Thank you to Harry's and Express VPN. Let's do it. I can understand now why we got so many requests for that one. I mean, that was old school guy Richie, new school guy, Richie,

Starting point is 00:01:42 but there was just so many different things. But I loved all the stylistic choices as we always get, the reveals that later come on. My favorite part of the, at least, I mean, all the acting was phenomenal, but I freaking loved Colin Farrell so much. And Hugh Grant, that was just one. of those roles were like I could just close my eyes, listen to him and I would not hear Hugh Grant in any way, shape, or form. But the storyline was so interesting. I love, it was very easy to follow

Starting point is 00:02:09 and I'd love just, you know, the, I just thought it was really cool. I'm just, you know, trying to, the whole thing of just like the whole King theme and all that, but also too, like the whole idea of, you know, with, I believe his name was Michael, where he wanted to buy it for a certain price then he hired a dry eye to drive the price down and then you know the whole the whole way the story was structured with you grant and again the reveals that later came on and just so damn well executed and i freaking loved it uh i got more to say but what did you think i thought that was a brilliant brilliant film all around um hold on one second guys if you're listening this and For Spotify, we just watch the gentleman.

Starting point is 00:02:56 I just wanted to check out some things here. Okay, so Rotta Tomatoes to say, it may not win a writer-director guy Richie many new converts. For those already attuned to the film maker's brash wank length, the gentleman stands tall. I don't know. I feel like this is actually a pretty solid Guy Ritchie introduction film. I think it's attainable for anybody.

Starting point is 00:03:18 Because the movie is very, like, it's got all the way. of the things you kind of grew up loving with guy richie because there's like studio i mean it's this is mirror maximum sort of there's a studio element to it because yeah like the the films that i saw of guy richie you know growing up like most people uh were you know lock stock and snatch and the films that we watch are not at all like those lately right at the last few films that's if they're watching sherlock homes watching aladdin and then watching uh you know wrath of man here and man from uncle and while wrath of man deals with criminals it's not you know gangster cool you know it's

Starting point is 00:03:58 vendetta and revenge whip snap dialogue of this movie i feel like just had such a cool wonderful blend of personality great characters messing with structure in the way how guy richie likes to mess with structure uh it keeps your mind kind of guessing you don't realize how invested you are in the characters till they're on the verge of being killed. Yeah. We're like, oh, shit, I actually like this guy. I don't want them to die. You know, because it's usually a question that happens with me for films, like how emotionally invested am I

Starting point is 00:04:31 in the characters? A lot of times when I find them in positions where they're about to die, are like, oh, no. And then it feels exciting when they are about to be saved. And it's a, and like Guy Richie films of the, before, you know, what a deal with criminal gangsters and, you know, to Underworlds, this is the one that deals with a higher class of them, like a higher sophistication mark, whereas before it's kind of like low-level gangsters, you know, and the

Starting point is 00:05:00 monkey, grimy parts, bare-knuckle boxing and whatever, you know, thieves. And here, because he's got like probably more of a budget and the experience, you're dealing with like Aristocrats now, you're dealing with a whole new class of characters, yet it still has got whoa whoa Andrew yet it's still got this like grounded focus throughout with a lot of it's just exciting

Starting point is 00:05:25 turns and points because those movies are I find them really fun lockstock and snatch and I think they're like incredibly entertaining with this one kind of gave me a new kind of tension like those are so stylistically cool

Starting point is 00:05:42 and I love those I really love those two films but here I found myself engrossed in the suspense a lot of the time and the tension and then the the unexpected laughs that would come out via through the characters in the back and forth. This felt like a world like he built a world here and I was very surprised by how that world was done because I didn't really know what we were walking into. I kind of expected to feel a little bit more like the guy Richie that when he first came onto the scene.

Starting point is 00:06:16 But it's also, like, weirdly not as flashy as I thought it might get in terms of just the direction. It's more flashy in the writing, you know, whereas I think with stuff like Rath a Man and Man from Uncle that we watch, it's more flashy in the direction. And I think here, like, the writing actually speaks a lot more volumes than the direction. Like, they're going to run under some, like, cool, flashy, stylistic direction that are happening throughout. But it's more, it's more, though, the writing of the game.

