Good point, pride and ego, will fuck you up in the end. Or keep you ill 🤧

It had nothing to do with pride he didn’t respect him even street dudes have principals and integrity Benny didn’t have any of that carlito was a old school guy who values respect and integrity benny was new school that didn’t value any of that so that right there was the problem not pride because if it was pride he would’ve killed him in that alley

@@robgrant5272 yeah Benny B would’ve probably killed Carlito anyway, “law of the jungle.”

I always said that SAME thing for years.

Being 1 foot in and 1 foot out is what got Carlito killed. Same thing that killed Tony Montana.

Top 10 movie of all time no doubt

Nah you got ‘The Rock’ nowadays what do you mean? 🤣 Such a bad actor… But yeah movies like this won’t come often, directing, acting, Even cinematography and music…

NO THEY DONT NOT THIS OR SCARFACE

​​@@DarkKnight15789There will NEVER be another David Kleinfeld! Big props to David Koepp who wrote the screenplay (based on a novel but I can't remember who wrote it). Legendary film ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Put Donnie Brasco in there too. As near to cinematic perfection as possible.

And Devil's Advocate

​@@hulkfan97He said 3 year span. Devil's Advocate is not in that span, nor is it as good as the other 3

@@BroodallyHonest Jeez sorry I misread. I just really enjoyed that movie. My favorite performances of his are from Devil's Advocate and Scent of a Woman

Wow just wow, a true master of his craft. Timeless films.

90s Pacino is the greatest.

Never me!

That was a good one !

This movie has so many good lines. I like "alright jackson beat it". Or "dont make me do it Clienfelld" "you make me raise my voice again ill snap your neck like a breadstick".

​@@martindivaMy favorite line was "You ah gangster now, there's no school for this and you can't get a late start"..

@dillonsolanki4986 "Remember me Benny Blanco from the Bronx", or "they made me do it" I can't hump you know" lol just do it just kill me. My favorite might be the lime pits already dug and from in here just one button I push.

What about Casino, Godfather 1 and 2?

Ahhh the 90s...

Great movies... BAD guys trying to do some good things, However, HOWEVER, not counting the cost...... #=totallife

Summer of Sam was another great 90’s movie with John Leguizamo

Taxi Robert Di Niro,

That is very perceptive of you. Quite a brilliant detail by the director also.

Reminds me of the Vader and Obi Wann Kenobi battle, where Obi Wann tears into Vader’s helmet.

U stole this comment from me but good insight either way lol

it went downhill wayyyy before that @@Gforcebond

and ...... BRIAN DePALMA - the DIRECTOR. (He directed SCARFACE w Pacino as well)

Agreed.

Where is he?!

He’s incredible in Spawn

And from someone who played Tibalt, John Leguizamo's Tibalt was pretty fire. I agree, anything he has done was 100%

great job!

Lalin got 30 years man, 30 years!!!! You're right he was awesome in that role. I really think this movie was very underrated

I love it as well. It suffers with the Penelope Ann Miller side story.

@@LLOOYYYDD "I can't hump.."

It be's like that sometimes papi...

That’s true

He did so did Guzman's character. He was ready to do the job

I've seen this movie so many times and that's such a great observation I'm barely noticing. You can tell the moment he realized what you mentioned. Met Leguizamo a few years back when he was with his family. Very gracious and kind.

Facts, big mistake.

He saw the hesitation.

Edwin Torres wrote the book

Like life.. but people can’t handle that

just like the today films.............. wait, the today's films are just crap!!!

@@lwrncjms yeah De Palma was great but I give more credit for the writing to Edwin Torres. Torres was an attorney and later judge in the Bronx during the crazy 1960s-1980’s. When you watch the courtroom scene, Torres is writing from first hand experiences dealing in the legal system

he got softer

Yes ironically his own man gave him up and the guy that he should have killed got him at the end.

On the other hand, he kills Benny and the cops would eventually link his murder to Carlito's Club, then to Carlito and then it's lifetime sentence... So it wasn't an easy choice either way. The best thing to do was not beating up Benny there, and plan to whack him somewhere else, another time.

All Carlito had to do was give that girl to Benny Blanco and accept that bottle of champain! No big deal! The club owner said Benny was a very good customer...

One million %

I mean Benny DID warn him. "Better kill me now, OR..."

Exactly

Thanks Tony Soprano

@@marc7983 Nah. I kind of just watched the film😂

I guess you missed the point of the movie his whole objective was to get out of that life that’s the only reason he spared him it wasn’t a mistake on his behalf he was trying to break out of the never ending cycle so I wouldn’t call it a mistake it’s just part of that game.

John Leguizamo does not outshine Pacino. Pacino is the star of the movie and one of Hollywood's top actors. Not even close.

Leguizamo was great in this movie. Pacino was better though.

Benny was my fav in this movie tbh.. even though he didn’t get large screen time.. But he wasn’t no chump or pump faker like carlito thought he was.

For those that haven't seen this movie they are blind......

Not as good as Donnie Brasco or Cop Land.

