Day seven on my quest to write a story on Publish0x every day for a year. So far, I've covered the important topics of peanut butter, the word 'whoa', frogs, the difference between BTC, BCH and BSV, Croatia,and coffee.

Today I wanna talk about my favourite movie, Drive.

Writing about a movie without resorting to cliches is difficult.

What's the story about? An unnamed driver, Los Angeles - almost always at night, and a robbery gone wrong.

Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn e starring Ryan Gosling as 'the Driver', Drive takes Los Angeles and makes it darker.

Driver rarely talks and hardly ever smiles. During the day, he's a Hollywood stunt driver and a mechanic. At night, he moonlights as getaway driver. His seemingly flat personality makes him ironically more interesting. And he essentially outshines all other characters.

There's Nino (Ron Perlman), a wannabe Italian mobster; and Bernie Rose, a wannabe gentleman gangster who's more violent than he cares to admit.

And then of course there's Irene (Carey Mulligan), mother, wife of a convincted felon and the driver's love interest.

Ryan Gosling's performance gave us a silent and stoic protagonist.

More to the point, Drive is an amazing movie because it removes cliches from a heavily cliched plot: Los Angeles + gangasters.

Drive is different, it mostly relies on quotable but sparse movie lines and amazing visuals.

Like the best scene in a movie, Driver and Irene driving into the sunset along the dry LA River.
