Scarface (1983) - THE SCREEN TEXT

INTRODUCTION (Video version)

In May 1980, Fidel Castro opened the harbor at Mariel, Cuba, with the apparent intention of letting some of his people
join their relations in the United States. Within seventy-two hours, 3,000 U.S. boats were heading for Cuba. It soon became
evident that Castro was forcing the boat owners to carry back with them not only their relations, but the dregs of his jails.
Of the 125,000 refugees that landed in Florida, an estimated 25,000 had criminal records.

INTRODUCTION (Televised version)

In April 1980, Fidel Castro opened the harbor at Mariel, Cuba, allowing an estimated 125,000 people to emigrate to the
United States. This group of refugees included a very small number of violent criminals released from Castro's jails. This
movie is a fictitous account of one of those Mariel criminals who arrived in Miami that year.

Angelina Jolie slams West for barring refugees

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie on Tuesday accused the West of cold-heartedness and hypocrisy in trying to shut out migrants, including refugees, from Africa and other hotspots.


More than 7,000 people have died trying to get into Europe over the past decade, according to Jolie, whose comments appeared in the magazine “Refugees”, published by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), for whom she is a goodwill ambassador.

She expressed outrage at a photo which appeared recently in the quarterly magazine, taken on an unidentified Mediterranean beach in Spain in 2002, which showed a couple relaxing under an umbrella not far from the washed-up corpse of a black man.

“We’ll never know who he was or why he ended up there and the couple on the beach apparently couldn’t care less,” Jolie wrote. “Someone’s son, someone’s brother, or someone’s loved one. In fact, you or me, if we had been born at another time, or in another place.”

Jolie, who has been to more than 20 countries since becoming a UNHCR goodwill ambassador five years ago, said it was a scandal that such a rich world was not feeding all people in refugee camps, especially in Africa.

Many would-be refugees fell into the hands of unscrupulous smugglers “who push them into overcrowded boats or hide them in the backs of containers, or tell them to walk across minefields or scale barbed wire fences in the middle of the night”.

“Many have also died trying to get into the United States and Australia. But we don’t notice,” wrote the Oscar-winning actress, who is filming in India.

Ignoring simmering conflicts had proven damaging and expensive, she said, citing Bosnia, Rwanda and Afghanistan.

“I have been to some of these countries, or to their neighbours, where most of the refugees remain,” said Jolie.

“It is a truly humbling experience, a shocking eye-opener. It has made me realise that we are all — myself included — behaving like the couple sitting under their umbrella on the beach, gazing studiously out to sea,” she said.

Al Pacino to Dance with the Stars?

Al Pacino, rhumba king? It could happen.

The actor, 67, who plays nefarious casino owner Willie Bank in Ocean's Thirteen, tells TIME he wouldn't rule out appearing on the ABC reality competition – although fans probably shouldn't hold their breath.

In the magazine's "10 Questions" feature, a reader asks Pacino, who won an Oscar after tangoing with Gabrielle Anwar in 1992's Scent of a Woman: "I know you are a private person, but I hear that you can really dance. Would you consider doing Dancing with the Stars?"

He replies: "Actually, I would consider it. All due respect and trying to be as modest as I can be, I am a dancer. But I don't think I would be on Dancing with the Stars mainly because I would be too shy."

Pacino also sounds off on hip-hop artists who worship Scarface ("It's amazing to me. It's wonderful"), who does the best Pacino impression ("Kevin Spacey comes close. Jamie Foxx does a good rendition of me. ... It's sort of like having a talent for playing an instrument") and retirement ("I was shocked when I heard about Paul Newman retiring at age 82. Most actors just fade away like old soldiers").

The 2007 recipient of the American Film Institute's lifetime achievement award, Pacino muses on the possibility of a movie about his life. "It would be called The Dustin Hoffman Story," he quips. "When we were starting out, [Robert] De Niro, me and Hoffman were always sort of mixed up. People mistook us for each other."

Kevin Costner Forgives Madonna for Truth or Dare Diss

Kevin Costner has forgiven Madonna for making fun of him in her 1991 documentary Truth or Dare.

In the film, Costner visits Madonna backstage after a concert and describes the performance as "neat." After he leaves, Madonna pretends to stick her finger down her throat and says, "Anybody who says my show is 'neat' has to go."

