Baby Driver (2017) | Music Full of Action.
Hi Dear Steemians today i wanna talk about Baby Driver.
Baby Driver (2017) is a film that unites two genres, successfully mixes the genre of Action and the Musical, after several movies of car chase that we have seen in recent years, Baby Driver comes to refresh both geners in a different way. Once that the first scene is over, you can ask if you are watching a movie or a musical?
Baby starring Ansel Elgorth is a young driver who is responsible for carrying out the escapes of a band of thieves led by Doc (Kevin Spacey), Baby suffers from tinnitus a condition that cancels hearing music. This resource is used in history to immerse the viewer in the soundtrack in a different way than usual, the audience hears in the same way as the protagonist and can identify with the actions and gestures that this performs. Edgar Wright makes spectacular use of direction in the chase montages and manages to fit the music into each frame.
The cast
Notable cast Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx and Jon Hamm which make their characters have a way of being particular and interesting, managing to overshadow an Ansel Elgorth and this is due or that the character of Baby is very quiet the only contact that he makes with the audience of his emotions is through music. The female characters in the film Lily James, Eliza Gonzalez are not very developed and come to play the role of triggering motivation in the other actors.
Strengths
It manages to refresh the action of pursuit of cars for both montage and music and gives the musical genre a less invasive way of giving the viewer its message and music. Getting to fit the songs with the action seen on stage or make these songs feel less forced to show something that in most cases the films by visual means can do.
Weaknesses
Not everything can be positive, the interaction between the protagonist and his girlfriend is not very detailed and does not develop enough, this requires the viewer to infer that more things have happened but most likely not in this case, it feels like a forced relationship. It is understandable that the direction or script sought a film that points more towards the action leaving aside this narrative, you can also mention the ending that in a certain way is not bad, but it probably did not agree with the rhythm of the film.
Baby Driver is a film totally recommended to see if you like the action genre, vehicle chase, like the scenes achieved the video editing and / or enjoy the good music, Baby Driver brings all this together. It is a film that earns its recognition by itself being one of the highlights of this year.
