How powerful can a story be when it is stripped to the bare essentials of just a room, a handful of people and raw human voice?

Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that. The film perpetuates harmful stereotypes about Latinx immigrants and uses gore and misogyny for shock value that never serves any purpose.
