The Movie Incels Love Most

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 มิ.ย. 2022
- Drive (2011) directed by Nicolas Winding Refn is the absolute pinnacle of Male Manipulator Movies/"Sigma Cinema", similar to other films of its kind like American Psycho, Scott Pilgirm v the World, The Wolf of Wall Street, Joker, and Taxi Driver. Ryan Gosling's performance in the movie had even the most well adjusted people saying "he's literally me". While this is a good movie though, I believe that the "film bro" communities of reddit and letterboxd are responsible for a lot of the film's praise and popularity. Is Ryan (driver) a real human being? That's up to you. Shoutout to kavinsky - night call what a goated song. This has got to be one of the best ryan gosling movies. ryan gosling's drive is a good movie. man do i love drive (2011) directed by nicolas winding refn starring ryan gosling.

Hey wyd down here?
Thanks for watching :) - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Drive is a poignant tale of a flawed man doing something out of love, being a hero in a world of sharks. It's really good and struck cord with me. Not because he's literally me, but because if a man so in deep with shit can choose to do the right thing then so can i.
I like this interpretation a lot
i agree one of my favorite movies of all time
damn, that a really good take.
"Drive (2011) is a movie about a man living a dark life, stuck in a dark situation and still choose to take the righteous path to escape it"
Its way better then what the memes did.
Literally me
This right here is why I like Drive.
Drive is literally my favorite movie. Yes, I’ve never had sex but at least I own a scorpion jacket.

He is talking about the people who have started worshiping this movie and Patrick Bateman unironically. believe it or not, but i have actually seen these kind of people. and they can be very irritating and lame the way they worship these stuff, by missing the entire point of it. like the patrick bateman fans for e.g. same people worshiping him, doesn't even realize that the character's entire point is that he is supposed to be a unlikeable irredeemable loser, criticizing the kind of people who are unironically wants to he like him. even Christian Bale himself believes that
I once saw a post by a guy who wrote on 4chan that he adapted the personality of the "driver" after seeing the movie. So he literally walked around the world with the same jacket and a toothpick in his mouth and acted as "quiet and mysterious" as the main character of the movie. At some point he found a girlfriend and started sweating when she suggested watching the movie "driver".
So did you eventually watch the movie with her?
It's kinda ironic since like a lot of the driver's tics and actions reflect a lot of movies and action heroes. Ryan Gosling said in an interview that he thought the character was raised on 90s action films and wanted to be like the heroes in those films. So this is like multiple layers of copycat shit going on
@@cabnbeeschurgr6440There’s definitely a bit of Cobra, the Stallone character, in Driver.
You read a greentext and thought it was a true story? Jesus Christ lol
If you aren't naturally like him then you just come across fake and lame, people always asked why I never talked in school but I was never thought of as creepy because I'm good looking, I had that personality far before I ever saw this movie and I've been with girls as well, the only people who are actually like the driver are naturally quiet people who are at least decent looking or at least not trying to be something they're not, just out of the normal.
When Ron Perlman cried “what are you going to do to me?” and Ryan gosling (me) responded with “Drive (2011)” before epically killing him was literally me 🔥
And then the camera cut to matt smith who was in the car & gosling switched on the radio which led to ‘off the meds’ by ekse play. Piss was falling down my eyes and tears were rolling down my legs. Truly a moment.

He's not being hailed as relatable because he's socially awkward or super organised. It's because he's lonely and craves connection at the same time, that's all.
My favorite part of this masterpiece is when he screams "IT'S DRIVING TIME!" before proceeding to drive the living soul out of Ron Perlman.
he didn't say that

This dude literally told a mother of a child he is half responsible for the death of her husband and like a minute later forces himself on her in the elevator and they kiss for at least half a minute. This scene was written by skinwalkers and you cannot convince me otherwise.
@@masonskiekonto590 says the guy with a Freemason pfp 😂 bet you get plenty of chicks, probably little boys though. The point of the kiss was a distraction and the death was caused by the husband because the “driver” didn’t know anyone in the crew outside of the husband and was looking out for him so he could settle the debt. Plus she had feelings for him and obviously didn’t pull away until he bashed some guys skull in.

