Drive 2011
Drive 2011 is an action thriller movie. Ryan Gosling plays the mysterious Driver, a quiet stuntman and a driver who gets caught up in a dangerous heist gone wrong. He barely speaks, but his presence is intense, His eyes are always cautious. The background music gives off the 80’s. This movie feels like unspoken emotion and loneliness. The scenes go from quiet to sudden violence. One of the most unexpected and insane scenes is in the elevator where the driver shares a romantic kiss with Irene, then immediately turns around and crushes a man’s skull.

Strangers on a Train 1951

Bicycle Thieves 1948
Bicycle Thieves, directed by Vittorio De Sica, is an Italian film about a poor man, Antonio, who searches for his stolen bicycle with his young son, Bruno. This movie mostly uses long shots to capture the physical distance between the characters after their argument. And we see the gap getting closer as they fix their relationship. The film uses natural lighting, long takes, and deep focus to create a raw and emotional feel. Bicycle Theives beautifully portrays the desperation and struggles of a man in post world war time, to feed his family and survive.
