The Origins of Guy Ritchie in the 80s

Guy Ritchie's career starts with Long Good Friday and then goes through the hit and Mona Lisa. What do you think it was like for Guy Ritchie to be watching those movies in the 80s? Do you think he's like going through the research? Do you interview him? I feel like he's like the classic. He did not seem to be calling from movie history, but it must be in the bloodstream of a guy like that.
