Beauty or pleasure?

Point the causes and solutions of all contradictions to racing cars, disregarding the safety of others in the busy city and on the highway. The protagonist drives all top models and top-level configurations such as Ford Mustang, Lamborghini, Bugatti Veyron - let alone these elements in reality In life, even if it appears in a movie, it is ridiculous, and it is probably only acceptable to players in the game. The movie based on the famous game "Need for Speed" did not make great efforts to rationalize the above-mentioned unreasonable elements, in order to meet the requirements of game fans as much as possible.
However, since it is a movie, there must be a story anyway: the three-person racing car killed people, and the male protagonist took the blame. After he was released from prison, he went to the racing ground for a long distance, in order to get revenge and clear his name, and finally staged it on the track. season finale. A very simple plot, not so much adding a car to the story, but adding a story to the racing paragraph. When I was watching this film, I remembered the feeling of watching Jackie Chan martial arts films back then. I was talking about the lines, and suddenly there was a fight. In this film, when I was acting, I suddenly started racing. It is estimated that the director is also not very confident in the coherence of the story and the expression of inner emotions. There are a lot of commentary scenes for the founder of the mysterious game played by Michael Keaton. The uncle vomited in front of the microphone and the camera was a joy.
What about the racing section that sacrificed the storyline in exchange for it? In terms of the alignment, rhythm and performance of the car's performance and driving skills, compared to the "Fast and Furious" series that have been popular in recent years, the new film "The Fast and the Furious" at the end of last year and many other racing-themed films, and The "007 series", which are always refurbished on limited racing bridges, are much inferior, and it must have something to do with the scale of investment. But here we have to be thankful that this is a movie adapted from a game. The appearance of the most common "obstacle elements" in the game makes people's eyes shine: the villain offers high rewards to encourage people to stop the male protagonist from participating in the competition, so the drivers show their own The part where you can start blocking and chasing, and even the cement tanker goes into battle, makes people feel nervous and fun. Even if you know that the protagonist will escape, you can still guess how he escaped, and the result is that he was hoisted by a helicopter! With the hoisted car, our eyes wandered between the mountains and mountains, and we knew in our hearts that this was just switching a game scene, but it was a really cool scene.
As a spectator who has always loved watching racing cars for many years, it is a pity that I did not get much from the perspective of racing cars when I watched this film, and the feeling of getting excitement from the beauty of the car is something I have not been able to experience as a female audience. However, when I was chatting with a game fan friend, I thought his sentence was very interesting: "I hope this movie is a subjective perspective, don't let me see the male protagonist driving, it is best to give me the feeling that I am driving"—— But isn't this a game... This makes me guess the target audience of this film. If it is a game fan, even if there are obstacles and beautiful scenes in the film, it will definitely not be as exciting as the game; if it is a non-game fan When the movie sacrifices the story, characters, creativity, technology, etc., and lacks the due beauty, can the audience really be satisfied after watching it?