Driver is basically an angel in human clothes. He becomes the best at whatever you want him to be. Stockcars, getaway cars, mechanic, boyfriend, hot model, or angel of vengeance. He can't be killed. He comes back, time and again. He is driven. He drives.
A real human bean 🫘
Sounds like the horror movie The Wraith where a guy comes back from the dead with his sports car to avenge his death
And literally me
I watched this movie today and I can say with 100% certainity that he drives
Drive is great, not because driver is relatable, Drive is great because of the score, cinematography, story and brutality. I loved this movie from day one because of the reasons listed, and also the stellar performances, not because of meme culture.
I was one of those epeople that was like ehhhh driving.. lame.. as a girl I got noninterest ..butbi actually sat and watched and it's one of thr greatest movies made no cap.
Every department did an amazing job and to think this is the directors like only movie. Damn.
But it is relatable. Trying to-do the right thing after being drowned in so much wrong and for someone else is very Nobel.
And it's not simp or incel at all.. cause those two groups and nice guys are selfish and disgusting. Driver trying to do thebright thing to keep the one he fell in love safe.. and the only way to do it is to take out the scorpions onnhis back.
Also the soundtrack jfc. So good
@@npcimknot958 Wending refn had made many other movies with a rather silent protagonist in it before drive. But yeah i mostly agree, though the scorpion represents the story about the scorpion and the frog, the frog gives the scorpion a chance to cross the river but the scorpion still stings him, just like the driver stings the mafia guys. The Driver also hurts his loved ones by accident, just like the scorpion. The movie is just really clever all around.
You are literally me
well said
Same
I like the film, it’s not an action film with explosions left right and center, it’s simple and the driver speaks when necessary, the characters are easy to like and its really good with cinematography.
Also his jacket is really cool.
the jacket fucks hard

Nah he’s still me
I think another big part of the popularity doesn't just come from meme and filmbro culture, but just what it has inspired, I watched this movie only because Hotline Miami, one of my favorite games, was based on it, and it quickly became of my favorite movies, but I've also noticed that it has inspired more movies like Baby Driver and it kind of kick-started the revival of the Outrun aesthetic.
Drive pretty much kick started all the NewRetro movement along with Far Cry 3 : Blood Dragon, Hotline Miami, etc. Hell, now we got Stranger Things Season 4.
I remember at the start of the 10's like 2011 to 2014 retro bars would pop out, outrun shirts being sold at Urban Outfitters, more 80s style games and movies coming out, etc...
its full of metaphors that people dont get lol. its about a man who thinks hes in a movie

Basically the offspring of the fembots who coined the term torture prn after watching the hostel sequel.. who ended up looking absolutely stupid after a bunch of articles debunked and stmpd on all their points and then it came out that they didn't even watch the original lmao which made them look even worse. Year's and Year's go by and for some odd reason that term caught on and everyone forgot the laughable origin story.
Just love's movie's and doesn't care what people think>losers who judge people for liking certain movies
(Yes my comment is hypocritical but they deserve this)
It’s one of the best and maybe only well done examples of cyberpunk that grapples with how the genre became often purely aesthetic and lost the themes of how alienating life is a high tech dystopia by choosing to set it in the modern day.

