I am shocked and saddened to hear the news of Tony Scott’s
death.
He was a visionary director who had made so many great
movies in his amazing career. Top Gun,
a dazzling action film with true character. He displayed his talents in
orchestrating an Action Comedy in Beverly
Hills Cop II, a faithful sequel to a trailblazing classic. True Romance is one of my favorites and I
will always cherish it for showing the incredible range of Gary Oldman. And, Man
on Fire, a gritty revenge movie with a tragic ending that gives you an
emotional tug no matter how tough you think you are.
Tony Scott had such a recognizable, signature style; that
vibrant, colorful, sweaty, fast-paced, visceral style that defined the look of
the modern blockbuster.
This is not just a loss of what was, but a loss of what was
to come. It’s a shame we won’t get to see his future works, but he has certainly
given us some great movies to enjoy for years to come.
You will be missed, sir.
