Re: Guy Ritchie style editing

All these films came after Lock, Stock so they could be said to have "imitated" his style.

Sexy Beast
Gangster No. 1
Played

You can also see stylistic similarities in many movies and TV; Oceans, The Dark Knight, 24...

But what is a style anyway? Separate elements that make up a whole? A genre? Could he be said to have started a movement like French New Wave? I doubt it; on the surface, he's obviously influenced by Scorsese and Tarantino so can he really lay claim to a style or genre himself?

What if it there were a romantic comedy done in his style? Would you be able to say it looks like a Guy Ritchie movie? Maybe, maybe not.

It's difficult because we recognize his style on the surface but when you begin to analyze and quantify the elements that make up his movies what do you actually get? Not much that's new.
