With a good script, a good director can produce a masterpiece. With the same script, a mediocre director can produce a passable film. But with a bad script even a good director can’t possibly make a good film. - Akira Kurosawa

I think he’s right. Ridley has a great visual style. But when you consider all the movies he has made, most of them have been turkeys because he doesn’t understand writing and believable characters. His background is in advertising, making pretty pictures. Give him a great script like Gladiator, Bladerunner, and Alien, he makes superb, genre defining films that become milestones in history.

Honestly, Ridley Scott made ONE great movie "Blade Runner" (probably by chance) and has a luck to competently direct greatly scripted "Alien" . He's always been overrated and he probably knows that. He doesn't even value his own work. He is literally dying and killing (careers) to win an Oscar, but he doesn't deserve it. And now it's over for him anyway...

@@jothishprabu8 good scripts are hard to come by, I bet. It's not as if he's known for his writing; he's gotta take what's available. People often make such a criticism in reference to his Alien prequel movies, but I don't think they understand that it was Ridley's concept. It wasn't a passion project of some screenwriter, like the first was. I admit, it all starts with the writing, but what do you do when you have a story concept and you're not a writer? You gotta hand it off to someone else and hope for the best. So, in that sense, I appreciate the prequels for what they are. You can't tell me the concept of an android floating somewhere in our universe in a spaceship carrying colonists and the eggs of a maniac organism he created from a stolen bioweapon of an advanced alien race, while listening to Wagner, isn't badass sci-fi. The fact that we actually got a story on film that got us to that point is miraculous. This is purely because Ridley's got clout!

Blade Runner though it didn't do well upon it's release in 1982 has gathered a huge following through VHS rentals which is where I discovered in the early 90's at my local video store. When I first watched Blade Runner it blew me away and it still does. A visually stunning sci-fi with an amazing score by Vangelis that is mesmerizing.

I went to Ridley's college, Cleveland College of Art & Design, or as it is now known, Northern School of Art, and my tutor Chris was unbeatable. I later went to their Higher Education course in Hartlepool and was utterly disappointed with the course and my tutor Francis on the graphic design course - talk about favoritism and lack of experience in the real world! Apparently, he was replaced, so hopefully, the course got better! For any young artists out there, go to college, avoid university and go straight into an apprenticeship or directly into work if possible because the best way to learn is to do!

A bit of trivia for film buffs - See if you can spot the cameraman wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans in the scene from Gladiator. He's on the far left hand side of the screen, amongst the crowd, and has a camera atop a tripod next to him. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2jLdol-eM2lp9E (the scene starts here, pause the film). It made it into the release. I didn't spot it when I first watched the film, nor any subsequent viewing, I had to be informed that it existed. Great film, entertaining.
