Where does it all come from?


Guy Ritchie’s sense of humor is certainly derived from an uncommon place. Sociology would dictate that his experiences in life have influenced him to create the movies he has. His dyslexia generating trouble in school would steer him in a general direction of travel; traditionally disappointment and defeat. From there he found drug use and more failure in the conservative world. However, artistic vision is fortunately not judged or accredited by a clear and certain definition. It is a blessing that these individuals are given the chance to adhere to their potential so freely. His influences are uncertain, but one could rationalize that drug use was not too far away. Again, human experience and history are very redundant in nature. Macabre humor is labeled as a genre of comedy dealing with the more gruesome or deathlike environment. Ritchie has quickly realized his talent to convey this in his films and found astonishing success. His work in Snatch, led a revolution of this artistic vision of comedy. Not all audiences agree with this sort of absurdity and some even cringe at the thought of such perversion. However, in America it has found a home and a series of unlikely success. It seems that Mister Ritchie has found a home and an abundance of viewers to bring about a large monetary gain here in the U.S.
