In 1987, sales of Corona dropped because of a rumour that Mexican brewers were peeing in the beer before shipping it to the U.S. Against the odds, Corona was able to trace the rumour back to its source, a Heineken distributor.

George Miller had his wife Margaret Sixel edit ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’. She had never cut an action film before and Miller said, if it were edited by the usual guys, it would look like "every other action movie we see". She went on to win an Oscar for ‘Best Film Editing’.

Okay, that’s enough information for one day. Have a tremendous and tumultuous Tuesday! I love you all.

Scarface’s Tony Montana vs. Michael Corleone: Which Al Pacino is the Boss of Bosses

https://ift.tt/3haJ9K7

Scarface hadn’t been made when Pete Townshend’s 1974 song “The Punk and the Godfather” came out, but The Godfather certainly had. The Who’s anthem was a musical allegory about the rock scene, but the lyrics might as well be interpreted as a conversation between Michael Corleone and Tony Montana. Possibly right before they rumble.

Al Pacino played both men in both movies, and in each film, he begins the story as a punk. But in The Godfather, at least, he grows into the establishment. Michael becomes don. Tony was a shooting star on the other hand, one on a collision course with an unyielding atmosphere. Both roles are smorgasbords of possibilities to an actor, especially one who chased Richard III to every imaginable outcome. Each are also master criminals. But which is more masterful?

The obvious answer would seem to be Michael Corleone because he turned a criminal empire into a multi-billion-dollar international business, and lived to a ripe old age to regret it. Cent’anni, Michael. Tony Montana doesn’t live to see the fruits of his labor, but his career in crime is littered with the successes of excess.

Montana is a hungry, young, loose cannon, just like real-life’s “Crazy” Joe Gallo, who went up against the Profaci family in the street fight which Mario Puzo and Francis Ford Coppola used as inspiration on The Godfather. Gallo stand-in Virgil “The Turk” Sollozzo (Al Lettieri) did a lot of damage while he was trying to muscle in on Don Vito Corleone’s territory, selling white powder. Montana leaves a larger body count in the wake of his cocaine empire career.

Scarface is Pacino’s film. The whole movie is about Tony Montana and his meteoric rise through money, power and women. The Godfather is a mob movie, crowded with top rate talent in an ensemble case, but it belongs to Marlon Brando. While Michael inherits the position by The Godfather, Part II, he shares Godfather roles with Robert De Niro there, and people come away feeling a little sorry for Fredo. Michael isn’t the focus of an entire film until The Godfather, Part III, and by then folks were only distracted by his daughter. Tony Montana owns the screen from the moment it opens until his last splash in the fountain under the “World Is Yours” sign. The picture was his.

Making Your Bones on First Kills

Pacino brings little of the wisdom of his Godfather role to Scarface’s title character. This is by design. Every crime boss has to make his bones. In mafia organizations, real and cinematic, the button men on the street are called soldiers. And every soldier has to go through basic training before they’re ready to earn their button. Michael gets assassination training from his father’s most trusted capo, Pete Clemenza (Richard S. Castellano) before he goes out to enjoy the veal.

Scarface doesn’t give us many details of the crimes Tony was involved in while still in Cuba, so he makes his cinematic bones executing General Emilio Rebenga in the American detention camp for Cuban refugees. The two scenes are polar opposites in all ways but suspense.

When Michael is sitting at the dinner table with Sollozzo and Police Captain McCluskey (Sterling Hayden), he lets Sollozzo do all the talking, easing him into comfort before pulling the trigger. Tony barely lets Rebenga get a whimper in during his first onscreen hit, which plays closer to an execution. Tony covers the sounds of his own attack with a chant he himself begins. It is a brilliant overplay, especially when compared to another scene that resembles The Godfather, with Tony killing a mid-level gangster and a crooked cop towards the end of Scarface.

A major difference between the two roles is best summed up in a line Tony says in Scarface. He learned to speak English by watching James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart. Montana comes from the Cagney tradition of broad gangster characterizations. In The Godfather, Kay Adams (Diane Keaton) asks Michael if he’d prefer Ingrid Bergman. The young soldier has to think about it. This is because Pacino is miles removed here from Bogart, who played Bergman’s lover in Casablanca. Pacino’s two gangster icons approached their criminality differently, and Pacino gets to play in both yards.

Pacino remains on an even keel in the Godfather films, but gives a tour de force of violent expression in Scarface, which burns like white heat.

