Guy Ritchie: the filmography. Best Movies by Guy Ritchie

Movie fans, who appreciate non-standard films, will immediately name the names of contemporary directors, considered to be cult. And most likely, this list will also have this name - Guy Ritchie. The filmography of the director is not distinguished by a huge number of projects, but those that are meet the most sophisticated spectator expectations.

And it started with a small

The future master was born from the cinema in 1968. The place of his birth was Hatfield (Great Britain). And although in the future everyone stubbornly perceived the director as a descendant of simple working areas (which was facilitated by Richie's films), Gaius's father was a very successful executive director of a London advertising company. And my stepfather owned the family estate of the seventeenth century. But the image of the guy from the gateway is still firmly entrenched in the director.

The original Londoner Guy Ritchie began with very modest forms. He shot small demos for different musical groups, and directed advertising as well. Razminayas in this way, he at the same time collected money for a full movie. However, the first work was still the short film "Difficult business". However, this did not detract from its merits. The energy of the invented and embodied director of history was so expressive that the idea could catch Sting. The well-known singer agreed to take part in the next project without hesitation. He became the film "Cards, money, two trunks."

Trunks and maps

The picture "Cards, money, two trunks" opened the world a new name - Guy Ritchie. The filmography of the director has a truly bright beginning. The unusual story behind the script, the painstaking visualization of the plot, the exact selection of the actors perfectly suited to the images - this is the set of techniques that became the key to success, although it does not explain just the adrenaline atmosphere of the film.

It was in the first work that the main features of the subsequent work of the London hooligan were determined. This skillful balancing on the brink of humor, violence, reality and unbridled fiction. By the way, a film was filmed in the notorious London district - Soho. And one of the actors is Nick Moran, a native of the East End. He is familiar with the customs of the inhabitants there. And the father of the actor told me a lot about the habitues of local pubs.

Broke the jackpot

The second brainchild of the director was realized in the already recognizable style of a gangster fighter. But again, the familiar genre surprised and admired its dissimilarity. One hit is an accident, the second is a regularity. "The big jackpot" showed that Guy Ritchie's films are knocked out of a number of one-faced fighters. Gangster disassembly from the Londoner was very much like an intellectual banter.

Casting in the new project is also not disappointing. It featured actors from the previous tape Richie about gamblers and a few new faces. In an unexpected role for himself, Brad Pitt appeared on the screen, which in the "Big Kush" is certainly far from the image of a romantic handsome man, who had become accustomed to that time. That once again confirms the idea that the films of Guy Ritchie easily destroy the stereotypes that have taken root in the mass consciousness .

Gone to another genre

In the third full-length tape, Richie tried to escape from the already mastered action genre. "Gone" belongs to the category of comedic melodramas. Indeed, this was a surprise for the fans of the director. Perhaps, for such an experiment, Richie decided, staying in a happy marriage with Madonna. It was she who starred in the main role. And although the tape never received enthusiastic responses from fans and critics, but the play of an outrageous singer deserves special praise. A melodrama diluted the gangster films of Guy Ritchie. The list of his projects has expanded.

"Revolver"

In his next film, the director returned to the usual course: maps, bandits, shooting and black humor. And a clever fiction bordering on absurdity. In general, the audience received an explosive cocktail, on which he managed to get bored. It was the familiar and beloved Guy Ritchie. His filmography was replenished with another successful project.

In the title role starred longtime favorite director - brutal and brutal Jason Statham. His partner in the film was the famous Ray Liotta.

The director in "Revolver" surpassed himself: a rabid action, psychedelic and adrenaline mix in an unpredictable and intricate plot. Many critics have broken their brains, trying to order the view that was viewed, which persistently did not want to be decomposed into components.

All this is rock and roll

"Rock-n-Roller" immediately after the release was enlisted in the best films of Guy Ritchie. It already feels the hand of the master. The picture has a recognizable atmosphere in London: back streets, pubs, shadow collars, brothers and crazy idiots. The latter, strangely enough, manage to get out of even the most hopeless situations, which drive themselves.

And again we are awaited by a delightful actor's game, elegantly photographed nature plans and a chasm of humor.

Unusual Sherlock

Fans waiting for the release of new films by Guy Ritchie were rewarded with information that the Londoner was going to film the world's most famous saga of Arthur Conan Doyle about the detective with Baker Street. News received from the set, shocked the ardent fans of Sherlock Holmes. Simply, the new Sherlock was in no way associated with the classic character. He was younger, more adventurous. And he did not like to indulge in thoughtful inventions in an armchair by the fireplace. He acted!

The output of the first part was stunned. The picture either confessed to love, or was not accepted.

But to stop at what was achieved and to refuse to continue the story was not in the director's plans. Otherwise it would no longer be Guy Ritchie. The filmography of his works was soon supplemented by the second part of the adventures of the great Holmes.

New names

Film fans around the world can thank Guy Ritchie with a pure heart not only for atmospheric films, but also for his amazing ability to find talented actors and give them the opportunity to reveal themselves. It is noticed that the appearance in the tape of a cult director (even in the role of a very tiny one) gives the performer a career of rapid acceleration. At the same time, Richie manages to consider the actor's data from people very far from art.

For example, Winnie Jones. He made his debut in the first picture of the master - "Cards, money, two trunks." A colorful figure could not be overlooked. And very few people knew then that Vinnie is a football star, and on the set he arrived straight from the police station, where he got because of his explosive nature.

Another example is Jason Statham. "Revolver" Guy Ritchie, "Cards, money, two barrels," "Big Kush" - the actor was filmed in almost all the films of the director. Statham never learned acting. In the past, he was part of the Olympic team for diving. Then he worked as a merchant. And he even acted in advertising. In this video, he also noticed Guy Ritchie.

The next discovery of the Londoner is Tom Hardy. Nobody really noticed the British role before the role of Handsome Bob in the tape "Rock-n-Roller". There were minor roles, low-budget projects. Secondary, but incredibly bright character in the cult film put the actor in the big leagues.

Despite the fact that Guy Ritchie started directing quite late, his success and contribution to the cinema has long been debated. And let the list of pictures not impress with the amount (it is almost completely mentioned above, except for the film "Suspect"), but each tape is remembered and inevitably falls into the collection with selected movie fiction.
