The origin of graffiti is not good, and the four elements of hip-hop are always associated with the negative aspects of young people such as violence, rebellion, crime, drug trafficking, alcohol, and poverty. The "Red Brick Special Zone" of "Violence Neighborhood" is such a place. There are also many graffiti in the film, which perfectly matches the connotation of the entire film. Not only that, graffiti has never compromised with the art of traditional art museums, and the "Red Brick Special Zone" has never compromised with the well-dressed orthodox government, even if it is isolated!
The change in the protagonist's understanding of the meaning of his career and the value of his life is also the epitome of the development of graffiti. The neutral identity, maverick, strong support, and even the infinite energy of the whole parkour process of the protagonist 2, in my opinion, is the imprint of the contemporary urban graffiti spirit. Don't ask for recognition, just stick to yourself, Mark; don't ask for integration, just have a tolerant dialogue, and spare no effort to find a way to coexist.
To be honest, the expectations for the film were not high, I never thought that this action film is still worth watching, although the plot can't stand up to any scrutiny, at least it feels like it can't be filmed in China.
