She is a woman with a sunny smile, her smile is shy and warm, sprinkling on him, it is a kind of comfort that can be close to and loved. She would use such a smile to soothe his silent and cold heart, and she would caress the lips he had kissed for a moment with tears before the final farewell call. Love does not need words, and the love of a driver is even more so. She can become the warmest and thirsty piece of tranquility in his life with only a smiling gaze.
However, this is a story that begins and ends in the dark night. The crimes under the dark night of Los Angeles are pervasive, driven by interests, and gradually envelope the warm and quiet corners. In order to defend, he used enough coldness and mystery to fight, but lost his tranquility again in anger. The sun caught in the night is only a brief warmth.
The difference between literal expression and film expression is that words are easier to write out of imagination, while the description of film language can be more vivid and vivid. A popular or even commonplace story, wanting to tell new ideas, is the biggest test of the creator's ability. For example, the identity of the driver is reminiscent of Neil Jordan’s "Mona Lisa", another driver story that sways in calm and brutality; while the driver has no name from beginning to end, the identity of an unsung hero is reminiscent of Clint • "The Pale Knight" by Eastwood. Therefore, due to the familiarity of stylistic elements, it has been difficult for readers or viewers to have a fresh feeling for a familiar story.
However, there are always artistic talents who are bold. The young Danish director Nicholas Winding Refern seems to have deliberately chosen such a simple and cliché story to express his new film language and unique visual beauty formed by the "End of the Road Trilogy" . He is a film editor (also the queen editor of Lars von Trier) who likes to express the inner heart of characters through visuals, and uses meticulous photography to narrate emotional changes, such as when the male and female protagonists communicate with each other in "Drive". A series of pros and cons and the change of warm and cold tones, the contrast presentation of slow motion and fast editing when violence comes, etc., gave the audience a fresh feeling for this commercial film from the visual style.
When the film develops to a certain stage, some films may be different in certain aspects, but it is difficult to break through the constraints of action films, historical dramas, romantic comedies and other genres. The novelty possibilities are more limited to conventional films. In convention or style. Just as the romantic music-video style in the first half of the film is easy to think of Wong Kar-wai, the sudden and shocking ferocity in the second half is easy to think of David Cronenberg or Park Chan-wook. However, innovative filmmakers have never stopped exploring, such as "Annie Hall", "Star Wars", "Pulp Fiction" and other classic examples, all have the power to break convention. Although Nicholas Winding Refn, who made his stunning appearance in Hollywood, does not have such an influence, with his bold attempts in "Drive", he also has a lot of innovation and enlightenment on genre films.
