Hollywood B-level movies refer to movies that are produced and shot on a low budget. Unlike the usual blockbusters, there are no big stars and no big scenes. Nearly half a century has passed since the golden age of B-rated films, and it is even harder to see B-rated films in the United States on the mainland screens. The recently released "Furious Speed" is an action movie that pays tribute to the old B-level film in texture, but it is well-made and has a special theme, which can definitely stimulate the various senses of the Chinese people.
Nicholas Cage plays the actor Milton, a dead guy who escapes from hell in order to save his granddaughter from the enemy and obtain salvation. Hell and the world, the dead and the living, vengeance and justice, all look like a B-level film that does my part. With this surrealist theme backed up, there are no logical problems with the various statements, props, and various pull styles in the film. Friends who want to find the roots and are willing to study can stop.
Amber Heard plays the heroine Piper, and her appearance with Cage is accompanied by foul language, punches and kicks. Although Piper is young and beautiful, he is bullied by her boyfriend and the shopkeeper. This is in line with Milton, a visitor from hell who is on the road of revenge. However, the two were not very pleasing to each other at first. When I checked into the hotel, I separated into two rooms. Piper on one side asked the naked man to trim his ankles, while on the other side, Milton and the barmaid worked enthusiastically. The "accountants" sent by the great villain cult leader and the hell lord Satan to hunt down Milton are even more powerful, threatening Milton's revenge plan at all times. If the judge thinks that the B-level film is just a trio of story mode, then it would be a big mistake. The various senses that can be stimulated by B-level films are in addition to the horror and erotic "desire and welcome" types of radio and television. There are also a large number of bizarre and funny ridicules that make the audience laugh endlessly or low-level or high-level jokes and Bridge section. In "Furious Speed", it is the American police and the bartenders, gas station employees, hotel owners, etc. that are commonly seen in various highway movies that are responsible for this important task. In the B-level film concept that advocates the supremacy of the senses and the confrontation between good and evil, the funny injuries of these soy sauce characters have become an indispensable laugh.
The climax of the film is that Milton used the weapons of hell to "bring to justice" the enemies of the cult: the way it ends is not at all muddle-headed, and there is no "infernal" type of long-term confrontation with guns. The special effects of the picture also refer to the special techniques before the CG era. The high-contrast light and shadow special effects are highly inconsistent with the original picture, but they emphasize the characteristics of surrealism. Milton exhausted his last bit of strength, entrusted his granddaughter to Piper who was fighting with him, and then went away peacefully. Just when the audience thought that Shenma's B-level film was also a path of warmth and sacrifice, Milton and the accountant leisurely drove back to hell in a famous car.
Sure enough, this is a B-level film, always unexpected,
