Entry#4 A Scare to the Face

    Another day, Another blog. What's going on guys, we're back at it again. I love typing and talking about things I enjoy. I love watching movies more than shows usually. I can't keep up with too many episodes, I'll end up losing track if it's not in one sitting.

    My favorite movie I've watched so far was scarface. It has taught me so many lessons that I've never noticed or paid attention to. I've watched it a couple of times now, one with my brother and another time with all my friends.  One thing about scarface that was thoughtful is the unchecked ambition and his hunger for power that made him leave his job at the restaurant, washing dishes. He felt like he was at his lowest in life. He needed money, he was hungry for USD. Growing up in Cuba, with no dad, he had to be the family man making money and feeding his sister and mom. Ideas stared to eat his brain. Too much brainstorming comes with consequences. He continued to have a dream of having a bigger role in his life but his inability to set limits to himself ended up being the opposite towards what he was trying to achieve as it led to his downfall and not keeping what he had because of greed and led to becoming in a loss of everything he owned.

    

    Loyalty was another big thing in scarface where it showed the relationship between tony and manny. Many was his day one friend that went through the same thing Tony went through.  Their overthinking and paranoia that led them to make enemies out of people that weren’t a threat.  Another important thing that stood out for Tony was that in his world, betrayal was present and can happen anytime and that led to mistrusting and ended up isolated by himself. Prime example is when . Manny, his bestfriend, got with Tony's sister. Manny taking that step made tony angry to the point where he shot and killed his own friend. Family comes first in every world.

    Another thing was how having power without self control can turn very bad quickly and just like the saying with great power comes great responsibility, Tony’s gain of wealth and influence affected him in a way where he lost himself by becoming addicted to drugs which made him lose that mental and emotional control over what he owned that made him end up in losing what he owned. All those business deals he messed out on.
