I still remember going to the movie theater to watch this and being blown away. Everything from the lighting to the music were really well done. I became a huge Ryan Gosling fan because of this film.
"Drive" is one of my favorite movies. Such a deep character study. It just sticks with me after so many years. Also, had one of the best soundtracks for a movie. "Collateral" is another good one. It's kind of crazy how similar our tastes our in things.
It's funny how the role that has the least dialogue lines, is the one that pushes Ryan Gosling's acting to the max. It's really remarkable how he managed to express so much by saying so little, it goes to show what a incredible actor he is.
11:50 He is the flog he literally carry the scorpion on his back, but that is the beauty of the movie it works if he is either the frog or the scorpion. He is the driver he carry criminals from point a to point b, he is the frog, the criminals are the scorpions and by the end he drown in their world with them. This movie is so good on many levels :)
Great review man love the aesthetics of this film and the lonely vibe it gives off something about that feeling can be so intoxicating but dangerous to chase bc who really wants to be lonely
Definitely one of my favorite films; the way it was shot and the use of color. I still listen to the soundtrack regularly. I wish it would stay on streaming services consistently so I might just have to go buy the dvd
That was an interesting mix-up from the norm, i thought it was interesting, would very much like to see more And yeah i can relate to The Driver as a loner myself, i get him
I remember this movie got a lot of flack when it came out. People were expecting a racing movie and instead got this. I enjoyed it and what i love about the movie is the soundtrack, cinematography and storyline. It’s starting to get cult following but i feel like in the next decade it will pick up a lot. I can see people enjoying this movie in 2031 in a futuristic home with the amazing soundtrack playing in the background.
I really hate that content other than berserk recieves low visits on your channel dude, and Im gonna watch this movie so then i will come back and watch your video
Now that I watched fight club, taxi driver and drive I have to say that, putting aside fight club, Taxi Driver seems to me like the definitive sigma movie in terms of representation of loneliness and all that sigma stuff
You know that one car scene from Heat in which the detective is chasing the bank robber to interrogate him? Having just watched this movie (because of this video). I feel that Drive is the feeling and mood of that one short scene extended into a full-lenght feature film. I loved it.
You should do a review on the original Old Boy ( Korean Version ) . That movie is a mind f$@% and I'dlike to hear your opinion. None of my friends are into the crazy movies and anime I'm into lol
I remember going to the theatres to see a different movie but it was sold out and the only other available movie at the time being Drive. Definitely a pleasant surprise ! the elevator scene really comes out of nowhere how violent it was LOL.
This movie is a modern day urban western. The Driver character draws influence from the man with no name from the Good the Bad and the Ugly. Drive is a western.
Loved that movie. I somehow always connect to some extent to Refn's movies, although I am not sure whether the biggest part is played by the style or the substance.
you could make the 'simple' argument or conceit that style equals substance or leads to it and is substance. but that's up to you really and how you wanna reason it. Aesthetics is a part of philosophy and metaphysics so there's that.
@@rakhoo5236 to be fair its usually good to strive to be that way if you’re more introverted. Big respect to anyone who can actually commit and get things done.
epic movie, just epic (hate how everyone likes and knows of Baby Driver movie, but few know of this epic movie, sighs) not much to say about it, as I'm sure everything is already covered and known, can't really add anything to the content/response to this movie, lol (film-makers, if they ever see this movie, really appreciate/amazed-at a lot of the film work/style/techniques in how the story is told and shown and all of this type of stuff)
