Haha, you make it seem like the Oscars have ever been smart XD

yea honestly, @film radar, you deserve an award.

Sensitive Sushiroll, that would be nice

I know right. Great analysis.

no

Yes! Such a great little twist for the film.

Great observation

This is a beautiful malapropism

You do not know what the word "literally" means

He’s literally a red fish. 😂😂😂

Lol, nice profile.

@@phyokyawkhaing2251 It tricked me LOL

I hate your profilepicture

dark mode prevents this, but it's clever nonetheless

That freaking fly

Haha, you're not wrong there.

+Film Radar I really can't think who manages to make everything as energetic as Edgar Wright does, I love him for that.

The Cohens!

+En Zo I'm assuming you mean the Coens?

+Zorcvin Is an exception to the rules yes. But that's even if you'd want to consider his movies to be full on comedies.

YES. Lovely little detail right?

I read your comment and thought "Yeah...okay, like that would ever happen". 10/10 Was pleasantly surprised when I checked twitter.

What was the tweet?

"Here's a nice deep dive on the costume work in 'Baby Driver' - SPOILERS: BEWARE!" with a link to the video :)

@@tamircohen1512 Thank you for your service

The laundromat scene is the perfect example of that too 💙❤💛

Someone finally noticed! Excellent observation my dude.

You could also interpret that lense breaking in that scene as him truly seeing things as they are to the point where he makes important decisions based on his newly clarified view of the world

He also doesn't wear sunglasses for the rest of the movie I believe. Meaning he's not hiding from things anymore and he can literally see clearly

Great point. Mabey that's why Doc protected him. His dark shades also mirror things from the outside so It's a visual metaphor for how perhaps Doc see's himself in Baby or at least see's a reflection of himself(quite literally lmao) so he empathises and wants to protect that innocence. when one lense is shattered in the shopping mall chase scene it shows not only does he have a newer clarified view of the world (as another commented on this thread suggests) and see how dangerous his situation is, but also his loss of innocence in the crime world.

If that was in school I would actually learn

it's actually kind of funny how well both Baby Driver and most works by Shakespeare fit in the art period of the english renaissance - both discuss the complex principles of humanism.

Thank you! Costume design is an elegant art, that can really make a huge difference for a film. Currently I have no plans of covering the costume design of another film, but I'm sure it's something I'll come back to at some point, I like to jump around on subjects between videos though to keep things fresh, but there's definitely plenty of other videos deserving of their own video like this.

I could say the same thing to you! You kidding me man? Your last video was straight fire, like eating a hot pocket while chewing Big Red in the center of a volcano FIRE.

Krom the Assasin Stroking each other's egos. Praise shower. Overboard with the compliments. There are so many ways to say that without going inappropriate.

Film Radar Baby and Deborah both wear black and white like prisoners because they are both trapped. Baby is trapped in criminal activity. Deborah in the conventional slum of adulthood responsibilities.

Good job.

what the fuck is POS??

Just the one swan actually.

Is it true, that there's a place in a man's head, that if you shoot at, it'll explode ?

You've got a mustache I KNOW!

Scott pilgrim is my favorite movie

I loved Baby Driver a lot more which is saying something because I absolutely adored Hot Fuzz. Baby Driver is in my top 5 favorite movies

It's entirely possible! Funny enough Ansel was one of the contenders for the role of young Han in the new SW movie. He almost did Ant-Man but left over creative differences, they really don't seem open to letting talented people do their own thing within the cinematic universe, which is a shame, I think an Edgar Wright superhero movie would be incredible.

Solid point. Maybe there's also a relatively simple yet blatant statement of white under, black over. Exactly what was said in the video, Baby's core becomes darker and we see that through his t-shirt. However, towards the end he's not wearing that black waistcoat much I believe. Perhaps that was his visage, his criminal character

I think we all agree it'd be great, but Disney can't handle the greatness of Mr Wright... they have to stick to their repetitive story-line's haha

AsHalt he worked on ant man for 8 years but left in 2014

FINALLY someone who knows how to correctly spell y&y!

Thank you for the lovely comment!

I'm still in shock that that actually happened, he's one of my favorite filmmakers of all time, hasn't made a bad film yet! The World's End really grew on me the more I watched it, after a first viewing I was disappointed, I didn't like it nearly as much as I had liked Shaun of the Dead or Hot Fuzz, but it gets better every time I see it, it's a really lovely film.

