Chapter 11: Reflect & Discuss Scarface Video Clip What to Watch for and Ask Yourself What are Mel’s sources or bases of power in this interaction with Tony Montana? What are Tony Montana’s sources or bases of power? What type of power relationship forms between the two men? Scarface Cuban refugee Antonio “Tony” Montana (Al Pacino) comes to Miami to pursue the American dream. He quickly rises in power within the Miami drug world until life turns against him. This lengthy, punishing film will leave unforgettable images and thoughts on almost any viewer. It is a remake of the 1931 Scarface, a classic gangster film starring Paul Muni that set an early standard for films of this type. The scene from Scarface comes from the “Shakedown” sequence that occurs about halfway through the film. The sequence takes place at a disco before Tony’s confrontation with his sister Gina (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) about the man she is dating. Mel Bernstein (Harris Yulin), Chief Detective, Narcotics and Tony Montana discuss Mel’s proposal to protect Tony’s drug operation. After Mel says, “Thank you for the drink” and leaves, Tony goes to Elvira’s (Michelle Pfeiffer) table. The film continues through more of Tony Montana’s complex drug deals and to its well-known violent ending. What to Watch for and Ask Yourself What are Mel’s sources or bases of power in this interaction with Tony Montana? What are Tony Montana’s sources or bases of power? What type of power relationship forms between the two men?
