messy life

In the first ten minutes, the protagonist only did one thing seriously—drive. He said, just tell me the time and place, and I'll keep you all in five minutes, and we won't see each other in five minutes. And so, we see a taciturn but highly skilled driver with two robbers galloping through the intricate streets of Los Angeles, shunting the police and pursuing them again and again. Then, in the crowded parking lot, I put on sports clothes and baseball caps indifferently, and the movements were done in one go. Coupled with the grace of lights, we thought this was a story about a poor and handsome driver who became an inspirational driver.
In the next 20 minutes, the protagonist basically only did one thing - love. Falling in love with a wife whose husband is not at home is indeed the fate of a poor boy. The clearest picture in the whole film is also dedicated to this section. The soft sunshine, the flickering breeze, the simple and homely dialogue, the British beauty Carey Mulligan, although the shape and Michelle can't be clearly distinguished, and the commander who smiles all over the city, the director has no clue. I did not hesitate to put the two OSTs here, the beauty of the car and the music. We almost thought this was another old-fashioned romantic film.
After that, the plot took a sharp turn, and the gang bosses suddenly joined in. The protagonist became an important bargaining chip in a deal, and the wife's husband who was trapped in prison finally appeared. Just when I was confused about which direction the plot was going to continue to develop, I suddenly thought of a paragraph specially marked by the subtitle team before the start of the main film: The content of the film contains violence and a small amount of nudity, and viewers under the age of 18 must be parents or adults. Accompany the viewing. So I soon saw the first bloody scene in the film, which was the current husband who was beaten up. The man asked: Are you going to stand up for me? The next story becomes much simpler. Since ancient times, the hero has been saddened by the beauty pass. To borrow the words of the lame old man Shanon: I have seen many people who love to fuck with their wives. Seen for the first time.
You all know the plot, so what am I doing for fun? So the director then focused on his cult experiments. The head of the man was shot, the head of the woman was shot, and then the head of the man was shot again. The director loves to toss with that head. When I saw that the protagonist, who was originally a little dull and a little shy, suddenly turned into a dark character with superb martial arts, agile movements, and murder without blinking in the face of danger, the words from the big smoking gun suddenly appeared in his mind: "Your past, join us." What to do next, I don't know which is more dangerous.
When I watched it, the feeling was: in terms of the plot alone, the first half of the content was too much and too complicated, the key points were not prominent, but the unimportant took up a lot of space; the theme of the second half was clear, but unfortunately the content was too simple and superficial. . The director's ambition may not be here. Take a look at the beautiful footage inside, the violent scenes with blood splashes and the deliberately enlarged exposure scenes, which are all aspects that are appreciated by many people.
Of course, for an unprincipled idiot like me, nothing matters, as long as there is a commander. Even if you're just playing tricks.

    The dizzy child said that some scenes are really going to be dizzy. At the beginning of the LA shoot, it was not a Lakers game. o( ̄ヘ ̄o#) The two suits of the high commander were still soft and smoky, but I prefer the decadent appearance in Blue Valentine’s Day, although That film is really... it's raining, and the ending song is beautiful.

    The film was supported entirely by the skill of the director. The processing of many pictures and scenes is great.

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.
