Guess what I did today... yep. I went to the movies to see Drive. Finally. Everybody has been telling me to go see it. I have to say, I love Ryan Gosling (nothing unique about that). A few weeks ago, I had an intense dream about the two of us. We were in love and holding hands and really going for it, relationship-wise. Ryan was my leading man that night. So the fact that I didn't feel the drive to see Drive (see what I did???!) was confusing to me. I mean, what is happening to my love for Ryan?
So, what did I think? I know everyone is basically waiting on pins and needles to hear my analysis of Drive. So, here it is: my opinion is that it was good. not awesome. not horrible. good.
I'm no fool. I can recognize a good film from a bad one. This movie has phenomenal acting, a fantastic soundtrack and the cinematography is beautiful, as is the storyline (and of course, let's not forget the writing and direction). I guess it is a little too gory for me. And the thing is, and this is really hard for me to face, but, Ryan and I have begun to go our separate ways since December when I watched his relationship with Michelle Williams go to shit in Blue Valentine. Since then, I guess we've begun to grow apart and develop different interests.
Please, Ryan, it's not you! It's me! You're doing wonderful things and you should continue on your path and do what you need to do to be happy. I'm going to stay behind with the Blue Valentines and the Half Nelsons of the cinema. But you will always have a special place in my heart, Ryan.