Starting point is 00:06:43 For sure. A lot of that really sings the most of me. Yeah, no, I agree. I love that dreary suspenseful tone while still creating a fun environment. And also to just piggybacking off what you said with the direction, I love how so many of these characters, like, you know, you get this calm demeanor from a lot of these characters, but like in they can, in a split second, can just get extremely scary on a dime. I mean, you even said, too, there was a sequence. where you're like, we haven't seen a Matthew McConaughey scene where he gets like extremely intense and frightening. And then, boom, right then and there. It's like Guy Ritchie was listening to you. But I like that. Because I think that's more frightening when characters can

Starting point is 00:07:28 seem very calm all throughout, you know, film. And then in any flash or instance, they can just frightenly come out of their shell, if you will. So I really appreciated the direction from Guy Ritchie in terms of performances. I really like that. the actress who played Matthew McConaughey's wife. Like, she was able to, from an actress point of view, she was really able to stand, you know, on the same toes with Matthew McConae. Yeah, especially for a very masculine movie.

Starting point is 00:07:55 Yeah, for sure. And I just loved the interactions between them. Like, they were just so opposite of each other, but they were also so perfect for each other. Like the king of the jungle and the queen, I just, I loved all the interactions there. They were so good. Yeah, man.

Starting point is 00:08:09 Yeah, I think like this is a great crime caper with a with a with a fascinating sort of like a bit of a flamboyant touch I would say you know what I mean yeah like especially like the Hugh Grant character the the the Matthew character yes I thought was excellent and what I what I like to in terms of casting and Grant it's like I haven't seen every Colin Farrell role I haven't seen every um well more so I haven't seen every Hugh Grant role and I haven't seen every Charlie Hunter role but usually from the roles I have seen them in especially Hugh Grant in particular where even watching him a man from uncle, you're like, yeah, it's like

Starting point is 00:08:43 more sophisticated Hugh Grant, you know? Yeah. Usually Hugh Grant is just Hugh Grant to me. Like, I always like watching him. I always think he's a very charming guy. Yeah. I think he's a star, but he's usually just Hugh Grant. And here

Starting point is 00:08:59 really stepping out of his element. He was a character. Like, he was a full-fledged character and I loved the way he changes cadence, the voice. It was very believable. sleazy, you know, another cunning character here. Like Guy Ritchie's great at illustrating characters who are cunning,

Starting point is 00:09:19 but then juxtaposing it with a character I feel like might have gone to like a Vinnie Jones back in the day. Colin Farrell, I think, might have been like a Vinny Jones kind of character. Totally see that. Of this guy who's like, well, yeah, he gets, he rides the line between like, you know, like the world he inhabits and the streets he inhabits have it, have gangs involved so he will like have to once in a while

Starting point is 00:09:44 participate with the gangs but he himself is not a gangster you know and but wanting to be a mentor for the kids as well I thought was a really nice like that whole introduction scene where you just think he's going to like beat the shit out of these kids and then it just ends with him saying come by the gym sometime like it's so great

Starting point is 00:09:59 and he just had like the funniest lines and Charlie Hunnam especially too I thought played he had that kind of like elegance about him but he's got that loyalty of like a Brad Pitt to George Clooney in the Ocean's movies, you know, that kinship between them. It seems like their bond extends further past. This is just some guy he works for, but the movie doesn't, you know, shine a spotlight too much on that.

Starting point is 00:10:23 It's just right. I think everyone's camera, like to hear that this is getting a series. I don't know if it's just in the world of the gentleman, if it's these characters of the gentleman with new actors. I don't know what they're doing with that series. But like I said, I think here he did build a world and this world. is one that seems like a great one to, like, dabble in. And it is a super, super masculine film, but hell yeah, man, I'm here for the supermass.

