Now that you got your first taste of Nicolas Winding Refn, I think it might be time that you guys experienced the late 90s/early 00s Danish Crime Cinematic Universe. The big names here would Refn's Pusher series or In China They Eat Dogs (I know what it sounds like George, but that's not what the movie is about).

2025-06-22 16:24:59 +0000 UTCI thought he was going to go under Pershing Square. I live in LA, so I've seen countless chases, often stolen cars, and they basically never get away. The choppers just follow them until they run out of gas, crash, or get walled in somehow. Then one day I saw a guy who had been running for a long time, maybe an hour or more, just go into the massive underground parking garage under Pershing Square in downtown LA. I don't think they ever found the guy. Too huge, too many exits. Kinda brilliant.

2025-06-20 16:50:28 +0000 UTCThanks for reacting to my favorite film of all time. You should really watch the Every Frame a Painting video on Youtube about it. Its such an interesting film if you watch how the frames are put together. The director is stellar. The Pusher trilogy is excellent and Bronson is a film you guys should definitely react to. It was probably the film that really put Tom Hardy on the map.

2025-06-18 03:10:57 +0000 UTCThis movie had realistic suspense banger written all over it with that opening scene. Then wow how it strayed from that, into a slow burn slasher. Huh? What a strange movie, a let down in my book. PS - Bryan Cranston you will always be Walter White man.

2025-06-18 01:31:09 +0000 UTCGosling really doesn't get enough credit for what a terrific actor he is. The man can convey so much, with so little. And yes George, I really hope you two react to not just Before Sunrise, but the entirety of the Before trilogy! I've been hoping to get to experience the magic of those movies with y'all for a while now!

2025-06-17 07:01:13 +0000 UTCIn a weird way this was always a big comfort movie for me as a teenager. Probably in large part just because of the soundtrack. It was such a joy to come back to this with you guys, and I love how much you picked up on the ever darkening tone of the movie. I think my young brain missed a lot of that and was just focused on the romantic parts lol. And I love how much you were invested in their chemistry too xD What an amazing movie. I'm so glad you both liked it.

2025-06-17 06:40:08 +0000 UTCI'm beyond thrilled that you both watched and enjoyed this one! I've got a whole book of a comment that I'm not going to post because I don't feel that I did a good job with the formatting. So instead I'm just keeping it brief. Kick ass movie that I knew you'd dig on. :) Very, very happy that you both liked it.

2025-06-16 07:12:15 +0000 UTCI saw it as Driver thinks of himself as the scorpion, when he is actually more like the frog. Like in the scene with Benicio, when they talk about sharks, Driver thinks of himself as a shark and is sad, because sharks cannot be good.

2025-06-15 19:13:01 +0000 UTCGeorge! You mentioned a great film "Before Sunrise" as great longing stares. The movie that does this best of course is "In the Mood for Love" (2000)

2025-06-15 17:51:32 +0000 UTCGreat reaction to one of my favorites! One theory I've seen in online discussions of this film is that The Driver is mildly autistic, though I don't know if I agree with it.
Jeff I.
2025-06-15 15:05:59 +0000 UTCI didn't confirm but I swear that booth was from Nightcrawler when Jake Gyllenhaal interviewed his poor partner early on. The second I saw it that jumped to mind and Simone asking about it made me think it's possible.

