Major Themes, Influences, and Artistic Style.

Guy Ritchie's movie's, at least in my opinion, are very entertaining. His movies are filled with action, humor and great dialogue. Yahoo movies wrote, "Ritchie directed some of the most stylish caper comedies about blue collar thugs and other lower class misfits ever to emerge from his native land"(YahooMovies.com). Two of the more noticeable themes Ritchie incorporates into his movies are the lives of criminal and their activities, and the London underground(ordinary people and criminals). I have never been to London nor have I seen their criminal enterprises up close, but I would suspect them to be fairly similar to how Ritchie shows them. One of Guy's influences was the movie" Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid"(1969). After watching this as a kid Ritchie knew he wanted to make films.
Ritchie never went to a formal film school, so his artistic style is all his own. If you have ever seen one of his films, you notice that he has humorous and witty dialogue between his characters. Some of the dialogue might be hard to understand at first, but eventually you get accustomed to their accents. Guy's films are edgy, and fast paced. This makes for a great movie watching experience, except you may have to watch it twice to fully understand the plot. Then there's the plots of his movies, they are constantly evolving and have an omniscient way of tying it all together at the end.
