MOVIES OF 2011: MY No.1 IS "DRIVE"

Movies Of 2011

How many have you seen?

My 1 is
"Drive"

 

From start to finish I was unable to guess what direction the story was going, which sadly doesn’t occur very often. It’s unpredictability made this the freshest most original film I’ve seen this year. specially soundtrack was super matched in this film.

A quick synopsis of the film goes as follows.. Ryan Gosling plays a stunt driver who gets paid to basically to be the "getaway" driver for people who are robbing, doing other illegal activties, etc. He meets and falls for a married woman with a son whose husband is currently incarcerated, he forms a bond with the woman as well as with her son. Everything is everything until the father returns from prison and Ryan gets caught up in trying to help him repay a debt that he owed to some mobsters. Again, I say that Ryan did an awesome job. I just loved the overrall portrayal of his character - like I didn't know how to correctly perceive him. In some ways I found myself connecting with his character, and I understood why he reacted this way, or made that particular decision. I'm not a spoiler so I won't go any further about the details of the film, all I will say is that I totally recommend this flick for any and everyone. And if you've never been a fan of Ryan Gosling before, I guarantee that you will be now. Also let me add that the score on here was awesome as well.. 

the music just went so well with the scenes. I really dug it. I'm going to have to look into getting the soundtrack. Sometimes all I wanna do is just drive.. let the music play and just DRIVE...

Check it!

    

JACKSON POLLOCK

Jackson Pollock

Abstract Expressionist Movement

"My painting does not come from the easel" 

Paul Jackson Pollock (January 28, 1912 – August 11, 1956), known as Jackson Pollock, was an influential American painter and a major figure in the abstract expressionist movement. He was well known for his uniquely defined style of drip painting.

During his lifetime, Pollock enjoyed considerable fame and notoriety. He was regarded as a mostly reclusive artist. He had a volatile personality, and struggled with alcoholism for most of his life. In 1945, he married the artist Lee Krasner, who became an important influence on his career and on his legacy.

Pollock died at the age of 44 in an alcohol-related car accident. In December 1956, the year of his death, he was given a memorial retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, and a larger more comprehensive exhibition there in 1967. More recently, in 1998 and 1999, his work was honored with large-scale retrospective exhibitions at MoMA and at The Tate in London.

"My painting does not come from the easel. I prefer to tack the unstretched canvas to the hard wall or the floor. I need the resistance of a hard surface. On the floor I am more at ease. I feel nearer, more part of the painting, since this way I can walk around it, work from the four sides and literally be in the painting.

"I continue to get further away from the usual painter's tools such as easel, palette, brushes, etc. I prefer sticks, trowels, knives and dripping fluid paint or a heavy impasto with sand, broken glass or other foreign matter added.

"When I am in my painting, I'm not aware of what I'm doing. It is only after a sort of 'get acquainted' period that I see what I have been about. I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well.