Starting point is 00:10:48 And I'm rich. She never really makes a movie where it's a... And I'm super appreciative of the fact, like, that he can subvert our expectations so much. And again, it's not subverting just to subvert, but he does it in a way that's very satisfactory. And it services the story and the characters. And it's just so well executed when he does it. And it's to the point, too, when you can rewatch these movies and go, ah, okay, like, you

Starting point is 00:11:09 can pick up on things. And also, too, I got to give Matthew McConaug props that monologue at the end when he was calling out Michael, you know, like saying like, hey, how you screwed over the deal and then the Froza Chinaman thing. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:11:22 But when he said like the whole pound of flesh thing and then like my wife and then he got in his face. Freaking powerful acting. I mean, the acting in this film was just top, fricking notch. I mean, Charlie Hunter, I'm seeing too, with the kids.

Starting point is 00:11:35 Yes. Yeah, yeah. And then pulled out that machine. Oh, yeah. I was like, where was hey, hiding that thing. How it ends in that with the machine gum, but when he's first taunting him. Because at first,

Starting point is 00:11:45 I wasn't sure about the dynamics. In the beginning of this journey, I wasn't sure like, okay, am I not going to be on the same page as everyone who's recommended this movie? Because I'm not exactly loving the way, because it was a lot of information to kind of be keeping up with.

Starting point is 00:12:01 Like, it's throwing you into this world. And it's starting off into Mikey's perspective. Yeah. And it's going by pretty quick. And a where you like, oh, you got to keep up with that guy, Richie, you know, energy and pace. And eventually, I'm not sure when it was when it was like, oh, I'm really starting to like a groove. I'm vibing with the movie now, you know, because it is like a dance to this film. And you got to kind of like as an audience ever got to, you know, dance your way with the film as well.

Starting point is 00:12:27 And, and there was a, I don't know when the, when the pivot point happened for me when I really started like it. Because in the beginning, I was a little unsure of like, oh, am I not going to love this in the same way how I feel like people might expect to love this movie. I loved it. But once you attune to it and you really get a sense of the style. Yeah. And the fact that it can be, yeah, British banter with some fun, plot twists, all the machinations that you love of a Guy Ritchie experience yet with, I think,

Starting point is 00:12:58 I mean, he always has heart. That's another thing too. You know, like, I think a lot of people often compare a guy Ritchie just like, oh, you know, he's British Tarantino. I think he's a little bit more, I don't think he's that. Like, I see the similarities. Of course, especially with this one, that has so much cinematic references throughout in the cinematic metanus, which is something to say, I love that so much. Like Tarantino especially loves to call attention to that in a lot of his films, and I don't really associate guy.

Starting point is 00:13:26 I see Guy Ritchie pay homage and tribute. I don't really see his characters, unless I'm just completely forgetting. I don't really hear his characters often do that where this was so about that, you know, from this unreliable narrating. standpoint of Hugh Grant talking about pitching a film ending with pitching a film like it's so meta by the end to the point. It's at Miramax. Yeah. You know, which I thought was really fun and cheeky. But in a way that I think complements the experience of this movie. And so I understand when people compare like him to Tarantino, but I don't feel like, I don't feel like they're one and the same, honestly. I think they're very, I think there's so much differences between them and

Starting point is 00:14:04 especially in like the mood and the editing style, whereas this is a little. bit more of a patient version of I would say of a it's still fast and energetic it's I don't know if the it's a slow it's not as not as fast as like a snatch or a lockstock I would say but I wouldn't call it slow either whatever the word is to make me sound smart put that word there apply it here and Tarantino is usually a lot more deliberate regardless and and I think Guy Richie is is much more tuned to like yeah you know rights for the edit in a lot of ways and as usual I mean the non-linear storytelling, just again, very meticulous and very well executed because you can really screw that up with bad editing and not, you know, putting it in the right spot. So I thought

Starting point is 00:14:50 it once again, like he clearly loves going to that technique of nonlinear storytelling. Him and Christopher Nolan clearly love that angle. And again, if you're going to do it, you've got to do it right. Big thanks to ExpressVPN for sponsoring this video. A real game changer I've been using for years. That's right. Years.

