Stylish magic that sets the mood of the movie in the first few minutes.
One of the highlights of how to enjoy a movie is the ``title background.'' It is an important introduction that signals the beginning of the movie, and it also has a magical presence that instantly draws the viewer into the world view. Sometimes that impact can even determine the overall impression and evaluation of the movie.
The styles vary from those using animation and graphics to unique fonts, unique designs, and compositions. This element also shines through with numerous designs by legendary designers. For example, Saul Bass (1920-96), known for Vertigo 's works such as `` Vertigo '' and ``Psycho' ', and Maurice Binder (1925-91), known for the Bond series including ``Dr. ) and others are extremely famous as gods of this path.
While these masterpieces from the 1950s and 1960s continue to fascinate us without fading in the slightest, in the 1990s Kyle Cooper's chillingly bizarre and addictive ' Seven's title background opened the door to a new era. Furthermore, the work of the design group Tomato on `` Trainspotting '' became a hot topic.
Then, with the arrival of 2000, director Guy Ritchie's second film, ``Snatch,'' created another stylish whirlwind.
"Snatch" opening title
At the beginning, when Benicio del Toro gets into his car after finishing a big job stealing diamonds, a light bass sound starts to echo from somewhere. In this way, to the song "Diamond" by Klint (Seva & Josh Harvey), a large number of characters are impressively introduced in quick succession, as if relaying the baton one by one. That is the general flow of the title background of this work.
Richie is naturally good at creating unique tempos and rhythms with super slow motion, frame-by-frame movement, and stillness, but in this scene, he makes the audience excited with each move, and captures the "snatching, quick grabbing" that "snatch" has. Just like that, he instantly captured the hearts of the audience. Nearly 20 years have passed since then, but Richie himself has yet to reach a moment that surpasses this one.
