Drive

Plot

Emotionless driver (Ryan Gosling) has a dual life as a stunt driver and mechanic during the day and a getaway driver during the night. His life changes when he falls in love his neighbor, Irene, and her husband returns from prison weeks later.
The driver's heroic character will try to save Irene's husband's life helping him to complete a heist from a pawn shop.

Music

Drive soundtrack brings you back to the eighties, with melodic synth pop tunes.
The movie features several musical sequences where the audience takes the point of view of the main character. This creates a very good climate to transmit the character's feelings.

Contagion

Plot

Contagion tells the story of the spread of a deadly disease in the course of a few days. What's different about the movie is the way the story is told. The film presents several plots, with no protagonist, that are followed over the course of several weeks showing how the outbreak and evolution of the disease affects the lives of different people with different implications. This peculiar way in telling the story is what likes and dislikes people as the different reviews show.
