In the film "Scarface" with Al Pacino playing Cuban mobster Tony montana, what did Montana mean, when at a

Question

restaurant he causes attention brought to himself, during a public family squabble, in front of what he calls the "good" guys", then tells them - "that even when he lied" (himself : Montana), "he told the truth?" How would anyone interested to answer, interpret this?

Answer 1

hes so real he doesn't have to lie he could lie but he would still tell the truth init

Answer 2

What the character in the movie meant by that phrase is that he doesnt bend the truth to make it look like he is bad person. He tells it like it is regardless of what people think of him. He doesnt care if people judge him. He is confident of who he is and doesnt have to worry what people will say or if people will look at him the wrong way. In other words he is so honest that he doesnt lie. He does not talk BullS**T " im sure you can figure that word out" just to impress people. If he tells a white lie it is probably true. I hope i helped you to understand the phrase a little bit better.

Answer 3

You could attribute a similar meaning to the concept that we all live in our own version of reality. Montana's paradigm of "truth" lies within the context of his own reality.

Answer 4

hes 100% real truthful and honest all the time. what u see is what you get. unlike those people faking happiness and purity in the restaurant, he wears his emotions on the outside. he dont fake 4 nobody. hes from the gutta, and he knew that he neva acted as nuthin different. whether he had $2 or $2 million.

Answer 5

The easisest way to explain this is that this was at Tony's most coked up/paranoid period. I would take it as the ramblings of such a person.

Answer 6

Honesty and Character cannot be bought or sold, these are Human traits.

Answer 7

That lies and lying are reality, which makes them true. Just a guess.

Answer 8

when he lies he means it, the quote is what it is dont read too much into stuff
