I have a natural love for cars and almost any movie about racing I can get me. It can be said that the fans of this series have been fans of this series from the beginning of "Speed 1". I remember that when "Speed 1" came out, it was evaluated as an unpopular masterpiece. The second part ate the reputation of the first part. The supporting cast represented by Han began to shine, until the fifth film officially embarked on the line of commercial blockbusters. My personal favorite among the seven series is the fifth one, which contains almost all the elements that a good commercial action film should have.
About Paul, I really started to become his fan from "The Deadly Gun". At the same time, I also think that "The Deadly Gun" is the representative work of his personal interpretation career. When it was just right, I felt that he was a very talented and charismatic actor, and he was likely to become popular one day.
It is a pity that in the following years, except for the Fast and Furious series, Paul's development was not as smooth as I expected. Movies such as "Countdown" are either applauded and unpopular, or they are pure bad films, the worst of which is the iconic work in the bad film "19 Cars".
Paul's death was very sudden. I still remember the sadness and regret when I saw the news that day. I am saddened that an actor I liked passed away at an early age, and I am saddened that Paul never had a chance to prove himself. In my opinion, Hollywood has never lacked good actors, but to become a real first-class movie star often requires some chance, maybe a good director, maybe a good script. In my opinion, Paul has never been a first-class actor in Hollywood. Except for the "Fast and Furious" series, he has never really produced a work, and he has never waited for such an opportunity until he left this world.
Overnight, it seemed that the whole world became a Paul fan, and I don't know how many people actually knew the actor Paul Walker before that. Of course, perhaps it was Paul's death that contributed to the huge box office victory of "Furious 7". The news said that it broke 50.3 million at midnight, 392 million on the first day, 500 million in two days, and 700 million in three days. 14 Mainland box office records. At the same time, countless people expressed their nostalgia for Paul in the circle of friends and QQ dynamics. I think as Paul's posthumous work, he will be very happy in the spirit of heaven to get such a result.
However, as a fan of his, I really don't want him to be known to the public in this way.
I still remember what an old classmate in the circle of friends wrote that day:
"For Paul Walker. We never say goodbye, never say goodbye. I also like your role in Spy Shots, I hope you have a good journey"
I only had a wry smile in my heart.
