OKAY EXPLAIN TO ME WHY THE FUCK DOES EVERYONE HATE THIS MOVIE

muh symbolism

>>79432294
It's boring. I really wanted to like it but there was zero emotion to latch onto. Gosling's character should've been more expressive and conflicted with the events taking place, instead he was just a robot along with the rest of the cast, going through the motions. There were a lot of good elements in this movie but they just didn't work.

I actually enjoyed it but its really slow

Nah he's right to some degree, it's down to the changing of the script/working on the go that went on during shooting. Can't blame him too much when the director himself seemed constricted on where he wanted the character to end up emotionally and physically by the end of the film. The second guessing and moral insecurity of Refn was mirrored a little by Gosling and rubbed off on him I assume Neon Demon and OGF are better than Drive though in my opinion, Fear x as well although I'd need to re watch.

Wanna fight?

>>79432422
yeesh, embarrassing

Pretty much everyone only knew Refn from Drive and was surprised when this was less a poppy confection and more akin to Valhalla Rising. It's not Drive 2, Goose isnt a real human bean and hero, and who even is this old asian dude lol.

It's a much better film.

I only like a film if the romantic or female lead is attractive to me

>>79436173
>Le long shots so it must be le good

It's really not. Vastly inferior to both Drive and Valhalla Rising, which are probably Refn's best films.

>>79436244
>long shots

What? Shots from afar? You're doing great.

>>79436244

How exactly is it vastly superior to Drive? Valhalla Rising I'll admit is sightly better, but Drive is nowhere near as good as them. Even Neon Demon is better than Drive.

>>79436310
Because Drive was really popular and its just an epic revenge story

>>79436293
You know what it means, stop being a condescending nitpicker.

>How exactly is it vastly superior to Drive?

That's the opposite of what the post said.

>>79432294
It's too art housey

>>79432422
I think what happened is there are a lot of long scenes where literally nothing happens. Also the fact that Gosling makes one single change of mood when he's with the asian bitch doesn't help at all, I mean he didn't even flinch when he was touching his moms womb.

I guess it's condescending but i'm sorry, if "boring" and "long shots" is what you got out of the film, i'm not sure you have the cinematic IQ or experience to "get" it quite yet. I really feel Drive is so beloved because it's so accessible and follows (albeit with Refn's interesting spin) a classic heros journey. OGF asks a little more. It's also a genre film, but told through a unique perspective, the eyes of a dead thug's ineffectual brother as he is pushed into some imagine familial obligation of avenging his brother's death at the urging of his domineering mother. We experience his dread and foreboding at his inevitable fate, that he portends, which is rendered eerily, icily, palpable throughout, the "long shots" I guess, it's an effective directorial choice. He watches himself in shock walking to slaughter over something in which he's actually in the wrong.

not going to read your wall of run-on sentences there, sorry.

>>79432294
No coherent narrative, no emotion on display, not even sure whats going on, boring color and music

>>79437030
>No coherent narrative
this
in drive he tells you who he is and what he does and stuff and you root for him to get the girl and beat the bad guys and stuff, in OgF its like, who are these people and whats even happening, why do i care

>>79436154
Martinez is the man

>>79437141
Drive is even more autistic its annoying.

OGF>>>>>>>>>>> Drive

Drive 3/10
OGF 6/10

Post your top 10

>>79439435
I don't have a le top 10. Maybe if you pick a genre.

Only God was a jumbled mess. Plus it was boring as fuck

Possession
La Jetee
Solaris (2002)
Children of Men
The Fountain
Fellowship of the Ring
2001
Barry Lyndon

>>79432294
the surrealism killed it
Like, I love the film, but the surrealism in the first act could've been done a lot better and turned people off
And the film was sold as a violent thriller, despite being a slow surreal mystery

REMINDER THAT PUSHER 2 IS REFN'S BEST FILM

>>79432361

this basically. we thought we were going to get a straight forward plot like drive, but instead we get nicholas going full wynd refn.

>>79439786
>Solaris (2002)
wew

>>79441865
Fight me lad. It's kino [\spoiler]

>>79441543
nah

>>79432294
drive: memes
ogf: pleb filter

drive is highly stylized but believable, this is completely unrealistic in every way. and no one wants to look at close ups up flips speaking in tagalog in a western movie.

>>79432294
I like both

OGF is visually stunning. Every shot is gorgeous, but on a narrative level it fails. There are some interesting dynamics between characters and some really great scenes, and of course it succeeds in cultivating a mood. But at the end of the day, the story just isn't all that it could be. I still enjoyed it, but it is what it is.

Just because something is inaccessible, doesn't mean it's a masterpiece.

>>79432294
it was shit

>>79432294
I liked it. The aesthetics are appealing to me.

So the asian old man is god?
