It was pretentious nonsense in 2011 and it is still pretentious nonsense in 2024.

It's like the least pretentious artsy film and is the closest Hollywood has come to making kino in a long time. The cinematography is great (for hollywood), the characters memorable and overall an enjoyable watch. It doesnt try hard to do anything in particular, and the color palette is a nice change from the usual blue & yellow

Whiplash was more indie than hollywood though, if it didnt succeed at sundance it would have never really gotten off the ground. It was even initially given a limited theatrical release.

The film tries desperately hard to be the ultimate in postmodern cool, but it completely falls flat on every level. The wildly overrated director Nicolas Winding Refn uses endless stylistic excess and pseudo-existential dread to mask the fact that this film is really nothing more than a mindless action flick mixed with a tedious romantic soap opera (but it doesn't even succeed on those terms either). The performances are universally terrible, with Ryan Gosling wooden and robotic and Albert Brooks unintentionally funny. On top of that, the film's "plot" (what little there is of it) is lifted directly from The Driver (1978), which wasn't very good to begin with, but at least wasn't cloaked in endless layers of hipster ostentation. Film Comment Magazine said it best: "While you could lean back and nod along to Refn's posturing, the film plays more like an exercise in turn-of-the-Eighties nostalgia, a movie-length strong-silent swagger inspired by the art on a VHS box."

I don't disagree with these statements at all, but this is exactly why I like the movie. It's form over substance, it's a complete nothingburger but it's got a good vibe

I didn't know this until looking through Drive (2011) movie trivia recently but apparently it takes place in London. He was driving on the wrong side of the road the entire time

Check out the movie trivia when you get the chance. Drive (older UK version) was filmed in the US

It was always pretty flat and dull. Its reputation outgrew it by an order of magnitude. Notice nobody gives a shit about Only God Forgives

I just hacked your web application.
FAQ
What does this mean?
I have found a severe vulnerability (CVSS score >= 7) in your live web application.
Why did you do this?
There are several reasons I may search for vulnerabilities in a web application. These include, but are not limited to:
Personal interest,
Fulfilling a challenge,
Monetary incentives.
Am I in danger?
No - not yet. But you should fix the beforementioned vulnerability ASAP. Otherwise I will be forced to issue a security release, which may put your web application in jeopardy.
I don't believe my web application has a vulnerability. Can you prove it?
Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will acclaim a false vulnerability. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining why I am wrong. I tend to respond to rDrama PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of vulnerability appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception.
How can I prevent this from happening in the future?
Fix the vulnerability and move on. But learn from this mistake: your mistakes will not be tolerated on rDrama. I will continue to find vulnerabilities until you improve your code. Remember: Safe code is privilege, not a right.
