With the bad news on November 30, 2013, Paul Walker left us forever, so most fans began to publicize their negativity towards Super 8 and their memory of Paul. I don't agree with the first half, but please allow me to express my condolences

Closer to home, when I was watching movies in middle school, I tended to focus on the looks of the actors and the gorgeous special effects. This was the purpose of my first pursuit of the Fast and Furious series. After college, I was more inclined to research. Characters, lines, and shooting and production methods. The characters and production methods of Fast 8 are undoubtedly a success in my opinion.

At the beginning of the film, Lao Fan came to a hell-style drag racing, which instantly ignited the emotions of the audience in the screening hall. With the gorgeous appearance of Rodriguez, the film also gave an explanation of the emotional lines of the hero and heroine. One wave after another, Charlize's appearance is the beginning of the main line of the film, and it is also the main theme of the film, the redemption of family and friendship.

With the temporary disconnection of Lao Fan. A bunch of good friends of Dowson and Jason have temporarily joined the protagonist group, and although our Judy is disappointed with Lao Fan, she still has a bond with Lao Fan and her partners. And the appearance of old sister Fan, Elena and Brian in the middle, the expression of family affection is undoubtedly obvious.

The whole movie is mostly the same as the previous ones, all kinds of fancy racing, the head should be crooked, the song should be hilarious, the car can be driven like a rocket, then let’s talk about the shooting and production level of Super 8.

There are almost no still pictures in the whole movie, and even if there are, it is extremely short. According to the encyclopedia, when there are many pictures, some lens groups will use 10 Alexa on site, and other cameras include AlexaXT M, Sony F55 and Red Epic Dragon. In addition, the film uses a combination of real shooting and CG special effects in the shooting. There are enough cameras to keep the picture from awkward pauses, and the lens is very compact, and the use of lens language is also clever. If there are too many pauses in the scenes of an action movie, the whole story will collapse, and the audience's finally ignited emotions will be instantly extinguished. This is the point. The Super 8 is very good.

Hollywood-level directors have never needed much doubt. They will use their imagination very well and translate it into lens language, and use their brains to direct post-editing, and there are as many as 7 super 8 main characters (personally think that. , including a child) in the rhythm of the plot dialogue, can also deal with the rhythm of the plot, but also can clearly express the story line and character of each character, on the one hand thanks to the superb level of the actors, on the other hand . It is the director's ability, and as a fast-paced Super 8, it must have real-life and CG special effects scenes, and it must fully create a scene of tension unique to crime films. Unintentionally, Super 8 is successful.

The flames of hell start with the hot action and end with the thrilling action of extreme speed drifting on the ice surface. Whether it is an action commercial or a plot crime commercial, it is a success. The single-line plot will not make the whole movie too long and complicated, but it is clear at a glance. Dad is racing with his life. Save the child. that's enough. Some people will say that the screenwriter is too superficial, too straight to the point of commercial films, the special effects are flying all over the sky, and the plot is not rigorous, but I feel that the Fast and the Furious series is a story that is simply learned by people. , So to say that the post-Paul era Super 8 is not good enough, I can only say that it is to watch the movie, not to watch Paul.

As Lao Fan gets older, Paul dies, and Rodriguez is no longer beautiful, we know that Fast and Furious may not be with us for a long time. Just like the Avengers, it may be the end of the series. It is unbearable and a little sad. I only hope that this bloody story will be released in theaters again, bringing us a gorgeous audio-visual feast!
