I’ve seen the movie before but I was way too young for it so it went over my head. In terms of Tony Scott and compared to The Hunger.... well it’s kinda hard to compare the two movies but one thing I’ll say is I really enjoyed the openings for both movies. I feel mr. Scott does an excellent job setting the tone of the movies in the first 5-10 min. In the case of Top Gun seeing all the fighter jets taking off in the glow of the sun really sucked me in and I was invested right away. I also really liked how much time was spent with Maverick dealing with his grief. How crazy is it that the military tribunal was like nope nothing he could of done so the best thing for maverick is to get back to TopGun immediately to continue training? Where I feel that’s probably the last place he should of been as he was still extremely traumatized. For me though the best part of this movie was the dog fighting man that was intense. Every time there was a scene in the air my heart was in my throat I was hooked. I love the fact he used real footage it just made this movie more real and enjoyable. I feel like I could watch a documentary on the making of the fighting scenes and the actual pilots who flew the Jets. As much as I like the openings of his movies so far I feel he does an excellent job ending them as well.That video is 100% Scott.
On a side note I enjoyed that Car commercial and music video thanks for sharing. Does anybody know if tony directed the scenes with Kenny or just the clips from the movie?
All in all i think it’s kinda hard to rate these two movies as they are completely different in every way but for the sake of the untitled Tony Scott project i would say Top Gun 1 the Hunger 2
There's a big difference between winging it and seeing what happens. Now let's go see what happens.
