My Take
Guy Ritchie is proof that film school is optional but a point of view is not. He left school at fifteen, learned the trade from the bottom, and turned that street-level education into a signature: overlapping chatter, kinetic cutting, criminals who talk like poets with bad intentions. I love that his shelf holds both an Edgar Award and a pair of Razzies — he swings hard enough to miss spectacularly, then steadies himself with crowd-pleasers like Sherlock Holmes and Aladdin. The judo background and business ventures fit the persona: a scrapper who treats filmmaking as a contact sport. British gangster cinema owes him a genre.
