Drive

This movie was fascinatingly similar to the famous Robert De Niro film we just finished, Taxi Driver. Something that immediately jumped out to me was the mannerisms of Robert Dinero and Ryan Gosling. Both seem very simple and other than there care for an in particular girl, seem relatively emotionless. Ryan Gosling and Robert De Niro are able to keep there emotions in check, which allows them to do unfathomable things such as take out groups of dangerous and armed men. Along with there absence of emotion, both characters naturally work for the good of others. They are very unselfish and seem to only understand the good in life and eliminate the bad. They act without thinking and leave the viewer questioning how or why they did something. As Mr. Bauks brought up in class, someone such as Ryan Gosling, needs a completely clear mind to do something as nerve wracking as driving with all of the danger that surrounds him. The same goes for De Niro. As the cops enter the apartment to find him all bloody with dead bodies everywhere, he is so calm and simply closes his eyes. Some believe they have PTSD or a mental deficiency. Either way, these to characters' similarities are impeccable.