And Henry Golding as well, another guy who played, like I've seen this guy in two movies be interviewed him once for snake guys. Oh, cool. And snake guys. which I know didn't get great reviews really nice guy we talked to him he was really funny called John and I said we look like Jay and Silent Bob

Starting point is 00:18:40 really yeah you guys look like you guys look like Clark especially at the time and silent Bob especially the time when we interviewed him we had longer hair and bigger beards I did you and he's like you look like

Starting point is 00:18:52 Clark's something the funniest thing I got to watch that interview yeah so we got to meet a really nice guy and you know we saw he did some Christmas movie with Amelia Clark. I figure what it was.

Starting point is 00:19:05 The Christmas movie, Crazy Rich Asians, most people know from that, love them. And the guy wasn't even an actor. He was a host, and he got crazy rich Asians. Now he's found himself in this world of acting, and I love seeing him play so against type. Like, I think he did something

Starting point is 00:19:21 with his teeth, because I'm pretty sure the guy's perfect teeth. And he embodied like a nastiness. And I loved Guy Richie, you know, casting actors who kept playing against type. Like Matthew McConaughey, was probably the only one who did what I would expect

Starting point is 00:19:36 Matthew McConaughey to do and he does a great job he's great in the movie like he's very he's just unbelievably natural at it at the same time you're like yeah I don't know anything about this movie yet this is exactly what I expected from

Starting point is 00:19:52 Matthew McConaughey in this film just that suavness that debonair quality that he brings yet you know he could be like a total badass slick monologues, the way he carries that dialogue with that Southern Charm. Yeah, I thought he was excellent, but everyone

Starting point is 00:20:08 else, the cast of characters that were surrounded by, were, they all played, so much of them played against type or just did something I hadn't really quite seen before. Colin Farrell's done such a variety of roles that wouldn't really call it like against type. But, Hugh Grant. But definitely, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:20:24 I was very much a dazzle by it. Yeah, I was not expecting that from Hugh Grant, just because I'm so used to seeing certain type of roles from him. And like I said, if I closed my eyes and was listening to that voice, I would never say that's Hugh Grant. So, I mean, that was like you said, his character was completely fully fleshed and I really loved him. I'd probably say him and Colin Farrell were my favorite in terms of characters in this film. But all the acting was superb in this. I mean, watching Charlie, Andrew, I'm paying for two and a half hours.

Starting point is 00:20:51 So give me like 10 more minutes of you. Okay. All right, Matt. All right. It stays in the video. Let's do this. It's going to talk about the gentleman. I'm done.

Starting point is 00:21:00 I don't even want to talk more. I'm just going to make up shit to talk about. All right. Let's do it. Well, we got to talk about. Charlie Hunnam, what you think? Oh, this movie was making me go. I would love to see Charlie Hunnam and Colin Farrell.

Starting point is 00:21:12 Like, like, not just, oh, yeah, that's a great wish. But to do a movie together or like to start the next guy. Because even though they don't have a lot of scenes together, they had that impact when those two were on screen. Yes. Of this chemistry that I sort of felt was unmatched. between anybody else. It's like Charlie Hunnam is usually paired up with Matthew McConaughey here.

Starting point is 00:21:36 But there was something about the dynamics and the chemistry between those two characters and the way they riffed off of each other. A lot of times and just expressions that they would kind of share to each other that I thought that really made me go, wow, I want to see these two characters come back or I want to see them starring another guy,

Starting point is 00:21:53 Richie film together, or starring something together because their chemistry to me had so much conveyed and communicated when they weren't even speaking a lot of the time. Yeah. And they were the two that I thought did that the strongest out of this wonderful ensemble of characters. Yeah, I only had a couple of scenes together. But yeah, the way they were emoting and their facial expressions, it was just like so infectious to watch. I just, yeah, for sure. And I love the unexpectedness, too, of like the gangster children.

