The story of the scorpion and the frog, a scorpion is trying to cross a river and asks a frog if he can ride across on his back. While the frog is thinking about his answer the scorpion assures him that he will not sting him so the frog agrees. As the two are in the middle of the river the scorpion stings the frog putting them both in trouble. The frog asks the scorpion why? The scorpion responds it is my nature. “ Your boy Nino didn’t make it across the river.”
Flat out one of the greatest movies of the 2010's. Gosling's character is a great inversion of the hero trope. He's basically a homicidal sociopath, but he's thrust into a situation where he is compelled to be a "hero" because of his emotional connection to Irene and her son. The irony of the scene where he kills Nino with the mask on is that his character is "mask off" there. Great subversive art film.
Yall ain't even peep when he stump dog in the elevator the scorpion on his jacket was moving that boy was activated I love this movie soundtrack was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The elevator scene is one of my favorite scenes of all time. I think he's kissing her goodbye because she is about to see the real him. And she won't want to be with what he really is. A fucking monster. He is a monster. Love it.
Y'all need to watch Nicolas Winding Refn's ''Pusher'' trilogy (especially ''Pusher II'', with Mads Mikkelsen, who has actually a supporting role in the first movie), ''Bronson'' (with Tom Hardy), ''Valhalla Rising'' (again with Mads Mikkelsen) and ''Only God Forgives'' (also with Ryan Gosling). Talkin' 'bout Ryan Gosling, y'all need to watch ''Half Nelson'', ''Lars and the Real Girl'' and especially in the underrated and imo the masterpiece ''The Place Beyond the Pines''. P.E.ace from overseas, The Netherlands.
Oh shit, forgot about ''The Nice Guys'' with Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe, directed by Shane Black (who wrote the scripts for ''Lethal Weapon'', ''The Monster Squad'', ''The Last Boy Scout'', ''Last Action Hero'', ''The Long Kiss Goodnight'', and wrote and directed ''Kiss Kiss Bang Bang'').
I have a theory and I don’t mean to be disrespectful but I think Ryan Gosling character might be autistic hence why he is not very social and he is always silent. Plus he is good at driving and other violent things lol
In the original novel it's clearer, that yes he is. As someone on spectrum, there are a lot of markers here - violence aside(a little..), but the routine rules quietness social interaction protecting what's important.. It /strongly/ resonates.
"Watch Ryan Gosling being a mute while driving a car" doesn't sound great at first glance but Nicolas Winding Refn makes it compelling, it's an insanely well-shot movie and the soundtrack really carries it as well. And then I guess Denis Villeneuve watched this and was like "I want to make another movie where Ryan Gosling barely speaks and stares at people moodily" and we got Blade Runner 2049. I guess Ryan Gosling is just good at being a weirdo silent cool guy.
It's fucking incredible to me that people your age are discovering Ryan Gosling because of Barbie. Did you know that this actor has 3 Oscar nominations, and six Golden Globe nominations (and won one for La La Land). Can you go see The nice Guys, Crazy Stupid Love, Half Nelson, Blade Runner, Blue Valentine... and surrender to the wonderful actor in front of you and you don't know how to appreciate? Even in Barbie he stole the movie
@@FriendRequestReviews please react to the nice guys. It is a dark comedy and I can assure you that you will cry from laughter with the character that Ryan plays. If someone thought he was funny in Barbie, it's because they haven't seen The Nice Guys or Crazy Stupid Love. This guy is talented as hell and in the same year he can give you Drive and Crazy Stupid Love, which speaks to his versatility as an actor
this is my all time fave movie. you have to be into more noir style directors who make the decision to, for instance, cut the constant yapping and random chatter, and instead allow those silences be expressed through emotions we can project ourselves onto.. they are meant to be points of immersion into the characters and i think its quite beautiful. Gosling himself asked for this specific director b/c of that feeling he wanted to create in the movie. i think it's a movie best watched alone to truly "feel it".. b/c the silences to feel awkward when with someone like you almost feel like you have fill in with words.. but thats just not how its meant to be watched. if you watched it alone, you wouldn't have anyone to make comments to and instead sit with it quietly and feel the movie more. but thats just my opinion. Also, i hate the whole alpha male concept, but most people consider this character to be the epitome of what it means to be Sigma. someone strong, empathetic, competent, humble, and willing to do the right thing even if it means losing a woman he loves. fun facts: since you mentioned the scorpion jacket. the entire movie and his jacket, the scorpion, is an allegory to the old story of "the scorpion and the frog'.. where a scorpion begs and pleads and promises a frog he wont sting him if he does him the favor of crossing him across the river.. just for the scorpion to sting him half way and claiming "it's just in his nature".. the entire movie Gosling is the Frog carrying dangerous scorpions, as shown by his jacket. he even brings it up after Ninos death on the phone with Bernie, where he says "You know the story about the scorpion and the frog? Your friend Nino didn't make it across the river.." another interesting trivia, Ninos death is the only death shown from a distance b.c they had to change filiming due to an accident Perlman had when they first began shooting the scene. a huge wave hits him, and he breaks his knee on a rock.. so they weren't able to take any more footage of them closeup afterwards. the scene shown in the movie is the same footage where he broke his knee b/c they only managed to take the one footage.
