I didn't care for Scarface. Great tragedy, I think, requires the audience at some point to connect with the main character. I never felt a connection to Tony Montana, and I would say he doesn't fill the role of tragic hero all too well. However, there is some thing to say about modern tragedy and the role of the tragic hero. Even so, I don't feel Tony Montana satisfied the requirements for a modern tragic hero either.
Have you watched the orginal movie, with Paul Muni? I like that one slightly better. If you take into account of when it was made, it's actually quite brutal. :o