"Yeah, I was embarrassed by it and kind of hurt by it," Costner, 52, tells the L.A Times. "I just went back there because I was asked to go back. And I found the best word that I could. I never called her on it or whatever."

A decade later, Madonna, to Costner's surprise, made things right. "She did a really beautiful thing," he says. "She was performing [in L.A.] about three or four years ago, so I decided to take my daughters to see her. I just thought this is somebody they should see. I didn't call anybody for tickets, I just got tickets and we went down.

"And about the third song in, the lights were down, and she said, 'I want to apologize to someone.' And all of a sudden my face starts to get hot. ... She says, 'I want to apologize to Kevin Costner.' She just said it very simply. Ninety-eight percent of that audience didn't know what she was talking about. But I really respected that, and it showed me the power of just keeping your own counsel for a long time. ...

"Whatever possessed her, whatever was inside her, she came to her own decision. And a bigger thing came out of some kind of humiliation. I never wrote her to say thank you, but I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart, and that meant more to me than you could ever know."

Costner, who plays a serial killer in the new movie Mr. Brooks, recently became a dad for the fifth time when he and wife Christine Baumgartner welcomed son Cayden Wyatt on May 6.

Venez Congress Honors Che Birth

Caracas, June 14 (Prensa Latina) Venezuela's National Assembly devoted a session Thursday to mark the 79th anniversary of the birth of Ernesto Che Guevara.

President of the National Youth Institute, Maria Jimenez, who was in charge of the panegyric for the legendary Latin American guerrilla, called on the new generation of Venezuelans to imitate his exemplary life.

There is no better glory for a revolutionary than to perform his her duty, and this is the primary moral, ethical element left by Ernesto Che Guevara, said the youth leader.

Today we have in Venezuela a revolutionary government that works for the human being, for the construction of a new society and the birth of a new man, as dreamed by Guevara, she noted while calling revolutionary youth to assume their commitment with the ongoing process of democratic change, with the Venezuelan and the Latin American peoples, and rescue Guevara's ideas by putting them into practice.

Angelina Jolie: Brad and I May Want Up to 14 Kids

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt already have four young children – but they may not be planning to stop there.

On Thursday's Daily Show, Jon Stewart wondered how many kids Jolie wanted in all, asking: "How high we going, you think?"

Replied Jolie: "It fluctuates between seven and 13 or 14." The audience howled and Jolie laughed, and Stewart said, "Wow, I'll tell you this: I admire that, because two is kicking my ass."

Jolie quipped: "Yeah, I understand that. Four is kind of kicking our ass, but we kind of feel like, 'Damn it, we're up for the challenge!' "

The actress, 32, has been in New York City promoting her and Pitt's new movie A Mighty Heart, which premiered Wednesday.

Stewart asked Jolie about a FOX News story claiming that journalists at a junket on Wednesday had been asked to sign a contract before talking to her requiring that they not ask about her personal life – a common request at press events.

"There was a memo that went out to ask people if they would sign it that said, 'Don't get into personal questions, focus on the movie,' and things like that," Jolie explained. "It was from my representative trying to be protective of me, but it was excessive and I wouldn't have put it out there."

On Thursday, Jolie's lawyer, Robert Offer, issued a mea culpa, telling The New York Times the document was the fault of a "bone-headed, overzealous lawyer" – himself – and that Jolie hadn't been aware of it.

"This was my creating something to protect her from the press's talking about personal matters, a document that would limit discussion to the film," he said. "But it was drafted overly broadly. It was well intended, but I understand how it was received."

Also on Thursday, Jolie appeared on CNN's Larry King Live, where she described raising the latest addition to her family, 3-year-old Pax Thien, whom she adopted from Vietnam in March (he joined Maddox, 5; Zahara, 2; and Shiloh, 1). "He's wild. He's beautiful and wild," she said.

"He had no freedoms for three and a half years. ... He lived in the same place on the same cot along with 20 other cots and did things at the exact same time and had no chance to have an opinion himself or do – he lived a very structured life. But he's also suddenly very free."

She explained that her new son's name was suggested by her own mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, before her death from ovarian cancer in January. "My mom wrote a list of names when we were going to have Shiloh," said Jolie. "One of the names that she suggested was Pax because it meant peace. [But] he's anything but at the moment."
