There are only two types of male movies, boxing and racing, which reflect strength and speed respectively. Since the essence of the movie is the art of "time", the speed in the racing movie has become a source of pleasure to stimulate the audience's adrenaline.
If "Fast and the Furious" is subdivided, it is easy to summarize the blockbuster elements of racing movies: honor, crime and justice. There's no creampie in the movie, but it's full of handsome biceps of all kinds, wild parties, underground deals, displays of fancy sports cars of all kinds and cool, and sexy: high-heeled boots, super shorts, long Legs... When shooting, the camera is specifically tracking on the chest and buttocks; however, the plot can basically be equivalent to the obscenity of high school students: through a thrilling racing car, hit the bad guy to death, win the respect of the secondary male protagonist, and then hug Beauty is coming!
From Hollywood in the United States, to European movies, to Asian movies, racing movies continue to emerge, but there are distinct differences in style. The American racing movies are the movie version of "Need for Speed", which is a special effect display of the electronic illusion world. The amount of investment directly determines its destiny. Of course, if you make some changes in the theme, it may become the darling of the box office word of mouth of the year, such as "Cannonball Speed", "Speed of Life and Death", "Speed Racer"...
The European version of racing movies is represented by Luc Besson's "Taxi Express" series. The movie always takes the popcorn-style funny route, just like the French sense of humor, which is relaxing and not degrading; and in Asia, In the case of shrinking investment in special effects, everything has begun to take the "humanistic" route. Taking Hong Kong as an example, "A Lang's Story", "Human Torch", "Car God", "Legend of Speed", "Initial D"... … Hong Kong-made racing movies are the strongest in depicting the grass-roots growth history of a group of small people, so its racing movies also run counter to similar movies in Europe and America. The protagonists have always been people rather than cars, and they were born out of bitterness and hatred. family. Everything is just a variation of inspirational films.
So, even if you despise its shallowness, if you want to see a true-blooded racing movie, go to the Fast and the Furious series. After all, the most exciting thing in racing movies is the fast-changing, accelerated racing scenes, explosions, thrills, and speeding. Before that, there will be a scene where a genius technician modifies a racing car with his shirtless shirt on. In fact, this is the crux of a speed car movie, and it can easily become the seven inches of movie logic. The only explanation for why those cars are so perverted is here: turbocharged engines, additional thrusters , flying wings, propellers... Want to know how the spaceship in Lux's "Star Wars" was created? Might get some inspiration here.
But don't imitate it. After all, the essence of the movie is always that sentence: This story is purely fictional, and if there is any similarity, it is self-inflicted.