@@HunterMagunterbut I’m literally him???
@@gilglamesh ok incel
you let the memes dissuade you. This movie had a cult following even before the memes. It's just great. That's why it inspired the memes. Memes say what you can't say yourself by using a good performance which is so good that you can put your own emotions and circumstances over it. The strength of the memes can be not only a test of the relatability but also the emotional value of the movie.
Also, Driver wasn't only socially awkward. To me it always seemed like the movie was missing a flashback -- like Nicolas Winding Refn decided to cut the flashback where we see Driver's horrendous OD etc. where he got the brain damage which left him practically a mute, or something of the sort. It's also essentially taking the classic trope of the strong silent hero and putting him in the modern world where you either seem like a total psychopath or an absolute shy guy and Gosling does both here.
to me he seemed autistic or just super stoic and quiet ive got a friend like that doesnt say much
@@siegfriedgottz698 I am the friend who doesn't say much
I thought they did the pauses between his sentences to emphasis tht he was calculated and reserved. Not necessarily a psychopath though but tht elevator scene gave me chillls.
Look at the opening scene. He thinks before he acts at every turn. It's all planned out in his head, the watch is the biggest evidence of tht.
@@Cherry-pu4mx yea just seems methodical and calculated youd have to be in that line of work cool headed and calm
@@Cherry-pu4mx ya he's not a psychopath. Driver is very emotional but he has like 0 ability to properly communicate. Emotionally stunted if you will.
In the story Drive is based on the driver had no name either. The character shift from from almost standing still to brutal violence was was perfect. You’re right, he’s very much in control of everything he can be, and when he opens up (as much as he can) to the woman next door that’s when he loses control. He’s a protector at his core. Still
One of my fave JSF movies. Right after Everything is Illuminated.
And that's almost a hint maybe what happened to driver in the past. His silence was by choice

bro missed the joke
I saw Ryan Gosling at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

Agree. It was aesthetics
It's called Synthwave....
I'm a huge fan of Drive, it's one of my favorite movies. It's just so good imo and one of my favorite games ever, Hotline Miami, is based on it. In fact i like the movie so much that i own the jacket of the Driver irl as a kind of collector's piece, looks great.

You might wanna get a dictionary and look up the word "bait".
@@ShFred wait, what message? All i got was that he liked the movie but disliked the pacing
"Basically when i read the script for drive, in trying to figure out who would do something like this the only way to make sense of this is that this is a guy whos seen too many movies and hes started to confuse his life for a film. he's lost in the mythology of Hollywood and he's become the amalgamation of all the characters that he admires" - Ryan Gosling. Its like when we go way over the speed limit, we for a moment, dont really think about reality and how you only have 1 life and that its incredibly, unnecessarily dangerous. Then we realize and slow back down. He doesnt slow down, that line between imagination and reality isnt there anymore. That explanation makes it soooooo much more interesting to me
Gosling has actually said that when he was a child he would often confuse reality with movies. He once saw Rambo and then went to school with a knife for example. I kind of believe this is what has made him a great actor, he's ability to blur the lines between reality and fiction. So it's very interesting he saw at Driver the same way, Driver is like a lonesome and silent cowboy from movies, hence the tooth pick, that was a Hollywood mythology I instanly caught.
Only if you're a shitty driver like yourself who doesn't understand driving dynamics.
You see, this is how you can tell I'm not an incel, because my favourite movie is Taxi Driver.
You been on 4chan too much and missed the irony of saying gosling is "literally me".
It's pretty much The Driver (1978) mixed with Taxi Driver. But I love both those movies so I also love Drive. The cult following really begun in 2011, at first due to it's soundtrack which is what started the Synthwave scene. Then later because the quiet socially awkward character is 'literally me'.
Well, that was 5 minutes and 27 seconds of my life wasted. Give it back

