THE WORLD IS YOURS

There is a thin line between “passion” and “ambition”. Passion is usually driven by heart and mostly ends up great. On the other hand, ambition is usually driven by lust and mostly ends up in disaster. His name was Tony Montana (Al Pacino), but the world knew him as the Scarface. Being a powerful gangster who succeeded in reaching the American Dream, there’re lots of things we could learn from him. Don’t forget that we can learn not only from the wise or the successful, but also from the wicked or from the one who had shattered life.

This fantastic movie by Brian De Palma tells a story about a Cuban refugee named Tony Montana along with his close friend Manny Ribera (Steven Bauer) who managed to set their feet in the United States. It’s the land where millions of opportunities awaited. They started a small time job together until they were hired by Omar Suarez, who happened to be in the dirty business, to do a dangerous job. Unfortunately the job went wrong but Tony and Manny managed to get away with lots of money and succeeded in accomplishing their mission. Omar’s boss, Frank Lopez was very pleased with Tony’s work and recruited him along with Manny to work for him.

The path in the dirty business went smooth for Tony and he quickly climbed to the top with lots of money filling his pockets. Manny seemed satisfied with the current condition, but apparently Tony had something else on his mind. He wanted more… and more… He wanted what’s coming to him, the world, and everything in it – truly a big ambition for small time gangster like him at that time.

But Tony found his way around pretty fast. He even had many quarrels with his boss, Frank, cause he always chose to play safe. So Tony began to take decisions by himself and set his eyes on the pretty but dangerous Elvira Hancock (Michelle Pfeiffer) for a wife. Finally when his boss gave orders to Tony, he replied, “The only thing in this world that gives orders is “Balls”. Do you have “Balls?” What happened next is only for you to see…

Tony’s power began to grow, and so did his ego and paranoia. Could he handle “The world and everything in it”? The man who wants too much may not get what he really wants. But a man who wants too little might not get anything at all… How about you? Do you really want to get the world and everything in it?
