I drive

>>84686373
Drive was released in 2011.

Edgar Wright wrote Baby Driver as a college student aged 20, in 1994.

He directed a music video in the early 2000's that's inspired by his idea for the film.

So I can guarantee you it's not a copy.

>>84686526
Whenever he claims he "wrote" the film doesn't matter, the fact is that it's a safe, Hollywood version of a movie that was released earlier than this one was. Should be sued for plagiarism

>>84686612
The film had less in common with Drive than it did with a typical heist movie. You're fucking retarded, just kill yourself.

>>84686612
Outside of the fact that the main character drives a getaway vehicle. What else do you do think it ripped off?

Kys faggot

Your refn meme flick itself is a rip off of michael mann's thief

>>84686689
This.

>>84686612
I already said though, he directed a music video based on the film.

Mint Royale - Blue Song

It's about a music loving getaway driver, who drives around robbers.

>>84686373
He says "I'm a driver."

It's literally nothing like Drive apart from the fact the dude is a getaway driver. It's more similar to something like Kingsmen or Guardians of the Galaxy in tone.

>>84686756

DURR ANON THEY PUT DRIVE IN THE FILM TITLE IT MUST BE A RIP OFF

>>84686799
>It's more similar to something like Kingsmen or Guardians of the Galaxy in tone.
So it's pure and utter shit? Refn wins again.

>>84686689
Tell me which movie I'm describing

>young, possibly autistic getaway driver who doesn't talk much
>only drives
>wears a cool jacket
>movie has heavy emphasis on its unique soundtrack and stylish visuals
>meets a girl who he somewhat opens up to
>girl leads to him fucking shit up

>>84686373
nope, Drive fanboys please get over yourself.

>bothering to see a 20-year-old behind the wheel, that seasoned, hardened criminals seemingly trust with their money and their lives

Hello, millennial. The lead in this so-called "film" (a dishonest one, at that) is completely devoid of anything resembling "character". As you also possess none, allow me to explain.

Character is what's developed over a multitude of years, whether it be from working a shift at an abattoir and having some gruesomely-hilarious stories to tell your coworkers and/or friends, to being a getaway driver who's honed one's craft ALSO over a multitude of years, and probably has some hilarious stories to tell as well. You know - the stories one acquires from having actually lived life, as opposed to primping one's self in an upper-class cocoon one calls "home" and remaining blemish-free for the majority of one's entire 20 years.

Character, anon, that usually manifests itself in lines across one's face - notably the forehead, around the mouth and around one's eyes. Lines that, should another person see them, they would automatically associate those lines with "I bet that person has some stories to tell." In this case, "Baby" has NO stories to tell. He has NO character. He has NO experience, NO interesting facial features and NO charisma. He is Gumby behind a steering wheel. One's immersion is ruined before one even decides to brave such a film, and one is left immeasurably-disappointed by the experience.

Unless of course, one is a millennial who has no idea about what "character" is.

THAT, anon, is what I'm talking about. Character. Do YOU have any?

>>only drives
I'm going to say baby driver because the guy in drive did a lot more than drive. Maybe you should watch these movie before you start spouting bullshit.

>>84686929
So did Baby, let me rephrase

>intends only to drive, eventually is forced to shoot people and shit because he fucked shit up

>>84686867
You post on 4chan. In addition to likely being a millennial yourself, you are swimming in a kind of safe space that keeps you from developing what you call character. Get off your high horse

Oh, I'm sorry, that's so completely different and doesn't invoke Drive at all

Just face it, only difference between this and Drive is that this had a stupid hollywood ending where you can shoot a guy in front of your five minute girlfriend and she's totally cool with it. And you get away with life-sentence tier crimes because you "had a good heart"

>>84686975
What part in driver where The driver secretly records people? When did the Driver pay off his debt? What scene did driver get arrested?

>>84687183
Some elements that are new doesn't discredit the many elements that are exactly the same. Face it, it's a ripoff and you've run out of arguments.

