Dynamic Tony Scott music that is still talked about today

This year marks 10 years since the death of master artist Tony Scott (1944-2012), and as I re-watch Scott's works from time to time throughout my life, I find it hard to believe that he is no longer in this world. This is because all of his films are filled with a sense of weight that makes you feel throbbing in your stomach, and the camera work that goes hand in hand with this is always dynamic. This is because they seem to be the movement of the soul with a vector completely opposite to death.

His career has been woven together in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, taking on ``depth'' by uncompromisingly fusing artistry and the atmosphere of the time.

Now, when I think about 2004's "Man on Fire," what naturally comes to mind are the characteristics associated with each of the three eras.

In other words, this film was originally proposed in the 1980s when Tony Scott was just starting out as a film director, but it was never realized at the time. Also, it is a work that returns Denzel Washington, who he worked with in the 1990s in `` Crimson Tide '' (1995), to star again. Moreover, it is an important work that determined the first flow of four collaborations with Washington in the 2000s.