The Handling of Enemies and Vices

In Scarface, Pacino gets to be almost as over the top as he is in Dick Tracy. His accent would never make it past the modern culture board at The Simpsons, but he pulls it off in 1983 because he says so. Pacino bullies the audience into believing it. It’s that exact arrogance which makes us root for Tony Montana. We don’t want to be on his bad side. But the chilled reptilian stare of Michael Corleone is a visual representation of why Sicilians prefer their revenge served cold.

Michael is diabetic, and is usually seen drinking water in The Godfather films. Sure, he has an occasional glass or red wine, and possibly some Sambuca with his espresso, but Michael always keeps a clear head. Tony, not so much. He makes drunken scenes at his favorite nightclubs, and not only gets high on his own supply, but gets so nose deep in it he develops godlike delusions of superheroic grandeur.

Montana is impulsive, instinctive, and decisive. Tony kills his best friend Manny Ribera (Steven Bauer) immediately upon finding him with his little sister Gina (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). Michael waits until his sister Connie (Talia Shire) is on a plane to Tahoe before he has her husband killed in a hit years in the planning. Later Michael hangs his head silently as the shotgun blast which kills his brother, Fredo (John Cazale), echoes in the distance.

Tony, meanwhile, continues yelling at Sosa’s right-hand man long after his brains are all over the automobile’s interior.

Clothes Make the Man

Tony is written to be charismatic. Even coked out of his mind, he’d be a better fit in Vegas with Fredo’s crowd than with wet blanket Michael in Tahoe. Tony sports white suits, satin shirts, and designer sunglasses. Michael accessorizes three-piece ensembles with an ascot. This isn’t to say Michael had any issues with getting somebody’s brains splattered all over his Ivy League suit.

Designed by Theadora Van Runkle, Michael preferred dupioni silk. That’s smart. The dark navy wool chalk-stripe suit Tony wears in his death scene was designed by Tommy Velasco and carries the class of a tuxedo. It was after 6pm. What do you think he is, a farmer?

“I’m the guy in the sky, flying high, flashing eyes. No surprise I told lies, I’m the punk from the gutter,” Roger Daltrey belts out on “The Punk and The Godfather.” This is exactly against the no-flash advice Frank Lopez (Robert Loggia) tries to impart on his young protégé in Scarface. Tony was raised not to take any advice other than his own. He also ignores his consigliere’s advice on several occasions. When Manny reminds Tony the pair of them were in a cage a year ago, the rebel gangster says he’s trying to forget that, he’s going after the boss’ girl.

“I come from the gutter,” Montana proudly contends. “I know that. I got no education but that’s okay. I know the street, and I’m making all the right connections.”

By contrast, Michael attended Dartmouth College and then dropped out to join the Marines after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Michael is both intelligent and well-connected, loosely modeled on Joseph Bonanno and Vito Genovese. He also accepts the wisdom of his father, who most closely resembled “The Prime Minister” of New York’s Five Families in the 1950s, mafia boss Frank Costello.

The Better Family Man

Pacino’s Don Michael Corleone has access to all his family’s connections, stretching back to the old world. He learns to expertly pull the strings of powerful men, like his father did, but as he grew, he bent. Michael is friends with senators, meets with the President of Cuba, has money in the Vatican, and confesses his sins to a Pope. Michael was insulated throughout his childhood and criminal career. If Tony gets in trouble, he has to get out of it himself, or with the help of a handful of low-level operatives.

Michael is the family rebel, risking his life and getting medals for strangers. He also gets to be both the prodigal son and the dutiful son. He gets the fatted calf and pays the piper. He even tips the baker’s helper for the effort. Michael comes back to both of his families, crime and birth, with a vengeance. He is there for his father the moment he is needed. Michael is the better family man. Tony’s mother is ashamed of him, and he completely ruins his sister’s wedding. Michael’s family means everything to him, and while he still manages to lose them, he actually maneuvers his two families well over rough waters for a very long run.

Tony Montana is the rebel’s rebel. Even before he tosses off his bandana at the dishwasher job to make a quick score, we knew. He was born bad, in the cinematically good way. This also makes Montana a natural at crime. In The Godfather, Michael has it in his blood as a Corleone, but has his heart set on college, a straight career, and a shot to bring his whole family into the American Dream, which for Montana only exists as a wet dream.

