#28. Drive

Some heroes are real.

Less words, more blood & murders

Well, frankly speaking, depressive films impact more on people than comedies, for instance. I do not know why, but for me it is the matter of a feeling, I mean how you feel at the particular moment during this film.
After having watched "Drive", I was kind of confused, because judging by the whole tone of the movie - I disliked it but, to be exact, something got stuck into my mind. Cannot say that it is a marvellous film, I have never been passionate about such movies.
While watching it, I lacked for some action, kind of a 'key moment' of the film (in its plot). But such works are rather rare. For about first twenty minutes the main character - Driver - does say nothing, even pronounces no sound, and the tension which you start feeling from the beginning is getting worser till the end of the film.
Ryan Gosling's character is a professional racer, who at first glance for me was a kind of psycho but then he turned out to be a great Man with strong life and moral principles. His main job is doing driving stunts for films, he also works in a garage held by a 'friend'.
In general, this is not a typical action or a thriller. Fully depicted 60-80s, main hero who ruins his life for the sake of love and an unfinished end that gives us opportunity to continue on thinking what the director wanted to say.
Moreover, "Drive" was the participant of Cannes Film Festival and Nicolas Winding Refn has won the "Best director" prize for it. 
Definitely worth seeing.