Starting point is 00:22:22 Oh, yes, yes. The kids, you grew up in the rough side of these streets, but they kind of, you grow up in these streets, you find a way, a life of crime. That's kind of like the, the, where you get the guiding mentor role of Colin Farrell coming in who wants to steer kids clear from that. Like I said, it's grounded in a world, but there's also world building. And Greg, they gave us one of the greatest rap songs ever put on film.

Starting point is 00:22:42 Yeah. I thought the unexpectedness of that was great because when they're all coming in one at a time at the marijuana farm, you're thinking they're all going to beat up these kids. Yeah, yeah. With like one guy's coming after another, like, all right, they're about to get the crap beaten out of them.

Starting point is 00:22:57 And then they play the footage you find out. Never mind. That's not the case. at all. Again, that's Guy Ritchie's style, just revealing something later on. I love it. Oh, no, this is a very, oh, I think it's a sequel show. Because this fallen guy, Eddie Halstead, inherits a largest date from his father, unaware it was from Pearson's Drug Empire.

Starting point is 00:23:16 Huh. Yeah. Oh, oh, Giancarlo Esposito's in it? Oh. As a criminal? Oh, so yeah, it's got to be a sequel show. That makes my, I'm more happy about that. I'd rather not watch that than a remake.

Starting point is 00:23:30 Yeah, yeah. Of course. Guy Ritchie's involved, I would have assumed. But even that with like these estates who keep the cash flow coming in via this illegal weed market dealing is a really compelling, again, world building. Yeah. That's like so broad. I was going to say, even if they didn't do the sequel series, I would have been fascinated if they, even if they didn't get Matthew McConaughey back, like you could have cast it a younger version just showing like how he came up with the whole ID, even though they. kind of showed that in just what he was talking about with Michael, I believe, the character's

Starting point is 00:24:05 name was, or Matthew. It's hard for me to wrap my head around. Because Matthew is, is not Matthew McConaughey. He's a fine boy and the guy who dicks him over. Yes. Correct. Yeah. But I mean, that would have been interesting. But again, just continuing on that, that whole thing with the estates and all that. Yeah, that's so compelling and fascinating itself that I think that warrants what they're going to do with the series. And yeah, that fascinates me enough to want to continue on watching with that. I think that's the smart way to go story-wise. Holy shit. Okay, fun facts time.

Starting point is 00:24:36 Hugh Grant filmed the scenes of Charlie Hunnam in five days. He had dizzled over 40 pages of dialogue during this year. Jesus. 40 pages of dialogue and five days. And with that tough accent too. Whoa. That's not easy. Oh, they didn't even, Hugh Grant never met

Starting point is 00:24:53 Matthew McConaughey. Yeah, they didn't have any scenes. They didn't have any scenes together. Raymond's grill was designed by Guy Ritchie. cool wow so much of this are about uh Hugh Grant yeah uh Hugh Grant wrote a cheat sheet the night before he's scheduled to shoot his car was broken into the robber took his script and the cheat sheet so Grant needed to go without the damn that's not tough oh guy Richie uh wrote the TV miniseries yeah yeah oh sweet that's what it said was guy rich you're working at um you called that one richie brewery you called that one actually is this in his own by director

Starting point is 00:25:30 a guy richie oh okay oh funny i just thought that was him just putting his own history i mean i think the company is his yeah yeah yeah yeah richie yeah oh funny there were no table readings for the film so like guy richie had the cast do full rehearsals with multi-angle camera more more natural that way richie would then review footage at the scenes and revise the script accordingly oh brilliant brilliant it's i think it came out more natural that way i mean i think when it comes to acting he knows how to cast he knows how to cast and he knows how to get his i think that's why actors you know even though some of his films kind of like mixed review like reviews from the critics actors come back to work with him for a reason yeah no i have not seen again i i i didn't

