Wow Drive is from 2011? Man... I feel like it's a new movie. I loved it, maybe that's why.

  Well it is a new movie, at least by period standards. Broadly speaking you've got the B&W era until the 70s, the "old classics" recorded in colour on actual film up till the 90s, then the period of questionable CGI and campiness up till somewhere like 2005 when what we feel like is new/recent cinema starts. The ongoing era of decent invisible CGI, quality digital cameras, and post-9/11 hopelessness. It's why I still watch a lot of 90s/early 2000s movies, there's just something different about that era that feels nice.

    the period of questionable CGI and campiness is over? Have you seen the never ending churn out of marvel "movies"?

      Having grown up with the crappy "Jurassic Park somehow pulled off what no other movie of the time did" CGI of the 90s, the effects in the Marvel movies look pretty seamless up to the point where people's fingers start shooting green lightning or whatever. The nature of their plot holes and overall dumbness feels different, also. Much more polish, to the extent that I can almost ignore how stupid the whole thing is when I'm watching one. Almost.

  I think we get that "goddamn years are going by" feeling with movies especially because they are connected to a specific year yet are disconnected from other memories (unless you brought your crush to one of them maybe)

Seems to be a popular aesthetic for synthwave compilations on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICcFMBzOnYs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICcFMBzOnYs I wonder if Drive originated this aesthetic or if it's just coincidence.
- Bakary 4y ago
  I can't tell you what originated the aesthetic, but it's not Drive because some songs on its soundtrack were already part of the established aesthetic. It's definitely one of the major works in that world, however.

  It's "Outrun" aesthetic, for example https://www.reddit.com/r/outrun https://www.reddit.com/r/outrun

I was thinking of this song exactly before I turned on the music; thought it might even be the same song for a second. I wonder why the (visual) aesthetic is evocative of this song?

Very nice! I instantly recognized the tune but from a completely different event, namely https://youtu.be/wkF9w86XXKU https://youtu.be/wkF9w86XXKU That's the cover by band London Grammar and TIL about the original one. Didn't know about the movie which now is on my todo list, thanks.

  I remember Alt-J performing a cover of "A Real Hero", another song from the Drive soundtrack, at Glastonbury festival years ago. The film and soundtrack were really cool.

    Incidentally, that song was written with Chesley Sullenberger in mind, the pilot of US Airways Flight 1549, which he glide-landed in the Hudson River. That guy is a real hero, and apparently a real human bean.
