10 Movies You Need To Watch Twice To Completely Understand

4. Drive

Anyone anticipating something like Fast and Furious will walk out disappointed, as there were apparently a few of them. While it has brief but exciting driving action sequences, the bulk of the film is built on quiet tension and bubbling intensity. And that€™s where it€™s gained its passionate fanbase to become one of the most talked about films of the decade so far. Ryan Gosling stars as a driver for hire who forms a bond with a neighbouring woman, played by Carey Mulligan, and her young son. Her husband, played by rising star Oscar Isaac, soon returns from jail and despite being revealed to be a genuinely kind person, he still has a financial burden to settle with violent consequences. The Driver agrees to help him to put it rest but instead it spirals out of control. The film is a real slow burn and when you take a step back from it, the plot seems very thin, especially for how long it takes to get to the meat of the story. Instead, it€™s a film that relishes in the atmosphere of the moment, as it has extraordinary slick cinematography and a rousing smooth soundtrack that sticks in your head for months. Drive also has one of the most unusual endings in recent film history. Meshing its climax with the buildup scene from just before, it€™s intriguingly anticlimactic in a way that leaves you half in disbelief. It€™s interesting the first time, but hits you the second time with how profound it is.
