Most introverts understands the driver.
Not crazy about the imaginary kiss theory, mostly because you nail the look they share. They realize they will never be together, but Driver figured this out a littler earlier when he saw the gun and knew he'd have to reveal himself to protect her. That kiss was a goodbye.
I think the kiss on the elevator was him saying goodbye to her...
I felt like Driver was the frog, carrying criminals, or driving them, always getting dragged back to crime. Crime being the scorpian, and that's why he has the scorpian on the back of his jacket.
HOLY SHIT I JUST REALIZED HE DOESNT HAVE A NAME
Great analysis. However, I always felt that the elevator kiss was real, but the effects (the dimming of the light and all that) represented that it was a a moment out of time. A single moment that would be etched in his heart forever because he knew what he had to do and that after that moment would be the one where he had to say goodbye.
I loved the scene after he stabbed Bernie and sat in the car and we are wondering if he’s dead or alive. They set up with Benicio that the driver is good at staring so you think he’s alive for a bit but the scene keeps going and then you think he’s dead. And then when you are convinced he’s dead he blinks. Such a great moment. So well set up and such great payoff
I just realized how similar Ryan Gosling's character in Blade Runner 2049 is to his character here in Drive. Both start as emotionless beings just doing their job but end up becoming real people and real heroes through their choices that they encounter as the story progresses.
This is an underrated movie. They made the right choice having the opening song be Nightcall by Kavinsky
You sir are a real human bean, and a real hero
I've never seen such loneliness as the one Ryan Gosling transmits in this film.
Gotta disagree.
In the beginning of the film, Benicio wears a mask and Driver says "Scary"
Driver risked his life to save Standard, knowing he would never get to be with Irene and Benicio as a family, which was his deepest yearning. It vindicated him in a way, whereas the whole world would look at him like a shark, a criminal, but inside was a love so pure and selfless most people never experience it.
I just want to point out the clear theme of loneliness here. This guy has no name, no family, no friends, one bedroom apartment and no backstory. This film is the story of a man with nothing in his life and is quite possibly in a state of extreme sadness. He had nothing to live for but then found it and was willing to do everything to protect it, even if that meant leaving it. This is a message to the viewer that no matter how lonely you are today, you will eventually find meaning
Someone on IMDb said that the Driver, played by brilliantly by the memorable Ryan Gosling, is the frog; like how the frog is eventually drowned because of the scorpion's nature, Driver is eventually "drowned" because of the criminals he helps. Note how the scorpion he wears, which is emphasized repeatedly throughout the film, does not represent what he is, but rather what he carries on his back. We can then deduce that Driver's true nature is, in fact, good (for lack of a better word), but dragged down by his surroundings.
The atmosphere in this film was a chef's kiss in terms of film making.
Prob my favorite film of all time!!
Such an underrated movie. Loved it!