Seen this at the movies alone, and the theatre was very quiet from people being speechless lol! I gave it a standing ovation in the end lmao! Of course I was stared at but idc, I was holding my breath in some parts and the soundtrack is AMAZING! Another masterpiece by Ryan. Have you guys seen Blue Valentine?
Great movie, I've always assumed Ryan's character personality was a defense mechanism to keep people from getting close...obviously has a checkered past, plus Bryan Cranston mentioning that he just wandered in his shop some years ago, indicating he wasn't from the area at least that's how I perceived it🤷♂️
This movie is the second half in this series of the two a place beyond the pines was supposed to be the first half Ryan gosling's character in this one is supposed to be what happens to the son of his character in a place beyond the pines or at least that's how it makes sense if you see both of them
The song at 39:40 was made for a 70s Italian movie called Goodbye Uncle Tom (though it also goes by other names). It is... it's some other shit. It's a pseudo-documentary about a group of Italian filmmakers who inexplicably time travel to the south in the US during slavery to document it all. It's just fucking insane, really. The director of Drive saw the movie and decided to use the song. If you're ever in the mood for a shocking midnight movie, well, you won't soon forget it is all I can say. You can find it here on UA-cam but the quality is shit, not that it really matters that much.
As good as this film is, and I am about to drop an unpopular opinion on you, I think his next film with the same director, Only God Forgives, is even better. But that's definitely a hot take I'll stand by.
I think you guys would really like the movie Shot Caller (2017). Here's the synopsis from iMDB: "A newly released prisoner is forced by the leaders of his gang to orchestrate a major crime with a brutal rival gang on the streets of Southern California."
The movie is not an easy first watch. You expect it to be like a traditional movie. A lot is being said non-verbally by lightning, framing, facial expressions, soundtrack, etc.. It can be a bit much at times 😅
Yall ain't even peep when he stump dog in the elevator the scorpion on his jacket was moving that boy was activated I love this movie soundtrack was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I get your feeling about the first part of the movie being a slow burn and no real action, but in order for the action that comes later to mean anything you needed to know that the Driver had a stake in helping Standard. You needed to know he cared for that family and wanted it all to be resolved without anyone getting hurt or killed. Without that back story it wouldn't mean anything to the viewer.
The original 1978 movie "The Driver" starring Ryan O Neal is the coolest movie ever made according to Quentin Tarantino. It also has the greatest car chase scene of all time.
Carey Mulligan was great in a movie called Promising Young Woman (2020), which is kind of a dark thriller, revenge movie directed by Emerald Fennell who also directed Barbie and Saltburn. I very highly recommend it.
I can see how the adhd generation might find this boring. I feel for their loss... This is a masterpiece. Another film that shows Gosling in a crazy role is 'Only God Forgives'....worth checking out.
The jacket is important. When he has it on, he is the scorpion. It's masking and his armour - let's him more easily function socially. If you're not on the spectrum it's "hard to explain" .. I can't word it well, but I get it. A lot. Y'all know 'comfort blanket' ? This is that squared.
This movie is adapted from the novel "Drive." It follows the novel very closely. If you're wandering if the Driver survives, there's a sequel to the novel.
Still wild that some woman tried to sue the makers of this movie because they expected it to be a Fast And The Furious type movie. How can you even be mad when this is one of the best movies of that era?
"Drive" is a great companion movie to the 1970's crime-drama "The Driver" directed by Walter Hill ("The Warriors," "48 Hours") and stars Ryan O'Neil, Bruce Dern, Isabelle Adjani and Ronee Blakley. You can't like "Drive" and not LOVE "The Driver." It's a terrific crime-drama.
What I love in this movie was how quiet and still they potrayed Gosling's char that at the very end your just staring at his char, not wanting to blink yourself cuz you cant tell if he's dead! Lmao 😆👍💯🔥
I have only watched this movie once. I did not dislike it. I just found it boring. That is just my opinion. If you enjoyed this movie my opinion should not take away from your enjoyment, because that is your opinion. People can feel differently about something.
@@FriendRequestReviewsforgive me, but he ain't boring. There's a lot to pick up on, but I get why some wouldn't notice it. Some things you gotta live to recognise..

