Baby Driver [DVD]

Absolutely loved the premise, the action, the characters. But the best part is the cast and the music. I think it has a really great balance of crime/action/intensity, and emotional pieces and personal relationships.Definitely would offer a trigger warning for some graphic and cringey deaths, (along the lines of someone in a horror movie falling towards a wood chipper and you can see it coming), but nothing so insane or gross that it'll never leave you.LOTS of swears, minimal drugs/alcohol, some kissing.

My rating is more of a 4.5Thanks for reading!𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝑨𝒍𝒍 𝑰 𝑾𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝑻𝒐 𝑫𝒐 𝑰𝒔 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝑾𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑶𝒏 𝑻𝒘𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒚 𝑰𝒏 𝑨 𝑪𝒂𝒓 𝑰 𝑪𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝑨𝒇𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝑾𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝑨 𝑷𝒍𝒂𝒏 𝑰 𝑫𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝑯𝒂𝒗𝒆.𝑱𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝑴𝒆, 𝑴𝒚 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒄 𝑨𝒏𝒅 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒂𝒅.Baby Driver is a 2017 action film written and directed by Edgar Wright. It stars Ansel Elgort as a getaway driver seeking freedom from a life of crime with his girlfriend Debora (Lily James). Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, Eiza González, Jamie Foxx and Jon Bernthal appear in supporting roles.I haven’t seen Andel Elgort in much else, but I imagine this is going to change. ‘Baby Driver’ Is more than a stone’s throw away From his roles in ‘The Fault in Our Stars’ and ‘Divergent’ with his innocent demeanor making for a naturally nuanced performance. I am reminded very much of Miles Tanner ( I'm convinced they would make for a well-rounded combination of talent and #attitude) in that Elgort is a perfect representation of juvenile maturity. if I do say so myself: his nomination for a Golden Globe for this performance was more than deserved.Before moving on I do want to give credit and attention to the easily overlooked C.J. Jones; His casting isn’t a complete accident given Wrights’ specifications in writing, but being someone born deaf has contributed to significant difficulty in scoring work that captures his abilities. Most actors seen on film and similar mediums portraying dead characters aren't actually deaf ( as a consequence of forgoing the cost of a translator) but I don't need to elaborate on the importance of sound and sensitive representation. ‘Baby Driver’ marks the 𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕 appearance of a black deaf actor in an international Blockbuster, and the decisions leading to this are worth doting on to some degree. It also warms my heart to know that Elgort learned American sign language for the sake of being able to effectively communicate with Jones on set, and the bond between them makes for some emotionally compelling interactions on screen. I'm not surprised though. Actions speak louder, y’all.From the very start of ‘Baby Driver’ Wright has an obvious destination in mind. This target is indefinitely reached successfully, but I will say that I am a bit underwhelmed by some of the expositional pieces and those meant to speak on the character development enclosed. I am certainly not privy to the tiniest details that would elaborate on specific formalities related to Baby’s form of “employment”, but I find myself wanting to know more about its leprous influence on his psyche and behavior as a whole. I feel largely at a loss when making sense of Baby’s motives and intermittently split second decisions that reflect some deep-seated prudence, but the overarching context makes for some interesting points of self-reflection and contention. There's much to be said about themes as they relate to nurturing and squandering the parts of an individual responsible for their separate identities, and the power of perspective is entertained and alluded to at length.There's not much to add as it pertains to the set design, cinematography, and sound mixing - but these elements are outstandingly immersive and are a #creativeflex more than anything if I have ever seen one.The camera work is shaky - but controlled - and captures the high-energy of ‘Baby Driver’ and the chaos which ensues. Contrary to the easily assumed: the car chasing scenes are made using absolutely no CGI, and the performers are all doing their own stunts. Most impressive is the way in which the soundtrack is intertwined with the plot and it's choreography (Everything down to the gunshots is synced with the music playing) and further fortifies the understanding one has a Baby and the world he's surrounded by. As audience members are put in its titular characters’ shoes - or his headphones rather - viewers have no choice but to listen and thoughtfully engage with his charade. Is ‘Baby Driver’ flawless? Not really. What we DO have here though is a substantial representation of Wright’s dedication to this project (he spent an estimated 10 years actually writing this film) and a piece that sets standards outside of its original objectives.Ending on a note that ponders accountability, ‘Baby Driver’ is a road to hell that is paved with good (and possibly even the best) intentions.

Great movie was blow away by the soundtrack and the picture quality was amazing glad i got this disc

Nice ride!

Edgar Wright is the best comedic director alive, using dramatic lighting changes, musical cues, and snappy editing to an amazing degree (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End, Scott Pilgrim) when other dumb comedies rely entirely on straight shots and dialogue--not that these other movies aren't fun, too, just that Wright approaches comedy from a very artistic place that honors the medium of film instead of just standup comedians riffing.In this film, however, it's not the laughs that shine, but the action and the cool. Wright does use his editing skills like a boss in this film, and the cast is remarkably stacked with stars playing second to a lesser known actor in a very interesting role. The action sequences are great, especially some car chases that are the best I've seen (I am not a fan of the over-the-top, digitized mayhem of the usual car-based action films).But where Wright really relies on his bag of tricks is in lining up the action and mood with a killer soundtrack. Pay close attention to the music as you watch something even as mundane as the character walking down the street. Wright said basically that he was making a musical without any singing, and he succeeds.Last note: Jamie Foxx is really unhinged and menacing in this movie as the type of person I would never, ever want to meet in real life. Kevin Spacey is also menacing, though in a laconic, controlled way.

Me and my husband liked it good couple movie

Entro en Amazon y veo está peli a 3.80€ y como un incauto voy y pico. Cuando me llega veo el motivo. Esta en alemán y en inglés. Y los extras en inglés SIN subtítulos. Nada de castellano. Amazon lo hace muy bien para que piquemos puesto que esconde bastante bien los idiomas para que nadie se entere. Es cierto que la descripción está en alemán y es para sospechar pero igual que el precio lo resaltan cuando es barato, también se podría resaltar los idiomas y más en blurays. Reto a todo el mundo a que miren donde ponen los idiomas. Y por si alguien lo pregunta: Amazon convenientemente oculta la portada trasera, mostrando solo la delantera, cuando todo el mundo sabe que detrás es donde está la info. Pero gracias a esto ya he pillado el truco. No comprare mas películas de Amazon que no tengan foto de la carátula trasera. En resumen, si no dominais el inglés, no compréis. Estoy enfadado y eso que solo he pagado 3.8€, imaginad si la comprais más cara

Tres bon film d action

The advertising did this movie no justice. It's much more than just a car chase movie - but the chase scenes are amazing. Great movie - great chase scenes - solid acting and story.It's easily a 8/10 - gave it 5 because some people are giving it 1 star because they don't like the DL site - stupid.

El Blu-ray llegó en tiempo y en forma, con slipcover y el código de descarga digital.Sobre la película, es fantástica. Pura adrenalina rítmica. De las mejores del 2017.

Desde la primera vez que la vi, supe que tendría que pertenecer a mi colección, y así fue como se convirtió en mi película fav. Me encanta.