Hi guys, this is Edgar Wright.

I just wanted to mention that Baby Driver is definitely inspired by Drive, but really, it has a lot of inspiration from Walter Hill's The Driver, which is kind of like Jean-Pierre Melville's Lee Samourai, which, in turn, were both actually chiefly influenced by the 1942 film This Gun For Hire.

Thanks for watching the movie! I obviously have a of respect for Refn and co. I actually sat between Ansel Elgort and Ryan Gosling at the London premiere of Baby Driver. Ryan loved it.

>>84687155
Okay, enjoy your life.

More elements are new that that you claim to be borrowed. The borrowed one are just tropes that already exist before Drive. You think a getaway driver falling in love and getting into trouble is a new never done before plot.

>>84687288
Care to prove you're Edgar Wright somehow?

Is that just what redditors say when they're unequivocally proven wrong about something?

>>84687346
Nope, the entire role, personality, and even appearance of the protagonist were stolen directly from Drive. There are similar films but not this similar. I have never seen two more similar films in my life

>>84687421
>Nope, the entire role, personality, and even appearance of the protagonist were stolen directly from Drive.

I'm pretty sure you never seen any of these movies if you think that.

>>84686850
The girl in Baby Driver had absolutely nothing to do with the plot, other than that she kept getting caught up in his bullshit. In Drive, the female and her son are yes, literally the driving force of the plot, Drive Autist is very capable without her and she drags him into shit. In BD, his life caught up with him and he dragged her down with him.

What is your problem this isn't funny just get a life

>Edgar Wright wrote Baby Driver as a college student aged 20, in 1994.
Ho boy, not much left in the tank if he has to resort to reworking his old juvenilia. What next, A Fistful of Fingers Part Deux?

>>84687455
>>84687467
>>84687527
Considering that I'm just getting insults and non-arguments now I rest my case, Baby Driver is objectively a hollywoodified version of the superior Drive.

>>84687288
This is how Wright would think, as if Le Samourai bore any resemblance to This Gun For Hire. Melville was also influenced by The Asphalt Jungle more than any other film, but his work is sui generis in its style and tone. But Wright wouldn't know that, because he's TVTropes: The Person. Good work, anon.

Are you saying that there's anything but a direct, absolute lineage from This Gun For Hire to Le Samourai?

>>84687740
It's sad because I love Drive obviously, the movies are both great and it's so stupid to even post this shit but I'm pretty sure this sad fuck is just baiting for attention anyway so great thread everyone, let's go home.

>>84686756
Refn says that his inspiration was just a guy driving who listens to pop music to drown out the world. Literally what Baby does.

>>84687824
>people who disagree with are autistic and have no life!!!!!1

Kind of ironic considering what movies you "love" so much

*ahem*

>>84686526
Doesn't change the fact that Drive got made first and this one is riding on its coattails.

>>84687823
Yes, of course. You think it's direct because you only watched This Gun For Hire after Le Samourai on a reference-hunting tip, but Melville's uses of all his models and referents is incredibly eccentric and distinct, it makes no sense at all to say that This Gun For Hire directly leads to Le Samourai. It leads there via the mind of a genius. It would be like saying that Le Doulos was "chiefly influenced by City Streets".

>>84688454
But The Driver didn't have the music gimmick Baby Driver is aping from Drive.

>>84688951
What are you talking about? It was on tv all the time in the 80s/90s, which is still the only place I've watched it.

>>84689004
He doesn't even listen to music in Drive, the only time the music is inside the movie is when it's coming out of the chicks party.

>>84686127
He's great at directing, shooting, and editing, but he's not such a good writer.

>>84687646
Face it. You've been blown the fuck out.

It was a 7/10 and normies overhyped it. It's not a rip off of drive but it had a bunch of flaws and the music syncing up with everything got old fast

I wanted to see the movie when I saw the theatrical trailer because it gave off a serious tone but the TV trailer made it seem like a comedy and turned me off. What is it?
