DRIVE (2011) | Film Analysis and Review 

The soundtrack in this film was second to none

Being a 43yr old car, film and music enthusiast this movie hit all of my sweet spots. Drive is so damn good in so many ways. It's beautiful and raw, clean and dirty and I effing love it!

Gosling is such a good actor, even though he doesn't show much emotion he can do drama as good as comedy. Once I was Watching Blade Runner 2049 at home, when my brother walked in, sat for a while and the said "You know, I really feel like watching 'The Nice Guys' for some reason."

Easily the best film of 2011 imho, Drive created its own sub-genre: Neon Noir.

This is the movie that got me back into filmmaking. I just absolutely love this film, it has everything. I can't get enough of the soundtrack and I love my Scorpion jacket. I'd hope one day to achieve something similar with my dream project influenced by this movie.

One of my favorite movies ever made

I'll take this film over any of the F&F films. Also it has my man Pearlman so I have to love it. I also recommend checking out The Driver of which this film is a very loose remake of.

The front end wasn't destroyed because they reinforced the bumper for this scene. Bumpers stick out about 5 inches past the grill on the 73 chevelles. Fun fact ryan Gosling choose the chevelle in a junkyard and rebuilt it himself to get into the role

SHOUT OUT to Ryan Gosling who basically was a producer on this film. He hired Refn after seeing Bronson and cast Albert Brooks who he loved in those great comedies. He also kept pushing to trim Driver's dialogue to its bare finished state. He pitched a sequel set around Vegas. Fingers crossed.

Most underrated film of all time cos for some reason nobody seems to know about it and it’s amazing

Damn, I put this on as background noise only for me to be fully watching. You nailed this analysis and I'm grateful you did so as this film provides so much to explore, thank you for this, damn shame this doesn't have more views because it really deserves more.

Love the synthwave in this

Excellent analysis, learned a lot from this! Just one thing - Driver’s blink in his car at the end which,after a long pause, reveals he’s still alive and not dead, recalls the staring contest he had with the kid in the garage earlier in the film - “you lose you blinked first! “ also when Shannon states that Driver took the job in the garage on half the normal pay “without blinking” - the blinking, or lack of it, becomes something of a motif.

I DON'T EAT, I DON'T SLEEP, I DO NOTHING BUT THINK OF YOUUU

I have always really loved this movie but after watching this deep dive into it made me appreciate it that much more. Thank you

Harry is a goslingposter confirmed.

Thank you so much for covering my favourite film of all time. It's super underrated and I'm so glad you covered it!

Best one of these yet, well done mate

God, Kavinsky is legendary

Masterpiece

Amazing movie with an amazing soundtrack.. Gives you that timeless feeling. Thanks for the video!

this video is underrated

Human Bean

a place beyond the pines is 100% a sequel to drive, in my opinion. this would make for a great video

I love Carey Mulligan I wish she was more into acting bc she's really good

A wonderfully executed (heehee) work from all thematic and design aspects, the sound design, color design and perfect cinematography- as well as performances. One of my students submitted a very interesting possibility, one that is very disturbing:!that Driver is fantasizing his hero’ness. His scorpion costume is the indicator that he’s going in and out of fantasy in his otherwise completely metal/hardness/toxic male reality. Worth considering, as much as this theory turns the tables!

I never looked at with symbolism and depth you did and without that it's one of my 5 favorite films ever. There was never something I could put my finger I just found it immensely enjoying.

I drive (I’m literally Ryan Gosling And The Driver From Drive 2011)

This movie made me more open to action movies... It made a whole genre for me

Inside no. 9 please

So it’s macbeth except he kills lady macbeth before anything goes wrong?

also ryan gosling star sign is Scorpio.... genius!

One of my Fave Films I thank the Sire Harry!

Damn, awesome review. Thanks!

Literally me

It’s like I want to watch this video, but first I want to rewatch the film to enjoy it again

Drive = what motivates people

I had to go rewatch this film before watching its, one of the best I've seen

Good analysis

Yes, love this movie!

One of my favorite movies!

Fun fact will Smith isn't in this film.

Im so glad that I gave this movie a second chance

You missed the star of David on the garage door

He's just like me fr fr

It's actually a pretty straightforward hero's journey leaning heavily on Jungian symbolism.
