Frank, who was in a wrongful prison, certainly did not succumb to this prison life that strictly restricted freedom. When he found out that the real murderer of his wife was in this prison, he was even more uneasy about the status quo. In the battle of life and death, he passed the level by level and won each and every time, and finally jumped out of the rules of the game, successfully escaped, and gave the behind-the-scenes trader a fatal end, avenging his deep hatred.
This is a very direct violent action movie. The story is a bit like the blockbuster drama "The Shawshank Redemption" in the late 1920s. They were all accused of killing their wives and wrongfully imprisoned. In the two films, there are conversations about being institutionalized in prisons and depictions of prison friendships, but here it is full of blood and excitement, and it is more passionate and energetic in comparison.
Because it is an imagination of the future economic situation of the United States, it is also worth watching in terms of plot description. The economy was sluggish, and in the last two weeks before the factory closed down, Frank, who worked for nearly 120 hours, only received 300 yuan in remuneration. Getting the salary from Frank is a hungry look and a heavy back, which profoundly shows the cruelty of society. The prison is trying to make money by opening a game like Death Speed ​​​​to win the ratings of many audiences.
Like the end of the world in 2012, the scenario of the US economy in 2012 reflected in the film is an imagination and guess of the future by the director. The content of the story is obviously unreal, but to please the public in this way, Not only has the effect of entertainment, but also has practical significance and enlightenment.
As the world's largest economic power, the United States has deep-rooted capitalism and high-speed development of science and technology. On the contrary, the phenomenon of private ownership of its means of production is becoming more and more serious. Private ownership of enterprises, private ownership of banks, and even prisons imagined by screenwriters are entering private ownership. In this greedy private society, it is conceivable that people will do whatever they can for their own interests, but no matter what stage the society develops, justice will never fall.
A hero emerges from troubled times. Frank appeared on the screen as a hero who saved troubled times. For his wife, for his daughter, and even to expose the warden's deceitful conspiracy, he stepped forward and finally defeated evil after three life-and-death contests. , to be free.
The protagonist was framed and imprisoned. He was supposed to live a happy family life, but suddenly his wife was assassinated inexplicably, his daughter disappeared, and he was also bound in this prison of violence and ridicule. Under the circumstances, how can people not have the idea of ​​running away? How can people not break free from the shackles of this layer of restraint?
The tighter the bondage, the deeper the traces of the dream will be in the heart. It is also destined that he will break the shackles and live a free life. It is conceivable how good Frank's mood must have been when he successfully escaped from prison after avenging his revenge. Just like a bird caught from the woods and kept in a cage as a plaything, when the owner opens the cage with mercy one day, he will fly freely and fully enjoy the embrace of nature.
At the end of the film, two tough guys are repairing a car in a Philadelphia in Mexico, Frank is holding his daughter, the golden morning sun shines on their happy faces, this situation, this scene, how beautiful, a new day Coming soon, their lives are no longer broken and their future is bright.
The hardships of life will pass, and we will always bathe in the sunshine, letting you and me infect that temperature.

Death Race quotes

  • Hennessey: This prison is the home to murderers, rapists, and violent offenders of every kind. The United States Penal System sends me the worst of the worst. But the men you've provoked, well, let's just say Mr. Ames that the life term you've joined us for may be a lot shorter than you think.

    Jensen Ames: I understand tradition. Shuffling up the new guy, having an ass slapping good time up my butthole...

    [Jensen is hit in the side by Ulrich]

    Hennessey: Foul language... is an issue... for me. While looking over your record, I couldn't help noticing your occupational history. It seems you have some talent behind the wheel. Out of curiosity, when was the last time you raced?

    Jensen Ames: It's been a while. I lost my license.

    Hennessey: What if I could help you?

    Jensen Ames: Get my license back?

    Hennessey: I had something else in mind. You're familiar with the Death Race, and the driver the fans call Frankenstein. A man so disfigured by crashes that he's forced to wear a mask. His return to the track is highly anticipated, and therein lies my problem. No one knows yet, but poor Frank died on an operating table not long after his last race. Anyone can wear the mask, but not just anyone can drive the car. You have the skills required to keep the legend alive. I want you to become Frankenstein.

    Jensen Ames: No thanks. He's dead. Why don't you just tell the truth?

    Hennessey: The audience wants to see Frank again. He moves them. Inspires them. And in this world that's not easy to come by.

    Jensen Ames: What makes you think for a second I would risk my life doing this for you?

    Hennessey: Win five races, you go free. Those are the rules, and Frank has won four. Win one more, you walk. Call it intuition, but I don't think you belong in here with the rest of these animals.

    Jensen Ames: I might surprise you.

    Hennessey: The race is Friday, and I need your decision. You're a skilled driver. You're chances are good. I'm offering you your freedom, Mr. Ames. If it's not worth risking your life for, what is?

  • Lists: Jensen Garner Ames. Moved to the states at twenty-four years old. Named after a car, the Jensen Interceptor. A three time local speedway champion.

    Jensen Ames: You've done your homework, or do you just know everything?

    Coach: Jensen Interceptor. I had one. Handled like a school bus.