Thirty Year Old Mulberry Field
2025-06-15 08:14:11 +0000 UTCSo he did the Mad Max thing, saved the day and then left. I love those movies, and the Dollars Trilogy, because of that, because that's how I am every time I go to work, I save the place from burning down and then I just leave, and I never wanna see any of you people ever again, although I will in the sequel, Tomorrow (I'm kidding of course, fuck that place). I loved that the Driver became the Shape, the Shape you might know was what Michael Myers was called in the script before they figured out his look with the Shatner mask. Great movie actually (great music, I agree, reminds me of 80s Darkwave, which I love, sort of updated) and this movie reminded me of another movie with a similar vibe but darker, a Joaquin Phoenix movie, "You Were Never Really Here". I always struggle with how much to say to pique interest without spoiling too much, suffices to say, he's a war veteran who does stuff, for pay, to people who deserve to have stuff done to them. The first time I heard the "Scorpion and the Frog" parable was in a movie from the 90s called "The Crying Game", unfortunately it was actually part of the joke in Ace Ventura that didn't age well, but it's a good movie in my opinion.
MacGuffinStuff
2025-06-15 07:19:32 +0000 UTCDefinitely co-sign anyone recommending Lars and the Real Girl for a Ryan Gosling follow on, but I'm surprised to not see recommendations for Blue Valentine, a brutally honest portrayal of relationships and one of Ryan Gosling's best early films. It's overwhelming and at times hard to watch but done so well it can't be ignored as one of the best dramas about relationships. The writing, the music. So, so good.
Brandon Meng
2025-06-15 05:27:43 +0000 UTCLove this movie. great soundtrack the opening song is Nightcall by Kavinsky and George, how dare you say that jacket is ugly jk. This movie is great too introduce you to the world of Synthwave music.

2025-06-15 04:51:51 +0000 UTCI love going into movies with no idea what it’s about. These days that’s harder to do, though. You can turn off all lights with most cars. In Canada, all cars imported or manufactured in the country after January 1, 1990 must have Daytime Running Lights, so perhaps Simone that is what you are thinking of? Daytime Running Lights (usually just dimmer forward facing headlights, etc) automatically come on when the car is started, but more likely than not you can turn everything off at least temporarily until you start the car again. My MINI has daytime running lights that can optionally be set to come on when the car starts, but I drive my car with all exterior lighting on all the time. I have a tiny car and want to be visible! The opening sequence feels like a lot of 1980s cop show opening credits. Cary Mulligan is British pulling off a great American accent. The diner location she works at is a Denny’s at 530 Ramirez Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012. The jacket isn’t something I’d wear but I think it looks cool. Fun reaction!

2025-06-15 04:34:35 +0000 UTCOh this is so unfortunate coincidence but the Minnesota shooter was dressed as a cop and wearing a bald man Halloween full latex mask like Driver 😢. The real world is so depressing. Thank you for sharing your reactions with us 🖖🫶
SpankTheMonk
2025-06-15 04:05:21 +0000 UTCHot take, but if you would consider watching the very divisive Only God Forgives, by the same director and also featuring Gosling in the lead, you'd be the coolest people ever.

SpankTheMonk
2025-06-15 02:43:00 +0000 UTCI assume Simone has already seen the Holly Hunter classic Broadcast News, but Albert Brooks is really terrific in that. Other quintessential Brooks roles are in Defending Your Life and Out Of Sight. A movie very similar to Drive in tone, coolness, and soundtrack is The Guest...it also stars a ridiculously handsome lead, but has a much more fun and playful edge to it. Another one that's great to go into not knowing too much.

Jesse Coombs
2025-06-15 02:11:20 +0000 UTCI've changed the way i see this film totally on second watch. In the film's closing minutes, Albert Brooks recounts the scorpion and frog fable to the driver. Initially, I interpreted this parable as casting the driver as the scorpion, inherently violent and dangerous by nature. But this reading really only reflects the driver's own self-perception. We as the audience witness his genuine compassion and self-sacrifice. I now think the driver actually embodies the frog, offering his services to transport criminals who assure him their predatory instincts won't be directed at him. After all, harming their getaway driver would jeopardize their own escape. This is really hammered home in the final scene. After the driver leads Albert Brooks to the money (his destination), he's immediately betrayed with a knife attack. This betrayal results in Brooks' death and, following the logic of the fable, likely seals the driver's fate as well. Edit: Just watched the trivia!

Quick fun fact, him and Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima are besties, to the point that both have appeared on each other's work; Kojima in the show Too Old to Die Young and NWR in Death Stranding.

