09/05: Red Cafe on the Allure of Scarface's Tony Montana
Melena Ryzik of The New York Times' Art Beat has a piece dedicated to the appreciation of Tony Montana, a character portrayed by actor Al Pacino in the movie "Scarface." Red Cafe is quoted.
The style and catchphrases of Mr. Pacino’s Tony Montana proved irresistible. “I appreciated that Tony was loyal to family, very ambitious and wasn’t taking” dirt “from anyone,” the young Brooklyn rapper Red Café said, using an earthier term. “Yet, he still remained suave and confident at all times.”
It was “a world for the fly and flashy,” he added approvingly in an e-mail. “Where money buys you a seat above the law.”
