But the elements of this film are basically true (such occupations, real street scenes, far-reaching delivery addresses, legendary snakeheads, smearing methods, and nosy old beauty)
1. About bicycle messengers.
Why does it exist. Because metropolitan traffic is blocked globally. . . Especially in places like the city center, parking is very inconvenient. Bicycles are different. There are no parking restrictions. Just find a telephone pole and tie such a thick chain to it. There are not so many restrictions on driving on the street (one-way streets, traffic lights), so they are fast and have advantages, especially the kind of express delivery that has to be delivered from Wall Street to Midtown within a few hours.
About that chain, it's true! ! ! ! ! ! !
When you are in Manhattan, you are more likely to see the "Chinese food delivery" couriers. They don't necessarily wear helmets, but they definitely carry a chain that is so thick and so thick on their shoulders.
Having said that, Manhattan’s well-developed subway system is actually very convenient, so such courier companies also specialize in delivery by subway. It is safe and fast, and it is guaranteed to be delivered within 2 hours. Moreover, there is a GPS express tracking system that is'every minute'. Compared with FEDEX, which is updated once a day, UPS is awesome.
Like the road in the movie, from the Upper West Side to China Town, there is a two-hour time limit. Basically, the orange line can be used to reach it. What effort does it take to find a biker?
Of course, if this is strengthened, this movie will be nothing to make. The reason for the resolution in the film is that the role of little Joseph is worthy of the trust of the Asian woman.
2. The live
shooting in New York must be in New York, and the post stunts are probably done in Los Angeles.
There was a university on 135th Street where you first picked up the package. It looks like CUNY City College. It
should be along the Broadway that runs through Manhattan, because when you get to the Upper West Side, there is a green belt in the middle like Park Ave.
110th Street is the northern end of Central Park, so it makes sense to go around 100th Street. Only running and biking are allowed on that section of the road, and there are very few people.
Out of the park is Columbus Circle, then down to Times Square, and down to 28th Street where the bad police stationed is the Flower District, where many flower shops are stationed. So there are indeed a lot of flowers and plants ~ ~ 28th Street to Chinatown has nothing special, no wonder it has faded.
The NYPD warehouse also looked like it was between 50-60 streets on the west side, or it might be on the Chelsea pier side. I couldn't get it right. As for whether this is the case internally, I don't even know.
3. Doyers Street
Chinatown is a very meaningful street. It is only one block long, but it is one of the first three streets in Chinatown. The middle turn is called the Bloody Angle. . . Listening to the name is very domineering~~ It
was black before. help. fire. Spell famous. There were really gangs in Chinatown before, and they were really as bloody as in Hong Kong movies. . . Chinese people mentioned in the movie The Godfather Russians grab business is really, very early in New York as well as famous rogue Jews, Irish, colored descent, talented people ~ ~
I did not believe, then a classmate told me it was really Yes, because his uncle is suspected of murdering several people, so far in prison, he can't be seen in his life.
Of course, you can't see such bloody things now. This is due to the fact that the second and third generations of Chinatown immigrants have been Americanized and actively cooperated with the police to kill the gangsters. You can still go to see this street, go to the long-established Nanhua tea room to sit in the seat where the big guys used to sit before, ha ha.
4. Snake head, snake head,
well, they are real.
My friend asked me if there are any people who come from this channel around me? Yes, of course! A lot more! ! ! ! !
The first people who came here legally were Taishan laborers, and later the bourgeoisie fled, and they couldn't hold up to many people. Without our family-oriented, hard-working and thrifty FF immigrants, how can you imagine that the Chinatown of San Tiao Street has just expanded to annex small towns? Italy's point? How can you see "Beijing People in New York" which was popular all over the country and brutally attacked the "American Dream" of Chinese people?
but. . . 'Snakeheads who don't fly by plane are not good snakeheads'! ! ! !
This is what N FF immigrants who have lived in New York for more than 10 years told me. so, they all come to Meididi by handjob. Ten years ago! ! ! !
They said that this kind of snakehead basically did not do business after doing business once, and its reputation is not good.
Containers are even more excessive, it is purely a ticket to get out of the way, no! Specialize! industry!
But there are still people who go to pay the money because of the low prices. Ugh!
In the movie, the Asian girl who speaks unsatisfactorily in Mandarin took at least US$40,000 to US$50,000. This price is very fair and should be taken by plane. It's also something I don't feel right about. But why do you still take a ship in the film? I guess it counts as two people (mother + son) and the per capita price is low? Or is it easier to hide in a freighter than in a freighter?
5. Despicable China, this nasty proposition is
about Mao's son cannot be separated from China. Personally think this reason is far-fetched.
There are too
many articles on this topic. I don’t believe that people who write some articles must guard against it. This kind of topic must be banned internationally if someone died abnormally or fled to India. Screenwriter, you TMD too despise our ZF.
However, this kind of phenomenon is also common. There are many people who hear hearsay, and there are many screenwriters who hear hearsay. Even if the screenwriter knows, people have to take care of the political orientation of the audience group to get more box office profits.
In another film, Looper, Joseph also has such a scene that destroys the image of China: The future world will use RMB as the main currency in circulation. . . Really advanced black! ! ! ! !
6. Nosy + self-righteous old beauty
One's own people write one's own person is still in the woods. I feel that the personalities of the three couriers fit these two characteristics.
Joseph was just for work in the beginning. Nosy happened after he knew the truth. But he is absolutely crazy to ride without brakes.
Beauty Express also participated in the activity of grabbing letters because of guilt.
As for the muscular man, that is the standard self-righteous typical. But after they were cut by NYPD, didn't they rush to Chinatown to cut the brain-disabled policeman?
The gambler police are too fake and far-fetched. After a while, they were cut off by others, and when they turned around, they cut them off. What did you do earlier? Do you not know how to mobilize the police if you chase a bike in a police car all over the street? Anyway, it is not the first abuse of private power! Knowing that the money was prepared by the mother for the son, I don’t care at all. It’s a bit too much, because usually fools have nothing to do with cold blood! ! !
But the bicycle policeman is a more witty episode.
All in all, it can be regarded as a fast-food entertainment film: fast passion + mother-child love + gangster fight + smuggling immigrants + New York real shots + handsome men and beautiful girls ++++ Three common screenwriters
just walked out of the movie theater, or don't try bicycles without brakes.
