Write on art work

The choice of an artwork to enjoy is never an easy one . When deciding on this matter , I was looking for an artwork that produced a significant impact on the modern cultural discourse additionally , it should present a deep analysis of society in general and human nature in particular Personally , I firmly believe that cinema is perhaps the most compelling of all the art forms . Consequently , I made a choice to watch and reflect upon the film `Scarface

Scarface , directed by HYPERLINK "http /www .amazon .com /exec /obidos /search-handle-url /index dvd field-dir

ector Brian 20De 20Palma /889512 " Brian De Palma , is a remake of 1932 film by Howard Hawks , but it 's loosely based on it .

Tony is a protagonist , and choosing a `bad guy ' as a protagonist is probably one of the most efficient ways to make the audience reconsider the traditional perceptions of good and evil

Tony 's character is very vivid , and it explains the tragic end of the story . He resorts to extremes and knows no fear his life should have been short and bright . His drug addiction and the uncontrolled desire to rule the world result in paranoia . He is able to get everything he wants - money , power , and a woman - but he doesn 't know where to go next Tony 's character is shown in dynamics , and the conflict is between the power of money v . personal sanity
