I can't understand how it can sound exciting and suspicious, uplifting and depressing all at the same time. This is a masterpiece, and a proper way to start a movie and keep your audience sticked to screen even after just a few minutes into it.
This theme captures the entire feeling of the era. It incapsulates the craziness of the Mariel Boat Lift, the uncertainty of thousands of people leaving their homeland behind, the fear of traveling 90 miles of open water, the nervousness, but also the excitement, the hopeful optimism of feeling opportunity for the first time in your life. It also captures the aura of Miami in the 1980s, the gangsters, the drugs, the violence, the money. It’s the perfect way to start a movie. In one song, one scene of real footage from the Boat Lift, the entire movie is set up.

It's a remake of "Scarface" (1932), a film about the Mafia. The two have a lot of similarities, but there are major differences due to the different time periods the two films were made (This film deals with cocaine, the '32 version deals with alcohol distribution during the Prohibition).
@@lukedaley17 Not just UK, Canada too. It's also on Amazon Prime Video which I don't know if UK has . I personally own the bluray disc of the movie for two years now.
I watched this movie in the theater when I was 10 years old...questionable parenting I admit. This theme song left an impression on me even then...The ultimate 80s bad ass intrumental. You can literally feel the lifestyle through it.
"Straight thugs on this side, it's do or die.." ~ Havoc, Mobb Deep 😭🖤 by the time I watched this film in the 1990s as a teen, I had heard countless rap lyrics about the character of Scarface and many songs sampling this theme, famous lines and scenes from the movie. But for the film itself, I was not ready, totally blown away to this day by this master piece.
Film Freak Yes, but the difference is that it’s a lot easier to remake an *early 1900s* film and have it be better than to remake a *late 1900s* film and have it be better
Film Freak Double-Standards man. Back in the 80's society was apparently entitled and allowed to do anything they wanted without facing criticism, whereas today you can't do anything at all without someone nitpicking or being critical due to the fact that people forgot how to live life. That's the Millennial generation in a nutshell, they have this ridiculous unrealistic way of thinking where they think certain periods of films are like "hallowed ground". I'm not crazy about Scarface getting a SECOND remake either, but the hypocrisy of people is pretty amusing to me.
Path Yeah, different because society in the 80's generally just didn't give a damn or were sensitive to a film being remade, whereas today they are because the younger generation are full of crybabies dependent on negativity.
Kosta Cerovic it’s a Cuban UFC Fighter, who is really mad. Ko‘d two people on one night. One in a the cage and one on the post fight interview. His walk in Song was this theme.
+Kill House what I think would be cool is if they make the new film out to be a remake, but its really a sequel and Tony Montana returns as a supporting character. Supposedly the new film is about a Mexican trying to rise up in the crime world, sounds pretty boring to me, why not make it a surprise sequel? That would be awesome af.
I was 12 years old and watched this movie. I cannot explain how Al Pacino made my life a little better, i was fascinated by him. Months later i bought the game. That summer was something else
RIP robert loggia aka frank lopez ill always remember you playing frank lopez in scarface and from my childhood in the 90s when you played the col in independence day with will smith god bless you im shocked he died he was a good actor
I remember watching this movie in Key West in 1983, was a remaking of Miami , or for that case the rest of South Florida real life, it gives me goosebumps every time I hear this intro and now going back in memory I was a 17 y/o boy and a witness to that live scene all every where in my life. A remake of this master piece will only do one thing, screw it all up.
That intro with the synth at the very beginning = incredible. There were so many great movies during this time period where physically going to the movie theatre was something you really looked forward to. Feel very fortunate to have participated in real-time. Cheers
Why the fuck are they going to remake this work of art of a movie fucking Hollywood needs to leave it alone it's not broken it doesn't need a remake it's perfect don't touch it 😡😡😡😡
Hollywood has run out of original ideas, so now they're either remaking classic movies or making 80 sequels for other movies. I agree though. Even though this was a remake of the 1932 film, it's still a classic in itself & should be left alone.
