Career

After being expelled from his last school at 15, Guy Ritchie performed many odd jobs until the age of 25. At 25 Guy Ritchie's father made some calls and got Ritchie a job as a runner on a local production set. It wasn't long until Ritchie learned the ropes and was producing his own music videos and commercials. The earnings Ritchie received from the videos helped him finance his first film"The Hard Case" in 1995, which was a short 20 minute film. This short film was Ritchie's big break. Trudie Styler, Sting's wife, loved the film and offered to finance his next film. That next film was "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", this was Ritchie's first full length film. Along with his first film, his next "Snatch", defined Guy Ritchie as a legitimate film maker.
During the time between his first two films, Ritchie, married pop star Madonna. This is when Ritchie began to make some of his less acclaimed work. The first was the controversial music video "What It Feels Like For a Girl," then the two finally made a full length film "Swept Away," which was a remake of a1974 film. This movie gave Ritchie his first awards in the film industry, unfortunately, it was from the Golden Rasberry Awards. A few of the awards included worst actor, worst director, and worst picture. His next film "Revolver" did not fair much better. Then, in 2008, Ritchie remembered what made him successful, he directed and produced "RocknRolla." Two years later he made his most recent film, an adaptation of the classic "Sherlock Holmes," which has done very well in critics opinions, as well as, the public in movie ticket sells.
