Scarface, Cuban accent

syllables with -ng. Is that in fact how working class Cubans talk?
He said "pelicang" in the film because it was something used during
his dialogue training. Fly, pelicang, fly.

Pacino was simply awful as Tony Montero in the execrable "Scarface".
I don't have a high opinion of Pacino's thespic ability but, even for him, the
performance was dreadful.
"Say hello to my little fren..." Wonder if he was talking about his penis?

I hated him in that, too, but don't you mean "thethpic"?

I meant to say Tony Montana. But whatever his name was, he was terrible, simply
terrible.

My sister married a Cuban who came over to the States in the 60's, fleeing the
Castro regime and he didn't sound anything like Pacino's Tony Montana.
Hoo hah!

None of them do--that's the joke!

And yet, Cuban native Daisy Fuentes actually praised Pacino's accent
in SCARFACE:
I don't mean to presume that Ms. Fuentes speaks for all Cuban natives,
I just find it interesting that a Cuban-American is standing up for
Pacino's dialect.

Taken for an extensible seriousness Oliver Stone, a decorated Vietnam
war hero, imparts to Natural Born Killers, Scarface perhaps imparts a
brilliance to well-documented facets of longstanding heritage, most
particularly potent in methodologies engaged by a spirit underlying
revolutionary activities.
There was survey done at some deferment point located near Miami. One
surprising viewpoint that surfaces is that -- although the quality of
"getting by" in life for many poorer countries may literally be
excretory to American standards, once having somewhat settled in -- a
curious nostalgia emerges for closely-knit, active social structuring
of an indigenous working somehow thwarted, or in counterpoint of
degree negated within American society.
At three years of age Ms. Fuentes left Cuba and lived in Spain a few
years before moving to Newark, New Jersey, where she learned to speak
English by watching reruns of I Love Lucy. After completing her
education at nearby American schools, she successfully embarked upon a
career in televised broadcasting, performing a short stint as a
weather spokesperson. Bilingual, she advanced to achieve greater
recognition of her heritage in a popularly televised Latino production
of MYV, also while corresponding in its American counterpart as a MTV
Video Jockey.
Of more recent achievements she presents her two dogs as costars in
Dog Whisperer.

And yet, the Scarface poster sells like hotcakes in the Cuban
community--go figure.

Just this week in the newsfeeds, the Mexican police killed one of
their own, a drug kingpin -- whatever all that entails between the two
faces of heavy-handed politics and fistfuls of drug czar subsidiary
money -- perhaps, no more in mention than consequent to an ongoing,
economically-heated "drug war" situation, now prevalent for some time.
Nor would it be especially unusual about types of top-dog eulogies law
enforcement likes to send to funerals for special placement above a
casket. Although, this isn't the case -- the drug king pin, given
significance to reportage, is widely being martyrised by Mexican
society.
