Gentlemen is both a Guy Ritchie throwback and a novelty. In this film about gangster drug trafficking, you will find Guy Ritchie's familiar dark humor and excellent control of multi-line narrative, but the unique narrative style and the integration of Internet elements make the film It has both the gentleman charm of old-fashioned England and the evil taste of fashionable hilarity.
When it comes to Guy Ritchie, I believe everyone is most familiar with "Two Smoking Guns" and "Snatching". However, it is a pity that after these two films, although the films he directed are not bad after leaving Hollywood, he has not been able to bring another work of the same level as these two films. In the dilemma of "peak", and "Gentlemen" is a rather good comeback in my opinion, in the homeland he is most familiar with, Guy Ritchie returns to the dark humor he is most familiar with.
"Pleasant" is the most intuitive feeling of the film "Gentlemen", which is inseparable from the neat suits of Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Colin Farrell and Hugh Grant The British drama is also inseparable from director Guy Ritchie's deep understanding of British aesthetics. Although "Gentlemen" is a multi-line narrative film, the story of this film is actually not complicated. Matthew Mai Mitch Pearson, the drug lord played by Connor, is a man who grows marijuana in a noble manor and earns a lot of money. However, when he reaches middle age, he wants to quit and hopes to sell his property, but unexpectedly falls into black eating. Black trouble.
One of the novel points of the movie is the narrative. The story of "Gentlemen" is not performed, but is based on the way that private detective Fletcher has obtained evidence of Mickey Pearson's drug trafficking and tried to blackmail his subordinates by telling the story. speak out. The advantage of this approach allows the film to easily get rid of the shackles of the film's perspective transformation, and gives the film a broader space for expression. All characters related to drug lord Mickey Pearson can be freely embedded in the story by the director, but the same approach also It is a test of the director's ability to control the narrative. After all, no one is willing to watch a person's boring nonsense.
In the process of talking about the play, Fletcher, who claims to have mastered everything, is actually not the last Oriole. He is also a member of the play-in-play set by Guy Ritchie. "Gentlemen" is the blackest The humorous plot concept is that everyone in the movie is confident that he is the last oriole, but in fact everyone is a mantis watching cicadas, and the climax of the continuous reversal makes the movie seem a little talkative in the foreshadowing of the previous paragraph. But at the end you will find that this is a story that is far more than gangster drug trafficking.
Only a middle-aged director can make this film with a mid-life crisis, but perhaps only Guy Ritchie can make a middle-aged comedy that blends the old and the new, and derives black humor from the bad taste. In "Gentlemen", Guy Ritchie incorporates cool hip-hop and uses the Internet as a prop for his black humor. He never forgets how to use costume props and humor to outline the old school of British gentlemen, and he has a variety of elements at his fingertips. , and the way he can integrate them, there is no doubt that Guy Ritchie, who is in middle age, is facing the declaration of life, declaring that he and his works are not outdated and old.
Although "Gentlemen" has a lot of irony, the film itself does not have much depth. After all, this is a cool film that is not sloppy and does not pretend to be deep. If you are hearty after watching the film, then Guy Ritchie The black comeback was a success.
