Guy Ritchie returns to the most handy gangster genre

Storytellers are probably not annoying, even though they use the same recipe each time. British director Guy Ritchie's recent commercial blockbusters such as "The Secret Service" and "King Arthur" have tried to find the greatest intersection between the popcorn-type model and the author's style, and the results are quite good, making these commercial themes It can also give off a unique taste. This year's new work "Gentlemen" has found the gangster theme that he has made his fame and is the most handy: violence, humor, and reversal are all indispensable. Of course, the most dazzling thing is still the structure of the script. The way the people in the play tell the story generates an unstable two-layered narrative text. The true and false content complements the characters' intriguing nature. The designs of mantis catching cicadas and oriole are no longer fresh, but they can still produce stunning British humor and excellent creativity.

A screenwriter and director who is good at writing nagging dialogue scripts, the representative of the United States is Quentin Tarantino, while the British champion can only be Guy Ritchie. These two directors who made their fortunes in the 1990s are still leading the way in the new century. Last year, Quentin's "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" was still a global hit, while Guy Ritchie became more and more tacit with Hollywood. I don't know if it is because of independent production, Guy Ritchie got rid of all kinds of scruples in commercial production in this film , maybe there is not much pressure at the box office, not only boldly used his work ("Secret Agent") to make fun of, but also Boldly incorporating some innocuous political metaphors, the struggle of the three forces of the US, China and Russia, the final winner is unexpectedly... This kind of humorous tone alluding to the current international situation is undoubtedly something that Hollywood films do not have. What's more surprising is that there is still a sequel-like ending, and let's wait and see!

The Gentlemen quotes

  • Fletcher: He explodes on the scene like a millennial fucking firecracker. Bang, bang, bang, bang!

    Ray: I'm going to have to stop you right there, Fletcher. That doesn't sound like the Dry Eye I know.

    Fletcher: Just making sure you're paying attention, Raymond. So let's cut instead to a somewhat anticlimactic, but suave and debonair Dry Eye, like a Chinese James Bond.

  • Rosalind Pearson: Look, I don't want you knocking around here feeling all unemployed and lost with yourself.

    Mickey Pearson: Well, fuck me. Most wives would beg their other halves to get out of this game, but not you.

    Rosalind Pearson: That's because I know you, darling.