Touche 💯👀

Loser

I like how he calls the street "She" and "She's always watching," because in the Spanish language, the street is "La calle" and "La" is female. In Spanish, nouns are either male or female. So even though he's speaking English, he still retaining some aspects of his Spanish. :)

@MrB0gart who works the streets at night? women...pimps are always hanging around and the johns chasing p*ssy but it's women's world...woman is referred to for ships too...also the earth mother...charles manson I think once referred to the penitentiary saying 'she's the icebox'...fact is p*ssy is the boss of this world because most men will do anything to get into it...therefore his correlation between the street being a woman watching all the time underpins his understanding of woman being the real boss...also it must be understood that a sexy woman is often the cause of a man being beaten or robbed or killed and arrested and jailed...it's heavy karma...we all got here thru them and they are often the cause of a man's death...this scene is an example...benny could not just let stephie go...he had to push it but she jumped onto another guy like most women do if they look good and are getting male attention whenever they walk (this is why most attractive women are wh*res regardless of their work or how much money they have or how rich or good looking their boyfriend or husband is)...this scene is the most unbelievable of the whole movie...it was absolutely the right thing for benny to be killed and carlito fcked up and then he loses his life because of it at the end of movie before he can escape with his dream woman...if we look deeper we see carlito eventually dies because of a wh*re (stephie) and more directly dies because of not killing benny (gangster) and he is with a good woman and heading to paradise which is out of character for him...reminds me of clint eastwood's dirty harry line "a man has got to know his limitations" meaning who to talk to and who not to...who to get close to and who not to get close to...who to trust and who not to trust...where to hang out and where not to hang out...men who do not know their limitations get into arguements or fights and accidents and wind up in hospital or murdered...these are serious words to live by...I am alive due to buddhism and knowing my limitations

True. Glad he's got that gig in Addams Family.

@@dontfearthereaper2887 when's hes online acting tough 😅

Regular life quotes? Those are fighting words bro

not to mention the soundtrack, epic!! 👊🏻👍🏻🕺🕺🏿🕺🕺🏿

Godfather

Kinda. What killed him more was his refusal to ditch his code of ethics and realise that kind of brotherhood was no more and it was now dog eat dog. He trusted his old friends even though they all betrayed him - wore a wire to get out of prison / sold him out to the DA / went over to Benny Blanco's employment. Even though he said the words, "Friendship gonna kill you faster than a bullet," he never doubted his friends' intentions. And it cost him.

Did he die though? The ending was extremely ambiguous

El orgullo lo mato hubiera seguido pero así es la mayoría de gente en la actualidad todos quieren fama

And more importantly, he wasn't the last of the MoRicans! Little Carlito was in the oven and away from danger and with loads of money, His legacy living on.

@@heroicjourney2508lol no he died you can see him literally going to the afterlife

I respect your opinion but how can benny be more remembered than carlito man?

I thought Viggo Mortensen's character was memorable. His accent was off the hook

You missed it entirely, there was a weakness in his eyes and Benny sensed it. Just look how Benny is shot-all red, his eyes pure black, almost demonic. Carlito is shot with the white light covering half his face, his right eye looking bright, almost soft.

I mean If I eva see you here again

Nice note!

Tony would have mopped the floor with Benny Blanco

He wouldn't have tried that with Tony Montana, think about it...

He wouldnt have even seen corleone. Hed just be dead.

Well GGGR was a play really..... more than a movie. But I agree. Still amazes me how not a single female shown in that entire thing. Men of men in a mens world.

you are 100 percent correct

damn, well observed man, never noticed that!!

I just think Carlito holds too much contempt for Benny. Sure, he’s a punk and whatever, but was not directly offensive to Carlito. Why get worked up over someone like Benny? I’m missing something in this character.

@@rokyericksonroks I think that further validates the statement I made about Benny being a younger Carlito. He's seeking Carlito's validation from jealousy in a way by sending the bottle to the table and then he sends it back making him turn up that need for it. The movie emphasizes how Carlito lived a life where he was highly respected and feared before jail. But now he's running from that lifestyle while constantly running into people that indirectly pull him back towards it. Benny knows this instinctively and knows who Carlito was in the past. In a way you can tell he admires him until he sniffs out that ''weakness'' in Carlito (The red and white face) and is let down. Knowing hes got him beat he then vows to kill him....(which he does obviously.) I think Benny was the movie's twist for Carlito's end. A message saying you can't run from or forget what you create in life regardless of the lifestyle...

Well I guess is like what the movie said: Benny Blanco is the younger version of Carlito. So Carlito saw himself in the mirror and don’t like it what he saw it.

I can watch this any day of the month. As for Scarface...i cant watch it...its really outdated

For realz

43..never gets old. Just like bronx tale or the goodfellas

I like Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon when he was a young man.

