Carlito's Way | Benny Blanco From the Bronx 

Top 10 movie of all time no doubt

Nah you got ‘The Rock’ nowadays what do you mean? 🤣 Such a bad actor… But yeah movies like this won’t come often, directing, acting, Even cinematography and music…

NO THEY DONT NOT THIS OR SCARFACE

​​@@DarkKnight15789There will NEVER be another David Kleinfeld! Big props to David Koepp who wrote the screenplay (based on a novel but I can't remember who wrote it). Legendary film ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Put Donnie Brasco in there too. As near to cinematic perfection as possible.

And Devil's Advocate

​@@hulkfan97He said 3 year span. Devil's Advocate is not in that span, nor is it as good as the other 3

@@BroodallyHonest Jeez sorry I misread. I just really enjoyed that movie. My favorite performances of his are from Devil's Advocate and Scent of a Woman

Wow just wow, a true master of his craft. Timeless films.

90s Pacino is the greatest.

Never me!

That was a good one !

This movie has so many good lines. I like "alright jackson beat it". Or "dont make me do it Clienfelld" "you make me raise my voice again ill snap your neck like a breadstick".

​@@martindivaMy favorite line was "You ah gangster now, there's no school for this and you can't get a late start"..

@dillonsolanki4986 "Remember me Benny Blanco from the Bronx", or "they made me do it" I can't hump you know" lol just do it just kill me. My favorite might be the lime pits already dug and from in here just one button I push.

I salute you.

He is special, in Scent of a Woman he took it to a whole new level.

👏👏👏👏

Never me,Never me

Stop licking, and pushing some shit

Not really. When you grasp what the film is saying, you realize that "dirtbags" make up the majority.

Casualties of War Dirtbag City

He was a punk in the warriors also. Very similar charecter

"It's like I'm playing myself"

@@trhoades2063 nah, that wasn't sean penn... but they totally look the same lol

Good point, pride and ego, will fuck you up in the end. Or keep you ill 🤧

It had nothing to do with pride he didn’t respect him even street dudes have principals and integrity Benny didn’t have any of that carlito was a old school guy who values respect and integrity benny was new school that didn’t value any of that so that right there was the problem not pride because if it was pride he would’ve killed him in that alley

@@robgrant5272 yeah Benny B would’ve probably killed Carlito anyway, “law of the jungle.”

I always said that SAME thing for years.

Being 1 foot in and 1 foot out is what got Carlito killed. Same thing that killed Tony Montana.

😂 ikr, poor guy!!

Envoy trying to prevent a war 👀😂 not part of his job detail ..✋🏼

His tips must b great

theres no such thing like "anxiety" in reality kiddo.

I didn't get a tip

That’s facts

"Ahh; he's a nickel bagger." *LMAO!*

"never me"

Nah bro don’t even say that now and days these kids corny

Not me, never me..

He should’ve given Benny the “Batwing” when he grabbed at the foot of the stairs

Hey bennnnyyy, que pasooo? 🤷‍♂️

@jay bruno I love Luiz. A cop, train robber, cook, no-good thug who betrays poor Carlito.... He's brilliant in any role

@jay bruno No doubt 🤜🤛

True. Glad he's got that gig in Addams Family.

True story 💯

Great lines

Don Corleone had a late start and he rose to the very top of the American underworld criminal empire.

he got softer

Yes ironically his own man gave him up and the guy that he should have killed got him at the end.

On the other hand, he kills Benny and the cops would eventually link his murder to Carlito's Club, then to Carlito and then it's lifetime sentence... So it wasn't an easy choice either way. The best thing to do was not beating up Benny there, and plan to whack him somewhere else, another time.

All Carlito had to do was give that girl to Benny Blanco and accept that bottle of champain! No big deal! The club owner said Benny was a very good customer...

One million %

Yeah, Hollywood has really turned downhill since Covid.

it went downhill wayyyy before that @@Gforcebond

and ...... BRIAN DePALMA - the DIRECTOR. (He directed SCARFACE w Pacino as well)

Agreed.

