After two years of waiting, two file changes.
The Hollywood giant is finally here.
The pre-sale exceeded 100 million, and the box office approached 900 million in 3 days .
These days, there are really not many movies that can keep Chinese audiences up late to watch midnight shows.
But it's definitely one of them.
Whether it's a fun picture or a feeling.
This year is still not to be missed-
"Fast and Furious 9"
From the first film released in 2001 to the present, the "Fast and Furious" series has gone through 20 years.
Nine movies + one rumor.
As well as the future "Fast 10" and "Fast 10 Down", it constitutes a huge "Fast Universe" .
In the past 20 years, it has been the same team, the same core creator, and even the same actor...
Look around, only one.
In the past 20 years, this series has left fans with too many impressive drag racing scenes...
After all, the biggest feature of this series is "drag racing" .
The roaring engine, cool overtaking technology, and sky-defying operation techniques, every burning scene is enough to detonate adrenaline.
However, only racing is too narrow, so the plot develops to the end, when there are more and more characters and the plot becomes more and more complicated, some elements of action movies are added.
Agents, gunfights, cops, conspiracies...
A variety of elements are gathered, and its core is no longer the competition and collision of cars and cars, but a great attempt to constantly break through the imagination.
As long as Boss Tang is on the road, there is no place the car will not reach.
Looking back at the entire series, the name of director Justin Lin is absolutely striking.
He directed the 3-6 installments of the Fast and Furious series, and the four films raked in $1.9 billion .
Is the director who really pushed the series into Hollywood A-level work in one fell swoop.
After filming the sixth film, Justin Lin made it clear that he would not continue directing, which made many fans feel sorry.
Unexpectedly, a few years later, Justin Lin will not only return again, but will also direct the last three films in one breath, which has rekindled hope for many fans.
The plot of this "Fast and Furious 9" closely follows the ending of the previous one.
After completing the task, "Boss Tang", his wife Letty, and their son Brian lived a peaceful life away from the troubles.
Until one day, he received a distress video from Mr. Anonymous on the plane, and Boss Tang wanted to ignore it.
But the restless gene in his heart made him decide to return to the arena again.
But I didn't expect the opponent for this mission.
It was his brother Jacob , who was left behind .
Before that, Boss Tang, who attached great importance to family affection, had no real blood relatives around him.
So when Jacob went live, no one from fans and bikers wasn't shocked.
Because of various entanglements in his youth, Jacob has always lived in the shadow of Boss Tang.
Dedicated to surpassing and replacing Boss Tang.
Over the years, he has continued to break through himself and become a professional driver, just to compete with Boss Tang one day.
Driven by this ambition, Jacob and Boss Tang's former nemesis—
The terrorists Cypher join forces in an attempt to destroy the world .
And the car accident of the father, who was regarded by Boss Tang as unforgettable, was not so simple.
What's going on, Mr. Pumpkin won't give any spoilers.
From the plot point of view, "Furious 9" is still a familiar formula.
The bikers discover a shocking secret while on a mission, and save the world while feeling family love.
Within the framework of this story, there are naturally exciting shootouts, drag racing and explosion scenes .
At the same time, the action scene of this step is also fully upgraded——
There are only things you can't think of, and there's nothing that Boss Tang can't do.
Brave minefields
air racing
The technique is versatile, the operation is gorgeous, and various visual wonders are displayed in a stacked manner.
Furthermore, the most surprising thing about the film is that the main characters of the "Fast and Furious" series all appeared in this film.
Han is resurrected and Mia joins .
The drift duo that appeared in Fast and Furious 3 also formed the maintenance team.
Even the dead Giselle (Gal Gadot) briefly makes a reminiscence in the flashback.
This wave of carnival has caused too many fans to fall into the memory of killing, which is moving.
After 20 years of "Fast and Furious" series, it has already transitioned from street culture to crime action blockbusters .
In the ninth part, Justin Lin's bonus to "Fast and Furious" is visible to the naked eye.
It cost 200 cars, and the special effects and props can be seen to be of a very high industrial level.
It's like constantly introducing new action designs;
Also, stick to live-action shooting and try your best to create a sense of tension.
Although many people can't accept these actions that violate physical common sense, and the protagonist with too strong aura.
"Fast and Furious" is indeed unrealistic, and this unreality is also its charm.
After watching "Fast Furious 9", Mr. Pumpkin has been reflecting: What is it that attracts us to this series?
Many people classify "Fast and Furious" as an action movie, a crime movie, and some even ridicule it as a science fiction movie.
But Mr. Pumpkin felt that it exuded a "jianghu atmosphere" .
It is estimated that every man was convinced by the charm of Boss Tang in his youth.
The reason is that in addition to being a tough guy with a beautiful car, he is also a "perfect man" who takes care of his family and is loyal.
His "speed" comes from pure love for racing, and his "passion" comes from his unreserved family.
He has always longed for freedom and is always desperate, but his family is his "soft underbelly", and he is always afraid that his family will be implicated.
Even his speeding party team is like a family.
Their emotional bond has long surpassed blood relationship, a group of rootless people, grouped together in pursuit of freedom.
"Furious 9" Although the box office is not as high as the previous peaks.
But it is obvious to the naked eye that it is still an enduring big IP.
There will be a tenth part next, and it is said that the tenth part, as the last part of the series, will be split into two episodes.
And the extras of Guoda Statham and Dwayne Johnson are still on the way.
A story, good or bad, has an ending.
I hope that 20 years of compressed memories will finally have a perfect ending.
