Rumble with the speed of a lifetime

"When the engine speed reaches 7,000 rpm, everything will pass away, and there will be nothing in front of you." For a driving commuter who barely exceeds 4,000 rpm, it is really difficult to understand this line in the film, and You can only try to integrate your vision into the high-speed spinning screen, and use your eyeballs and heart to feel the impact of the roar of the engine and the speed of the first-person line of sight. If you can't experience this movie in a home theater, you can hardly experience the suffocation and shock brought by the speed and passion. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the movie was finally not released in China, which is a big pity for domestic fans. .

Legendary car king Ken Miles dedicated his entire life to the track. I'm not a racing fan, and I don't know anything about him in the 1960s. I can only check the relevant history after watching the movie. I'm glad the crew chose Christian Bale and Matt Dimon to play Ken and his equally legendary friend Shelby respectively. I thought that these two actors should be pure, undisturbed, visual performances in Hollywood. An excellent actor who is as important as his life. "There are always a few extreme people who find something they have to do, something that makes them tangled, something that drives them crazy if they can't do it." As the two characters in the film show The pure obsession and madness for racing cars, and through their interpretation of the characters, they can feel their passion for racing cars in a more integrated way. The final hour of the film culminates with an epic Le Mans race. Night and day alternate, the rainstorm and the dazzling sun are accompanied, the angry roar of the engine, the impossibility of overtaking on the corner, the mottled tree shadows skipped by the extreme speed, the impermeable and passionate drums, the drivers on the track are competing against each other, the people outside the track Intrigue. The near-perfect rhythm of the shots made the excitement and intensity of the event impeccable, as well as the tragic friendship between Miles and Shelby to the extreme. The feeling of suffocation and shock brought by this hour is almost equivalent to the space catastrophe that Sandra Bullock escaped from in Alfonso's "Gravity". Ken Miles was born for racing and died for racing. He thought that fate was unfair to him, but he was blessed enough. Although the reality may be more cruel than the film, at least he in the camera can spend his whole life enjoying the speed of life, chasing the heat wave in the distance, and rushing to the end of the world. As ordinary people, how should we control our own lives, and at what rhythm should we choose the direction of each intersection? How fast should we face the unknown wind and rain ahead? Perhaps it is a more complex subject far away from the track. This should be one of the best biopics of 2019, and a brilliant throwback to the classic cinematic style.

    C / Giant cool film, but it can really be better. Now that we have keenly captured "speed", and even found many contrasting concepts about freezing and stillness-then we should make the former more magnificent and unscrupulous, and let it break through and destroy at the speed endogenous to the capital and bureaucratic system. Now, with so many details of the drama that are messy and even conflicting with the characters' spirits (at the end, when the wife suddenly says "he is growing up", I just want to get a star. Does the screenwriter really have a brain?), it can only prove the experience of the film Just as embarrassed as Ken.

    80/100, externally reflects the power and capital struggle between the director and the studio. This may also be personal anxiety about creation. The choice between enthusiasm, desire and survival, and situation has become a time bomb. Even though it was just a high-quality template biographical film internally, and even slightly delayed the rhythm at the end, Mangold turned his excellent scheduling into infinite passion and burned on the track. The rainy night car chase scene uses light, smoke, rain and many other visual elements to fully mix the speed and collision. The battle between the two big guys is really beautiful. The engine keeps roaring and roaring, why is it not exciting.