Every single song fits the mood/current situation. My personal favorite song is the one that plays when Carlito watches Gail dance naked for the first time. the lyrics fit so well

El gordo Porcel from Argentina

Yes, that was a good show." EN LA CAMA DE PORCEL". I used to watch it here in SouthFlorida, on the Telemundo cannel. He did comedy, sang and i saw him in some Argentinian films. I heard he owned a nice restaurant in Miami. Would have liked to have gone there. RIP, Jorge.

Ya...I can think of 5 good movies he was in. I think he was a pretty big deal back then

Jesus Christ , its official . Kids nowadays just love to throw the term underrated around . So here's what we'll do. Maybe you can put into words HOW is Sean Penn underrated ? ( this should be good )

I mean Spanish is a White language. All he had to do is the accent.

As a Puerto Rican I can say that Pacino could totally pass as one of us.

@@Goodlaw86 What's the point? Puerto Rican is not a Race. It's a Nationality. Any White person could pass as Puerto Rican.

Totally.. He owned this role.. Can't think of anyone who could have pulled it off better than him..

Pacino is Sicilian, both groups are practically cousins.

Better teeth And way more swag

@@GORILLA_PIMP Ah man, Freddie had gobs of swag -- just a differ type!

No he’s rocking the Luigi Mario look with the mustache that he should have had in the super Mario bros movie the same year as this film.

He was protecting one of his workers and standing up for his pal Dave, his code got him killed. Benny was a butt hurt purse snatcher, he wasn't going to make Carlito's age.

@@rickstalentedtongue910 respect is an essential element in the life; Carlito allowed his ego to dictate his interaction with Benny. He didnt take him seriously, and figured he’s at a level beyond Benny but failed to remember the come up; coupled with the fact that he was trying to step away from the life altogether. “Aint no such things as halfway crooks”

@@ryangonzalez7177 Informed take, I can see it now. The fact that I agree with him that Benny is an obnoxious punk who needed to be set straight, has nothing to do with the point about what Carlito did wrong. He opened himself up for future problems by creating an adversary.

@@rickstalentedtongue910benny blanco respected carlito way more than dave did at that point but yeah carlito owed dave.

he's just a punk.

Yes Love BLESS YOU FRIEND STAY WELL AND HEALTHY ENJOY LIFE RESPECT

🤔

One of my favourite movies,Carlito is a man who has had a bad past,in some people's eyes a bad man but one thing about him is loyalty and eventually it's his downfall.The direction in this scene is fantastic,the way it moves to a hand held camera as if it's a person watching what is happening,a classic movie

What does he mean by this anyon?

yes

Summer of Sam and Spawn....GOOD Actor!!!

Yeah, that suit he was wearing was classy.

He's underated

He looked cool in this movie. Now he looks....older

He was. He's a brilliant actor.

Makes this movie what?

Yeah John has had a VERY underrated career

@@jamesonedwardsii4943 But everyone still thinks he's great!

Great song! That scene captures mid 70s vibes really well.

Lol. It is now.

He started to think!! He was Mr. Powerful again..totally disrespected Blanco. Could have gave him ten . Minutes...disrespected him..in front of his crew..should have taken him out in the alley..his fatal mistake..

You could argue that he shouldn't have been merciful to Benny Blanco. But, we know from later in the film that Kleinfeld is willing to sell Carlito out to the DA on a drug deal he ASSUMED (but couldn't prove) Carlito did to invest in the club; Kleinfeld would have had a MUCH stronger case against Carlito if Benny had been murdered, considering all the witnesses. What actually killed Carlito was his trust in his friends - he was warned Pachenga had gone over to Benny Blanco's side, he was warned by Gail that Kleinfeld was a piece of ____ who would get him into trouble. Carlito refused to abandon his friends - one implicated him in a Mafia hit that almost killed him, the other gave away his boarding train details to Benny, who did kill him. "Friendship gonna kill you faster than a bullet."

Benny Blanco wasn't "lowly". He was a serious guy and it was apparent. You can't disrespect someone like that and not expect repercussions.

@@ThisHandleWasTheOnly1Available or if you do be prepared to go all the way, no half stepping. There is a reason ancient chinese and roman statesmen practiced clan extermination.

@@ThisHandleWasTheOnly1Available Well.Benny and his crew got hemmed up and pistols in their faces. Him and his crew could have gotten smoked that night.

Carlito never elevated Pachanga or treated him with more money or respect that he deserved for his loyalty who then turned on him for empty promises of power and enrichment which allowed the hit to be successful. And of course he was told "No, you stay here too" by Blanco who then shot him too, tragic ending!

Being nice is one of the reasons he got killed. Too nice to his lawyer, too nice to Benny. Once the lawyer pulled the gun on Benny. Benny and the lawyer had to go. When the lawyer stole from the mob and got Carlito's in the mix the lawyer should have been served to the mob on a platter. Carlito's should have never been on the boat. Carlito's put himself in a position to be a victim. All that nice guy stuff made Pachanga lose respect for him. If Carlito's would have taken care of business his guys would have known not to play with him. He could have retired leave his guy set up to fill his spot. Pachanga's ambition got him killed. No way you humiliate and young up and coming by putting hands on him in public and walk away breathing from that.
