Tony Scott delivered an idiosyncratic vision for blockbusters that will never be forgotten.
With Top Gun: Maverick now in theaters, we're looking back at the career of Tony Scott, the director behind the first Top Gun.
RELATED: Jason Reed on What a Disney Studio Production Executive Actually Does and What Almost Got Made But even more impressive than Tony Scott’s quintessential protagonists is the visual details that remind you that you’re watching a Tony Scott movie. This was a filmmaker who was unafraid to lend his film bombast in their photography. Just look at the beach volleyball scene from Top Gun, captured with bright sunlight, buoyant energy, and lingering shots on the male form lunging for balls.
Rather than inspire visual incoherence, Scott’s later approaches to editing and camerawork show purpose with every immediate cut, every swivel of the camera. Plus, they do a great job in immersing one in the time-sensitive stories of Pelham and Unstoppable, you can practically hear a clock ticking as Scott’s camera rushes to the next scene. These traits also feel like the natural evolution of how he framed that beach volleyball scene in Top Gun decades earlier.
This quality of the actors in Tony Scott’s work goes hand-in-hand with an especially wonderful trait in his films: self-seriousness. Titles like Enemy of the State weren’t dreary affairs, but they also didn’t pause to have characters make wisecracks about the situations they were in. Crimson Tide created comedy through general character interactions, not through having characters name-drop The Hunt for Red October.
