"Violence Block 13": Parkour on the big stage

I saw a video a few years ago, and the people in it are omnipotent, and they are really better than stunts. So I came to know the term "Parkour", the extreme sports on the street. For them, any obstacle can be easily crossed, which is very ornamental.

We always admire the vastness and profoundness of Chinese martial arts. The powerful people can go up and down without hindrance, but basically they only exist in fantasy, and the visual impression basically comes from the heroic characters in the film and television pictures. After watching the parkour video, I sighed that such people really exist. No matter how high the room is or how far the span is, they can always break through easily with the help of anything on the wall. It seems that today's buildings can't stumped them. After all, there are very few bare houses. Even if there is a gap to grab a hand or a slate to stand on, it can be a springboard.

Characters with such abilities, to be honest, if they are used to do bad things, it is really difficult to catch them immediately, it is too flexible. Rooftops, stairs, sewers, as long as there are buildings, it is too easy to escape, and you can turn around and disappear from your sight. How to catch them? ! Of course, it is not easy to achieve such a consummate skill, without years of hard training and the destruction of the body, it is impossible to achieve. Watching the performances of the two heroes in the film without stand-ins, I have to be amazed again and again, it's amazing!

Now it is the fictional year 2010 in the film, and the scene in the film has not been realized. Even if it is violent and chaotic, it will not reach the point of isolation or even destruction. But similar ideas have appeared in many European and American films. For the future, it is difficult to say that one day, isolation will not be used to prevent darkness from immersing in orthodox civilization. However, the resulting consequences still cannot guarantee the healthy development of civilization. After all, it is also a force that promotes society from its occurrence to its resolution. The ending of the film also alludes to this return, and perhaps the most original is the most correct.
