@why what do you think they were silent about

@nugger translation
Ryan Gosling as the puppet Ken is a solar, strictly Mithraic hero. He has white hair, a stylish bow, bronzer all over his body. By his appearance, the solar Gosling radiates charisma and confidence. Yes, he's a fake character, a beautiful doll without soul or passion, but that doesn't stop him from seducing his lady of the heart, the same Barbie doll. Ken is the Atlantean of the consumer world, the ultimate expression of glamorous gloss, and even in the doll's sickly pink sets he exudes the aura of a conqueror of heights.

At the other end of this aesthetic pole is Gosling from Drive. There's a lot of pink in Drive, too - but it's a sinister pink, a nighttime neon. Neon is always where there is danger, underlying passion, sinister doom. Here Gosling is a dark, sublunary character, completely withdrawn from himself. He hardly speaks at all, his very work carries a great deal of danger and alienation. The neon Gosling is capable of love, but his love is not conquering. It is hidden, defensive - Gosling neon shows his true passion only in a brutal murder in the elevator. Otherwise, he is a shadowy entity, a character walking toward his curse and the inevitability of fate.

And so the struggle of the puppet Gosling and the autistic Gosling is accomplished. Puppet Gosling, the thesis, represents the dominance of the imaginary. His antithesis, Gosling the neon, is the "real human bean". A real human bean, a reflection of a real, traumatized person in difficult life circumstances.

The synthesis of these two extremes can only be accomplished in one character, the sweater Gosling, who leads a reclusive life in a garage with his sex doll.

came across a gorgeous melody a while ago, came from a (I believe) Chinese folk song about a woman who was kidnapped by a bandit and killed herself in order to avoid betraying her love.

there's a couple different renditions of it youtube but I can't find it, any help would be appreciated
