Children born in the 1980s, the pure love of "Sunset Car God" should make you miss the 90s Movies, the kind of romance that wanders around the world has been stiffly colored by dazzling special effects and comic heroes. In the 21st century, what other movie can be quietly out of control?
In the movie "Sunset Car God", the unknown driver with stunts, taciturn, pushed forward by feelings and plots, but with the innocence of the iron man, he should take a shot for the justice and love in his heart. Never hesitate. Ryan Gosling's lines and costumes are pitifully scarce throughout the movie, but because of this, when his deep face and scorpion jacket are stained with blood, emotions can burn faster and more ruthlessly.
High-contrast light and window shadows, blonde beauty, and tough guys in the shadows are all common elements in film noir. However, the 80's pink card and the sweet and refreshing electronic sound of College pulled the whole movie into a romantic and immortal. Ryan Goslin's fiery and firm 45-degree side face coupled with a very retro long fusion, several scenes are so exciting. I think the sense of using old methods is excellent. In addition, interspersed with soft yellow light and fresh colors from time to time have also successfully portrayed the delicate side of the tough guy: he is not a fierce bully, nor a blind person who sees money open. He is performing, repairing cars, and driving crimes. Between several jobs, under the rough external image, the heart does indeed have such softness and beauty, which is only part of the mother and child of Iren and Benecio.
Shannon, the owner of the car factory, laughed at him. He had only heard of marrying a wife, but had never heard of helping a husband pay off his debts. As usual, the driver didn't reply back. He resolutely helped Standard who had just been released from prison. In fact, his purpose was very simple, just to maintain the safety of Iren's mother and child. Before going to the meeting with Bernie, the last big demon, he called as farewell: "The days with you and Benecio are the best time in my life." There is no passion for lingering, only pure emotions and the one in the elevator. A complex and deep kiss, this is the innocence of the rider's Tiehan, and it also deepens this character who has almost no lines and is like the ghost of the dark night in the city.
He is very clear about the operation of the dark world, knowing which ones he can fish and which ones he can't touch. He can make money by assisting in driving and committing crimes with a wonderful opening, but the ticket for the pawnshop, after Standard was shot and killed, he knew it was black and black, and just wanted to get out early. The next period of contact, phone calls, appointments, and mutual inquiries were pretty good, until Bernie died in the parking lot, and the driver left the body and the package of money. Its sharpness and simplicity really make people admire why the director Nicola Vinting Nicolas Winding Refn will have the reputation of Quentin Tarantino in Northern Europe. However, the action plot of the film, as well as the screen scheduling, pay attention to the atmosphere and emotion, which is more romantic and richer to me than Quentin.
For example, the scene in the elevator where the rider suddenly turned his head and kissed Iren deeply. What a slow motion of blood spilling! This kiss bursts with the tenderness of the riders who flow through the whole film, and it seems to kick off the next hand-to-hand fight. For the whole quiet and cold tone of the film, this slow-motion deep kiss scene can be said to be stable. Step on the main plot and add the finishing touch. The scene where the rider puts on his headgear and walks to the entrance of the Nino restaurant is even more rare. Domestic and foreign critics have said that this character is better than the character in "Taxi Driver" (1976), which wants to connect with others, but some friends said it better. This is really like a Hong Kong film "Famous Flower" Tony Leung shaved his head. The madness and determination when doing a big fight.
If Quentin were to do it, he should be busy making the characters tell cold jokes or quotations from the scriptures. After a verbal battle, the guns suddenly went off, and one of them died inexplicably. After all, he loves movies too much and doesn't have so many free lovers, but Nicholas Wenting Hefen's humor, taste, and temperature are just right. The two scenes mentioned above have the momentum of letting go, as well as the self-confidence that is intentional, which can be called a beautiful burden.
In addition, the use of fluent flashbacks and interludes appears to make the narrative of the whole movie clean and refreshing while maintaining a charming charm. It does not disrupt the timing of the overall plot and the basic understanding of the audience, but also creates new perspectives from time to time to create a bright spot for the whole film. The music is good, the atmosphere attracts people’s hearts, the male protagonist is terribly handsome (so I want to run to see the mature male type), the heroine is cute and sweet, no matter from which point of view it is a wonderful and superior work, I can’t Imagine how someone would complain about being bored after reading it.
