Drive

[onthewall2983]

Blu-Ray is coming January 31st. Best score of the year...so far.

[AvelineCyborg]

I really liked this movie, definitely buying it when it comes out. There's a great parody trailer on Funny or Die.

[aggroculture]

IMHO best film of the year. Reminded me a little of No Country for Old Men in terms of tension, and surreal, OTT violence.

[Sallos]

I really liked this movie. Even the soundtrack, and im not a huge fan of that style.
I found the violence very "peckinpahish".
Movie bound to turn into a cult picture or classic in some years, has all the ingridients, cars, good music, style, hot girls, violence, and a simple passionate storyline.

What a waste that death of Christina Hendricks...some tits she has.

[Goldfoot]

Early this year I saw a scene from this movie where Ryan Gosling was the getaway driver for some thieves. Nothing special except that it is Ryan Gosling and the way he drove to get away was intriguing to me. Naturally, I was looking forward to this film being released so I could see the whole thing. I went in not knowing what to expect, and once I got it I was unsure of how I felt. After having time to think about it, I decided it was great, but how the film unfolded was somewhat surprising. After learning who made the movie, and what he had done before, it made sense. It seems like I was impressed by the camera work, but I was definitely impressed by the music, as it was fucking perfect. Cliff Martinez definitely has a new fan. It currently holds the second spot on my top ten list for the year.

[thevoid99]

The soundtrack is definitely among my favorite albums of the year while the film is in my top 5 of the year. Ryan Gosling and Albert Brooks are my respective picks for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor.

[Highly Psychological]

I liked it, really liked it, but judging from the way people were talking about it before hand i was expecting a masterpiece like Leon -The Professional. Expected to feel how i felt when i saw that for the first time. with the mind bending camera angles and all that. stuff that had never been done before.
I didnt understand the plot for this. But i still liked it, style over substance. which works in this case.
I loved the soundtrack for this. The fuzzy guitar and synthesizer shit. I love Ryan and Carey dearly. But if this had a bit more money invested into it it could have been as good as Leon.

I made almost everyone I know go out and buy the blu-ray today. You're welcome, Refn.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

What is that VHS box from?

I loved everything about this movie. To Ryan Goslings quiet and mysterious approach, to the random stomp your face in scenes that were so unexpected. The way it was shot and the score alone makes it even more enjoyable.

[richardp]

Pretty sure it's just fan-made.

[Dinki Di]

Never knew the workprint had music from The Social Network as temp tracks. Is anyone getting this licensed Mondo poster tomorrow? I got it at a screening last night and it is even better in person.

http://www.mondoarchive.com/poster_images/drivearchive_thumb.JPG

[konstantin]

getting that poster when it went on sale was harder than getting NIN tickets in 2005. sigh... i'll be waiting for eBay to calm down.

[Pillfred]

I want to see this movie really badly... Maybe tonight I'll force myself to go home after work and watch it.

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

I would've loved to have one, too...But alas, it sold out before I even knew it was available. I saw that a replica of the Driver's jacket is up for sale. Not sure if I'd ever pay a whopping $140 bucks for it, though.

[butters]

Seeing this in the theater in Nov gave me goosebumps - the opening credits, the LA river scene w/ "A Real Hero," the scene w/ "Under Your Spell"..... fuck the music was so perfect. Lyrics, style, vibe... it's crazy they weren't written for the movie. I didn't think I'd recapture that feeling upon a second viewing, but it did again last night.

Absolutely my favorite of 2011. The silence of Gosling and Mulligan's scenes said so much more than pointless gushing over each other, so much more effective the way it was done. These retro VHS boxes and posters, fan made or official promos, are just badass. Destined to be a cult classic film.

[Tums206_BFY]

Very good filmed saw it for the first time tonight. I agree the music for the film was perfect and the movie itself I thought was pretty brilliant. Def not what I expected from seeing the previews when it first was released glad I watch it. Def recommended to anyone who is thinking about watching it or is on the fence about watching it.

[ibanez33]

Just finished watching it, all I knew going in was that Ryan Gosling was a getaway driver, and it was violent. Expectations = blown.

[konstantin]

took me more than an hour to set up the UltraViolet/Flixster integration, but finally got it working and downloaded the movie on my mobile devices. Drive anytime!

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

Isn't that all a pain in the ass? It's not too bad once you get all the registration crap taken care of, though.

Has anyone else discovered that it's impossible to drive to the soundtrack without feeling like a complete badass?