Touche 💯👀

Loser

I like how he calls the street "She" and "She's always watching," because in the Spanish language, the street is "La calle" and "La" is female. In Spanish, nouns are either male or female. So even though he's speaking English, he still retaining some aspects of his Spanish. :)

@MrB0gart who works the streets at night? women...pimps are always hanging around and the johns chasing p*ssy but it's women's world...woman is referred to for ships too...also the earth mother...charles manson I think once referred to the penitentiary saying 'she's the icebox'...fact is p*ssy is the boss of this world because most men will do anything to get into it...therefore his correlation between the street being a woman watching all the time underpins his understanding of woman being the real boss...also it must be understood that a sexy woman is often the cause of a man being beaten or robbed or killed and arrested and jailed...it's heavy karma...we all got here thru them and they are often the cause of a man's death...this scene is an example...benny could not just let stephie go...he had to push it but she jumped onto another guy like most women do if they look good and are getting male attention whenever they walk (this is why most attractive women are wh*res regardless of their work or how much money they have or how rich or good looking their boyfriend or husband is)...this scene is the most unbelievable of the whole movie...it was absolutely the right thing for benny to be killed and carlito fcked up and then he loses his life because of it at the end of movie before he can escape with his dream woman...if we look deeper we see carlito eventually dies because of a wh*re (stephie) and more directly dies because of not killing benny (gangster) and he is with a good woman and heading to paradise which is out of character for him...reminds me of clint eastwood's dirty harry line "a man has got to know his limitations" meaning who to talk to and who not to...who to get close to and who not to get close to...who to trust and who not to trust...where to hang out and where not to hang out...men who do not know their limitations get into arguements or fights and accidents and wind up in hospital or murdered...these are serious words to live by...I am alive due to buddhism and knowing my limitations

Whiteguy "man"splaining Spanish is an odd move for sure @@markthompson8246

I mean Benny DID warn him. "Better kill me now, OR..."

Exactly

Thanks Tony Soprano

@@marc7983 Nah. I kind of just watched the film😂

I guess you missed the point of the movie his whole objective was to get out of that life that’s the only reason he spared him it wasn’t a mistake on his behalf he was trying to break out of the never ending cycle so I wouldn’t call it a mistake it’s just part of that game.

That is very perceptive of you. Quite a brilliant detail by the director also.

Reminds me of the Vader and Obi Wann Kenobi battle, where Obi Wann tears into Vader’s helmet.

U stole this comment from me but good insight either way lol

Nice observation

Nice observation charlatan!

yes

Why doesn't he make movies anymore?

@@The808Mixmaster probably because nobody appreciates real directing and acting anymore all stupid played out bullshit or CGI or whatever. Hes probably all set unfortunately. But yes he is a true legend.

He’s the best at 70s and 80s psychological thrillers

@@anthonywalski4216 that’s not stopping Martin Scorsese

not to mention the soundtrack, epic!! 👊🏻👍🏻🕺🕺🏿🕺🕺🏿

Godfather

go snatch a purse, go on take a walk

So much good timing

but you are only supposed to say it when someone asks if you remember them. How often does that happen?

@@dontfearthereaper2887 when's hes online acting tough 😅

Regular life quotes? Those are fighting words bro

I love this movie...except the ending

One of the best movies, he should’ve killed Benny

One Of The Best In The Bronx Were It Get Gritty

The fact that they showed light on puerto ricans!! Usually it's the italian mob, black gangsters chicanos whoever

What an underrated movie. The tension slowly builds throughout the whole movie, and you know there can really only be one outcome.

And then there's That's the Way (I Like It). The first few bars sound like a siren, a warning sign that serious trouble is brewing.

Me too

"Maybe I don't remember the last time I blew my nose".

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Gets me every time. 😂😂

“So what’s the problem “😂😂😂

What about Casino, Godfather 1 and 2?

Ahhh the 90s...

Great movies... BAD guys trying to do some good things, However, HOWEVER, not counting the cost...... #=totallife

Summer of Sam was another great 90’s movie with John Leguizamo

Taxi Robert Di Niro,

Makes this movie what?

Nice note!

You missed it entirely, there was a weakness in his eyes and Benny sensed it. Just look how Benny is shot-all red, his eyes pure black, almost demonic. Carlito is shot with the white light covering half his face, his right eye looking bright, almost soft.

I mean If I eva see you here again

Well GGGR was a play really..... more than a movie. But I agree. Still amazes me how not a single female shown in that entire thing. Men of men in a mens world.

Mickey Cohen

Be like the old days be fun be fun!

Love that part

He just wants his 70 grand and get out! :P

Yet Pachanga sold Carlito out to Benny and got him clipped by Benny for greed and Benny killed Pachanga after shooting Carlito because Benny couldn't trust a rat that would betray his own boss and friend. Not only that, but Benny Blanco remembered Pachanga was the one that beat him up in the alleyway and was begging Carlito to kill Benny.

