A Real Hero-College And Electric Youth

938 Words4 Pages

Drive is such a widespread and general word for a movie title which reflects the director's intentions, which is for each viewer to conclude their own ideas on the tone, character traits, symbolism, dialog, and ending. Nicolas Winding Refn, the movies director, takes the viewer on a unique path of understanding. Unlike the majority of movies which use very few techniques to convey meaning to the viewer , Drive uses many techniques that call for the viewer to decipher such as music, restraint in oratory, symbolic imagery, and lighting. When music is used correctly by the director it can have almost as much impact to the viewers understanding as dialog does. The music selection is executed perfectly by Refn. One of the songs he added is titled A Real Hero-College & Electric Youth. It is played frequently during the movie, foreshadowing the ending, it and becomes an irreplaceable part of the viewers final thoughts of the movie. The rest of the soundtrack intertwines with the mysterious/reserved protagonist and, due to the whole soundtrack being in low beats per minute, sophisticated and, electronically produced, it creates a mood of suspense. …show more content…

As stated before, the protagonist, whose name is not given, speaks very little as does Irene . This is why Refn uses odd camera angles and close ups so facial expressions can tell the viewer the most of the thoughts that the actor themselves do not utter. This adds to the fact that each viewer might have slightly different opinions on the main characters since they must infer from the characters facial expressions what they are trying to

    John Williams who is American composer and a conductor created the theme song from superman. Some of the most popular music that was recognized from John Williams is, some of the star wars series the thrilling shark movies the jaw, Jurassic park and many more. He also did theme music for four Olympic world games, which is to me really interesting. The theme from superman illustrates and shows a man that is not really seen powerful in the public eye and is misunderstood in front of everyone even though he fights crime and saves the world he often feels if anyone really cares about what he is doing for him or her. The music shows the struggle of what superman is being faced with on the daily basis of trying to be a hero and have a

    Though it is wise to doubt rhetoric and what is presented as fact, people are often convinced by both. Victor warns Walton against believing what the monster says, instead he encourages him to believe the appearance of the monster. The thoughts and feelings of the characters, when written in this style, allows the character to choose what they say they think about. This allows the reader to see how the characters want to present themselves. As one’s personality is more reflected in their thoughts than in their actions, and because one’s actions either did or did not happen, it is better to discern a person's sense of self by how they present what they think.
