Themes, Influences, and Artistic Styles.

Growing up from a tough life, Guy Ritchie's films and themes mainly reflected off from his personal life. his first full length film " Lock, Stock and Two Smoking barrels" was introduced to his ex-wife Madonna with her sound track following up on the film.

Songs such as "What It Feels Like For a Girl" portays a controversial video, engaging in violent behavior in one of his films "Star". Guy Ritchies Influences came from his mom, sister Tabitha, and half brother Kevin. living through a tough life with a divorced mother is what pushed Ritchie to make it out on top.
