However, does this quest for revenge truly make him evil? I am willing to argue that, like Baby, Buddy is simply another victim to his environment. On the other hand, Buddy - while easy-going and perhaps one of the most likeable characters in the beginning - does everything in his power to hunt down Baby and avenge his girlfriend Darling’s death. Doc is manipulative and the mastermind behind every operation, and yet, we can still see some goodness for Baby, even after years of exploiting him for his personal benefit. So what truly makes a person bad? If “Baby Driver” tries to convey anything, it’s that a person’s actions are not the sole indicators of a person’s goodness. He warns an employee of the heist he is about to be a part of, and even gives an old lady her purse back after he steals her car. Although Baby is talented at what he does and uses this talent for a life of crime, we know Baby is still a good person. Even though Baby commits numerous crimes, Wright illustrates how he is also a victim - not just a petty criminal without a motive.
“Baby Driver” teaches us that good and evil are not always as black and white as they may seem.
In the spirit of post Valentine’s Day, we can look into Baby Driver’s main theme of the forces of good and evil, and what role love plays in them. Edgar Wright’s latest movie, “Baby Driver,” provides audiences with drama, action and romance, all rolled up into one packed film.
