This is one departure from what we get in Gilgamesh, where William W. Hallo (an emeritus Yale professor generally considered the dean of American Assyriologists) has claimed that "the epic is also noteworthy for its proverbial inserts" (Hallo 617)
Part B of this essay is based on a discussion of strengths and weaknesses of the mythic heroes of the modern movies discussed in Part A. "Not only do films provide great illustrations of concepts and methods, but they also convey a more profound representation of the major type of modern hero shared by companies and the dominant producers of myth in our societies" (Fournout)
The mythic hero in movie Scarface is "Tony Camonte." "Though Scarface (1983) had its fair share of admirers, it has had its fair share of detractors as well…the fact that every character profiled in this scum-producing potboiler deserves to die and does cannot mitigate the film existence" (Kirby)
