DR"EYE"VE—Eye Technique

In general, Drive is an unexpected thriller-type movie. It is

said that he was unexpected because
1. In American movies where heroism is popular, Drive presents a kind of anti-heroism.

2. In big shots, In American movies where big beauties and big men run rampant, Drive portrays an ordinary little person: he's nobody, but he's a real human, a real hero, just like the supporting actor Albert Brooks said, you don't need to yell at people To show what violence is, I think the director’s philosophy also runs through it—a true hero does not need external exaggeration to wrap himself up

. 3. Thanks to the director’s talent, drive fully interprets the concept of "violence and art coexist", so drive is NOT just another thriller

Here you can see that this movie was rated as one of the best in 2011 by many audiences because it is not about violence, not racing, not money, but human nature: an ordinary little person The soul-seeking journey is
so hard. So this is why, you will find so many close-ups of eyes in the film. In addition to Ryan Gosling's glamour, the director seems to want to convey something? A thing that can only mean whether you can speak ?

------------------------------------- Eye Technique Analysis --------- -----------------------------After
watching the movie carefully, you will find that the driver doesn't blink most of the time (probably in (70%-80% of the time is not blinking), he only blinked when the movie was ending, before in the car when the heroine said she had a husband, he blinked, and the rest is with the heroine Just blink like a normal person in the same time. What does this mean?

Everyone has noticed a very symbolic thing in the film-the scorpion behind the jacket. The character of the scorpion echoes the character of the driver. When the driver shows instinct like a scorpion, his belief is firm, the body He is ready to go, his look is concentrated, so he does not blink, which also metaphors that he is non-human at this time

. 1. The driver blinks like a normal person only when he is with the heroine because he is beloved. During the time he was together, he felt that he had become a flesh and blood person, a real human with a soul, a man with unconditional love.

2. In the car when he heard the heroine tell him "I have a husband" At that time, he was silent for a short time. After the time stopped for a few seconds, the driver blinked. It was because of his love. His humanity uttered a voice from the bottom of his heart: No matter what happens, he will protect her. , Assist her, love her without asking for anything, at this moment the driver has become a real human—a real human

3. In the long ten-second shot at the end, the driver sat weakly in the car with blood infiltrating After the clothes, he didn't blink. Maybe everyone thought he was dead, but finally he blinked. This last blink blinked with a touch of satisfaction and a touch of comfort. It is an account of his soul and a responsibility to his beloved woman. , The pursuit of firm belief, at this moment he has completed the deep call of his heart and is surrounded by love...also officially at this moment he becomes a real human, a real hero,

    Simple plot, a lonely driver fell in love with a neighbor, but unfortunately because of her husband fell into a gang killing, revenge for his story! The Nordic director, I heard that it was still Feng Tier’s queen editor, and he was really affected by it. The film was filled with a cold air. Even the best time was just a change in light. Generally speaking, the drama The work is average, but the director has a strong personal style

    The sky of the city, the night catches up with the day. Electronic music and upgraded shots resemble the reappearance of New Hollywood, with the dark core turned to romanticized lyrical expression. Before the second master scraped his bones and healed his injuries, afterwards, there was a high commander crying blood. Alternative noir films, I have to admit that the small and fresh temperament of the commander and Mu Mei contributed a lot to making the film stand out in the mediocre work, and won the appreciation of Cannes.