*the world's end

Check out Ray, Collateral, or Jarhead, Jamie Foxx is absolutely terrific. Yeah, it's kind of ridiculous.

A C Yes Jamie Foxx totally killed it ! And his death scene was frickin hilarious and came very unexpected. It's especially funny, if you think of him telling Baby that sometime he would have blood on his hands.

A

a C

Yes he is a great actor, but when he sings it is pure magic, too

I hadn't noticed that!

I'd say so, knowing the Academy it probably won't get any, but I'm hoping for a few.

Then he doesn't sound retarded to me.

No he was fast

good kid and a devil behind the wheel

Retarded means slow, was he slow

lol

Well thank you for saying so! I did what I could to make it concise and entertaining!

Thank you for your kind words!

You're welcome. It was well deserved! You should do one on Manchester by the Sea. What a fantastic film!

That's one I still haven't seen unfortunately, but I really look forward to seeing Casey Affleck's performance, I loved him in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford!

Oh man, you're in for a treat when you watch his other movies, they're just as awesomely made and entertaining. There's a lot going for it, it has a superb script, great performances, a kickass soundtrack and some of the best car chases of the last decade, but yeah, the costume design goes a long way for making the film better. Glad you liked the video buddy :)

I finally saw Baby Driver yesterday and man it was disappointing. I was waiting for the record to scratch and the Edgar Wright genius to burst through and reveal itself but it never happened. It was just cliched scene after cliched scene that in the end amounted to nothing unique or interesting in any way. Sure it was made better than all the films its the same as, but it's still no where near as creative as Wright's previous films, so even stylistically it under performs.

Hott Fuzz, Baby Driver, and Scott Pilgrim all tie for my favorite Wright movie while World's End and Suan of the Dead closely follow.

Honestly, I'd say to watch it a few times. There are definitely cliched aspects, but I'm not sure why that has to be a bad thing. Every film these days is treading water that's been tread before. There's no new ground to break in traditional visual storytelling, so we're going to see certain tropes arise. But every beat of the film is driven by the soundtrack, it plays out almost like a musical but with kickass rock music. The car chases were all done for real, with even the real actors inside the car. There are details hidden throughout, and just tons of great use of symbolism and humor and man I just love this film. Granted, rewatching it might not change your opinion, but I'd say it's worth a try before solidifying your opinion.

All excellent film!

Hey man, that's what movies are all about, getting the audience to connect with the character. I think he'd be pleased that you found him so relatable.

SAME

Totally agree! So many movies would lack the same punch without expert costuming, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Matrix. Thanks Will, means a lot coming from you!

So do I, and I'm just happy that I get the chance to make them! Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! :)

Thank you for your reply!! This movie was awesome, and I plan on watching all of the director's other works now. This video was totally inspiring! Again thank you for your reply, it's really cool that you connect with your fans! (:

No problem! I couldn't agree more, one of the best I saw this year, you're in for a treat whenever you watch an Edgar Wright film, his movies are fantastic. Thank you for saying so! I always try to respond whenever I can, it's harder than ever these days but I'd say that's a good problem to have :)

This is the first time a youtuber replied to me, and I'm on youtube a lot, so I'm really happy you did! That's I really good problem to have! I hope your channel just keeps growing, I subscribed after watching just a few of your videos, so I'm sure you will keep gaining fans. I'm rooting for you! (:

I've been there before! Too many creators I watch have way too large of audiences to ever notice little old me haha. Thank you so much! I hope so too! And even if I blow up huge some day I'll always try to take the time to respond to awesome people like you :)

Thank you for saying so! I did my best to dig out some stuff that other people hadn't noticed, it's good to know that I didn't screw it up! :D

Yup! Yellow is the bridge between those worlds, the connection to his past with his mother, which is why they're also both blonde. Good eye my friend!

Absolutely! I love giving credit where its due, especially to people who don't get as much as they deserve.

Phoebe Louise YEEEES!!

Thank you! I'm glad you found the video insightful! Oh man, I'm so looking forward to your video, every video you put out is incredible.

Like Stories of Old Thanks to your comment, I found your channel. Gonna go to it now.

Like Stories of Old You putting that description that your channel playlist is chronological is genius.

Indeed I was! Also hinted at by the blonde hair, and that the first time he ever sees Debora she's singing. I didn't go fully into that because I thought it strayed from my point, but I definitely think he was missing a caring feminine figure in his life, and she represents a lot of what he misses about his mom(at least that's my interpretation).

