Best opening credits scene in movie history
Drive, unexpectedly, is my favourite movie. It is the only movie that I think is completely perfect.
But this opening sequence is just something else. The backdrop of LA lit up at night with the bright pink font and Kavinsky's Nightcall playing, and Ryan driving the streets, all wrapped up by a great cinematographers eye, is just perfection.
I also think that not only should it have been nominated for the Oscar of Best Acheivement in Editing, but also cinematography. Each scene is just stunning and carefully constructed, with the placing of the actors, mixture of light and dark.... And although the violence of the film and the cars are a commonly masculine theme, I love that there is a softness, an almost femininity to the overall film.
I just love this movie so much and just love talking about it. so if this movie had a big impact on anyone else, I would love to hear your thoughts!
