A bloody romance that is gentle and watery

Ryan Gosling interprets the seemingly calm, restrained and reticent male protagonist, who exudes a feminine temperament, but can burst out in moments of crisis or anger. The performance is very tense. The director described the emotional development process of the hero and heroine with tenderness, but in a few violent scenes, he can instantly release tension and shock, putting the whole movie at the perfect intersection between rigidity and softness. The director insisted on telling such a cliche Hollywood action gang story so wonderfully full of charm, photography scheduling and even lighting use, every detail strives to be perfect, many abrupt bloody and violent scenes are reminiscent of the seventies and eighties of the last century. Crime films of the 19's. If you change to a Hollywood director to shoot this story, it is estimated that you will find some handsome men and beautiful cars, and eventually drown in a lot of vulgar drag racing action movies.

    Like "Hannah", the video style is simple, restrained, and cold. It inherits the style of the previous generation of American independent films, but at the same time incorporates a variety of relatively mainstream traditional genres such as HEIST, action, and conspiracy. Film elements have their own set of screen construction, narrative style and rhythm, which can easily hold people firmly. The group dramas of all drama bones are extraordinarily exciting, and the rest is a nostalgic new wave synthesizer sound.

Drive quotes

  • [first lines]

    Driver: [on phone] There's a hundred-thousand streets in this city. You don't need to know the route. You give me a time and a place, I give you a five minute window. Anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours. No matter what. Anything happens a minute either side of that and you're on your own. Do you understand?

    [pause]

    Driver: Good. And you won't be able to reach me on this phone again.

  • Shannon: [to Driver] A lot of guys mess around with married women, but you're the only one I know who robs a joint just to pay back the husband. Crazy.