Tony never gets past the hormonal teenage phase of his love of America. He wants to love his new country to death. He is turned on by the dream. He wants to take it. Not earn it. No foreplay necessary, as he claims his latest victim’s wife as his own.

Managerial Skills

Michael is pretty good with his underlings, when he’s not having them garroted on the way to an airport or advising them to slit their wrists in a bath. He promises Clemenza he can have his own family once the Corleones relocate to Las Vegas. He lets Joe Zaza (Joe Mantegna) get away with murder as the guy he sets up to run his old territory in The Godfather, Part III. Michael doesn’t keep turncoats like his trusted caporegime Tessio (Abe Vigoda) around for old times’ sake, and he doesn’t suffer fools at all. It may seem he cuts Tom Hayden (Robert Duvall) loose a little fast, and without warning or due cause. But if he was a wartime consigliere, he would have seen it coming.

While Tony Montana may have a competitive and fast-tracked entry program for new workers (“hey, you got a job”), he’s also the guy who shoots his right-hand man Manny for marrying his sister. Tony exacts a brutal and dangerous revenge for the death of his friend Angel Fernandez in the Miami chainsaw massacre, but doesn’t lift a finger when his cohort Omar Suarez (F. Murray Abraham) is hanged to death from a helicopter by drug lord Alejandro Sosa (Paul Shenar). Michael does have a tendency to have his soldato kiss his ring, but he’s not entirely a .95 caliber pezzonovante.

Scarface: Where Tony Montana Went Wrong

By Tony Sokol

Movies

The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone Proves a Little Less is Infinitely More

By Tony Sokol

One of the most important skills a boss must exhibit is how to delegate, and Corleone is a minor Machiavellian master at his delegation. He whispers orders from behind closed doors. Tony is more hands-on. The only reason he tells Manny to “kill that piece of shit” Frank is because he’s already humiliated his former boss into a shell of a real man.

Montana is in the trenches with his soldiers and sets standards by example. He shoots a guy on a crowded Miami street in broad daylight. Montana is a born triggerman and only reluctantly delegates the duty. He has 10 bodyguards when Sosa men raid his mansion fortress. He takes the invading force with one little friend, an M16A1 rifle with a customized grenade launcher. But it sure doesn’t help the employees getting murdered outside.

A Handle on Finances

We don’t know what kinds of criminal activities the Corleone family were involved in between 1958 and 1979. Still, Michael had proven himself a traditionalist and a bit of a prude, so he spends most of his career shaving his take from harmless vices and avoiding drugs, which he sees as a dirty business. But through whatever means, by The Godfather, Part III, Michael has earned enough capital to buy himself out of crime.

Michael gambles successfully on Wall Street, keeps the Genco olive oil company going, and invests in hotels, casinos, and movie studios. He’s got to be pulling in a billion dollars a year in legitimate business. He makes enough to pad the coffers of the Vatican, and his share of Immobiliare stocks pulls in another $1 billion.

Tony looks like he’s earning about $15 million a month. But it doesn’t look like he puts much stock in his future. He makes no investments, only purchases. His only visible holding is the salon his sister works in. But we also have to take into account that he built his empire from scratch. Michael inherited his. And while the head of the Corleone family can blackmail a U.S. senator with a tragic sex scandal, Montana fares no better than Al Capone with tax evasion.

Who Would Win in a Mob War?

Scarface is as violent as the 1932 Howard Hawk original. Blood is a big expense, and 42 people are killed in the 1985 film. It came out amid other over-the-top action blockbusters like First Blood and the contemporary reality of the South American drug trade. So, it would seem, the film has far more violence. But they are easily matched.

The Godfather has a horse’s head, Scarface has a chainsaw. Michael’s brother Sonny (James Caan) gets machine gunned to smithereens at the toll booth, Tony blows the lower limbs off his would-be assassins at a nightclub. Omar is lynched in a chopper, the upper echelon of the mob is taken out by helicopter fire in The Godfather, Part III. Tony and Michael each get to kill a cop.

Both mob figures survive assassination attempts. Michael loses his wife Apollonia in Sicily in a car bombing meant for him. He also avoids the trap Tessio sets at the meeting with Emilio Barzini (Richard Conte), on his turf, where Michael “will be safe.” Tony lives through his initial professionally ordered hit, as well as being saved by Manny from certain death by chainsaw.

