Scarface (1931). Paul Muni’s performative blueprint. Unlike the hero of Westerns, that strong, silent type who talks mainly to the horse, the early gangster couldn’t stay still, and he wouldn’t be quiet—he was determined to disturb you. Like the sonic Gangsta of rap music, he was a meditation on the kind of manhood available to males who could find no place in the mode of production authorized by the law.

Scarface (1983). Every successful intruder on the American scene was once an immigrant or a criminal: Al Pacino’s manic homage to Paul Muni, which soon became the representational reality of the sonic Gangstas who were “gonna get rich or die tryin’,” erases the family romance that was The Godfather and reinstates violence as the American anthem.
