De Palma said the movie is a ‘metaphor of the madness that can take hold in a capitalist world where greed is a driving force’, adding: ‘The more dehumanised the world we live in, the more we have to deny our feelings, otherwise we’re crushed.’
Pacino has said Scarface is the most lucrative of his own movies and it would be possible for him to live from its earnings alone, even today - though it was critically mauled and far from a box office success when it was released.
@speckledband well it was a great movie!
