``The Hunger'' Tony Scott's artistic vampire story in his debut novel

How does the public react to this narcissistic movie?



In order to meet expectations, Tony poured all the experience and methods he had cultivated in the commercial world, as well as all his passion into this work, and completed a Vipare movie rich in artistry in a form close to his ideal type. .


According to Tony's own DVD audio commentary, this film draws heavily on influences such as the work of Nicolas Roeg, whom he respects, and the unique style of photographer Helmut Newton. Furthermore, Smoke is often used to create a fantastical atmosphere in even the smallest scenes, and it is said that this way of weaving images was inherited from his brother Ridley's work.


Every scene is suspicious, from the costumes to the art to the special makeup that makes David Bowie age quickly (he worked on `` Little Giant ''/70, `` Amadeus ''/84, and Kiyoshi Kurosawa's ``Sweet Home''/ Even down to the master artist Dick Smith (also known as 89), every detail has been meticulously crafted and is breathtakingly beautiful.

However, due to this focus on visual beauty and fantasy, the sense of speed in the narrative has been lost, and the magnetic field of the story that attracts the audience has disappeared. I also regret that by trying to convey emotional appeal through visuals, I ended up with a tendency toward ``difficulty in understanding'' and ``indivisibility.''


As a result, while the film was hailed as a cult film by some fans, it was harshly criticized by audiences and critics, calling it ``narcissistic'' and ``difficult to understand.'' The first page of Tony Scott's film career began with a ``total denial'' of the work he put so much effort into creating.He studied at the Royal College of Art and was an artist who once wanted to be a painter. It must have been a very painful experience for Tony, who is very ambitious.


With this reputation, there was no way he would receive any new film offers, and he was left completely out of business for three years. During that time, he returned to his old company's world of commercials and music videos, and continued to steadily work on making videos.
