Totally willing to show this. But I absolutely hate this film🤷🏽 unpopular opinion🤷🏽

Wuuuuuuutttt?!?!

Why hue hate?

Share it through! That's 1 for for drive And 2i think for paprika on the original post

Paprika was very interesting!

I just don't buy the silence of the main character. Which is like... The whole thing about the movie🤷🏽 I understand he's a quiet strong type, but like that first date would've never worked saying literally 2 words during irl🤷🏽 Just pulls me out of it quick. Like that scene in pulp fiction with they talk about awkward vs comfortable silence? You don't have to talk when you're comfortable with each other... BUT THEY MET LIKE 5 MINS AGO But again I get that, that's just me 🤷🏽 I can see why it's good. I just don't buy it.

I get where you're coming from. But, I've been on dates with women who are as equally quiet as me. There is a distinct type of chemistry that comes from people who share that quality. A rare type of comfort.

I feel that. But I also bet you say more than. "Hey." "Get in." Then "see you round" during the whole date🤷🏽

That's true. We still gotta get to know each other. But... it's just a movie. It ain't meant to be realistic.

True. Still bothers me 🤷🏽

Yea, I get it. It’s a small leap of faith. It’s also part of the strong silent type motif of noir cinema so I eat it up.

Yeah be l but even the most hardboiled noir string silent types had dialogue 🤷🏽 and even more so they had inner monologues so we knew how they felt about the world🤷🏽 I feel like Drive was a movie made because of the trope of Ryan Gosling 🤷🏽 Ryan Gosling himself even said for a long time up until they movie he felt like his roles were often "a robot shell of a man experiencing feelings through others reactions to him" and I think Nicholas Wendigo Refn was like... Actually.... Yeah.... Let's make you do nothing a whole movie and see if people sit through it.

Paul Chain’s ‘Fast One’ (the novel that solidified the hardboiled genre) Is extremely terse. Also I view this flick in the pulp/comic book realm of reality which makes it more reasonable.

That's an interesting angle. Comics. But still for film. It just irks me. Every 5 minutes in that movie I can't help but scream AND THEN WHAT

Lol I can’t suspend disbelief long enough to get thru more than 5 mins of most fantasy (esp LOTR) so I get it.

Lol I literally typed the opposite just now

🤣 just saw dat

Great minds think exactly the same but totally different 🤣🤣🤣 Appreciate you donk

Ok which one am i

🧐 not sure yet

Helll yes! I've got a few for paprika. So it might be that. But I'll see if I can push nostalgia over the next couple days
