Humans' pursuit of speed has never stopped since ancient times. Thousands of years ago, the Olympic creed started with "faster" and led the era of human running. After the car appeared, the pursuit of speed found a new sustenance. Einstein believed that speed can make people go back to the past, so it seems that human's yearning for speed is actually a kind of nostalgic impulse, or it sounds like a pioneer of time and space travel. In any case, the roar of the engine and the feeling of galloping speed always make people's blood boil, maybe it's just nature. However, in this eventful autumn, both the most luxurious track and the ordinary civilian trot all lose their luster due to economic reasons. So nowadays, the screen seems to be the safest way to realize the dream.
Universal also moved the film's schedule two months earlier, from June 12 to April 3. It is said that the release dates of the first three "Fast and the Furious" are concentrated in the summer of June (June 22, 2001, June 6, 2003, June 16, 2006), but this time is unprecedented. It was released in the spring, which also pushed "Wolfman", which was originally planned to be released on April 3, to November. Of course, it is also possible that "Wolfman" bounced to the rescue. However, in the past two years, the Spring Festival seems to have changed its bad image as a concentration camp for bad movies. "300", "Houghton and Anonymous" and other films were all booming in the deserted spring season, creating a huge box office and a good reputation, and even ranked among the top in the Hollywood movie box office. Universal should also see the unlimited potential of the spring file.
This film obviously does not have much power to win awards, and its biggest purpose is to collect money for the master. Racing movies have always been a traditional big draw. Last year's "Death Speed" earned double the revenue, and the "Fast and Furious" series is often able to recover 10 times the revenue from the pockets of fans. The racing box-office champion of Tom Cruise's "DAYS OF THUNDER" for 10 years was successfully surpassed by the first "Fast and Furious" in 2001, followed by "Fast and Furious 2" in 2003 again. Take the second place at the box office. This record was not broken until 2006 by the Oscar for best animated feature "Cars". However, the same year's "Fast and Furious 3" was a bad start, setting the lowest box office in the film series. In addition to the content of the film, the reason for this is the change of actors is the biggest influencing factor. Therefore, in order to ensure the box office in this film, in addition to playing the "End Chapter" banner, Universal also did not forget to recall all the actors in the first film, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, two old partners and Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez and the two hot girls are all back.
The first film of
"The Fast and the Furious" has always been regarded as the best one in the series, and then one is inferior to the other. The last "Tokyo Drift" has created the worst "Fast and Furious" so far, and will this film continue the bear market or make a successful Jedi counterattack?
At the beginning of the trailer, a series of foot chase scenes almost make people suspect that "Fast and the Furious" will play parkour in this film, but the next scene let us know that this is just a declaration, announcing that this film "The Fast and the Furious" will create the most hardcore and hottest scenes in the series. In fact, the film is immersed in a kind of tension from beginning to end. Whether it is action fighting or racing chase, people feel unprecedented explosive power and spare no effort to vent. Although we only saw a complete race car from start to finish, the surprises wrapped in the entire film have far exceeded our expectations. It is no exaggeration to say that the box office of this film exceeding 100 million is just around the corner, and its level is at least comparable to that of the first film. I hope this film can once again create a miracle in the spring.
