Poor Guy Ritchie
» Movies
Descendant of Edward I, Mr. Madonna to most of us. Guy Ritchie can’t get no respect. Critics and the public see no virtues in his latest film, Revolver. How one pities the rich and famous.
I remember a psychologist friend of mine observing that Ritchie’s films “seemed to be made by a man who hates women. He’s all about a violent, squalid world in which men grab each other’s balls [there’s a testicle-crunching scene in Lock Stock and a genital stabbing in Snatch]. What is he doing married to a woman whose career has been based on female emancipation? Why on earth is she so publicly, ridiculously hitching her credibility to his?”
So, where did it all go wrong for Guy Ritchie?