Starting point is 00:26:11 really watch aladdin i or i watched 10 minutes i didn't really give it a chance but every film i've ever watched of his actors wise and acting performance and directors wise i've always thought like i've loved all the performances i've watched for sure so i can see why like i would imagine being on a guy rich he said and working for him they love working with him and i see that henry cavill's about to do another film with him yeah it's true i think show is coming out uh guy or it's out by the time this video drops yeah guy richie has a deep interest in fashion and was very concerned with the wardrobe for the film concerned i'm concerned about the way the wardrobe is going to to prepare charlie hunter for his role ritchie took him

Starting point is 00:26:50 clothing shopping to get a feel for his character and it's funny because part of the script is uh is about uh you know the the the importance of wardrobe uh very early on in the story Many of Michelle Dockery's monologues were written or rewritten on the day of shooting. She had mere hours to memorize changes. Jesus, I can't even imagine how tough that was. Oh, Kay Beckinsel was originally cast of the role of Roseline. That's the wife, right? Yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 00:27:13 I could totally see her. I still think Michelle Dockery did fantastic, but I could totally see Cape Cancel doing that role. The tracksuits for off the game were custom. Man, the attention of fashion are very important. Sting. We just talked about, I accidentally mentioned Stingwood before we started filming too. Though never mentioned the movie, fans found an Easter revealing Fletcher's first name to be Peter.

Starting point is 00:27:39 At around six minutes in the cover of the screenplay, Peter Fletcher can be seen in the bottom left corner. That is a funny reference. Working towels were tough guys and Bush. Nah, the gentleman. It's more universal. on his character he said his character is based on general slees ha ha ha ha

Starting point is 00:28:02 uh... okay I've tried to see there's any quick fan fact no not as fun not as fun not as fun we got to watch a legend of the sword oh king

Starting point is 00:28:18 oh wasn't Charlie Hunnam in that one yeah he plays king Arthur and like you said actors love coming back to work with Guy Ritchie. Got to see Brad Pitt come back to do another film with Guy Ritchie. That I want to say. It's usually like the A-list, you know, white guys who don't come back. Matthew McConaughey.

Starting point is 00:28:40 Robert Downey, Jr., Brad Pitt. I'm like, no, we're one and done. Sorry, buddy. Robert Dottie came back for the sequel. Well, I mean, nothing else. Other than a sequel, we're one or two and done with you. After that, I was like, no, never mind. We're too famous.

Starting point is 00:28:53 Yeah. We got shit to do. Um, but yeah, man, I would give this, oh, music great, everything great. Always picks out great songs in his films. I mean, he can do no wrong when it comes to the music. I can't wait to see the show. I hope the show's good. If he's not directing it, do I really want to watch it? I feel like his voice is part of the voice of it is his direction. Yeah, as long as he's a creator and a writer, I'd be fascinated just to take a look at it at minimum. I wouldn't, I wouldn't be surprised if he at least did an episode. I mean, they said it was eight episodes. So I wouldn't be surprised if he did an episode. episode. Probably the pilot. Yeah. I mean, even Tim Burton did at like, what, four or five episodes of Wednesday. And he's about, and he's doing Beetlejuice too right now. So yeah, I got to imagine he did at least one. I don't know. But I mean, as long as he's writing, creating it, I'm going to at least have a look at it for sure. Because I was just so fascinated by this world. It must mean it's a big film. Yeah, I loved it. Guys, what do you think about the gentleman? What would you rate it down below? Is there anything in here, Andrew, before I let you go, that you think you did not like or could have been improved?

Starting point is 00:29:54 hard to say right now but overall um no it was for the most part i loved it um another great guy richie film uh so far i have not seen any films of his where i did not like i just love his stylistic choices i love non the way he utilizes nonlinear story telling those where he comes back to reveal things uh subversion of expectations uh i just really solid director i love the comparison you made in our man from uncle video where he obviously does not get the recognition and i'm not saying he says great but he's really damn close in my mind uh to christopher nolan i know take that with what you will um but you know uh i just really big fan of his and i'm so glad this journey we're getting to go on watching his films he's damn good yeah especially in terms of precision and

Starting point is 00:30:42 calculation of how he how he does things you know um yeah they make very different films but yeah of course of course. All righty, guys. Thank you for being here. And we'll talk with you all soon.
