The Most Must See Movie

Rating: 10/10 (17 July 2013)

If someone asks me "What are the movies I have to watch?", with no doubt and definitely I recommend this, Drive. This is a masterpiece which fights for 2nd or 1st place in the films I've ever watched.
This is a crime movie. Gosling acts a man called Driver who is in daytime a stuntman and in night a driver preparing a getaway for criminals. He meets Irene,a young woman and a neighbor, and as the relationship with her becomes deeper, he gradually involves in a big trouble.
With its visually and violently beautiful directions,the atmosphere of this movie becomes unutterably brilliant. That's why I do love this movie. From beginning to end everything is cool. Music is marvelous. All songs used in this movie aren't loud but quiet and softly make a moving impression. For the first time,I bought a soundtrack involuntarily. Especially, I'm fond of "A Real Hero".
Camera-work is skillful. The scene of city from the night sky is a good example. Tone mainly using orange and picture using light and shade are admirably beautiful.
There're many violent scenes. Some people say it's too much but for me, it's not. They're stylish and gap between quiet atmosphere of this movie fascinates me.
Most of all, actors are magnificent. Among other things Gosling's performance is perfect. I'm wondering why didn't be nominated for Oscar. He doesn't have much lines but his face deliberates feelings like anger or sadness. I am amazed by this. Through this movie, I became a big fan of him. I went to watch "A Gangster Squad" and "The Place Beyond the Pines", which both of them are good movies.
Other actors are also excellent. Perlman and Brooks's way of acting villains are great. And Isacs's character he's a bad guy and I don't know why but I can't dislike him. I think perhaps it's because of his ability of acting. Cranston's atmosphere which is attractive and elegant is exquisite. For example, the scene he introduce driver to Irene is one of my favorite scenes. What should not be forgotten is Mulligan's acting as men want to protect her.
I think it's the story of angry man. Usually driver is taciturn and lonely but after meeting Irene, he starts to change and decides to fight for her and Benicia's happiness.
I like the scene driver drives with them while the sun is setting in. "A Real Hero" the song I said before is playing in this scene. Beautiful. I also like the scene in the elevator driver kisses Irene and beats a pawn.
Most of all,last scene is stunning. After watching, lingering sensation came up and I felt goosebumps break out and couldn't do anything for a while. Impressed by image of driver, I almost moved to tears. This movie tells me about protecting loving person.
Brutal but beautiful. Violent but quiet. Don't miss this outstanding crime movie!
