Drive

Last month, actually November 2011, I went in Bangkok, Thailand to the movie 'Drive' from Nicolas Winding Refn. The story goes as followed:

'A young man,  Ryan Gosling starring as 'the Driver', is an excellent Hollywood stunt performer and works as a mechanic in a garage. He's a man of few words and lives next to 'Irene' a married lady who's husband is in jail, and her sun (every movie has a number 1 lady which in this case is Carrey Mulligan). 
His boss, Bryan Cransto, sets up a deal with the local mob, who's supporting both with some cash for a race. When the husband comes home from jail, he ends up beaten by the local mob, because he owns them money for protection in jail. Our 'Driver' has a dark side, he figures as 'run-a-way-driver' for robberies, and comes up with the idea to help the husband. This ends badly (I'm not going to say everything, you better watch it yourself).' (Check Trailer)





Their are a couple of reasons why I like the movie so much:
  1. First of all its a dark/romantic/action/thriller movie
  2. Second the song 'Under your spell from Desire' and 'A real hero from College ft Electric Youth'
  3. Third the double meaning of the Golden Scorpion on the back of our Drivers jacket:
    Ryan Gosling has this amazing kitchy white jacket with a golden scorpion on the back, I believe  this has a double meaning in the movie: (1) A Golden Scorpion is a rare and special, you don't find them so much so in other words our Driver is a unique person, (2) they live in sollitairy, just like our Driver, (3) they are very dangerous, and when they feel threatened, they attack dangerously and deadly (in my opion not wiki's)
