That's true. We still gotta get to know each other. But... it's just a movie. It ain't meant to be realistic.

True. Still bothers me 🤷🏽

Yea, I get it. It’s a small leap of faith. It’s also part of the strong silent type motif of noir cinema so I eat it up.

But... the strong silent type is not just a stereotype.

Yeah be l but even the most hardboiled noir string silent types had dialogue 🤷🏽 and even more so they had inner monologues so we knew how they felt about the world🤷🏽 I feel like Drive was a movie made because of the trope of Ryan Gosling 🤷🏽 Ryan Gosling himself even said for a long time up until they movie he felt like his roles were often "a robot shell of a man experiencing feelings through others reactions to him" and I think Nicholas Wendigo Refn was like... Actually.... Yeah.... Let's make you do nothing a whole movie and see if people sit through it.

From my experience, the men who have to boast about having "confidence" usually have the least... if any. 🤷‍♂️

Oooh facts. But I still stand by that they would say SOMETHING🤷🏽 To which Driver says and does nothing🤷🏽

Again, there is a special type of chemistry that comes from two strong silent types being together. LOL! I'm not saying that we're mutes. But, you get my point.

No no I totally get that. I just would/have already argued that you still have to have some base level which I feel he didn't. And if you're saying 2 string silent types fit together to have comfortable silence I would also argue Irene is in NO WAY a strong silent type. Her whole dynamic was begging without saying it aloud. She was wanton. She would have craved for him to even say her name once more.