2025-06-15 00:07:46 +0000 UTCThe Carey M physical action/acting after Ryan leaves her apartment was so good, attempting to lock the door but not actually and distractingly touching her lips absentmindedly thinking about him - 👏. Cook was in the chasing car and got hurt during their crash I believe. I think Ryan is also the scorpion, every layer down. They think he is the frog but he is dangerous too

2025-06-14 23:15:07 +0000 UTCWhen you guys saw him blink I’m pretty sure the director wants you to believe his alive. Why would he not told the “girl friend” that he will be missing? So Simone us as the viewers him driving away and the money bag is still in the ground is another “dead” give away 😆. Also Simone i know you liked this song…….Nightcall by Kavinsky. George nice reaction buddy, I also didn’t liked how the movie portrayed him as the good guy and then killing away like he had the right to do so.

SpankTheMonk
2025-06-14 21:56:13 +0000 UTCIf the story of the film follows the Scorpion and the Frog parable to its conclusion, then yes, the driver dies in the end, as both the Frog and the Scorpion die before reaching the other side of the river. The final scene of the driver at night can be interpreted as the afterlife where those who made bad choices only see dark, dark roads ahead of them. However, there is a sequel book to the original novel of which this film was adapted from, written by the original author as well. I won't go too deeply into it, but the driver (Gosling's character) returns in it.

2025-06-14 21:47:21 +0000 UTCNow that they have been introduced to Nicolas Winding Refn, they can do The Neon Demon next. His cinematography and shot composition is beautiful and interesting. Even his netflix show was interesting, weird but beautiful and interesting.

Soundtrack is on my regular driving rotation. Can't wait to watch with you guys. Edit: I love how human the Driver is. Like, yes he seems to have this almost superhuman focus, but other than that, he smiles when Irene shows up at the garage, cracks jokes with the kid, about the wheels, etc. He's just a guy. Seems to have some kind of weirdo complex wherein he thinks he's a superhero, but just a guy still. Also George finally getting the bean comments hahaha

2025-06-14 19:42:54 +0000 UTCIf either of you want to see jon bernthal play a role totally different than anything you've ever seen him do, he had a small part in on episode on the TV show How I Met Your Mother.

REDR58
2025-06-14 18:58:05 +0000 UTCFirstly… THAT JACKET IS AWESOME GEORGE! IT’s a satin racing jacket and it has a LOT of symbolism from film history and story classical story telling. So the jacket is a reference to a short film from the 1960s called SCORPIO RISING and it’s about deconstructing the archetypes about loner biker “heroes” from movies at the time. The kind of rebel thug that is capable of love and also extreme violence and danger. This whole movie is riffing on that too with the archetype of the Byronic Hero (as in Lord Byron), that dangerous bad boy who’s capable of deep love. The repeated line of “Real human being, and a real hero” is directly talking about this idea. The “hero” of Scorpio Rising relates back to the scorpion on the jacket which in this case isn’t a biker jacket but rather a satin racing bomber jacket, something common in car culture, especially California cruising car culture. The jacket also became ICONIC and is one of the most sold replica pieces of clothing in movie history. Now for recommendations if you dug this… Pusher, where Mads Mikkelsen got his start with the same director. It’s a Danish crime film about low level guys. Not quite as stylish as this but VERY impactful. And you get to see a BABY Mads from the mid 90s. Then BRONSON the true story of the UK’s most dangerous inmate, Charlie Bronson, played by Tom Hardy. The movie is HEAVILY inspired by the work of Kubrick and the real Charlie Bronson’s art work. INCREDIBLE performance from Hardy… I honestly think his best performance by miles and it’s not even close. I also really like Neon Demon starring Elle Fanning in the cut throat world of modeling. The less you know about that one the better, even the cast is a shocker.

