Carlito's Way! an Illustrated Summary and Behind the Making of the Movie. Based off the novels After Hours and Carlito's Way by Edwin Torres, Carlito's Way is a crime/suspense noir film that was directed by Brian De Palma and released to mixed reviews in 1993. The movie follows the story of a once legendary Puero Rican heroin dealer who is released from prison and vows to go straight and retire to paradise. His past and his own "codes of the street," as well as his unusual sense of loyalty, makes him walk a dangerous fine line between being dragged down by the merciless criminal world he was once on top of or finally being able to escape it by coming up with enough money to retire in the Bahamas. The film's adaptation was scripted by David Koepp, and the movie starred legendary actors Al Pacino and Sean Penn. Supporting actors included Penelope Ann Miller as Gail, Luis Guzman as Pachanga, John Leguizamo as Benny "from the bronx" Blanco, with a short appearance by Viggo Mortensen as Lalin . Brain De Palma masterfully brings you into this fascinating world of Carlito Brigante. Although the character may be fictional, the vibrant and often gritty and merciless streets of East Harlem during the time isn't. This hub will provide an illustrated summary of the movie Carlito's Way as well as facts about the making of it and some behind the scenes look at one of the best crime noir films of the 90s. Carlito's Way - an Illustrated Summary and Making Of. Beginning. The film begins with Carlito being shot at a train station by an unknown assailant. As the stretcher wheels Carlito through the train station, the stretcher wheels gets stuck into a crack on the ground, in which Carlito stares at a billboard sign that says "Escape to Paradise." It is here that, Carlito begins to recollect the events prior. We next find Carlito Brigante beating a 30 year rap due to his lawyer and friend, Dave Kleinfeld's ability to exploit District Attorney's illegal use of wiretaps. Vowing to stay clean from his past life of crime, Carlito confides in Dave about his plan to escape to the Bahamas and buy into a car rental business if he can come up with $75,000. However, Carlito needs to find a way to come up with the money without breaking his vow of returning to the "dope" business. The Making of Carlito's Way - Pacino Spearhead's Interest. Al Pacino first brought the idea to producer Martin Bregman about making a movie about Carlito Brigante after reading the books After Hours and Carlito's Way written by New York state supreme court Judge Edwin Torres. The books were greatly inspired by the poverty, racial gangs, and drugs that permeated the East Harlem barrio where Torres was born and raised. The character of Carlito Brigante was a composite of people he knew in the neighborhood, mainly three, as well as bits of himself. Pacino first heard of the character before the books were finished when he met Torres while shooting Serpico . Once the books were published, Pacino read them and instantly liked Carlito's character. Martin Bregman claims the first script he read for the movie was absolutely terrible, but Pacino liked the character so much he kept pushing Bregman. Finally, it was decided that the script would have to be rewritten, and David Koepp was brought on to write the screenplay. Because Al Pacino couldn't play a younger version of Carlito Brigante, it was decided that the movie be more based on the second book After Hours . They entitled the movie Carlito's Way because of this fact and because Martin Scorcese already had a film called After Hours. Koepp wrestled with the idea of using the voice over narrative while writing the script, but he didn't see how he could tell the story any other way. When Brian De Palma's agent suggested he read the screenplay, De Palma was reluctant. He didn't want to do another movie about spanish- speaking gangsters and felt he already visited that area with Scarface. Finally, De Palma caved and read the script. Realizing it was more than a gangster film, De Palma envisioned the movie as a noir film and liked the script so much he agreed to do the film. Scene Facts: Early cuts of the botched drug deal scene where Carlito's cousin is killed led the studio to say the scene was too long. De Palma felt the scene wasn't long enough. Feeling he had failed to capture the geography of the scene in order for the audience to see Carlito's viewpoint on where everyone was and how close they were to give more emphasis on what the stakes were, De Palma extended the scene to bring more suspense. After the studio saw it, they remarked it was much better shorter when it was in fact longer. Return to the Barrio. Carlito returns to the mean streets of Spanish Harlem, only to find that his barrio has drastically changed in the last five years.
