The fledgling work of the man they call Mr Boombastic
By NickSG (2 reviews) , 10 Apr 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
Of more interest to Scott aficionados than the casual viewer. This collection includes early (student) work by Tony Scott, and incorporates Ridley Scott's first foray into filmmaking 'Boy and Bicycle' which featured Tony as the eponymous 'boy'.
As a piece of study and an insight into a fledging blockbuster director of such varied works Top Gun, Crimson Tide, Man on Fire and the recent unstoppable, it comes highly recommended, this is the fledgling work of the director who would go on to give Simpson/Bruickheimer their signature look, that would later be utilised by every director working within the Jerry Bruickheimer canon, including, most notably, Michael Bay who admitted his and Bruckheimer's 'The Rock' was visually a direct homage to Tony Scott.
Certain familiar Scott visual cues are represented here, although there is a certain ponderous pace that has since been eliminated by his commercial career, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but there is a great deal of subtlety and feeling here... however, anyone expecting works that totally engage and are satisfying in a traditional narrative sense will no doubt be disappointed.
A documentary or interview footage wherein we could see the director look back and discuss this early work would have been welcome, as without that context and insight, the package by the BFI feels a little incomplete, and a missed opportunity to provide an insight into a director that not only defined Hollywood at it's most muscular in the late 80's, but crafted some of the most memorable commercials of the last 30 years and helped launch, with his brother, directing talents such as David Slade (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night, Twilight Eclipse), Neill Blomkampf (District 9) and Duncan Jones (Moon, Source Code).- Was this review helpful to you?

(2)Scott family history
By 20522 (35 reviews) from Leeds , 03 May 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
Loving Memory is beautifully filmed and well acted and you can see the directors talent at work. Probably not one for a general audience but if you have an interest in British Film History or the work of the Scotts, then this is a must. Some sort of commentary or interview with the director would have made this really interesting- Was this review helpful to you?