2025-06-14 18:42:53 +0000 UTCClassic. The only other NWR film I like is 'Neon Demon'. He's very marmite in his output. For more Carey Mulligan I recommend 'Never Let Me Go'.
Odd Thomas
2025-06-14 18:41:07 +0000 UTCI want to visit an alternate reality where Hugh Jackman played the Driver. I don't think he'd be better at all, but I'm extremely curious. I was lucky enough to see this in a theatre. Pretty sure my local theatre only played it for two weeks. Albert Brooks as a villain still shocks me to this day. Refn is a great director imo but his movies can be hit and miss for me. He did another movie with Ryan Gosling after this 'Only God Forgives' and it's one of those movies where I still can't tell if I like it or not.

Ketzalborne
2025-06-14 17:02:02 +0000 UTCSince the plot is a bit confusing, I'll lay it out. Nino was mad at the mob for a) moving in on his territory and b) all the antisemitic comments they made toward him. So, he paid Cook to rob the place, not wanting it to be tied back to him. Nino knew who he was robbing, but Cook didn't. Cook pressured Standard into robbing the place via his debt. Cook thought they were getting only 40K and didn't know the place was mob-run. Nino hired the other guy (the buddy in the sling who Ernie killed) to rob Standard right after the robbery. Both Cook and Blanche knew this would happen but didn't know they were stealing from the mob; however, Standard and the Driver had no idea. No one was supposed to die. However, the mob-run pawnshop owner followed after Standard and killed him (because he is a mob guy). This caused the driver to flee, which caused the other dude in the car to come after him for the money. The driver flips his car and breaks his arm. Blanche called Cook to let him know what happened. Cook called in a hit on them to get the money back (or maybe he just called Nino, and Nino called the hit). The driver asked Shannon to track down Cook. Cook asked for help from Bernie, who had no idea any of this was happening or involved Nino. The driver threatened Cook and found out it was Nino. The driver calls Nino and tries to return the money, but Nino is scared that the mob will find out and decides that everyone must die. He comes clean to Bernie, and Bernie agrees that everyone needs to die too, and Bernie kills the guy in the sling who was supposed to rob Standard. Shannon tells Bernie what has happened, trying to fix things, including who Irene is. Nino sends one of his dudes after Irene to take hostage to lure the driver out, but the Driver kills that dude in the elevator. The driver is pissed that Nino knows about his address and Irene, so he confronts Shannon. Things get heated, but he calms down and tells him to run. Before Shannon can escape, Bernie kills him. The driver, in retaliation, kills Nino and then goes to the meet, knowing it's a trap. He kills Bernie and is stabbed. No one left alive knows about Irene, but the mob can still find out that it was the driver who robbed them and killed their associates, Nino and Bernie, so the driver takes off to protect Irene. Oh, and my headcanon is that the Driver is a reformed hitman who doesn't want to kill anymore (or a reformed slasher villain). That's why he tells everyone that he won't carry a gun and just drives. He must have run away from someone else and just appeared in LA. Now he has to do it again.

