This thread AGAIN! No, it was Gosling doing a shitty Steve McQueen impersonation which made him look autistic not cool. Driver in the book talked. Gosling cut lines like McQueen always did. But McQueen had a major speech impediment where if he said a
lot at once it’d sound like garbled nonsense. So he learned to use body language. He’d look cool instead standing there like a blank moron
Seemed more like he was going for McQueen with extreme PTSD. Gosling does a lot of different roles, if he chose to make Driverman look glazed-over most of the time, it was on purpose. Up to you if that was a good idea.
No, because i’ve seen other actors try to copy McQueen’s style with same results. Look at Costner in The Bodyguard. His character also accused being autistic. The movie was originally written for McQueen and Diana Ross. Costner apes McQueen so much he even got McQueen’s signature haircut
I would've agreed if he didn't do only god forgives and blade runner and I realise drive performance was a fluke. Gosling is better when hes playing himself like in place beyond the pines, half nelson. He can't pull of cool silent type.
>He did though.
Then why isn't he a leading man? Why most of his films flop. Kyle Urban is the master of silent badass teaming with rage. Gosling just comes across as autistic in his silent protagonist roles.
I'm sorry but boomercore acting with monotone one liners is far away from gosling's driver. He's not being stoic and tough in Refn's movie. He's actually showing through the cracks he's really kind and soft, which is one of the important literally me aspects, but Cinemaphile is not ready yet for that conversation
Did you even watch the movie?
There's even a scene where standard comes back and they throw a huge party and driver sadly repairs a broken engine in his dark apartment.
If you think Gosling purposely played the part where people would be questioning if his character was autistic, you’re a moron. Or autistic himself that desperately needs to believe this. Don’t got that gay from Big Bag to hero up on?
More like socioopathy. The Driver has a penchant for violence who doesn't seem to have any remorse for it beyond how it affects how the chick he wants to bang perceives it.
He is cold and emotionless unless he's talking to a nice piece of ass. Which makes him good at crime and attractive to women, but these worlds can't mix.
Definitely the type of thing you could only get away with if you're attractive.
Otherwise it's, "Ew. This creepy incel is really quiet. He's probably a school shooter."
Read the book. Extremely different. Driver actually communicates. Neighbor isn’t even a subplot. Like two pages. She some ugly Mexican who Driver didn’t like but felt bad for husband and did the pawn shop job gone bad with
>dude this masterpiece film is different from a diamond dozen crime novel so it bad
I will never understand what sort of autism that causes people not to understand, and even be offended by, the concept of adaptation
Best McQueen impression so far is the guy that played him in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. And that’s because the actor didn’t even attempt to do a impersonation.
I love it when complex psychological characters get turned into action heroes for the sequels. Driver can now stand alongside Paul Kersey (Death Wish) and the Blind Man (Don't Breathe)
First book was also a action movie type. Script bounced around for years. It was almost a Sylvester Stallone movie. Refn is the one turned it into a art house project
yup. it's decent. It's kinda short but Blanche ends up being more important than we thought initially. The whole premise starts from the Driver starting a new life in Phoenix but his wife gets killed so he slowly reverts back to his shady ways
I'm autistic and he's literally me, so it was
i didn't watch this for the first 2 years it was released because imdb had this poster and i thought it was daniel craig and never bothered to check
are you me?
same bro i thought it looked like some chick flick yet it ended up being the most kino piece of art of the 2010s
he always looked like daniel craig to me from the thumbnail in that poster
shut up satan
When I first saw the movie, I thought his thick accent was affected. Goose just talks like that.

Case avid point

Coster did a great job though. I went into the movie knowing the McQueen history and realized from the opening he was pulling it off great.
I found him more cold than cool. His character almost a total butthole because Costner tried make him so stoic.
I would've agreed if he didn't do only god forgives and blade runner and I realise drive performance was a fluke. Gosling is better when hes playing himself like in place beyond the pines, half nelson. He can't pull of cool silent type.
>he can't pull it off
He did though. A mongoloid like you not liking it has no bearing on that. You are nothing
>He did though.
Then why isn't he a leading man? Why most of his films flop. Kyle Urban is the master of silent badass teaming with rage. Gosling just comes across as autistic in his silent protagonist roles.

Did we watch the same movie?
Did you even watch the movie?

This movie is so fricking good, why even make movies after such kino.
Not just Steve McQueen, but also protags from kinos like Samourai (1967) & The Driver (1978)
>Writer is a hack and can't write dialogues so he goes for the silent protag route
>"omg he's literally me!!!!1"
It wasn’t the writer. Gosling purposely took dialogue out for as mentioned above
What kind of shirt is that?
I believe a Henley or something close to it; I've been searching as well anon
Yeah, it's just a henley of some fabric. Henley refers to the neckline more than anything.

OH MY LOOOVE
tell me about driver, why does he wear the mask
>was it autism?
seemed like it. I never really understood this movie.
>be cuck
> die without trying to save yourself

It's left on a cliffhanfer. Also, how was he supposed to save himself? Go to a hospital and say he fell on a knife?
Best McQueen impression so far is the guy that played him in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. And that’s because the actor didn’t even attempt to do a impersonation.
More about a guy which was very controlling
the first scene where he stated his rules dictate the rythm of the movie
The book that Drive is based on has a sequel. Has anyone here read it?
Yes. It’s ok. Pure action movie material. Driver I think get married if I remember.
Then I'll read it.
I love it when complex psychological characters get turned into action heroes for the sequels. Driver can now stand alongside Paul Kersey (Death Wish) and the Blind Man (Don't Breathe)
First book was also a action movie type. Script bounced around for years. It was almost a Sylvester Stallone movie. Refn is the one turned it into a art house project
Correction, it was almost a Hugh Jackman action movie
I might need to read the book. I like slow burn dramas, but I like bombastic action movies more.
It’s a fast easy summer read for sure
yup. it's decent. It's kinda short but Blanche ends up being more important than we thought initially. The whole premise starts from the Driver starting a new life in Phoenix but his wife gets killed so he slowly reverts back to his shady ways
>his wife gets killed
Into the trash it goes, writers can't come up with conflict with kill the wife or kidnapping kids. Just bring and lame.
Today, you learned even books can be bad
>I want the deluxe one
>stares at "I drive" man
jesus, thats cruel
Watching a israelite get brutalized was pretty satisfying ngl senpai
Has being the driver for the past 12 years worked out well for you guys?
Score any single moms yet?
>ITT; IS THE MC A MONKEY?!?!?
>tfw the driver is literally me