Benny Blanco: Imma buy this guy

The end train station chase and shootout is so much like the train station shootout in the untouchables. DePalma written all over it.

@@anthonywalski4216 Have you seen Dressed To Kill? He did the subway train chase there first.

@@buffythehaterslayer6918 unfortunately I have not. I will now though. Thanks

@@anthonywalski4216 It's a nutty movie, you might enjoy it.

Better teeth And way more swag

@@GORILLA_PIMP Ah man, Freddie had gobs of swag -- just a differ type!

No he’s rocking the Luigi Mario look with the mustache that he should have had in the super Mario bros movie the same year as this film.

Yup! I actually didn't see "Carlito's Way" until 2002,but remember "A La Cama Con Porcel" late nights on channel 47 here in NY,so,just imagine my reaction when I saw him

El gordo Porcel from Argentina

Yes, that was a good show." EN LA CAMA DE PORCEL". I used to watch it here in SouthFlorida, on the Telemundo cannel. He did comedy, sang and i saw him in some Argentinian films. I heard he owned a nice restaurant in Miami. Would have liked to have gone there. RIP, Jorge.

💖🙏

@@joyceyolandastorch8964 thanks yolanda to appreciate the argentine school

@SkyNet General Also in Anger Management. "I told you not to go there"!

One of the greatest character actors ever!

Just like Martin Scorsese and Robert Deniro.

@@misterlexx2721 Not sorry, but Pacino only worked with Scorsese once and it was better than all of the Scorsese/De Niro movies COMBINED.

@jonathanbirch2022 Nah, just telling the truth...

Ok Al Pacino is a better actor we all agree on that but. Scorsese and de niro and pesci in 1 movie? Cmon eh

Brother I will sell my house to invest in you brother! Make that ish happen my dude!

A movie about an older Benny, where he realizes Carlito's Way was right all the time, and some new, even MORE vicious breed of muther fuckers are on the come up. Maybe one of his own kids. Leguizamo is STILL the shit (he was amazing in When They See Us). He'd kill this!

Benny Blanco wasn't "lowly". He was a serious guy and it was apparent. You can't disrespect someone like that and not expect repercussions.

@@ThisHandleWasTheOnly1Available or if you do be prepared to go all the way, no half stepping. There is a reason ancient chinese and roman statesmen practiced clan extermination.

@@ThisHandleWasTheOnly1Available Well.Benny and his crew got hemmed up and pistols in their faces. Him and his crew could have gotten smoked that night.

Carlito never elevated Pachanga or treated him with more money or respect that he deserved for his loyalty who then turned on him for empty promises of power and enrichment which allowed the hit to be successful. And of course he was told "No, you stay here too" by Blanco who then shot him too, tragic ending!

Being nice is one of the reasons he got killed. Too nice to his lawyer, too nice to Benny. Once the lawyer pulled the gun on Benny. Benny and the lawyer had to go. When the lawyer stole from the mob and got Carlito's in the mix the lawyer should have been served to the mob on a platter. Carlito's should have never been on the boat. Carlito's put himself in a position to be a victim. All that nice guy stuff made Pachanga lose respect for him. If Carlito's would have taken care of business his guys would have known not to play with him. He could have retired leave his guy set up to fill his spot. Pachanga's ambition got him killed. No way you humiliate and young up and coming by putting hands on him in public and walk away breathing from that.

Yeah, you had the feeling early on that this guy was bad news and that this decision would come back to bite him.

I always said this in my mind he had the change too 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Would of been great if he found out when Benny was taking him out that was his illegitimate son.

Half Measure.

Yeah for real, though it makes sense for his character but a man with his experience shouldve known he would come back for him.

@Rich Perez You OBVIOUSLY don't know what I've seen out of the movies your pea brain named Training Day was descent. Not going to go back and forth with you so thanks for you opinion. 🤡

Held your attention.

Carlito has been with made people. Connected people. Who Benny Blanco been with?

No he doesnt hate him. He's annoyed by him cus Carlito doesnt respect him. Benny is a wannabe. And to be sweating a guy whose tryna get his life together, is a pain in the ass to an OG like Carlito.

@@MisterMoreno10457 I disagree. He hates Benny simply because he sees himself in him, and he’s ashamed of who he used to be. His past caused him a lot of pain, and Benny reminds him of that. Benny is Carlito 20 years ago just like Pachanga said. He’s ambitious, fearless, tough as nails, a natural leader, smart and doesn’t take shit from anyone. Why do you think he was the one that killled him at the end? He’s taking Carlito’s place. That’s the whole point.

