not killing benny blanco wasn't even the problem, keeping that cokehead lawyer around and trusting him was. every thing else was just the fall out from keeping the wrong company :ufdup:

It was a lot of things that did him in, but Benny pulled that trigger.

The biggest lesson of all this is a favor will kill you quicker than a bullet. All them favors for people put him in dangerous situations and eventually got him killed.

It's too bad the clip doesn't show the scene just before that, where Carlito thinks "if anyone asks, I gotta say Lalin is a stand up guy"... right before he sees Lalin is in a wheelchair.:heh:

there are basically two things that did him in:

a) times had changed and he was unwilling or incapable to adapt
b) misplaced loyalty

the lesson of the movie is that sooner or later, life on the street will catch up with you. sure, benny pulled the trigger, but he was only one of many factors that were about to catch up to carlito. he had the cops working hard to put him back in jail, his lawyer selling him out, his close associates looking at him as weak, the italians trying to find him and benny blanco plotting for revenge. one of these things would have did him in anyway, it's not important which one, beause he was already on a path to self-destruction the moment he chose life on the streets.

That's a really good point he had set himself up to take that L. Living on his reputation when his heart was no longer in it.
