And the world around him moves to the music on one of his many iPods-he has various ones for different moods. After a car accident as a kid left him with tinnitus, he spends the vast majority of his waking hours with ear buds in his ears to drown out the ringing. HeвЂ™s the nearly silent getaway driver for a robbery syndicate managed by Doc ( Kevin Spacey), who organizes the crime, hires three criminals, and then puts them in BabyвЂ™s car. At least, thatвЂ™s the name he gives people when asked, although heвЂ™s more often ignored. Yes, his name is вЂњB-A-B-Y, BabyвЂќ ( Ansel Elgort).

ItвЂ™s as much fun as youвЂ™re going to have in a movie theater this year. вЂњBaby DriverвЂќ feels both influenced by the modern era of self-aware, pop-culture filmmaking and charmingly old-fashioned at the same time, which is only one of its minor miracles. Much like Baby turns the world around him into music, writer/director Edgar Wright remixes the movies and tunes that have influenced him into the wildly joyous and fantastically entertaining вЂњBaby Driver.вЂќ As CGI robots clang into each other and superheroes take to the sky, hereвЂ™s Wright to ask if you remember how movies used to thrill us with a turn of phrase, a squeal of a wheel, a diving plot twist, or a romantic kiss. The first one we see him create is called вЂњWas He Slow,вЂќ using a question asked by an accomplice about BabyвЂ™s mental capacity as a hook. He records conversations had around him (almost always around and not with him) on an old-fashioned mini-cassette recorder, and then mixes them into songs with some wonderfully antiquated keyboard and rhythm equipment. Baby is a young man who creates remixes of his life.