LibertyPolak92 IT WOULD BE BADASS IF THEY COULD ACTUALLY MEET THEY COULD GET EACH OTHERS BACKS AND TONY WOULDINT HAVE DIED AT THE END WHEN THE ASSHOLE SHOT HIM WITH THE DOUBLE BARRLED SHOTGUN
A murdering degenerate money hungry primate who most definitely sexed his sister got kilt Lmao yeah real depressing bud!! I'm all broken up over it lol
When I listen to that theme I tell to my self just like you ''very sad they don't make movies like these anymore " what happened to the cinema is a f***ing tragedy
regardless of what you think of him, Masvidal was the guy who got you excited for the fight with his persona as well as the fact that he always tried to go for the knockout. Have a happy retirement. Thanks for making the sport interesting
Teacher: we're going to Miami for a history lessons Girls: yaaaayyyy we gonna have some fun, take pictures, post em on ig and made tik toks on the beach! Boys:
A lot of UFC talk here, Anyone else here just to enjoy a beautiful masterpiece by Giorgio Moroder cause you appreciate this movie and song? Cause I am.
Oh trust me there are plenty of Tony Montana's lol. They all die stupidly too. Tony is a hero for the low level, even lower IQ crash test dummies in the game
With the exception of Elvira, who was smart enough to get out in time, and Tony's mom; everyone in Tony's orbit died, its sad. It was and is hard to watch but its so addictive cant help but watch it from time to time
s hudson we saw a 6 days notice out of shape masvidal that still made it 5 rounds with usman who had been training since february. absolutely yes he can.
@@goblue1997 dont forget he defended some of the craziest takedowns that a professional wrestler like tyron couldnt. He was also outstriking usman even when tired. Also the reason he couldnt get out of the clinch was because he had bad cardio, which he usually doesnt, i mean he kept a pace with nate so that says alot. Agreed with you my bro
This is one of the best things out of one of the most brilliant movies ever.Hearing it for the first time,booming out of the speakers in the 80's,in a dark theater,must've been breathtaking;a near religious experience.The viewers knew something incredible was about to happen.
I have a serious problem I want to hear this song and then when I listen to it i have to watch scarface! Its currently 4am and I have work in the morning... Oh well who needs sleep anyway
God, this intro is so badass & perfect. I remember watching it for the first time and just being stunned from the moment the intro synth plays, the lead slowly ascending and descending pitch, preparing the viewer for themes of melancholy, loss, victory, and balls. The tragedy aspect is also cemented with the accompanying choir bit to the intro, the same way Scorsese utilized an opera to illustrate the rise and fall of Sam Rothstein in Casino, especially just after being, "blown up". Visually, we see nothing more than a text crawl, but it really works. It's haunting almost, but beautiful and triumphant to see the raw establishment of an actual historical event coming to fruition. I believe the intro does its part in solidifying how this real event effected our protagonist, Tony, as we hear the same root of notes, or variants of the same composition from the beginning of the film, to the end of it, the same way Nino Rota's Godfather theme was developed. As the intro synth closes, in comes the simple yet effective fade of Castro's speech denouncement and intention to get rid of the aggressors in his plan. I can't quite put my finger on it, but the exact chords that strike, the moment Castro begins speaking just seem to go hand in hand. We're plunged right into the energized pace of the film with the latter of the theme, contrasting with further shots of the Cuban immigration wave coming to America, beautifully edited, I might add, with aptly timed shots of the Opening credits that appear on screen just at the proper moment, without interrupting from the film. Just beautiful. Great work on Moroder's part, his score, along with the rest of the film is sorely underrated in my opinion, even for the admiration it does receive.
Loved this track, loved this theme song, it's so much different than most films at the time, it actually sounds lo-fi and out of an Italian Exploitation Horror film or something. Sets the tone for what we're about to watch so well.
