The Voyeur In Us: “Drive”
Take a close and careful look at the images below. What goes through your mind?
From top to bottom, they are arranged from amazingly intriguing to very interesting. Epic to great. I love them. They aren’t the only ads for the movie, but I repeatedly pass them up on billboards during the drive to the agency. What is that movie about, I would think.
Not only is every person on the boards intriguing, but the camera captures an expression on their faces that solicits questions. What just occurred? It gives the viewer a lot, but also only gives a little. In such a confined setting (an auto), it must have been a discussion that brought about the thickness in the air. After all, an auto is an excellent setting to have a range of conversation: private, intimate, etc. The setting beckons the voyeur in us. I want more. What’s next? Is this movie about a driver? A drive? It cannot be just that. Not with such great boards.
For the record, I saw the movie a few days ago. I watched it without first watching the trailer. Why? The boards. Movie info: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0780504/