[bobbie solo]

Isn't that all a pain in the ass?


exactly. and this is partly why piracy will continue to destroy the movie/TV industry. People will d/l stuff off torrent no matter what, but there are plenty of people that want a quick, easy, non-frustrating way to watch movies w/o physical media, but can't. too many hoops to jump through. same with the menu/advertisement screens when you buy a blu-ray. I PAID FOR THE MOVIE, LET ME JUST SEE THE MOVIE. it shouldnt be easier/quicker to watch a movie illegally than it is to do the right thing and buy it.

[aggroculture]

Kind of glad the Oscars nitwits missed this. Clearly too awesome for their timid tastes and machinations.

[nineinchtool]

Really dug this one. Loved the opening scene and the last hour but hated the 40 minutes in between. Probably would have bailed after 30 minutes if the opening scene wasn't so good, glad I stuck around for the rest of it. Just didnt like how it hit the brakes 10 minutes in and cruised for 30 minutes with driver and the girl, thought it got kinda cheesy and eye-rolling.

Good lord is it awesomely violent. Great use of a towel rack.

Great acting from Brooks and Cranston.

[Lutz]

It completely amazes me that people will take Drive as a movie about insight into stoic-primal-man but then completely write off a Vincent Gallo movie.

I'm in the same boat as you, seeing as I thought half the movie was damn good, and the other was fairly cheesy, but I thought the last hour was where it got weak. Basically after the first gunshots were fired, it went downhill for me.
I loved the beginning with the suspense from the opening sequence and the mystery behind this driver who never speaks too much. When the movie was full of question marks is when I found it the most entertaining, because I wasn't sure the direction it was going to go, storywise. Once the gunshots I mentioned earlier went off, the film became way too obvious and predictble. Now, predictable doesn't nessisarily make a bad movie, but the way I see it, the primary source of entertainment I got from the first hour was, like I said, the uncertainty.
Also, the chemistry between the driver and the chick seemed to be thrown out the window as well once all the action came into play. Giving Gosling's character very little to say really helped with the tension between the two, but once the focus became not the relationship between the driver and her, and more on how over-the-top the violence could be (which was still pretty sweet), we lost that tension.
I guess, overall, I was just surprised at the dramatically different direction the style of the movie took, to the point of completely changing genres at the half way mark. Once the style shift took effect, the story became one I'd seen too many times. I hadn't read anything about the movie before seeing it, which was last night (since Germany gets all the sweet shit like 3 months late), and I went in not knowing what to expect. When the film introduced itself as this calm, cool, colorful 'noir,' I was pretty stoked, and when it switched half way through to a loud, Rambo-like gangster film I was pretty turned off.


And by the way, this is the first time I'd seen Christina Hendricks in anything... what's all the big fucking hype about? Talk about average looking. Without the invention of the pushup bra to prop those things up under her chin, she'd have no career.

[dlb]

is anyone familiar with the book? I loved the movie, but would like to know how well it stands up to the source material. is there something missing, is it a loose adaption etc. ?

[konstantin]

not to sound like an expert, but if you've seen the rest of Refn's work you'd know that nothing about the pacing in Drive has not be thought through. if there's a part you didn't feel good about than chances are you missed a point. seriously, i know this is fanboish, but i can't remember the last time i felt so strongly about a movie. there's nothing i would like to be any different. just saw it last night for the 3rd time and it felt like it just keeps getting better.

[Morad]

If anybody hasn't seen this meme yet, it's pretty hilarious. Albert Brooks posted it himself a couple of days ago on his Twitter account.

Hitler Learns Albert Brooks Wasn't Nominated for an Oscar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS-UpSkO0z8).

[Pillfred]

Finally watched this the other night. I thought it was pretty good. I could see how some may say that it was too slow but i think it worked to help build the character of the driver up more since he doesn't say much. Overall I thought it was really good. Slower movies don't scare me I appreciate a chance to actually have to watch a movie instead of just being blown away. Though it was violent i didn't think it was anything too over the top. It's definitely one I will watch again.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

I don't think I have watched a new movie as many times over as Drive. I just love everything about it. The atmospheric elements and the way the score moves with the movie is just amazing.

[frankie teardrop]

while drive was a little too similar to the basic plot of taxi driver (and hey! albert brooks!), i still enjoyed it thoroughly. highly stylized and greatly so.

[DVYDRNS]

This Movie... Was Terrible...

[NIN64]

This Movie... Was Terrible...

That's like. . . Your opinion man. . .

[coolguy]

This Movie... Was Terrible...

It wasn't terrible, man. I do, however, think it's not nearly as good as people want to make it out to be, but that is usually the case with cult status anything.