While Michael Corleone is able to take care of Barzini, Victor Stracci, Carmine Cuneo, and Phillip Tattaglia – the leadership of the five families – at the end of The Godfather, Tony Montana can only put up a good fight. The Corleone family would win in a protracted war against Montana’s cartel, but there is a possibility Tony would have outlived Michael while the battles raged. Expert swordsmen aren’t afraid to duel the best in the field, but they’re scared of the worst.

As far as crime tactics and strategic villainy, Michael Corleone plays a game of chess. Tony Montana plays hopscotch. He wins by skipping cracks in the street, but he only rises as far as the pavement.

New Post has been published on SCRATCHTHEBLOCK

New Post has been published on http://scratchtheblock.com/scratchtheblock-presents-eye-for-a-eye-music-for-hip-hop-lovers/

SCRATCHTHEBLOCK PRESENTS: EYE FOR A EYE (MUSIC FOR HIP-HOP LOVERS)

As great great great hip-hop addicted , we selected for you dope hip-hop pieces.

According to our editorial policy, we spread hot joints from renowned hip-hop artists but we also give the proper space to undeground/indipendent performers that surely deserve your attention!

So , allow us to introduce to you Eye For A Eye – Music For Hip-Hop Lovers.

LIGHTHEADED – SURPRISE CYPHER II

To introduce the first piece of this selection we gonna do a step back in the 2005 when a hip-hop trio dropped via Los Angeles label Tres Records the stunning EP Timeless under the moniker Lightheaded.

The group consists of rappers Braille, Othello and producer Ohmega Watts .

Together they combined their passion for the “Golden Age” hip-hop with a massive dose a flavorful soul and jazzy sonorities.

We selected the extra-soulful cut called Surprise Cypher II arranged by Ohmega Watts which used a sample of the immortal J.Dilla.

DIAMOND DISTRICT – AIN’T OVER

After launching the debut album entitled In The Ruff in 2009 , Diamond District gave to the world anotha proof of their musical chemistry with da sophomore project called March On Washington released three years ago via Mello Music Group.

Washington representatives yU, Uptown X.O and Oddisee make us go crazy with a project that sounds solid from start to finish and the impressive track called Ain’t Over it’s a pure form of brilliance blending the sample of Marvin Gaye and Isaac Hayes.

Two months later Mello Music Group released an exclusive version of March On Washington focused on stunning revisitations handled by great masterminds such as Apollo Brown, Diamond D, Nottz and Large Professor among others.

Recently Oddisee launched his new album called The Iceberg

OMNISCENCE – RAW FACTOR 2.0 (PRODUCED BY DEBONAIR P)

He comes straight from North Carolina and his bars are raw and hot like fire! We’re talking about Yul Hanner better known by the stage name Omniscence which dropped in 2012 the supa-dupa-track called Raw Factor 2.0 .

The superlative cut was sumptuously produced by australian DJ/producer Debonair P and ….damn….it’s something epic that you should include in your own hip-hop music collection.

HDBEENDOPE – FAKE THE FUNK (PRODUCED BY WIL MADDEN)

Three years ago New Jersey producer Wil Madden released Sal’s Famous .

Inspired by Spike Lee movie Do The Right Thing , Mr. Madden cooked a serious of outstanding beats unveiling a particular penchant for the hip-hop old-school and for the luminaries such as Pete Rock,DJ Premier,J.Dilla,Nujabes.

The beat called Sal’s Famous finds its storyteller through the microphone of Brooklyn rapper HDBeenDope , which takes advantage of Wil Madden beat to record the boom-bap piece Fake The Funk , included on his work The Greay(t) Area dropped in 2015

MELLOW MAN ACE FEAT. DRES AND MIKEY D – I LIVE FOR THE FUNK (PRODUCED BY CAZAL ORGANISM)

Los Angeles label Ultra Slump Records recruited two years ago veteran rapper Mellow Man Ace to unleash the project called The Lost Decade.

Packed with some of the most interesting acts of the hip-hop scene such as Slimkid3 (Pharcyde),Jarobi (A Tribe Called Quest) , Mndsgn , the album gave us a hot piece entitled I Live For The Funk.

The effervescent charisma of Mellow Man Ace meets for the occasion Andre Titus aka Dres (Blacksheep) and MC Mikey D (Main Source) to spit solid bars over the beats wisely cooked by Mellow Man Ace son Cazal Organism , which uses the sample of Biggie Small Machine Gun Funk .

