Haha! Bravo, thank you for pointing me in the right direction with this movie. The best summation of the intention of the movie, and Guy Ritchie's egoistical wish to be portrayed as a genious.
I'm ot saying that Ritchie isn't a great director, he has mostly made his films work, and has made a name for himself.
Nor am I saying that his message about the ego in this movie isn't true. But that is how far I, as most others, understood this movie.
But luckily, Here Here Here decided to post here, and was able to point the way, further than the issue Guy tried to address in Revolver. Paradoxically, Guy who is talking about fighting your own ego and stand honest in front of yourself despite what others might say, is trying to make his resume look better in the industry, by composing an artsy surrealistic environment, in order to avoid action/humour genre branding - he is feeding his own ego, according to his message in Revolver.
I think this movie is a good watch, and not a waste of time, but I do also find Guy's message and his own self-promotion even more interesting than the movie. I do applaud Guy for having the courage to try out something new distanced from the basic down-trodden action path he has taken in his career. This is one of his first tries, and as such, the viewer could expect clumsiness, but I think Guy can only improve.
Thanks for pointing this Guy issue out HereHereHere!