[aggroculture]

What didn't you like about it?
Someone told me she didn't like the way Irene was portrayed as passive.

What were you expecting? Fast And The Furious?

[Hula]

while drive was a little too similar to the basic plot of taxi driver (and hey! albert brooks!), i still enjoyed it thoroughly. highly stylized and greatly so.

Really? Taxi Driver, to me, felt like one man slowly becoming more and more incapable of reconciling with the depravity of the world; Drive is in essence about a 'good' guy (for the most part) getting wrapped up in some bad mojo.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

^^^ And kicking major ass in the process. I do however really wish there were more getaway scenes like the opening one. Fuck that was thrilling.

[carpenoctem]

Yep, it had surprisingly little driving for a movie called, erm, Driver. But it eschewed big Hollywood chase scenes for atmosphere and style, which was a very good idea.

I've been listening to the soundtrack a lot lately and I love it. But I'd prefer to hear it with the movie because it just fits so well.

[richardp]

I think it fits that it was called Drive. Because that's what Gosling did in it. "What do you do?" "I drive". It has a subtle more deeper meaning than simply being Drive because there are car chases in it.

[aggroculture]

Drive is also a noun, and I think the movie played nicely on that: death drive, sex drive, etc. The character is primed to just go, in all directions.

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

What were you expecting? Fast And The Furious?

Was it here that I read about some lady who was taking legal action because she saw the trailer, and was upset because she thought it would be more like Fast and The Furious?

This Movie... Was Terrible...
Have you ever considered starting a blog or sending something in to Ebert? Such a way with words.

[frankie teardrop]

Really? Taxi Driver, to me, felt like one man slowly becoming more and more incapable of reconciling with the depravity of the world; Drive is in essence about a 'good' guy (for the most part) getting wrapped up in some bad mojo.

both movies still had the premise of ultraviolence in the name of protecting a girl. that's oversimplifying both films, but there's that major common element.

again, you also have albert brooks appearing in both films. it's not much of a stretch to assume that the folks who brought you drive were heavily inspired by taxi driver.

"In her suit, which was filed at the sixth judicial circuit court in Oakland, Michigan, Deming says the Nicolas Winding Refn film "bore very little similarity to a chase, or race action film ... having very little driving in the motion picture". The plaintiff goes on to attack Drive (http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/movie/142036/drive) for what she perceives as antisemitic leanings. The film "substantially contained extreme, gratuitous, dehumanising racism directed at members of the Jewish faith, and thereby promoted criminal violence against members of the Jewish faith", her suit reads."
Yeah, the minute the movie ended, I punched a rabbi right in the mouth. I hope she gets laughed out of court and hit with a big fine for "wasting court time and being stupid".

Remember Lionel Hutz's lawsuit against the film The Neverending Story?

[Lutz]

I remember three hours into CELINE AND JULIE GO BOATING sitting in the theatre thinking to myself that I hadn't been a single boat in the movie.

They go boating at the very end of the movie.

[Lutz]

I went to see AU HASARD BALTHAZAR for a charming film about a donkey but got the old bait and switch with a film about rape. RAPE.

And David Lynch ruined my childhood with his sordid sequel to NATIONAL VELVET.

[theruiner]

Yeah! And Vacation didn't even have a vacation in...oh, wait a second.



So, yeah. Finally got around to seeing this. I thought it was good. Not as great as everyone's making it out to be, but I enjoyed it. The acting was fantastic, the score was great and the direction and cinematography were phenomenal. I think it was perfectly put together. All the elements just kind of gelled in exactly the right way, and created this really wonderful atmosphere.

Bryan Cranston continues to prove that he's a freaking brilliant actor. And Albert Brooks was really good in it, too. I loved the subtleness of Gosling's performance.

Anyway, yeah. Good stuff. I would definitely be up for watching it again, and I think it might even grow on me upon second viewing.

[Goldfoot]

I'm confused.

I thought it was good. Not as great as everyone's making it out to be, but I enjoyed it.
This makes sense as not everyone gets the same out of everything, but it's cool you liked it, but then you follow up by describing every aspect of the film using words that are at least on the same level as "great", if not higher in appreciation. Fantastic, great, phenomenal, perfectly put together, and wonderful would lead me to believe that you do think it's as great as everyone is making it out to be.

I'm not really criticizing or anything, I just think you are trying to downplay how much you actually like it at first, but then betray yourself by describing it in such a hugely positive way.

