``Baby Driver'' is a thrilling work that combines ``music'' and ``action,'' a passionate respect for the legendary car action movie.

The purity of expressing his love for masterpieces and genres without concealing them.

In this way, ` `Baby Driver '' is filled with the attention to detail typical of director Wright, who has both a love and knowledge of movies. By the way, his love for ` `The Driver '' grew so much that director Walter Hill made a cameo appearance in the film's climax as a ``voice-only'' character (a role that you would never know unless you knew about it in advance). . Furthermore, he is reluctant to show his love for this movie to the audience, such as when a series of numbers shown in a small scene actually means the US release date of ``The Driver'' (again, to a level that is almost unnoticeable). do not have.

There is no such thing as a completely original movie in this world. Every director is fascinated by movies in some way from an early age, embodies the emotion and impact of those experiences, and begins by imitating them as studies while discovering his own methodology. On the one hand, there are film directors who want to hide their influences, but Wright is the exact opposite, and is the type who keeps promoting himself by saying, ``This is such an interesting movie!'' That's why when I look at his works, I feel a refreshing atmosphere, as if a door has been left open. When you open one door, many old, solid, and cool doors await you, and the world expands infinitely from there. This can also be said to be the real pleasure of enjoying Wright's works.