Would Shame 2011 by Steve McQueen count as sigma male or more likely, not? And that film Shame has Irene's actor (Carey Mulligan) Also, Nicolas Winding Refn is based Danish (like my first name which is just Dane, but I'm not actually Danish but I like danish cookies and pastry) arthouse/art film male and he was in Kojima's Death Stranding for character model or/and voice maybe. Arthouse films need more exposure like von Trier's House That Built Jack, His trilogy of Nymphomaniac, Antichrist, and Melancholia (not in that order) or the Europa series by Trier. Run Lola Run would be an interesting hour and a half movie to review. I like the sci-fi time concept and emotions and visual stylistic flourishes/touches used to convey the main female character's confusion, spiraling, slight despair and the manic energy the film has and her dilemma of trying to save her boyfriend/lover but she needs money and time. Then, time or fate if you like, has other plans and is like nope denied, you must do it differently or morally, Lola Insightful and good review of great arty film, RealSchnozRyan! Edit: I also think The Card Counter (2021) could be a potential candidate for sigma males films. Oscar Isaac is there as the protagonist too so there's that bonus and is based ofc. It would be great to hear your thoughts on his character and his choices and view on redemption and revenge since that's what this film is but slightly more complex. It kind of wears its themes and messages on the theme but I think it was a good choice on the director or writer's part The Mechanic/Machinist with Christian Bale is good arty, psychological horror film that has twists, but I don't think it qualifies as sigma male film. Edit 2: Gosling is akin to a based autistic or adhd, hyperactive neuro-diverse stoic loner man loner wolf archetype. Idk if that's true to/in life for him but it's really that kind of energy and vibe he exudes and exerts when he acts in most of the films he stars in or produces. His characters are stoic yet pained and lonely or ambitious and soft-spoken and strong and brave at times. Edit 3: Into the Wild 2007 by Sean Penn based on the book and tragic story of one male's trek into the wilderness and cold might be good on your list to sometime see and review and analyze. Maybe that fits into sigma male category even if in real life, despite the single fact it ended tragically or was ill-fated journey for Emile Hirsch's (even if he's a real life delinquent or questionable person in addition to being an actor. he's good or underrated as actor) character that he plays and its story is based off of true events which makes it even more eerie and painful and personal and somewhat artful. American Made, Collateral, Killer Joe, Donnie Darko, NIGHTCRAWLER (with the artful and charismatic uniquely, Jake Gylenhaal from Donnie Darko. His character in there is obsessive, socially inept or asocial or even antisocial and detail-oriented and demanding and dictatorial at his filmmaking role and job looking at and reviewing gory, sordid and dark brutal acts of human darkness and corruption) are brutal gory, violent and action films, but maybe not necessarily sigma grind-set or category worthy. Edit 4: The Grey, HEAT (same director as Collateral), Trance (2013/2014), BONE TOMAHAWK (underrated, underappreciated/ under-the-radar black comedy horror psychological drama film and director), The Fighter 2010 (this is pretty brutal and introspective and less focused on the fights but you do see some, it's personal too because actor Mickey Rourke kind of felt like this with his career and because he is/was a fighter or wrestler or boxer), PI, and The Fountain all by Darren Aronofsky, Severance (more comedy and satire though than the next one) and Triangle by another director an english one, Jacob's Ladder which partly inspired the game Silent Hill, The Descent (first one not the awful second one) by Neil Marshall, DEADMAN SHOES (tragic horror 'slasher' which is a term I use loosely, drama Brit film. you might cry or become cynical after watching this film. it's ****** brutal and needs to be talked about more. holy f****), Pulse/Kairo (the based OG Kairo and is also Japanese version, not the crap american remake which is just called pulse or the pulse; it might make you feel alienated or even somewhat nostalgic), Vivarium with Jess Eisenberg, etc. **Note: Just watch the reviews and analysis of horror and drama thriller films by yotuuber Ryan Hollinger who I sometimes watch to discover these films in the first place.
Bro I was on this movie and using the word sigma before it even became a meme. Now I don’t feel like a sigma because EVERYONE says they’re a sigma now lol.
@@RealLifeRyan it could mean like you said but also Mean fiercely independent pretty much self indulgent. I’m glad I went through that phase early in life because it’s honestly a selfish lifestyle.
I like the video, but I think you misinterpreted the driver's jacket. The scorpion is on his back, making him the frog. This makes sense, given that he's the driver and is eventually sucked into the criminal world due to the nature of others.

