Scarface

[Rev. Rye]

Honestly, I have similar thoughts about A Clockwork Orange, which I actually consider my favorite film of all time. It's the last third that really makes it. Fun fact: a few weeks ago, I saw a kid of about ten with a copy of the DVD at the library. I was not sure whether to congratulate his taste or to worry about his mental state (although he was apparently familiar with Jonestown). Maybe if I asked
Him about the ending, I might have had my answer.

That movie disturbed me even as much as "I Spit On Your Grave". 

If you take movies just as that sure, one can get into them. But no matter what, they are never reality.

In real life most sane people would not want a Tony Montana living next to them.

Presumably, ACO disturbing you as much as "I Spit on Your Grave" points to two options: 1) The prospect that, in a given conflict, all sides can ultimately be equally monstrous (honestly, my big takeaway from the film) or 2) You're probably really sheltered when it comes to cinematic violence. Maybe by 1971's standards, it was exceptionally violent, even though it's not even the most violent film made that year by a critically-acclaimed expatriate director whose previous film won a single Oscar at the 41st Academy Awards (see: Polanksi's Macbeth).
