Not much gossip, from the point of view of the movie, the personnel configuration is reasonable. In the original version, Cyril Rafaeli next to David Bailey is also a master of parkour. In the film, David Bailey is alone In charge of parkour, while Rafaeli is in shootout, fighting, and parkour. In "The Violent Neighborhood", the role was replaced by Paul Walker. The two protagonists have a clear division of labor. David is focused on parkour, while Paul is responsible for gunfights and drag racing. The role assignment is more in line with the role settings of contemporary movies.
Let's talk about parkour. After ten years, David Bailey is not only as good as before, but also has more tricks. For example, in the opening scene, David no longer relies on parkour alone to avoid the pursuit of gangsters, but uses parkour + fighting. During the period, relying on a large number of terrains and props to fight a bloody road, although the mode is very similar to the old version, there are many more fancy skills during the period, from photography, editing to action rhythm. Metal music has become American hip-pop, and the rest is basically the same. This scene also defines the tone of the film. The whole picture is like a gourd, but it only makes a fuss about the details and perception.
The production has been upgraded, the rhythm has been accelerated, the proportion of action scenes has increased, and there are many tricks. If there is no old version, "Violence Block" must be an amazing work. However, because of the existence of the old version, the new version of "Violence Neighborhood" gives people a feeling of deja vu. As a screenwriter and producer, Luc Besson must know the audience's escalating taste after ten years, so he adjusted the script, such as changing the heroine's identity from a sister to a girlfriend, the villain, from the Wudang faction The role played by RZA, the lead singer of the rap band, was reversed in the second half to enrich the plot.
In the end, justice becomes evil, and evil becomes justice. Right or wrong, how to choose? Think about it, in reality, some people are not just words of justice, but they do despicable deeds, and some people do injustice in order to make a living. . . . .
