Your blood, my love

Drive, just drive.
You are a human being,
and A real Hero.

I really like the English name of the movie. Many times the name of the movie itself is a kind of trailer, revealing to the unknown and wonderful. Using a single English word as a good movie name always gives me all kinds of surprises and surprises; compared to those full of dynamic movie names, the director's self-confidence needs to reach a certain level to dare to put a simple word on the poster easily. , Let everyone guess, love, and get out of our reality.

Going to watch such a movie in the rain after get off work on Friday is really going to the appointment with the mood of watching handsome men and beautiful cars. But when the silent picture is expressed in the inadvertent but perfectly designed composition of the American oil painting Nighthawk in the 1940s, it suddenly feels all kinds of freshness rushing to the face. Ryan Gosling is the most suitable actor because of his retro-looking face and the crescent-like smile. Carey Mulligan came out of "Growing Education", freed from the real love with the hero of "Transformers", and as a married young woman with a child in the film, she was in a mess. The warm light hits the painting-like facial features of the hero and heroine, lighting up everything in the dark. Let this platonic forbidden love flash with an unspeakable breath of holiness.

A married woman, a stuntman who lives alone in a foreign country, the woman’s lovely son, and the husband who has just been released from prison; the dining table for four, a cozy dinner, everyone’s eyes are filled with reasons for love . Many viewers or film critics think that the male lead is on such an untuned and unreliable journey of revenge for the love between him and the female lead. In my opinion, he is a wise man immersed in solitude, perceiving the world like a cub. The love between the heroine and him is indeed an introduction to action; but the beginning of revenge is because of the destruction and subversion of this kind of good life by the wicked. He was influenced because of love; his determination came from great love.

The picture of the movie is so exquisite that my poor language can no longer express it. I hope that everyone who has the opportunity can go to the theater to watch as much as possible, or taste on the largest possible screen. It can be guaranteed that every frame is as meticulous as an oil painting, which makes people feel like they are admiring the works of Edward Hopper. Last time, the commercial film that gave me such a surprise in the sense of the picture, like "Lucky Number Slevan" or "Kind Gold", also has the theme of revenge. From the pink letters at the opening, to the one and only scorpion jacket of the hero; the black Mustang sports car that shines like a horse, the motorcycle gloves that the hero wears every time; the blood sprayed without warning during the killing , The head of the splattered red-haired female thief was blown out by a gun. For those who like violent aesthetics, the effect of this film is higher than that of the A film, which makes the pores stretch and climax.

Of course, the most moving thing is still love. Two people who are close enough to hold hands, and those who develop their emotions through divine but not sexual intercourse, can sacrifice their entire lives for each other in this way. This kind of allegorical love is so convincing by the director that when you are in a certain moment of the movie, you even start to nauseate for the reality you are in. When the plot arranged for the killer and the two to face life and death in the same elevator, the powerful arm of the male protagonist pulled away the female protagonist, and it was not an immediate killing, but the first kiss of the passionate two. It is full of death and apocalyptic, but it is more appropriate than a passionate drama, the finishing touch.

It is worth mentioning that the original soundtrack of the movie, after watching the movie, almost makes people can’t wait to buy it and listen to it repeatedly on iTune. Cliff Martinez and the College band’s electronic retro-style music doesn’t really match the story itself. However, it is this inconsistency that produces a special chemical reaction that allows people to drift between the pictures of the 1950s and the electronic music of the 80s, and enjoy a 100-minute dream.

All people who have longing for emotions and sincerity in life should feel a surge of blood and strength at the end of the movie. Its existence is so peaceful that we even greet it with an irrational state. When the pink subtitles rise at the end, it is suitable to kiss your lover.

Finally, I posted the lyrics of the most beautiful song in the movie, A Real Hero, to relive this wonderful work full of love and passion:

A real human being, And a real hero
Back against the all and ours
With the strength of a willing to cause
A pursuit some called outstanding
Or emotionally complex
Against a grain
Left to stop at claims
Of all the thoughts your actions entertaining

And you, have proved, to be
A real human being, And a real hero.
