Guy Ritchie's "Revolver"

When I heard that Guy Ritchie's "Revolver" had been dissed in the UK, I almost passed out!
Seriously Dollz, I was like, "Huh? You mean those blasted hob-nobby English film critics didn't get it? Come on!"
I was blown away.
When I read that "Revolver" was receiving serious recognition in its DVD format in the United States I was more surprised because I had always believed that Europe, being as old as it is, was more advanced in certain areas - it just goes to show, eh!

I watched "Revolver" and I LOVED it! I had to work really hard to keep up, I must admit, as with all of Jason Statham's movies: it's like he only does films that appear to be a simulation of an acid trip - not that I have even dreamed of doing such ridiculous drugs, but I have seen Statham's previous movie, and I forgot to breathe the entire time. With that movie, one didn't have to think, merely observe and take the brunt of the action.
In "Revolver" you really have to THINK and you need to LISTEN...so is that what the UK critics were adverse to then? Thinking and listening while at the cinema?
Perhaps they got distracted by all the Americanized action and drama?
Well, I would encourage those critics to hire the DVD, better still, BUY THE DVD, and watch it - and this time, Darlings, LISTEN AND THINK as you watch - you'll be amazed at the liberation that occurs simultaneously with the leading actor, when he is liberated...
In two words, Guy: BRILLIANT & BEAUTIFUL.
The cinematography is beautiful - the concept is brilliant.

"MTV: What was the first idea that sparked "Revolver"?
Ritchie: The genesis was that you're protecting your own fears. You're protecting your own demons and the liberation of self by finding them and facing them. And your mind is completely conditioned to work in the opposite direction. One has to transcend or surpass one's own intellect. You're only fighting yourself. I found that idea tremendously stimulating. You're at war with yourself, but your mind would never let you know you're at war with yourself. "