I never thought about it like that, but now that you point it out-it makes a ton of sense. Now I feel like I'm obliged to watch it again!

Lacy Stephens Hey, I love your taste! :D

Oh man, that's Edgar Wright for you, every scene has so many layers to it, the man is such a hero of mine. DO IT. Especially now that it's out on Blu-Ray.

BACK OFF HE'S MINE. Jk, yeah, Jack's freaking awesome.

Don't worry, took me a few viewings to pick up on this stuff, with the help of some sources(that you can check out in the description if you'd like)

Film Radar Cool thanks 🤙🏼

Well thank you for saying so! I definitely had to watch the film a few times to pick up on a lot of the things I wrote about, but I was pretty pleased with my analysis and I'm glad you were as well!

Film Radar I've been blown away by all of the videos you've analyzed It won't be long. You'll be making that sweet ass KZfaq money

That's very kind of you to say! Hey, a guy can dream right? I mean, I'll never be getting that Jake Paul money, but I'd be more than happy getting some Lessons from the Screenplay money xD

Thank you kindly! :D

Shane Fell also the clothes he grabs at the mall when he’s trying to hide are a blue jean jacket and a very blue hat

Exactly! That's what's so amazing about it, you don't even have to notice it for it to be effective! I love stuff like that. Thank you!

I hadn't considered that! I'm sure that had to be intentional.

I have a thought on that. Somewhere near the middle of the film, we learn that Darling and Buddy were "normal" folk who led relatively innocent lives (the diner scene where Bats tries to guess their lives). They then started committing small crimes to pay off debts. But, one day when their luck ran out they had to choose between a life of crime (aka a life on the run) or doing time in prison. This B&D couple (Buddy and Darling) chose to run. On the other hand, another B&D couple in the movie faced with nearly the exact same choice at the film's end chose to step on the brakes instead of a life constantly on the run. I think they're both meant to show that everyone always has a choice in the life they want to lead. Or something like that

Or Buddy and Darling -> B D Baby and Debra -> BD BD -> Baby Driver.

@@108titan I know this was a year ago but they weren't innocent. Buddy works in wallstreet and had a family but took it all for granted and ran off with Darling his "favorite lapdancer" then led a life of crime.

Also Bats and Doc

Thank you! There are definitely a lot of us out there, plenty of which are absolutely amazing, if you're looking for more movie channels you can check my sidebar on my channel page, some really solid channels that are worth your time.

It's such a huge area worthy of discussing, I'm glad I could offer my own take on it :)

Thanks! That part turned out better than expected, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Film Radar Nah man thank you for making dope content! I'm still amazed bye how awesome that looked though!

I'm glad I could shed some light on the subject! Thank you :)

Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it! :D

Baby Driver is terrific, and Edgar Wright is one the most talented filmmakers working today if you ask me. Glad you dug the video! And thanks for subscribing!

Aww well I feel honored! Thank you for the kind words, I hope you enjoy the other videos!

Thank you so much! Yeah, I feel like they probably went over most peoples, hell, they would have went over mine had I not binged every Edgar Wright interview I could find.

Haha, I've heard that before, he's definitely rubbed off on me since I started making these videos, but I really enjoy his videos so I take it as a compliment, though I have heard it as an insult before XD

Honestly, I just didn't care for my analysis of their outfits nearly as much, and I felt it would have hampered the video. I dug into it looking for deeper insight, but all of the best stuff that I found was more centered around Baby and Deborah, and I wanted to keep in only the best of the best. I'm glad you still enjoyed the video regardless!

Josie Cremona Agreed, I was very interested to see what the lavender and pinks fit and how it tied into their relationship.

Thank you kindly! I love this sort of stuff, and while Baby Driver is hardly the only film to implement that sort of idea, I thought it did it REALLY well.

Thank you! Glad I could help offer new insight :)

Good ear, man ;)

I thought I was the only one💀👌

He's one of those names that gets thrown around a lot within the right circles, but he's definitely no household name, and he absolutely should be.

Haha, no complaints from me ;)

Right? I thought so.

Well thank you for saying so! I never want to stretch a video out just to hit that desired length, but man I had a lot to say with this one!

Thanks! Solid rankings my dude!

At least a nomination would be nice I think.

Jesus Herrera Comedy that’s actually my exact same ranking

I wouldn't say no to that.

Thank you for the lovely comment! Costume design is a wonderful thing, I'm glad you have a great appreciation for it!

Thank you! Glad you liked the video!

I'm happy that you're happy!