2025-06-14 16:20:40 +0000 UTCHave you seen the Breaking Bad "alternate ending"?
Rev
2025-06-14 15:25:01 +0000 UTCFor sure it's very easy to construct your own ending with this. I imagine he just left, but for sure he very easily could have gone back. Maybe they eloped :) It's a super arty movie, Bernie says at some point that critics said the movies he produced were "European" and that he thought they were shit - he means massively pretentious and moody and excessively long shots and almost totally devoid of any sort of identifiable plot - this movie is almost painfully of that type of movie (though, y'know, better), almost like Hollywood revival of that, in some ways it's kinda surprising it didn't kick-start a whole series of movies trying to copy it. Even though it wasn't very successful in terms it was massively profitable because the budget was tiny, you could use it almost as a "Make Hollywood Great Again" template - movies don't need to have 300 million dollar budgets to make a difference in the world. Critics love it but not many saw it on release but it's one of those movies that has gained fairly massive cult status; John Wick was the same era shares that sort of nobody actually really saw it on release but relative to its budget it was enormously profitable vibe. I personally think it's one of Gosling's best movies, fite me. People always think Walter White with Bryan Cranston, but he'll always be the dad from Malcolm in the Middle to me. This movie help kick-start the interest in Synthwave and inspired a lot of Synthwave groups to start. It's a great soundtrack.
Martin Nicholls
2025-06-14 14:45:07 +0000 UTCI liked OGF too. Refn does always get really beautiful shots. I see a possible Michael Mann influence in a lot of them from this film.
Grandalf
2025-06-14 14:40:16 +0000 UTCNickolas Winding-Refn is a great writer/director and really underrated in my opinion. Valhalla Rising, with Mads Mikkelson is another wild one. If I remember correctly there's hardly any dialogue in it. Funny, I was just about to mention I love the way he uses light and shadow, and his shot blocking and Simone is talking about just that as I type this out. It's pretty obvious why Drive wasn't more popular, when you look at how it was marketed. Imagine the average movie goer expecting to see an entertaining action / heist movie ( if I remember the trailer correctly, it was dominated by the one chase scene) and instead of something like Baby Driver, you get a dark, hyper-violent character study with a side of romance. Must've killed the word of mouth. That said, it actually did well at the box office, espescially considering it's 15 million dollar budget.
Grandalf
2025-06-14 14:33:44 +0000 UTCSo glad you guys managed to eventually get around the film which I star in! I'm literally the driver! :D
Myles Casey
2025-06-14 14:23:01 +0000 UTCWatching the reaction and comparing I’d say the difference could be understood as Frankenstein vs Dracula. The driver is a Frankenstein’s creature, a monster striving to be human, but Baby is an innocent fighting against an evil and seductive corruption. All the robbers in that movie are different shades of vampire - Jamie Fox’s character is even called Bats.
Jacob King
2025-06-14 14:13:58 +0000 UTCNicolas Winding Refn is one of the best Danish directors, although the violence in his movies can be quite shocking, if you don't know his style! He started out with the movie 'Pusher' that is about hardcore criminals in Copenhagen, it got two sequels and they're all very worth watching, if you can find a version with subtitles!
Denashi
2025-06-14 14:08:17 +0000 UTCForgot how much the neon look of this movie had a subsequent impact on other films. Also having Albert Brooks (Brad Goodman himself) play against type was a great casting choice for Bernie considering his filmography. Oh random fact - this and No Country For Old Men have the same poster tagline. Perhaps Anton Chigurh’s in this movie’s world too? 🤔

2025-06-14 13:57:15 +0000 UTCSo funny you surprised by the violence. Welcome to the Nicolas Winding Refn realm. :D You can try his other films too. 'Only God Forgives' has very mixed review but I kinda like it, Ryan Gosling is here too, 'Neon Demon' is very trippy, but a very beautifully shot movie with Elle Fanning. 'Bronson' is mostly a very liked movie with Tom Hardy. 'Valhalla Rising' starring Mads Mikkelsen.

2025-06-14 12:55:17 +0000 UTCI love this movie, but I can understand you being bored by it. I think it falls into the "love it or hate it" category. If the style of filmmaking doesn't work for you, I don't think a million watches will change your mind.

2025-06-14 12:54:13 +0000 UTCI remember watching this movie when it first came out, and just being straight up bored... I haven't seen it since. Was I a cinema neophyte and should I give this movie another chance? Or is this a "love-it-or-hate-it" kind of thing?

2025-06-14 12:35:47 +0000 UTCYou mentioned Baby Driver in the intro. I will take this opportunity to mention another Edgar Wright movie. Last Night in Soho (2021) has a very distinct vibe like Drive does, I think you guys would love it.

2025-06-14 12:32:50 +0000 UTCBaby Driver and Drive are both European directors going to America and riffing on an old Steve McQueen film called the Getaway but they’re not really similar.

2025-06-14 12:17:07 +0000 UTCNicholas Refn directed Bronson with Tom Hardy worth checking out. My favourite Ryan Gosling movies are Lars and the real girl and Blue Valentine.

2025-06-14 12:10:06 +0000 UTCThe movie that made neon lights cool again. Also influenced a lot of indie films that came out after, as well as games like Hotline Miami!