[theruiner]

Honestly, I think it's actually the opposite. I wonder if I'm really trying to convince myself that I liked it more than I actually did. I think I kind of appreciated it more than enjoyed it, if that makes sense. I really like great filmmaking, and I liked the sort of technical aspects of it. But as far as being entertained (as opposed to just sort of admiring the way it was put together) I would say it was just alright. The story really didn't do much for me. It kept my interest, but that was about it.

Then again, it's really hard for me to get into movies now for some reason, so I can never be sure if it's just me. But that's my honest take on it.

[Daegor]

reading the thread it seems no one noticed this (including myself):


Two modified songs from The Social Network (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Social_Network) soundtrack, written and produced by Trent Reznor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trent_Reznor) and Atticus Ross (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atticus_Ross) are used in the movie. They are not credited in the movie and not included on the released soundtrack. One is a piano-less version of "Hand Covers Bruise". The other is "3:14 Every Night".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_(2011_film)#Music_and_soundtrack

[butters]

^^^ the workprint that was leaked online used temp music, including parts of the TSN score. I didn't watch the leak, but I thought I read it was "Intriguing Possibilities," not "3:14." Either way, it was temp and not in the final film.

EDIT: Incidentally, temporary tracks by Brian Eno were also used in the workprint and the opening credits had a namecard placeholder reading "Music By Angelo Badalamenti" instead of Martinez.

It looks like that TR/AR info was just added to wikipedia Feb 25. It should probably either be clarified or removed. (times of the revisions were 16:19 and 16:24 if anyone has an account or cares to do so.)

[onthewall2983]

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

The sequel 'Driven' is now officially in development. (http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=25047&count=0)

Normally, I'd feel kinda skeptical. But seeing as this seems like it'll be handled by the same people who adapted Drive, I'm pretty excited. Drive is one of my all-time favorite movies, but it didn't seem to really need a sequel. I haven't read the book yet, but I understand that it's different from the movie in a way, and the author must have wanted to continue the story if he wrote another book. I'm sure I'll be even more pumped for it once I finish reading both.

[aggroculture]

I don't want a sequel. The film describes a complete narrative arc, which does not necessitate further explications.
Sounds like the author is cashing in on the movie.
What next: No Country For Old Men II: The Further Adventures of Anton Chigurh?

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

Well, the main reason I'm trying to be open about a sequel movie is because what I gathered from watching the bonus stuffs on the blu-ray, they basically took just a part of the Driver's story in the book and ran with it for the movie. So, technically, I guess the movie is pretty different from the movie as is, so they might either have a good idea to continue his story OR they're just cashing in. Maybe the book leads to a sequel that makes sense. Like I said, I haven't read it yet, so I don't know.

You're right, though. There wasn't anything left open that really NEEDED to be handled at the end of Drive. I guess I'm just one of those people that'll give something a chance until it starts to reeeally look disappointing (I'm looking at you, Metal Gear Risevengancing).

[thevoid99]

If Nicolas Winding Refn nor Ryan Gosling aren't involved, I ain't seeing it.

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

If Nicolas Winding Refn nor Ryan Gosling aren't involved, I ain't seeing it.

100% agreed. The only reason I'm holding out for more info is because I really only want to give it a chance if they're both still on board. It won't be nearly the same without one or the other.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

The sequel 'Driven' is now officially in development. (http://www.worstpreviews.com/headline.php?id=25047&count=0)

This is great news! Gosling would be a dummy if he didn't sign up for this again. I want to see him crush in some more skulls.

[richardp]

I'm very apprehensive unless Gosling, Refn, are in AND Johnny Jewel is back as a musical consultant.

[Self.Destructive.Pattern]

Johnny Jewel is back as a musical consultant.

YES! His mixing skills are pretty superb. The soundtrack is just perfect for the film.

[Conrad Lienert]

What next: No Country For Old Men II: The Further Adventures of Anton Chigurh?

I know you're being funny, but I would LOVE this! NCFOM is one of my favourite movies. I need more of it!

[Space Suicide]

That's fucking great. I really loved the soundtrack from this movie. Thanks to it I like Kavinsky.

Nightcall is such an amazing track this movie starts off to.

[ImTheWiseJanitor]

God dammit. I have to have it.

[wizfan]

Fuckin' love Stout's style.

[Hazekiah]

I saw Valhalla Rising completely cold with no idea wtf it was out of the blue a couple years ago and was COMPLETELY blown away. I fucking LOVE that movie.

