Scarface has left a mark in the movie industry and will forever be considered a classic.
