Pacino and Nadal
I like "the little bird in his head" analogy...very fitting...and true. I'm not so forgiving as you, however. Plenty grow up on the wrong side of the tracks and turn out outstanding people...it can never be an excuse for anyone. Having said that, being as daft as a brush is a fairly good excuse.
Yes, it was a good film Scarface. Just a shame Pacino seemed to adopt that "shouting and bawling" role for all his films thereafter (or at last all the films of his I having seen). I really liked the more quiet, highly intelligent, piercing, calculating role he played in the Godfather. Shame he never came to play such a sophisticated part in any of his subsequent films. He was really good at it. He learnt a lot from Brando making that film.
Can't get into Shanghai yet....it's really all about the slams for me. I miss Nadal to liven things up.
