Re: Awesome cinematography
Fuuuuuuuuck, the first week Only God Forgives was in the cinemas in mah city, I was ill; next week I was too busy. Next week? Nope, not anymore. FFS. And now I need to wait for a Bluray. I mean really, even the trailer looks amazeballs.
Re: Awesome cinematography
trailer looks like a hotline miami movie. (i know, i know about hotline miami was influenced by drive connection..)
Re: Awesome cinematography
Ryan Gosling is an interesting actor i think, very subtle and elegant acting in bad-boy-with-a-twist roles. Then again, maybe I'm just empathising with shy ppl put in a spotlight -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHd2yTXL_V4 . Nasty buisness that showbiz...

He always gets shit for 'having one facial expression' only they dont see how he excellently says 'fear' with only his face: http://i.imgur.com/d8XrtKQ.jpg (only the picture doesn't give him justice).

Someone has a crush

I think he has many expressions but i'll give they are subtle. He always has certain weariness in his expression (sad eyes?) so it gives him some sort of "i've got mileage" look. Even when he smiles, it's kind of a sad smile.

Spyder23 you can add me to the Ryan fan club
How can you not find the guy attractive I mean come on!!!!
Another of his films well worth a watch is Blue Valentine, him and Michelle Williams are brilliant together
Re: Awesome cinematography
Yes i love him and want to marry him.
*awkward silence*
No Homo
*ahhh ok then*
No wonder you are a girl and he is assumingly your type and you feel attracted to him.
Sure also as a guy i can admit that he is handsome and all and i wish i would look like him but still you know, there are no feelings involved for a crush or obsession and what not. Unless you consider being a fan already a crush.
Re: Awesome cinematography
I first discovered him on a tv series called 'Breaker High', where he played a scrawny guy wanting to score dates or something...and now most of the roles I see him in seem weird.
In any case, I watched 'Drive' with my wife last night...and the cinematography was really great...enhanced a lot by the unique soundtrack and the very artful storytelling. It was brilliant that so much story could be told with so little dialogue. Facial dynamics or not, it wasn't the strength of his words that made the role so powerful.
Gotta love when folks take full advantage of the visual aspect of the medium.

Re: Awesome cinematography
I also watched Breaker High! I enjoyed it as a kid, now I wouldn't probably survive one episode.
If you like the silent treatment of Drive, check out Only God Forgives (some pics are in a post above), it's even more visually stunning, although Refn sometimes goes waaay overboard on the violence and... 'artfullness'.
Re: Awesome cinematography
I thought the violence in Drive was a bit over the top...my wife definitely didn't appreciate it either...so if Only God Forgives is more violent, I may hesitate to watch...not that I've got much time for movies these days anyhow.

Re: Awesome cinematography
There is especially one scene (this one shot is from the beginning of that scene: http://i.imgur.com/CMmVpil.jpg ) that is really gruesome and even made me squirm, soooo...