This whole movie is a mood.
The inverted colors on the gruesome parts is a nice touch of editing and way around the youtube rules
🙏🏾
My favourite film of the 2010s. Masterpiece from top to bottom.
The opening scene alone is just incredible.
I love that the game commentary he's listening to matches what is going on in police chase

I think Refn may have confirmed this at some point, unless I'm misremembering.
In the original novel it's clearer, that yes he is.

Albert Brooks (the main villain) also did some iconic non-recurring Simpsons characters.
Good soundtrack and the neon city imagery help make this film as iconic as it is. Stylish.

I prefer off beat Ryan from Remember the Titans lol jk jk
The great amount of silence makes the brutal violence so much more powerful.
Danish director Nicholas Winding Refn is a true mastermind.

This movie's director is good friends with Hideo Kojima for some reason. I mean they both make bangers so why not
That's random AF but I love Hideo Metal gear is top 3 game series of all times

UNC is a legend, man.
Everything he’s requested is pure banger 😎
Much Appreciated! More Bangers coming soon!
Oh shit here we go
Guys can u react to The Usual Suspects from 1995 😊
A goodie
This is like.. a depressing version of Baby Driver even though this movie came out first.
Y’all are on fire with these reactions
"Bernie Rose" is played by actor Albert Brooks he has been in over 30 movies. His brother Bob is better known as "Super Dave Osborne".
I think you guys would really like the movie Shot Caller (2017).
Here's the synopsis from iMDB: "A newly released prisoner is forced by the leaders of his gang to orchestrate a major crime with a brutal rival gang on the streets of Southern California."
Another banger 🎉it’s not for everyone though - it’s a vibe
You would shit yourself with my recomendations
We have fresh pair of undies on, try us
Another banger!!!This is in my top 15 all-time.
The music and the score of this film are both perfect.
It’s funny how you thought he was just a chill, boring guy.
lol for a little while there, he was
Sick soundtrack
Real human bean
Formal's Jason Statham is so bad that it's a decent Peter Stormare.
lmfao, it was really bad, I had to check myself lol
"He better tap into his inner Ken!" I can't 😂😂😂

'Beyond the Pines' is almost a tragic sequel to this film tbh...