CUNNINLYNGUISTS FEAT. PHONTE AND WITCHDOCTOR – YELLOW LINES

Dirty Acres is the fourth album by underground hip-hop group CunninLynguists , released in 2007 and probably (in our humble opinion) the magnum opus from their impressive discography!!

When we think about southern hip-hop flava ,names such as Outkast,Big K.R.I.T,Geto Boys,Bun B,Goodie Mob,Curren$y,Paul Wall spring to mind!

But wait…we can’t forget Kno, Deacon the Villain and Natti …yessir!

These three gentleman , known as CunninLynguists continue to wave the flag of true and genuine hip-hop music flexing brilliant skills in terms of beats, tempos, instrumentation, song moods and lyrical depth. We selected the mellow piece entitled Yellow Lines featuring one of our favorite rapper Phonte Coleman and Witchdoctor. Two months ago , CunninLyinguists released a new EP called The Rose

BAMBOO BROS – STAY HIGH

Put together the sharp rhymes of Jorge Alvarez aka Kurious and the hard-hitting beats masterfully produced by New York City multi-talented artist Dave Dar…and here is the sound of Bamboo Bros.

In 2011 Bamboo Bros dropped the compelling American Jibaro that received positive reviews from influential media such as Okayplayer and HipHopDx.

We want to serve you up what we consider as the centerpiece of the entire opus: Stay High.

Catchy,feel-good vibes,head-nodding rhythms , Stay High is definitely a summer anthem!

MC EIHT – STREIHT UP MENACE

In 1993 directors Allen and Albert Hughes debuted with the drama film Menace II Society.

The official soundtrack was really dope with jams from Boogie Down Production,Pete Rock, Brand Nubian,DJ Quik,Too Short and Mc Eiht!

Oh yes, Mc Eiht gave to the rap history a piece that today echoes in the heart of every true hip-hop lovers!

We’re talking about the milestone Streiht Up Menace co-produced by Mc Eight himself

CAMP LO – SUGAR STREETS (PRODUCED BY SKI BEATZ)

Bronx duo Camp Lo earned their stripes in 1997 dropping a classic hip-hop album entitled Uptown Saturday Night entirely produced by DJ Clark Kent protegé David Willis aka Ski Beatz.

Ski is definitely an authority and with his top-notch productions he had a relevant role to push hip-hop music to high standard of quality in particular from 1995 to the present day working along side Bahamadia, Jay-Z,Lil Kim,Fat Joe,Big Pun and the list goes on and on!

But wait..raise your hand if you have nodded your head listening to Luchini or Coolie High!

Well, recently Camp Lo launched via Persia Records da project called On The Way Uptown , a series of demos designed to be the foundation for the group’s debut album.

Scratchtheblock.com celebrates the legacy of Camp Lo spinning the hot track called Sugar Streets produced by hip-hop mogul Ski Beatz which used the sample of da iconic Feel Like Making Love by Bob James.

SAD FEAT. SLUM VILLAGE AND DJEMEIA – NOTHING LEFT TO SAY (MELODIESINFONIE REMIX)

The most interesting aspect of hip-hop music is the capability to merge together different cultures,different way to live life! We think is always cool and stimulating to see artists from different places collaborating to create something good through a fruitful connection of musical perspective and approach. Internet changed the rules of the game,giving to artists the keys to break the territorial boundaries and even though United States remains the cradle of hip-hop culture par excellence , we can assert european producers and rappers as well singers are doing incredible things (sometimes bringing back the 90s flow). Norwegian rapper Ivan Ave collaborated with San Diego incredible producer MNDSGN, german beatmaker FloFilz enlisted one of the most respected emcee of L.A underground hip-hop scene,Blu , german producers JR&PH7 recruited Phonte Coleman,danish producer Kriswontwo worked alongside Georgia Anne Muldrow,Oh No and MED , Ol’Burger Beats teamed up with J.Dilla’s brother Illa J , super producer RZA produced a great song for swedish songstress Snoh Alegra and the list of international collaborations goes on & on. Now we’d like to recommend to our fans the interesting work produced by bernese hip-hop producer SAD featuring Slum Village entitled Slow . The compelling work was released via Mouthwatering Records and it was followed by a remix project with treatment remixes from Ruck’n’Wiz , Shuko and Melodiesinfonie. The bright beatmaker Melodiesinfonie recalibrates the track called Nothing Left To Say featuring neo-soul singer Djemeia , adding his remarkable signature supa-mellow touch!