Blade Runner that a crowd goes down the dick and I love is almost all spoken with the body with gestures.
There ain’t no shit like a sigma. If you have to label yourself you’ve already lost. Not saying you in specific, you in the plural sense.
Millennial learns the term "sigma male" (2022 colorized)
should have put circa before 2022. would have had that nice unnecessary touch lols.

Never seen this movie, but your video and the endless sigma male memes from it has inspired me to go out and watch it.
I hate how I can only hear “real human BEAN!” when that song plays.
here for the algorithm but I don't wanna get spoiled
Great review man love the aesthetics of this film and the lonely vibe it gives off something about that feeling can be so intoxicating but dangerous to chase bc who really wants to be lonely
Definitely one of my favorite films; the way it was shot and the use of color. I still listen to the soundtrack regularly. I wish it would stay on streaming services consistently so I might just have to go buy the dvd
the music from it is used in some commercial now on tv, but I can't recall what the company/product of the commercial was, argh...
We definitely would like to see more movie reviews from you, bro! Take care
That was an interesting mix-up from the norm, i thought it was interesting, would very much like to see more
And yeah i can relate to The Driver as a loner myself, i get him
I can't believe this movie is 11 years old.
Omg he's literally me
That's literally me
He just like me, he's just like you and he's just like all of us. There's always a sigma waiting to come out.

Hey Ryan well done! keep doing these movie reviews, you are doing a great Job and You point of view and explanation are very good.

Always enjoy your movie reviews Ryan and would totally like to see more 🎃
Everything aside I genuinely enjoy watching this movie, it looks cool the soundtrack is nice and it’s Ryan Gosling
Oh hey it's K from Bladerunner 2049.
It’s so cool you did a video about me. Thank you
And you have proved to be
A real human being and a real hero
This movie is a modern day urban western. The Driver character draws influence from the man with no name from the Good the Bad and the Ugly. Drive is a western.
I drive
i loved the movie and the books driver is literally me
nice video, I see the mask as symbolism for his hero persona,
Definitely going to have to watch this now, I love these sort of films
Loved that movie.

Truly is an underrated movie. Ryan Gosling is my man crush too. I'd sacrifice my virginity to the God hand to look like him.
Whimp
Holy shit i didnt know this movie was obscure, I just assumed it did well cause of how good it is.
Yeah it's seen as a hit in the cult fandom spaces of cinema and art. It's arty and arthouse and introspective, after all.
I wouldn’t take the whole sigma thing too seriously but yeah i would say you seem to fit that archetype pretty well

Btw did you know that The Goose™️ had a band called Dead Man's Bones? Check it out it's pretty good
That movie is really good.
The opening chase scene is the best ever done in a movie because it's the most realistic with respect to it actually working in real life

Not many dudes use the word sigma to Describe themselves as what type of male they are. Most of them will call themselves a alpha, or nothing.
@@TOrganic perhaps
I like the video, but I think you misinterpreted the driver's jacket. The scorpion is on his back, making him the frog. This makes sense, given that he's the driver and is eventually sucked into the criminal world due to the nature of others.
Hes just like me fr
Is RLR a signa? He do be streaming with produce a lot. Also he has a cat... hmmm
🙀
I want to watch this online but i cant find it anywhere for free in 1080p lol
I think I roll advantage every time I hear Nightcall 🤤
Drive one of my favorite movies
I know the Sigma thing is a joke anyway, but I don't think I'd classify Taxi Driver as Sigma
Top 5 fav movie of mine
lol. Standard isn't a good guy or father. He's full of shit.
He thought Irene was 19 yo when she was 17. He didn't have the guts to tell her that she and Benicio were in danger. I could ramble some more but I don't have the energy
and a real hero
Any good beta movies you would recommend?
Watch The Place Beyond the Pines with Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper
Great movie loved the review.
Thank you! 🙏
Wasn't a big fan of the movie when it came out. The pacing was to slow. Really like the movie reviews!
It shows that being Sigma is being pathetic, the protagonist didn't leave happy alone.
Hotline Miami movie version
Great movie.
Loved this movie, if you get a chance to check out it's spiritual sequel, Only God Forgives I'd love to get someone else's opinion on it.
Better than nightcrawler?
"Sigma male" is primarily a meme.
Everyone on the internet is a sigma ig.
Peak kino
real
That’s just like me fr
The movie could have been better, but the action flopped a little and Ryan Goslings acting is lame.
Sigmas keep grinding!
This movie makes me feel like a predator waiting for his prey prepared to strike at every moment 😎