The title is an insult to the underlying message of the film.
Thanks for the great editing, especially the attention to detail! I'm genuinely surprised that incels like the movie so much. My take is that "Driver" was closed-off and quiet by choice, it honestly just felt like he gave zero f*cks about anything except cars, until Irene came along. However, it never felt like he hated society or anything like that, or blamed anyone for his circumstances. Those characteristics seem very different from an incel-like mentality imo.
fs! not saying driver is an incel, i’m saying the film bro community has memed the movie to hell and idolized him as a “relatable character” which confuses me
@@3_smh_3 bro. if you actually watched the video you’d see i gave the film a 4/5 stars which is pretty fucken high. i’m not shitting on the film, and i barely shit on the fan base. it’s all in good fun considering i’m literally one of the people who rates it so highly. the title and jokes in the video are all satirical and meant for nothing but laughs. next time, actually WATCH the video before typing like a whole ass facebook mom in my comments
Incels love the Driver because his stoicism kinda reminds them of their autism. And that’s not a stretch, really, (or an insult because that’s literally what they say too) since the Driver in the book is heavily implied to be autistic to some degree and his attitude upon first meeting Standard is kinda like that, too. Plus his whole not caring about anything besides cars attitude that you mentioned is another factor.
@@colletiquette Kinda agree with you though I feel as though incel is an overused buzzword now, but maybe its coz most people I know who go “hes literally me” are basically more doomers and not incels. Though thinking of it now, I can see theres some crossover with the two sometimes.
@@Tomoko_Kuroki888 well I see the incel group like th3 nice guy group- and they really don't get the character. Nice guys suck. They do nothing for others only to get in someone's pants.

Isn’t this why your here?
Drive is so gripping. The slow tension is this dreadful sinking feeling , where you know something bad is going to happen. It looks great, it’s minimalistic, the driver is so badass and noir like. He’s admirable but not necessarily likable. He finds love and a reason to live outside of himself becoming his tragic catalyst. It’s a perfect tragedy and extremely stylish.
Whereas Baby Driver is bouncy, colorful and way too wordy. I don’t think it is nearly as good . It doesn’t feel like the real world the way drive does. Even though it’s a dark movie too thematically the feeling is so much cheesier and way less memorable.
baby driver just felt...meh? idk coulndt get it behind maybe it was the soundtrack like none of the songs resonated with me lol
Loved both movies tbh, they're great in their own ways
You watch Drive because you like Ryan Gosling
I watch Drive because I like myself
We are the same
Looks to me like the word "Incel" evolved from a new term for basement-dweller to become some kind of omnipresent, metaphysical, hive-mind boogeyman that changes it's definition according to what's required in the moment. It's actually kinda funny when you think about it

Watched this movie when I was a kid and thought that's literally me but now that I'm older and rewatched it recently, I don't have anything in common with this character other than being socially awkward, I just love it as a movie. I think some of these "literally me" characters share characteristics of what it's like being a young guy nowadays and that's great but people take it too far when the characters from movies become their entire personalities.
Yeah most of the “literally me” characters are either emotionally stunted (driver) or straight up psychopathic (Patric Bateman).
I think it’s just kids going through that weird phase in puberty where you don’t really have that strong of an identity yet, so they gravitate towards someone that they either think they should be like, or someone they identify with.
It's a very angry guy in his 20's identification movie

There are multiple ways to interpret this.
Real btw
The first review I've watched that doesn't even mention how impactful the soundtrack is-- not just in within the confines of the movies but also how synthwave became a thing after this movie.
yessir I didn't have anything productive to say about it that hasn't been said before
I disagree, Baby driver is way more goofy, a criminal kid dancing in his car while doing a robbery waiting for his mates, if anything the driver seems more menacing, more professional.
I’m literally him
It isn't "Drive" that is alone with this "literally me" thing. People, humans, you know, you and me, all watch movies, media, tik tok, read books, comics, look at art, look at life, almost anything, and consciously sympathize or relate to what is being shown. That is what Art is, its a personal interpretation of what is being viewed. Sure, there are some people who may take it extreme but that is with LITERALLY everything. Perhaps some people just want to desperately embody something they idealize because they are afraid of being themselves or being judged akin to a child growing up into a man, afraid to be judged by peers and so they choose an extreme approach in the hope to either get validation or instigate reaction in those around them, to be who they are, or figure out who they are.
I mean its the STORY that is life, we all have dragons, we all want to slay those dragons, and although I am not literally a man who is as strong and beautiful as Ryan Gosling, I have my own dragons to slay, and so do you, and these dragons may not be mafia gangsters or extreme abstractions of what is considered evil, but rather things that continue to pose threats and create fear in our lives and so we must make effort to conquer them and slay the "dragons" if you will. To be judgmental of an imaginary group of people, which I can only guess as from personal experience is an effort for you yourself to further cement who you think you are, by judging what you say you are not, and then create a title called "The Movie Incels Love Most" is a great way to stir the pot and lure in the flies, as you have lured me into your pretty mediocre review of a timeless gem. A greater conversation can most certainly be achieved and the dialogue about how we as individual conscious beings consistently try to figure out or create our own story, and fight our own dragons is quite magical and important.

