Screenwriting 101: Nicolas Winding Refn

“I’ve always liked characters that because of the circumstances, have to transform themselves, and in the end, it’s inevitable that what they end up becoming is what they were meant to be. And Drive is similar in the sense that The Driver was meant to become a superhero, and he’s denied all these things — relationships, companionship. And why would he be denied that? It was because he was meant for something greater.”