I meant things like a cliche montage, or some lengthy sex scene, or many of the other overplayed scenes that build a film romance. Personally, I totally bought it, they're both young and seeking change. Love doesn't always follow the rules of logic, have you never been in a situation where you barely know someone and there's just this indescribable feeling you have for them? I think it's fair to say neither had ever met anyone like each other before, and they each had a quality that drew them to the other, I personally more than bought it, I loved it. I mean, his relationship with Joe is a fairly significant part of the film, and a great emotional core of the film, just not the only one. Though it's worth mentioning that you're not alone with those complaints, I've seen a lot of people say things that are similar to what you've said, and that's totally fine, not everyone is ever going to like any movie. There are always going to be people going "What the hell guys, it's not THAT good." And that's just the way it is.

I'm not sure if you've seen any of Edgar's other films, but they - like Baby Driver - often have this feeling to them that their world is a little bit fantastical, a little bit ridiculous. This allows some of the more far fetched things that take place to not be so jarring. Early on the movie leads you in with an understanding that you will have to suspend your beliefs a bit with that perfectly choreographed car chase. So in that sense, I think the romance fits into the reality of that world well enough. Though, I can see how that wouldn't be for everyone.

Carlos J Having seen the entire Cornetto trilogy, the essential relationships in all of those movies feel completely fleshed out and earned. The story could become outlandish, the stakes could skyrocket to a galactic level, but the reason those films are great is because the core of each story has well-developed, fleshed out characters with relationships that feel real and that you care about. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost inhabited completely different characters with completely different friendships in every film, and every one of them felt real and lived in. This movie was more grounded, frankly, and where the Cornetto trilogy provided great character building when it had high concepts it could’ve rested on, Baby Driver had a serviceable enough premise with no tangible character build-up to speak of. Considering the amount of time we get to invest in them, the character choices and plot-progression felt mechanical. Which is the last thing a movie built around music should’ve made me feel. I went into the movie hoping to love it. I just couldn’t, sadly. Edgar Wright is a fantastic director, but I’m starting to think Simon Pegg was a huge asset in the writing process. I didn’t feel a heart in this movie. I just heard it beating. Like it was trying to convince me to feel something instead of making me. I could see the sincerity in its attempt at romanticism, but it wasn’t actually there. If this were a film in the Cornetto trilogy, we would’ve had a scene where we see the main lead and the love interest alone in private, being mostly honest with each other about their lives and just enjoying each other’s company in a way that makes it clear that this is the first emotional connection either of them have really had, and the main character’s adoptive father would’ve been actually threatened instead of it being a fake-out and that would’ve been part of the emotional climax. That’s not what happened though. The film took half-measures when it could’ve given gut punches that would’ve made the final moments feel satisfying.

I can completely see where you're coming from. I think what it boils down to is how open someone is to the idea of such a highly romanticized idea of love which of course asks a lot of the viewer. And I suppose when it comes to movie relationships, I see most of them as a bit unrealistic so I let anything slide haha. As someone who watches a lot of animated shows and films, use of color as a thematic tool is often used so there was as sense of familiarity regarding that element, as well as some aspects of the storytelling. I felt the individual characters were very strong - it reminded me of reading a comic book, I suppose, and there are a lot of shoehorned relationships in those that I've grown accustom to over the years. But thanks for your perspective, I definitely can agree with you to a point.

was thinking the same thing

Damn straight my man, he's a master of his craft.

Agreed, and if you make videos as well as this you'll be a great youtuber!

Thanks for saying so! I'll certainly do my best!

Steve Porter Baby driver is a great movie for many reasons for example it has everything you want in a movie. Great music, amazing actors, great action and driving, romance, humor, serious scenes, intense scenes, surprising death scenes, memorable dialogue and much more..

Everyone has a film of his they'd put lowest on the ladder that others would rank the highest, I think that's a good sign of a talented filmmaker. I love all of his films, it just happens to be my personal number one.

It really does have it all, one of the best of the year for sure.

YT Channel sorry don't understand your response, I totally agree Baby Driver for me is my favorite film of the year, I was discussing that I thought while good Hot Fuzz is over rated

Glad you're enjoying the content!

I always want to help showcase some underappreciated talent, and I thought this was a perfect opportunity! That's fantastic! It's a great career path! Thank you :)

That's Edgar Wright for you, always putting tons of details for the attentive viewer!

Everything can be a tool for storytelling when in the right hands ;) Thank you so much!
