“Man on Fire” is a masterpiece that combines a love story and a revenge drama through the heroic life of the main character and the various productions of a master craftsman.

The amazingness of Dakota Fanning competing with Denzel Washington

The original story was set in Italy. At that time, there were a lot of kidnappings in Italy, so if this was a movie from the 1980s, it wouldn't have felt out of place. However, in the 2000s, times had completely changed, and organized kidnappings for ransom in Italy were no longer realistic.

Therefore, Scott focused on "Latin America" ​​as a possible alternative setting. Through his own research and location scouting, he acquired the film's unique raw, glaring, sun-drenched feel, and in the process, he also drew on his favorite work, City of God (2002), as an inspiration. It is said that it became a source of ration.

Tony Scott's skillful skill also showed great skill in directing the two lead actors. Rather than giving any specific instructions, I would say that he arranged things to make it easier for the two to perform and created an atmosphere that was conducive to them.

There is one interesting episode. In Scott's eyes, Denzel Washington has always been the type of actor who can "become the character," and once he leaves the trailer, he stays in the role even when the cameras aren't rolling, remaining silent and tense. It is said that Of course, he never spoke to Dakota Fanning on set, and from the director's perspective, he seemed very cold to her.

At that point, Scott thought of Fanning and said, ``It's okay,'' but the response was amazing. The little giant replied, "Yeah, I know. I've worked with Sean in the past, so I'm fine."

Sean is Sean Penn from `` I Am Sam '' (2001). He is also famous as a role-playing actor. I see, his career is quite different since he is called a genius child actor. She hasn't just been admired, she has had many special experiences and has absorbed everything that has led her to where she is now.

Denzel Washington is a great actor and is able to detect such professionalism quickly. As filming progressed, the relationship between Washington and Fanning, like the story itself, gradually softened, and before they knew it, they were even improvising in front of the camera. In other words, this is the birth of the partner with the greatest age difference in the history of Tony Scott's work. In fact, Washington freely praised Fanning, saying, ``I haven't met an actor with such an observant eye since Gene Hackman.''
