Friday March 29 - Final Day of Baby Driver

Today, Friday March 29th, we finished watching the film "Baby Driver". Before Mr. Rivers started the film from where we left off, he handed out the last of our note cards that we had to fill out during the movie. We also reviewed all of the grades that have been due in the marking period and Mr Rivers reminded us to make sure to have all of our work in. We then began the film where we left off and it was right before where Bats dies after baby drives into the back of a truck, killing him. After this, Baby is forced to run from the cops and heads into the mall to avoid them. Baby takes different clothes from the mall to be disguised. He then ran out of the mall and stole a car from a lady. Baby took the ladies car and gave her the purse she left in there. He also apologized to her and this showed Baby's good side. He is a very good person and this is shown throughout the film. Some examples of this is that he takes care of Joseph, the deaf black man who lived with Baby in his apartment. Baby had a very rough childhood and got himself into a very bad situation with crime in order to make money. Once he got himself into this situation, he could not get out. Regardless, Baby is a good person inside and means well. Later in the movie, Baby and the couple who were a part of the job get into a shootout in the parking lot resulting in Buddy's wife being killed. Buddy is very angry about this and later attempts to kill Baby and Debora. After all of this, Baby somehow manages to escape the cops and gets back to his apartment to save Joseph. He brings Joseph to a home so he is safe and he then goes to meet Doc to get his tapes back. As they go down into the garage, another shootout breaks out and Doc kills everyone until Buddy pull up in a cop car. Doc believes it is the cops but Baby knows its Buddy. Doc gets killed after he gets run over and Baby and Buddy then go through a long fight where they are driving around the garage in a very well made action scene. Baby avoids Buddy and manages to drive into the cop car and force it off the building they were in. Buddy left the car but Baby does not know this and the next thing he knows, Buddy has a gun to Baby's head. He takes two shots on each side of his head that makes Baby's hearing impaired. Debora, who was waiting in the car, comes out and hits the gun out of Buddy's hand. Buddy then falls off the building and Baby and Debora drive away. Debora is then driving and when Baby wakes up, he can see a wall of cop cars in front of him. He surrenders and turns himself in. During the court scene for Baby's sentence, he is talked about by several people who all say something very similar. This is that he is a very good person who means well and just managed to get caught in a bad situation. Baby is sentenced 25 years in prison but the last scene really does show good insight to who Baby really is, a great person who was traumatized by an accident as a kid and just got caught up with the wrong people. After the film ended, Mr. Rivers asked us to fill out a Be Reel poll on classroom for Baby Driver. Everyone voted for Good, Good and rightfully so as this film was very enjoyable and very well put together. I hope this can help anyone who was absent Friday.
