Stay angry! Interpreting middle-aged Guy Ritchie and understanding "The Wrath of Man"

At first, I felt that this robbery/revenge story was too Hollywood, not like the kind of movies Guy Ritchie is good at making, but more... Like a B-level action movie with Jason Statham. After watching it, I realized that Old Guy could take such a mainstream commercial genre film and present it with his own unique directorial techniques: familiar intersection of multiple forces, different perspectives, disrupted chronological narrative, avant-garde and conservative The intertwined themes, gloomy tones, violent aesthetics, and the "coolness" in the heart are revealed.

"The Wrath of Man" has the popular "Guy Ritchie style", but as a commercial film, its story clues are relatively simplified compared to other Guy Ritchie movies. There is no fancy editing and narrative, and it can be regarded as a personal film. The product of a fusion of style and mainstream business stories. But don’t think that the film is Old Guy’s compromise on business, because the underlying core theme is still the director’s consistent appeal and feature. To use a phrase we all know, this is the director’s “private goods” in a typical genre film. ".

Audiences who are used to watching commercial crime films in the Hollywood system will find this narrative/filming method a very fresh experience. Having said that, "The Wrath of Man" will also make friends who are used to Hollywood movies feel strange when they first taste it, so I need to smooth it out here and put this multi-perspective, time-disrupting story in chronological order. , you should be able to get the core of the director.
