The long good legacy of 'The Long Good Friday'.
The Big Picture If you were to think about what movies most likely influenced the work of famed English filmmaker Guy Ritchie, it might be tempting to first look at the films of Quentin Tarantino. After all, Quentin Tarantino had breakout success in the early to mid-1990s, thanks to thrilling, darkly comedic, and post-modern crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction .
The Long Good Friday revolves around a man named Harold Shand , a brash and well-connected London gangster who has ambitions beyond a life of crime. The film details his attempts to go legitimate, particularly with an ambitious project surrounding the redevelopment of the London Docklands, potentially for the 1988 Olympics .
The Long Good Friday also throws viewers into a chaotic world right from the start, thanks to the murders early on and the way they kick off further dramatic and unfortunate events. Ritchie's early movies are similarly overwhelming, especially in early scenes, where viewers are introduced to what feels like an endless number of characters who all talk fast, have bad luck, and can seemingly wind up dead at any point in the story.
