      @@stephen.gillen dear Mr Gillen, there's a question I always wanted to ask, and never saw anyone asking for it. Maybe fear of being laughed as naive guy.
      Here it is: what kindness represents in the mob wprld? Is it something not even considered? By exemple, would a mafia or gang guy would stole in the same way a poor family (for which a lost of X pounds, by exrmple, would be absolutely catastrophic) and a not-poor one (which can resist to a lost of X pounds)?
      Are mudered people mudered for a good reason (treason, etc) or just because outlaw guys love the thrill of being bad?

      Turkish, Tommy, Frankie Four Fingers (F3), and Doug the Head were all involved in both storylines. I would argue Sol and his boys as well as Boris the Blade were as well. They had to blagg the bookies and whack F3, which married the stone and the fight.

    Alan Ford auditioned 3x for Brick Top, but Sean Connery was also interested in the role. He watched Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and said to Guy "You can't afford me." Ford came back for an audition and forgot his contacts, wearing glasses to the gig and Guy gave him the job there and then.

Dunno how true that is.

      As an American, I actually prefer Snatch over Pulp Fiction. Don't get me wrong, Pulp Fiction is great, but there's something about the more simplistic nature of the story in Snatch that I find appealing. It's just very enjoyable to follow all these characters dealing with the boxing and the diamond and how they overlap. Also I prefer the editing in Snatch over Pulp. Idk, I think Pulp Fiction tries too hard to be serious sometimes, whereas Snatch strikes the perfect balance between comedy and gritty reality. It really hits hard when Micky's mom dies in her caravan, and the ending to snatch is way more satisfying with the Pikeys taking out Brick Top's gang.

It was only later that Premier League was cleaned up and turned into what it is today. A character like McEnroe was such a massive diviation from the norm that it made him a sort of heel-character and that always draws attention, unwanted or not.
      Can you imagine someone like McEnroe breaking into the Golfing world? Well, apart from Happy Gilmore, you can see what I mean. As long as they have the skill to back their trashtalk up, they will become popular in record time.

Fun fact about Brad Pitt's character. He had multiple dialect coaches to help him craft a dialect that would be a mix of English and Irish..he didn't like it after they started shooting and Pitt changed it himself to what we git in the final movie. Guy Ritchie was blown away at how masterful Pitt's dialect sounded. He said it felt like we had a real life UK Traveller personality on set.

    I have to say, as a black man living in the United States I freakin love this movie, it's a classic!! I've watched this movie at least 50 times or more.

    My grandmother watched this movie and found it hilarious. She was a war bride and left England in 1945. She recognized all the verbal lingo.

    Steven makes me laugh watching his reactions to these scenes its like he's having flash backs of real events that tickled him back in the day.....Got to agree as well though Snatch is one of the best Gangster movies not just from the U.K but Worldwide in my opinion,its up there.👌😉

    Magnificent review from a man on the front line. Lock Stock and Snatch are without doubt my two favourite movies. The cinematic experience is gritty, almost raw, and throughout both movies, the characters, larger than life, the premise of the movies, larger than life, the diamond in Snatch, larger than life!
    The whole thing wrapped up with soooo many short sharp quotable lines.
    Written, and executed, beautifully.

      Idiotic thugs are adjacent to gangsters, the way annoying customers are adjacent to store desk workers.

    I managed to get the special edition of this movie on DVD. One of the features was subtitles. I thought that was kind of strange but, okay.
    Turns out the reason why subtitles was a special feature is because one of the subtitle options was "pikey"... Excuse me? Okay I got to see this.
    Basically the subtitles were normal, until Mickey was talking. Whenever he was talking the subtitles transferred to a? On the screen... The entire time. Lol!

    Wow, I was pleasantly surprised by this guy's videos. I've seen a variety of UA-cam channels that review movies, and more often than not, they're all kind of the same. Not this guy, however; felt like I was listening to a professor from the USC film department lol. I enjoyed your analysis of the characters, while also inserting some of your own personal experiences for added context. The video flowed very nicely; well done man!

    Great movie, very entertaining. I'll even forgive the blooper in the script because I love the scene.
    ie. The bet is "If I win the fight I get the caravan and the boys get a pair of those shoes, if I lose F it, I'll do the fight for free". Wasn't the whole premise that he would intentionally lose in the 4th round?

    First off, Snatch is my favorite Guy Ritchie movie. 2nd, Brad Pitt was very hard to understand when I saw the movie on the big screen. However, at home, I can hear everything just fine. I've seen Snatch probably 40 times. It's one of those movies that, when it's on, I stop and watch it no matter where it is in the movie. Guy lost his way for a few films, but, it seems like he may be back to himself again with his last couple.

    I would love to see Stephen react to Útlaginn/Outlaw, a favourite of mine. It's an old Icelandic movie based closely on one of the viking sagas. It is no blockbuster and its age is showing and its all in old style icelandic but the story is great. The characters are just ordinary people, no superhuman stunts or anything, just families locked into the vicious cycle of revenge killing that was a prevailing problem in viking age society. I'd like to see his reaction to something historical is what I'm saying

  • @craigwilson4439
    @craigwilson4439 Рік тому +1

    Hey mate, just watched you for the first time and it was the snatch reaction. I also really enjoyed that movie and although I'm in Australia have many old friends over the years that could have been some of those characters. I think when you've been around a bit that if you're lucky enough to get a bit older you can see the humor in certain once very serious situations. You remind of some of my pommy mates and are the right man for this gig. I've subscribed and look forward to watching all your stuff. All the best and cheers from Australia.
