Life is too short

Director guy Ritchie spoke to MTV News and he was more than happy to defend his “Revolver“, and even weighed in on “Swept Away” and the possibility of working with Madonna again.

Here’s an excerpt:

MTV: Not to dwell on the negative, but a lot of people really disliked “Swept Away” too.

Guy Ritchie: [He laughs.] They did. Look, it’s a movie that I like. It’s the movie I intended to make. From my point of view, it was a film that couldn’t transcend the external factors. Maybe it would have been wiser had I identified those to begin with. We did what we wanted to do, and we were both happy with what we did.

MTV: When you heard the reactions, did it feel like the critics were watching a different movie?

GR: Yes, it did. I still don’t get what the f— that was all about. I mean it was like the reaction when my wife decided to adopt a starving child. I couldn’t make any sense of it. The child was nearly dead. [His] siblings had died. And she stopped that. How do you get demonized for that?

MTV: Have you two talked about you directing her again?

GR: Life is too short, don’t you think?
