High enough, enough to burn, easy to kill for more than 2 hours, plus the appropriate nostalgia and sensational ending song "See you again", the seventh part jumped to the highest peak of the "Fast and Furious" series.
By the standards of cinematic art, the "Fast and the Furious" franchise is lackluster. It's no wonder that the British "Ace Agent", who is known as a gentleman, has not forgotten to mock the superficiality of Americans.
But in terms of scene setting and picture presentation, "Fast and Furious 7" has reached the extreme. If sports cars and firearms are modern men's clothes and angry horses, how to match them to create a splendid effect directly determines the success or failure of the series. The earlier platoon drifting and capturing the police station were just "side dishes", and the plot settings after that have become more sophisticated: battle tanks, planes, and everything.
Genre films are made into series, and the most taboo is the decline of the river.
"Fast and the Furious" is in the seventh part, and there is doubt about what tricks can be made. The film gives a resounding response: skydiving over the mountains of Azerbaijan, stealing the sky at the Prince of Jordan's extravagant party, driving only 7 cars in the world The Lycan sports car jumped twice between the skyscrapers of Abu Dhabi and completed the handover of people from car to car under the nearly suffocating cover of terrorist drones and missiles.
"I drove over mountains and seas, and through crowds," said Toledo and O'Connor.
It is not easy to make up the above bridges, and it is even more difficult to realize it with special effects and images.
In Part 7, the amnesiac Letty, the retired O'Connor, the injured Hobbs, and the dead Han, a few simple explanations lead to the "Devil" agent Deke Shaw played by Jason Statham. The ruthless horn that the U.S. government has driven 20 elites to kill is precisely the brother of the sixth villain, Owen Shaw.
The story of revenge on this side leads to family ties on the other side. O'Connor and Mia have a son, Jack, and a daughter, but O'Connor finds it difficult to adapt to the mundane routine. Toledo faces the broken Letty, but also wants to regain the authenticity of marriage.
The knife tip licks blood, rolls on the edge of death, shuttles between the treacherous conspiracy and terrorist organizations, and reflects the close but far-reaching emotional line: brother and family.
Before going into battle, Mia told O'Connor, "Promise me, this wave is over, don't make any more enemies, don't do it again." Before the climax, O'Connor and Mia called to say goodbye, saying, "The best in my life. The decision is to walk into your store." In connection with Paul Walker's death, the overlapping and dislocation of film and reality is even more embarrassing.
One of the reasons for the popularity of genre films is to provide an alternative life imagination. On the street, the "most handy battlefield", the speed and passion of Toledo and O'Connor's performances are of great significance in the history of movies: leveraging military technology, the automotive industry and marketing trends, they have completed the struggle against traditional police, gangsters, Subversion and reinvention of shootouts and action films.
Unfortunately, if there is an 8th episode, Walker is no longer there.
Part 7 ends with a frolicking scene at the beach, where Toledo plans to leave without saying goodbye to the O'Connors. Ramsay asked: "Aren't you going to say goodbye?" Toledo replied: "How can I say it."
This sentence was actually said to Walker.
As soon as the camera turns, O'Connor arrives, alongside Toledo. Toledo's monologue sounded in conjunction with "See you again".
The song goes:
It's been a long day without you my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
And Toledo's deep, rough voice said, "Every time you race, it's like a lifetime. You'll always be by my side, always my brother."