@@MisterMoreno10457 A wannabe that killed his ass, right? 🙄

That’s it? Once a month for me.

simps

He was protecting one of his workers and standing up for his pal Dave, his code got him killed. Benny was a butt hurt purse snatcher, he wasn't going to make Carlito's age.

@@rickstalentedtongue910 respect is an essential element in the life; Carlito allowed his ego to dictate his interaction with Benny. He didnt take him seriously, and figured he’s at a level beyond Benny but failed to remember the come up; coupled with the fact that he was trying to step away from the life altogether. “Aint no such things as halfway crooks”

@@ryangonzalez7177 Informed take, I can see it now. The fact that I agree with him that Benny is an obnoxious punk who needed to be set straight, has nothing to do with the point about what Carlito did wrong. He opened himself up for future problems by creating an adversary.

@@rickstalentedtongue910benny blanco respected carlito way more than dave did at that point but yeah carlito owed dave.

he's just a punk.

"A political refugee."

@Yootube Lamasfk a daca isn’t a refugee

What a guy

Whos got octopus coming out of his freaking ears!

@Yootube Lamasfk You have to go back

He started to think!! He was Mr. Powerful again..totally disrespected Blanco. Could have gave him ten . Minutes...disrespected him..in front of his crew..should have taken him out in the alley..his fatal mistake..

You could argue that he shouldn't have been merciful to Benny Blanco. But, we know from later in the film that Kleinfeld is willing to sell Carlito out to the DA on a drug deal he ASSUMED (but couldn't prove) Carlito did to invest in the club; Kleinfeld would have had a MUCH stronger case against Carlito if Benny had been murdered, considering all the witnesses. What actually killed Carlito was his trust in his friends - he was warned Pachenga had gone over to Benny Blanco's side, he was warned by Gail that Kleinfeld was a piece of ____ who would get him into trouble. Carlito refused to abandon his friends - one implicated him in a Mafia hit that almost killed him, the other gave away his boarding train details to Benny, who did kill him. "Friendship gonna kill you faster than a bullet."

Tony would have mopped the floor with Benny Blanco

@@domingorubies656agree Tony would not take no sh*t from no Frogface like Hector lol 😂

He wouldn't have tried that with Tony Montana, think about it...

Vito would have let luca brasi deal with benny blanco.

He wouldnt have even seen corleone. Hed just be dead.

I thought the same thing. Benny really didn't do anything to carlito. Was over the top

Benny represented the new breed of gangster and Carlito underestimated their ferociousness. He did that all throughout the movie but it wasn't just Benny he had to worry about. It's also the coked up wannabe gangsters like Kline that's big trouble

The same reason old mobsters hated Jackie Junior, Matt Bevalaqua and his friend Sean.

He saw too much of himself in Benny

Gabriel Baynunn They didn’t really hate them though. They were just idiots.

Dude it's seems almost crazier NOW to me than it did back then that penn played this role Just so hard to believe that's him

Same. His character, Kleinfeld, was a coward at heart. And it turns out Kleinfeld was the real enemy. Not Benny. Carlito despised Benny because Benny Blanco was Carlito's younger self in his prime and Carlito hated who he used to be. But underestimated Benny. And it costs him.

He does kill someone lol

Pretends to be a badass? He had 0 hesitation pulling his gun and didn't even flinch with the other gun in his face. Happily killed two guys ok a boat and was laughing about it... He may not have been the most lethal guy but he was 100% about it.

I mean Spanish is a White language. All he had to do is the accent.

As a Puerto Rican I can say that Pacino could totally pass as one of us.

@@Goodlaw86 What's the point? Puerto Rican is not a Race. It's a Nationality. Any White person could pass as Puerto Rican.

Totally.. He owned this role.. Can't think of anyone who could have pulled it off better than him..

Pacino is Sicilian, both groups are practically cousins.

What about Aurelio in John Wick?

He's absolutely disgusting and completely hateable in this role. His character actually makes me sick

@JokersWild70 Indeed! Very convincing as the egotistical sleezebag lawyer. Who will step on anyone to get ahead.

You are a smart girl.. You have very right❤❤❤

Lefty in Donnie Brasco was the last but this movie is tremendous.

He is fucking brilliant on the other side in Heat also

Michael Corleone

In his young man days, Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon were very good non Gangster movies that were based on true life stories.

Yes, this movie was criminally dismissed, the reviewers dropped the ball, this is now a classic.

🤣🤣🤣

Good for him

Yup , they even look alike too

What’s the prequel movie??
