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...
