I think Joes characters aligns more with real heroism than the Driver. What the Driver did was noble, but he was also a get away driver and who knows who he was driving and what they stole.
Lol these films have little to do with heroism, compared to what they have to do with isolation, existential loneliness and internal pain>the expression of that inner pain into physical violence (whether they’re justified or not is really not interesting or the focus of the films). They’re both anti-hero’s. Heroism is one dimensional by comparison.
Joe really holds back, at times. The shooting scene I thought was going to be a blood bath. However, what he does to one of the hit men was something I couldn't understand at the time. However, he shows so much humility and is beyond showing compassion.
thank-you for posting!! Love you!!! the tone shift from job well done to getaway and johnny greenwood music the way joe handles the mugger really really liked this movie
It's implied that he was somehow followed and found by the people he had just saved the girl from (the one whose picture he's burning at the very beginning)
In the book, it's explained more explicitly that the police car at 0:15 is looking for him (hence he backs away to use the back exit), but he realises after being attacked that the police car was a decoy to get him to go out the back so they could jump him.
@@faulsname8869 its basically explaining Joe's train of thought to the world around him and his suicidal tendencies the title is lifted from one of the lines in the book, which is like inner monologue, i think it happens when joe is using that bag over his head: *"It’s all right, you can go, you were never really here.”*
This is an incredibly underrated film. Greenwood’s score for this is probably my favorite out of any movie beeg beeg fan
Yes, so visceral and disturbing.
Drive (2011)
You Were Never Really Here (2017)
Two real superhero films

Don’t forget about the masterpiece known as the taxi driver

So punk rock he bleeds ON EVERYTHING.
He realizes that the man he shot just works for these degenerates and hates them just as much as he does (well not as much but close)
Yes. I showed this film to a friend and she was touched at how that scene ended. We’re all human, and we share similar fears in this life.
one of the better movie of 2018, thank you for posting
One of the best movies ive ever seen
Loved it
I wish this version was included in the soundtrack.
Listen to the end credit version.
Wake me with your warm arms. Let me hear your voice… you were never really here.
This movie broke me
A M A Z I N G
thank-you for posting!! Love you!!!
the tone shift from job well done to getaway
and johnny greenwood music
the way joe handles the mugger
really really liked this movie
For someone from the area that’s an expensive cab ride. The airport isn’t actually in the city but across the river into Kentucky for a little bit.
this movie takes place in NYC wtf are you talking about
The opening scene is very surreal. Also, can someone tell me why he is invisible in certain scenes?
I read somewhere it was a device to PUT the viewer in the Joe's head. Works i think.
collateral + kidnapping = this movie.
I was always confused at this? Was this just a random mugger? Was the phone call about him? Why does Joe turn around after the encounter?
It's implied that he was somehow followed and found by the people he had just saved the girl from (the one whose picture he's burning at the very beginning)
It’s a random mugger. The scene is to show Joe’s toughness
@@dx315 no, because if he were involved he wouldn’t have been so useless when attacking. Also, Joe surely would’ve killed him.
In the book, it's explained more explicitly that the police car at 0:15 is looking for him (hence he backs away to use the back exit), but he realises after being attacked that the police car was a decoy to get him to go out the back so they could jump him.
@@thatguyfromthatthing8573 thank you for the explanation. Makes perfect sense now.
Head butt! Way to use your head, smart thinking
When you realise the title of the movie is an "Idea of reference."
How so

It's what he tells the children he rescued you idiot
I liked the film. But this intro hyped me into a movie that never came.
Like lawless?
Lawless was dope
I think that may be the point. In a lot of ways, the film is a takedown of the entire genre.
Slogods Slogods yeah but there was almost no action is what i mean
gamalier andres I interpreted the main theme as being about the emotions surrounding the violence/brutality rather than the violence itself.