About a week ago I bought a stack of DVDs from a Dollar General store and got a BUNCH of stuff I'd never really heard of but I was willing to take a (cheap) risk on. Everything paid off (Puncture and Wrecked, for instance)...but nothing more than Drive.

This movie cost 8 bucks so I picked it up at the expense of about 6 other movies, which I was kinda hesitant to do. But I knew it was supposed to be great and it starred Ryan Gosling (who, between his roles, his good deeds, and his music just really seems to be an all-around awesome guy), so I went for it anyway, not knowing really anything beyond that.

HOLYYYYY FUCK.

The tension, the chases, the near-total absence of dialogue (and the way the film almost mocks that, lol), the OUT-OF-NOWHERE ultraviolence, ALBERT FUCKING BROOKS, and HOT DAMN, the music!

O_O

INSTANT. CLASSIC.

Kinda bummed I'm late to the party, but more than anything I'm just glad I finally got in.

I've owned this movie for about three days since I finally watched it and I've already made six other people watch it over the course of three more screenings since then. So far everyone goes in with no idea wtf I'm showing them and comes out the other end LOVING it. Two of them even went and bought their own copies at the same dollar store, lol.

CANNOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS MOVIE.

Bumping this thread to help draw attention to it since seeing it at the top of the ets Cinema subforum is partly what made me finally give it a chance.

Hopefully someone else sees it's been bumped here and goes to their local dollar store to see what's up, lol.

:)


I really liked this movie. Even the soundtrack, and im not a huge fan of that style.
I found the violence very "peckinpahish".

Yeah, I know a girl who doesn't even like movies much but who LOVES '80s-infused dance/synth stuff like the band Trust. The last time we hung out I probably heard their first album about a hundred times, ffs. And it's awesome! Just not so much my thing. Can't WAIT to show her this movie with an AWESOME sound system.

And GREAT call about Sam Peckinpah, btw! The director even makes the exact same comparison in the bonus features.


I went in not knowing what to expect, and once I got it I was unsure of how I felt. After having time to think about it, I decided it was great, but how the film unfolded was somewhat surprising. After learning who made the movie, and what he had done before, it made sense. It seems like I was impressed by the camera work, but I was definitely impressed by the music, as it was fucking perfect. Cliff Martinez definitely has a new fan. It currently holds the second spot on my top ten list for the year.

Exactly! Between this and Valhalla Rising I'm officially on a quest to see every single movie Nicolas Winding Refn has ever made and will ever make. Daaaaaamn, he's GOOD.

And I was really impressed by the music made FOR this film apart from the pre-existing stuff it appropriated so brilliantly. So I was IMMEDIATELY struck by the revelation in the credits that it was by Cliff Martinez!

Honestly, I never knew the name till about 3 weeks ago when I was likewise impressed with his work on "The Knick" (discussion and entire first episode right here (http://www.echoingthesound.org/community/threads/3399-The-Knick), btw) and went out of my way to figure out who scored it.

And now, looking at his output, HOLY FUCK...I've been a fan for over half my life without even knowing who the fuck this guy was!

Spring Breakers. Contagion. Wonderland. Solaris. Narc. Traffic. The Limey.

OMFG, even going as far back as Pump Up the Volume and Sex, Lies, and Videotape!

WAT.

This guy is fucking GOOD.

And learning that he's credited with "drums/metal" on Stinkfist -- probably my ALL-TIME FAVORITE Lydia Lunch/Clint Ruin release -- absolutely BLOWS MY MIND.

That's reaching WAAAAAAY back.

Just like with Refn, I'm OFFICIALLY tuned-in now and turning on to EVERY SINGLE THING this guy's EVER done and WILL do.

Just for the hell of it, here's some of his earlier work:

I don't know about this idea...

DRIVE is PERFECT the way it is...

It's cool to have bands inspired by the movie and whatnot.

that CHVRCHES song is pretty cool.

but i just don't think DRIVE should be altered in any way or form.

it's already an amazing soundtrack and score as it is... it feels kinda/sorta disrespectful to remove its music and replace it with some artists' music that had no connection to the movie to begin with.

maybe it's just because i just love DRIVE so much

what's next? remove the music from FIGHT CLUB and replace it with THE DOWNWARD SPIRAL?

DRIVE is one of the greatest movies this last decade.

[onthewall2983]

Overseas label Second Sight has put out new 4K Blu-ray editions of this. Stateside they are fairly easy to pick up on Amazon but a bit pricy. They do have a basic release, which I bought last week. Looks and sounds incredible as it always did. It’s in the discussion if not the shortlist for best movies of that decade and I can see how much it’s shaped the culture since.
