@@porassrivastava8242 We don't know if Drive will define a generation because we are still currently in that generation. I recommend watching Refn's interview with William Friedkin, in order to learn a thing or two about how we speak about newer films. Like Friedkin tells Refn in the interview, "we won't know about Drive for another 20 or 30 years" in response to referring to Drive as a "masterpiece" or that it "defined a generation."
@@mysticsaxophone4181 Gosling had fantastic roles in the recent years: The Nice Guys, La La Land & Blade Runner. I also liked him in Song to Song by Malick.
@@Chinaski1 I'll give you Nice Guys, he's hilarious in it. I personally didn't care for La La Land at all (not because its genre, I love musicals) and while Blade Runner was a pretty good film, Gosling wasn't exactly the main attraction in it.
Just finished watching the entire season over 1 weekend. All i can say is... Wow! I had suspicions but i can now say with confidence, NWR is the modern day Tarkovsky. An absolute master and genius at work
Haven't seen pusher, hear good things. Neon Demon is another one I missed, I like the concept but I'm not sure it's for me. And yes, that 22 min intro in episode 6 was beyond epic...
@@powerofberzerker9487 I can assure you that I didn't steal it. But, I guess I could "blame" to all the philosophical books that I read. Especially to Emil Cioran. :)
I love Refn interview they’re so fucking funny 😆 like he cracks me by how offbeat and off kilter his Cinematography strikes a mood in the heart of our souls .
As a fan that whole-heartedly appreciates Refn’s vision and slow pacing, I have to admit that the stillness and delayed dialogue slowly became tiring. Although, it was coated with beautiful shots and perfect casting.
@@User-mp4mu I see what he was trying to do with her, shifting to her being the main character, but they just don't give her enough to do in the story. I mean she only acts as a vigilante 3 times...
@@cool64378 yeah totally agree! In my opinion, due to Refn’s aesthetic (being slow-paced and hypnotic, in a way), his movies/series only work when there are minimal number of main characters, as it gives enough time to emotionally invest in them insofar as to feel empathetic or even alienated by their decision-making, similar to Drive and Valhalla Rising. Thus, Refn’s method of storytelling limits the ability of including a multitude of characters. A prime example where it worked was in his underrated Pusher series where there was a lot going on, unlike TOTDY
Ed Brubaker is a friend of Refn? Oh my God!!b the Guy that made “the Fade Out” and “criminals” “velvet” this is sooo cool , I love seeing people I like striking each other’s imaginations and stimulating their creations . Hope one day to do the same
I never really noticed until recently watching TOtDY, but Miles Teller really is one handsome bastard. I really like his look here with the mustache and that haircut.
Wonder if he intended the Irony of releasing a streaming show all at once with a style that forces most viewers to consume it split up like an episodic TV drama or if it was all the accident. Like a lot of his stuff I kinda get the feeling the parts are worth more than the sum of the whole.
Nic is right about streaming being the future, and a very great canvas for storytelling. But I do hope he makes films again, because I would absolutely love to see a film of his in theaters
There were some dialogues in this show that i thought were so brilliant that i had to rewind and watch them again. Also it looked stunningly good and some extremely good acting. Thought it was great. But it was extremely slow and ending was a bit flat. NWR is a very talented man
I love NWR’s work but i feel like he’s gotten a little too lost in his own creative world. The first few episodes were intriguing to say the least, but like 90% of the series is slow pans, delayed dialogue, and big pauses. I get the effect he’s trying to convey but a lot of scenes could’ve been minutes shorter. After a while the slowness of the series began to get excruciating but I was already 5 episodes in so I rode it out.
I disagree , slow cinema is the most rewarding because it builds ambience and mood which is ultimately a film makers dream, imagine telling tarkovsky his shots are way too long> (i know comparing nic to tarkovsky is blasphemy since ones deeply philosophical and the other is a cinematic fetishist) but honestly i loved the pace of the series because i trusted nic all the way with how much love he put in this
NWR is great at doing that but there’s such a thing as too much especially when the rewards already been delivered within the first few minutes of almost every artistic portrait of scenes he had in every episode. After a while it began to become an expectation and repetitive rhythm. It would’ve been fine the first few episodes but the rest of the time it felt pointless and senseless. All in all though I still loved the the series cause I’d been waiting for it for over a year and the noir styled theme and music struck a cord with me.
Its his style. Thats what we show up for. We want something else, we go somewhere else. I hope he never conforms. If Im not digging it Ill turn it off, but he needs to do him. Always. Thats cinema. Point of view.
10 episodes, there aren't any indications there will be a second season. I think it was planned and written to be one season. But open ended enough to allow more if it somehow was a hit.
@@aarondorris7639 REWATCHING IT ITS THE BEST SERIE EVER IF YOU REALLY ENJOY CAREFULLY MADE SHOTS AND THE COMBINATION OF SEX AND VIOLENCE ITS CRAZY TRULY! YOU GOTTA BE PATIENT THO
@@linusfotograf I've seen a lot of people say that about episode 2, but I genuinely love it. I wouldn't recommend this whole show to many people, but I could recommend episode 2 as it's own kind of standalone Refn movie.
