When Quentin scolded Ridley Scott that his brother was just a "movie bastard", I thought Quentin must have suffered enough from this idiot when he was writing the screenwriter of "True Romance", and it made Quentin a step forward. Have a taste of the real face of Hollywood in place.
That's right, Tony Scott is the producer, supporter and typical representative of Hollywood's industrialization process. The products he concocts must be full of fancy gimmicks, but there is absolutely no soul. This is what the capital needs, which can guarantee maximum commercialization and minimum trouble. As for whether this product is chewy and nutritious, will it become an "oversized me" if you eat too much, who cares?
"Robbery Underground" is a new product based on this kind of thinking. Tony Scott gave full play to his expertise in taking the dross and removing the essence, and abruptly adapted a cop movie from the 1970s into The movie version of the video game "Grand Theft Auto" is rumored.
In the 1970s, all the quality of life (faint and grumbling subway dispatchers, professional robbers, and panicked subway crowds) were replaced by Tony Scott’s MTV editing, and the time saved was filled in. It’s full of chattering dialogue. If it weren’t for Denzel Washington and Travolta, I believe this movie would be ten times uglier than it is now, although it’s ugly enough now, but the original version of the story is depressed and grim. The temperament has long since disappeared. Those bitter dialogues copied from the original appear abrupt and unrelied in a gamified environment. Travolta's role is only the object to be defeated in the game, and it is easily defeated. The success is really fucking cheap.
As the darling of capital, Tony Scott is sure to have the next work, but from the perspective of film development, Tony Scott has long been asleep.
