“The Martian” is a fantastic picture of 2015, which became yet another clear confirmation of the talent possessed by Ridley Scott. The filmography of the star director contains tapes of various genres, since he never refuses to experiment, not letting himself and the audience get bored. What kind of films did the audience like most?
Filmography Ridley Scott: The First Movie
The debut picture, with which the director appeared before the judges of the Cannes Film Festival, is called "Duelists", it was released in 1977. This creation unfairly remains unmentioned when the best tapes that Ridley Scott created are listed. The filmography should necessarily include a picture that not only became the master’s brainchild, but also received the award “For the Best Debut”.
The action takes place at a time when men still had the right to resolve inconsistencies with a duel. History illuminates the life path of two French officers who actually lived in the era of Napoleonic companies. Enemy friends could not figure out which of them possessed weapons more professionally. The number of fights that took place between them approached 30 in twenty years.
Ridley Scott's most famous painting
Despite the director’s debut in 1977, his name became known to the public in 1979. It was then that the famous horror “Alien” came out, whose contribution to the formation of modern cinema is not in doubt. The filmography of Ridley Scott did not just acquire a picture of a space monster attacking a group of astronauts. This is also a new look at heroes who no longer looked like ideal characters, devoid of flaws.
It is impossible not to mention the image created by Sigourney Weaver. It was her role that popularized the role of a female warrior, actively circulated by cinema. Plus - special effects cause surprise, thanks to which the picture is able to compete with many modern spectacular blockbusters.
Ridley Scott's best drama
When the first rumors appeared about the shooting of the picture, where the action takes place during the time of the Roman Empire, the film predicted failure. Antique themes have not occupied American viewers for many years. However, now the “Gladiator” is called the best of what was directed by director Ridley Scott. The filmography of the master in 2000 was enriched by a bright and touching picture that I want to revise.
In the center of the plot is a general who has become a victim of treachery, who has lost his wife and son and dreams only of revenge. Will he be able to put an end to the life of the insidious emperor, who killed not only his family, but also his own father? Especially if the general, by the will of fate, was turned into an ordinary gladiator, forced to fight in the amphitheater arena.
Five Oscars - exactly the same received the largest film that Ridley Scott has ever made. The filmography was replenished with a work that won the Best Film Award; antique themes returned to fashion again, as did the demand for other historical eras.
Ridley Scott's best comedy
The director’s habit of constantly changing the genres of his works turned out to be an excellent comedy story for the audience. “Great Scam” - a picture of 2003, the creation of which Ridley Scott perfectly coped. The filmography of the genius was enriched by the story of ingenious swindlers. The fraudster, played by the charming Nicholas Cage, devotes his suddenly-found daughter to his profession in particular.
Among the successful comedic works with elements of drama can be reckoned an earlier picture. This is Thelma and Louise, a film presented to the public in 1991. The story tells of the fate of two women forced to hide after the murder of a rapist. By the way, it was this tape that became fatal for Brad Pitt, after it his popularity has seriously increased.
