This film was released in China 20 days earlier than in the United States. We are very proud of this treatment, although it is very rare. Most of the impressions of the first batch of receipts are: the picture is awesome and exciting, but the story is relatively weak. Is the truth really like this?
Not to mention the advantages, the story of the disadvantage part is not necessarily weak. The film is a single-line story similar to the police catching a thief. The advantage of this is that it is relatively smooth and easy to understand, but there is a watershed in the real understanding. It is like another meaning of the title of the film, "breaking point". In this extreme sports The point is the key point. In fact, the story is to express a big proposition. Where is the value of man? What is our dream? What to do when your dream is shattered? The video gives the answer or a direction. In fact, the male protagonist Johnny walked into the so-called bright side with self-blame and healing, but the Bowdys, who represent the ultimate challengers, gave an answer that ordinary people cannot understand: Human beings are in order to maintain their own interests and order. Excessively eroding the resources of Mother Earth, this is not far from destruction. They will use their own means to challenge their own limits, and get "rewards" to give back to Mother Earth until the end of their lives. They also hope that Johnny will witness and spread the word, so that the value and sacrifice of their lives will not be in vain. All in all, it's an environmental theme. Ozaki, the inventor of the eight ultimate challenges, did not finish, because he was still walking the traditional way of hitting stones with eggs, but Bowdy took a different path, using the name of "crime" to actively attack the spoils of the greedy and challenge himself To raise funds. He's done his whole journey, so how will Johnny go his own way in the future?
The screen design at the end of the film also fits the theme. It is a reproduction of each extreme challenge, but the difference is that the line is marked, which means that each of them has their own route choices, and their own path is determined by themselves. Others have nothing to do, even life and death, I like it very much. Should be included in one of the best end credits designs of the year.
The front-end performance of the film is still quite satisfactory. What impressed me was the heroine and the second male lead. The heroine's figure and appearance were impeccable. Unfortunately, the film was still reduced to a vase, and there was no more exploration. The male No. 2 Bowdy's performance is very lethal. At first glance, his face is expressionless, and this is precisely the style of a leader. He is not impulsive, and he has everything under control, which reflects his superb genius ability. Until the final farewell show, the audience, like Johnny, was still full of regrets and regrets for him. There was always an unfathomable depth and firmness in his eyes.
Director Cole is still very familiar with extreme sports. His main subject is camera, and he is very experienced in speed stunt pictures. He is also the main cameraman of "Fast and Furious".
Many scenes in this film have the shadow of different classic movies. For example, the scene of the motorcycle jumping over the canyon at the beginning reminds me of the final drive over the cliff in the ending of a classic movie "The End of the Road". Although the purpose is different and the ending is different, it has the same Shocking scene design.
The famous mountaineering film "K2" also uses many elements in this film, such as the psychedelic dance hall, the protagonist's brilliant and uninhibited character, and rock climbing.
The last super wave reminds people of "Perfect Storm".
The scenes of robbing the diamond processing point and the cash plane are very similar to the behavior of the clown in "The Dark Knight". Is it a tribute? Face it calmly, without fear of life and death. See you again after death, SEE YOU SOON.
This film is a collection of extreme sports themes. Regardless of the content and picture performance, it is a bold concentration and collection, with more daring robbery than ever, surfing greater than ever, and more thrilling wing suits than ever before. Flying, alpine skiing is harder than ever, rock climbing is the hardest, motocross is the deadliest, diving is the most terrifying... As for whether the steps will be too big, I can't say yet. At least occupy an important hill.
