Analysis of One Work

If I'm going to analyze one of Guy Ritchie's films, it has to be the one that started it all,"Lock,Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels." The film is set in London, like most of his films, and features four everyday guys who get into a little situation with a London Mobster. OK, it's a big situation. Eddy is a poker mastermind and decides to make some quick money in an illegal card game. Only problem is it's with Hatchet Harry(Mobster), the game is fixed and eddy loses. He, and his friends, now owe Harry lots of money. Harry, of course, wants that money pretty badly, and that's where the trouble starts. To me, this is Guy's best movie, not only because it's the first one that shows his creative genius, but also because it has the best story. Ritchie is able to give great depth to his characters through the use of narration. The narration also allows Ritchie to expand the story of his movies in a way that they don't get convoluted. Eight plus characters, that get almost equal face time in a movie, usually means that it's going to be confusing, however, Ritchie makes this an enjoyable experience in "Lock, Stock..." The movie also has great action scenes. A common tool used is slow motion fight, and action scenes in Guy's movies. This film style, along with the uncommon lack of C.G.I. in his movies provide an extremely realistic and believable movie watching experience.

Summary of Major Works

Guy Ritchie has made movies starting as far as 1995. When considering his major works, however, 1998 was the year he had his first big hit. "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" debuted in 1998. It was received with applause from film makers and watchers alike in Britain, it eventually went on to become the third highest grossing film in British history. Amazingly, after 10 distributors turned the film down, Tom Cruise rescued it and got Columbia TriStar to distribute it. Guy's next film,"Snatch," was released in 2000. The movie was given mixed grades by critics, some said it was just a continuation of his last film,"Lock,Stock," and some thought it was just vintage Guy Ritchie flair. After Guy's marriage to Madonna in 2000, they worked on a remake of the '70's film "Swept Away." The film, although a major work in his career, was a complete disaster, that was liked by very few. Ritchie attempted to reclaim his luster with the 2007 release of "Revolver," but unfortunately, it fared only slightly better than "Swept Away." In 2008, Ritchie found his magic from his first two successes, when he released " RocknRolla," which was a signature return to his "stylish crime comedies(YahooMovies)." His most recent movie, "Sherlock Holmes," came out in 2010, and is currently a very well received adaptation of the classic novel.
