RE: My Personal Thoughts on "Baby Driver"

in #story7 years ago (edited)

Not much to disagree with here. Though I will say that I think Deborah could have been written better, or perhaps played by a different actress. Not sure. It wasn't so much that their romance was cliche, but that her character was cliche.

I also think the ending was done poorly. It should have ended with the police ready to catch them on the bridge, and perhaps Baby has to make a choice to keep running or surrender, and then the camera cuts to black and we're left wondering what happened.

I'm not sure if Edgar Wright is going to make a sequel (doubt it, as the movie is perfect as a standalone), but if he did, a great setup would have been Baby getting out of prison, and perhaps getting pulled back into the game by an associate of Kevin Spacey's character.

Thanks for your feedback, buddy! I mentioned the action was cliched towards the end, but not the romance. However, I definitely agree that the character of Debora seems to get too involved in this new life of danger and unrequited devotion to Baby too quickly. Also, I guess we could have had a multitude of possible different endings, but if that's the vision the director chose to go with, then it works for me too. If anything, it wrapped up the movie up to it's literal final conclusion.

All in all, with a few misgivings here and there, I believe we are on the same page with how we both feel about this movie. Bless and thanks again for stopping by... :)

Yeah, their romance seemed to develop way too quickly, but hey, at the end of the day, that was more just a plot device to get Baby from a to b. And you're right about the multitude of endings, I just thought of another one after I wrote that. 😅 Thanks for the review! I like to hear different opinions on this film. 👍
