Drive My Car

SO BORING. Literally nothing interesting happens in this movie. Maybe I’m not cool enough to understand but I didn’t like it

filme do japonês corno. três horas dele passeando de carro e levando gaia

Dont understand what there saying different language

지루하다 고추처럼

What an incredible film, amazing cinematography, something truly unique, so beautiful and calm, I can't believe what wonders I experienced in such a memorable first act, I will never forget how graceful Oto embraces her own desires, and specially how she made me feel, I'm in love

“My hardships might even be greater than yours but I don't give in to despair.”

Without a doubt the most inconsistent movie I’ve ever watched, the score, cinematography and acting were incredible, but the first 2 acts are so fucking boring, as Drive My Car delivers with a visual feast and a stunning soundtrack, yet has such slow character moments that it’s borderline ling GET ON WITH IT.

1st Act 6.6/10 (On one hand he’s grieving, on the other it’s pissing me off.)

2nd Act 6/10 (I DONE WANT TO WATCH THIS THEATRE PLEASE GO BACK TO DRIVING.)

3rd Act 9.8/10 (The last 50 minutes are actually really fucking good, it’s just a shame it’s trapped behind 2 HOURS OF FUCKING FILLER.)

Plot 5/10 (Uninteresting main plot of the theatre show and a very interesting side plot which is only barely utilised near the end.)

Soundtrack/Score 9.4/10 (Genuinely amazing, it made some eh scenes so much better.)

Acting 9.4/10 (Acting is phenomenal, just wished the script was better at times.)

Pacing 3/10 (Felt like it was slow-burning the way the Sun slow burns my fucking back.)

Cinematography 9.6/10 (An absolute feast that has the best use of colour I’ve seen since La La Land, if Your Name. ever got a live action remake, this is the colour I want.)

Character Development 9.4/10 (Both frustrating and amazing, the whole first act he just pissed me off, the last act I felt genuinely so fucking bad, not because of character development in the redemption way, but the realise kind.)

Writing 9.3/10 (The script is amazing at times, sometimes it’s just meh.)

Ending 9.5/10 (Makes the movie so much more worth it, will I still revisit? Not for a long long time.)

Direction 8/10 (Decent but he’s like Asian Bela Tarr, just without the grey sadness.)

Overall
95/120
7.5/10
