I’ve seen similarities pointed out before, but I wanted to do a full breakdown because they are really really really similar.
The movie is a neo-noir film, released in the 2010s. The film takes place in Los Angeles stars Ryan Gosling as a quiet, introverted, socially isolated loner who wears a cool jacket and drives a cool car. He has a girlfriend, but the relationship’s off somehow. Circumstances are keeping them apart. Maybe it’s something about them, maybe it’s something about the world they live in. Gosling plays an important role in his industry: he’s disposable, a replacement. He does the dangerous work so the important people don’t have to. All the same, he’s motivated to be more than what others see him as. He explores the darker underbelly of society, exploring the secrets that lie beneath the surface. Along the way, he becomes affiliated with a man with a dark past. The man is played by someone best known for playing a cocky, hotshot Star Wars pilot, but in this movie, they’re playing a much darker and more depressing role than what they’re usually associated with. The man has a child who Gosling feels the need to protect. He goes rogue, going against his mentor’s advice and forging his own path to achieve his goals. Partially through the film, an antagonist is revealed who is discovered to be much more dangerous than they were initially assumed to be. This antagonist is associated with a powerful group of people who essentially hold most of the power in Los Angeles. The antagonist tries to find Gosling, and goes to Gosling’s mentor to obtain information of his whereabouts. The mentor refuses, so the antagonist mortally wounds them with a blade. Ryan Gosling, filled with purpose, rams an enemy’s car and, after a struggle, drowns them. Ryan Gosling understands his relationship with his girlfriend was doomed from the start, but finds comfort in the fact that he was at least able to protect the child and grant them safety, against the demands of others. Unfortunately, he suffered a knife wound to the stomach from the antagonist before he killed them, so he sits down, leans back, and stares off into the sky, leaving the audience in the dark as to his fate.
