"Desperate Drive": There is a love, no dialogue

In "Desperate Drive", I can hardly imagine that the director can perfectly describe beauty and blood (no one thinks blood is also beautiful), warmth and ruthlessness in the same film. I am not a man, I have an instinctive repulsion and fear of black blood, but I love this film so much, because although I have seen blood and ruthlessness, those beautiful pictures, pure smiles, and pure feelings without words I can't forget.
The actor Ryan Gosling (Ryan Gosling), in fact, did not have a deep impression of him before, and only watched the "Blue Valentine" (Blue Valentine) starring him. Here, Ryan Gosling plays a ruthless driver who loves a married woman. He is a two-faced person. For those he loves, he sacrifices all protection without reservation. And for those who hurt his lover, he mercilessly killed them. For Erin's safety, he brutally and bloodily killed his opponent in the elevator, and let his loved ones see another side of him, so that he couldn't accept it and left him.
The heroine, Carey Mulligan, is so infectious and approachable, her sweet smile feels like it can really soften any hardened heart. Whether it's "Education" or "Never Let Me Go" (in which she outshines even Keira Knightley), Carey Mulligan has It has won me, and I believe it is the heart of countless men. She is a temperamental beauty, absolutely.
"He'll be back in a week," Erin said.
"I'm going somewhere and maybe never come back. I want to say a few words to you, it won't take up too much of your time, I just want to tell you that the time with you and Benicio is my happiest time time," the driver said.
Throughout the film, the male and female protagonists have very little dialogue and no intimate actions, but in their extremely simple dialogue, in their emotional extension and tacit smiles, we see two hearts tied together . From the time the hero and heroine met to the heart-to-heart, the picture is so warm, beautiful, and touching. They didn't hold hands, embrace each other, and have no physical intercourse. I believe that the scene that moved countless people's hearts was their kiss in the elevator. In the elusive light and dark, their only kiss was the kiss of life and death.
What impresses me is that when Erin's husband came back from prison, at the party, he raised a glass to Erin and said, "Thank you for waiting for me." Erin's expression was calm. But at this time, perhaps her heart already belongs to another person, and this person is in the next room, alone in Los Angeles, extremely lonely in the noise. At this time, she and he must be thinking about each other, and they are lost and sad.
There is always a picture that reminds you of the beauty of love, how sweet and happy it feels to love someone and to be loved by someone, even though it's just one hand gently resting on the back of the other, despite the A third person watching, and a brief kiss in times of crisis. But all love will be in the past tense. How beautiful it is only when it goes on. And it may be more beautiful when there is no result.

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.