MacArther Park is one of the densest parts of the city and I feel the movie really gave it an honest look. The good and the bad.
you are the happy man. millions of us could only dream to live places like that. we drive at night on the other side of the world, listen to kavinsky nightcall or after dark and feel like we are driving in LA where he did 🌆🌆
you should've mentioned how walter white is also a character that people idolize when they're not meant to, seeing as how bryan cranston happens to be in this movie :P
oh shit that’s a good point
i thought it was because walter w. tried to make as much money as possible for his family before he died of cancer?
Thats completely bs, just because a character is bad it doesnt mean they arent written to be likeable. Idk why people think its one or the other
@@chickenandksivideoreviewer9739 i'm not saying that he isn't written to be likeable (bryan cranston was specifically chosen for that reason) but some people defend him during literally everything and say he's badass when near the end of the show you aren't supposed to root for him anymore (which dean norris said in an interview). you can like him and also acknowledge that he did really bad stuff rather than seeing him as some sort of role model lol
@@Benjamslikestrains I think it's a given that hes a bad person and not someone to be idolised, but i completely disregard the notion that you arent supposed to root for him. The audience is smart enough (for the most part) to distinguish these two things, that's what makes the show so compelling
The word most people misuse.
Letterboxd has had some influence in the recent popularity of Drive but if anything it has motivated more people to say phrases like “overrated”, “Incel movie”, “Filmbro movie” and “good but not the greatest movie of all time” instead of somehow setting it up as some widely appreciated masterpiece
he’s literally me
People use those words to keep bashing men fro their likes.
@@albertobarrera6791 you're partially correct and partially incorrect at the same time. How interesting.
@@albertobarrera6791 I mean maybe sometimes? But other times people associate themselves with characters like are concerning like Patrick Bateman or Lou Bloom.
@@albertobarrera6791 No shit, woke people don't want entertainment that is more made for men. That's why everything has forced "strong" female characters now
I am an incel?
I think it's so simple that's sweet, what I love about the movie is the Scorpion metaphor, if you search for it, scorpions can mean "calm but ready to kill"/"treason"/"transformation", and the Driver just represents it.
He starts as a very good guy, a genuinely light hearted man, who fell in love with his neighbor and likes cars, but showings that he isn't all right because he steal cars, but still a good guy. And after her husband comes back we see he slowly showing the Scorpion he is, getting more and more brutal, until in the end, he just go back as being the good guy, not chasing her back to garante her safety.
I thought the scorpion jacket was a reference to the story of the of the scorpion and the frog where the scorpion stings the frog carrying him across the pond and the frog says why did you do that now we're both going to drown and the scorpion says that's my nature.
Friendly fire will not be tolerated
The driver is literally me except i don't have a car and i ride public transport.
This guy definitely has one of the opinions of all time.
Driver = a dude who drives
Me = a dude who drives
If we substitute out for “a dude who drives” we get,
Driver = -a dude who drives- me
Therefore, driver is literally me
There’s something inside me 🎶 It’s hard to explain 🎵
Incels may love it, but you don't have to be one to love this masterpiece of a film
exactly
finally a person who uses their brain in the comments
Dawg this film had absolutely nothing to do with memes for years
yes but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been memed to shit now
He is a great stoic character, quiet yet very capable.
I loved this movie. I think the way Ryan Gosling acts in the film is extremely relatable to a lot of young men. Some are (or were) like him, others want to be like him.
When he’s in the freaky mask, he’s totally me.
