Y'all I'm actually going insane over how effective the "was he slow" scene from Baby Driver is.
Hear me out.
The song that Baby makes isn't bad, I actually think it's enjoyable when he first makes it. Certain parts are a little odd, like using a recording of your boss but it's obvious when it comes to the composition that he kinda knows what he's doing.
The first scene where you interact with the song is the one in which he's actually creating it. He's having fun, creating his own beat and melody to go with it, and you begin to have a little fun too with the scene. It also feels like a very personal scene. The movie is showing you a side to Baby that most people haven't seen.
Which makes the "was he slow" scene that much worse.
When interacting with it the second time, Baby is incredibly upset and uncomfortable. He believes that his foster father has been killed in the process of getting the tapes, he has missed his opportunity to meet up with Deborah, and no one in the room trusts him. You can feel the tension in the room, and when it is disturbed by the song, the level of discomfort heightens. The team is laughing at him while his boss, who has been sampled for the song, who has kept him as a "lucky charm" since childhood, who can easily kill him or have him killed, simply looks on in disappointment.
What's insane about this scene to me is that the shame of this scene CONTINUES. For me, listening to the piece is still uncomfortable, no matter how long it's been since I've seen it.
Recently, years after the last time that I saw the movie, I was listening to the soundtrack while doing homework. The song came on. Instant pause. I thought I could push through it, after all it had been literal years.
I had to skip the song to be able to get any work done because it was STILL associating it with the second scene.
Well played, Mr. Wright.
Well played.

You’ll be okay, friend <3
Wait shit I read it wrong, I thought you meant that they were doing some wild ass rigging to shoot difficult shots with film. Mb bro 😭😭.
Baby driver was shot on film with stunts that was too bulky for film cameras digitally. But it was 90% film
Oh absolutely!
Side note, absolutely insane that we both added Sherlock Holmes to the hyperfixation list at the same time.
I was thinking about it for a moment like wtf, LOTR person I followed for the hyperfixation casually switched gears with me.
So uh, if I started an 18+ Sherlock Holmes/John Watson discord, would anyone be interested in joining?
Going to an international studies event tomorrow for a trip I'm going on.
I also coincidentally learned how to say a few words in ASL because I want to become conversational in it at some point.
Here's the thing.
My friend and I learned how to sign penis.
So now i have the moral battle of whether or not to teach anyone who's from overseas and my age how to say that in ASL.
To dick joke or not to dick joke.
I would have followed you to the ends of the earth. To the very fires of Mordor.
