Reminiscing about Paul Walker's years of Speed and Passion

Because of the "Fast and Furious" series of movies and entered the vision of Chinese film fans, but before mainland film fans could fully remember his name, he died suddenly, such as a short-lived movie life, and the name Paul Walker burned a fire in the mainland because of his death. Paul Walker has once again appeared in the cast of the recently released "Fast and Furious 7", and it seems that Paul Walker has been revived, and fans have entered the cinema with admiration.

This actor, who was popular because of the action movie and became famous as the speed party image in "Fast and Furious", was rough and delicate, which added a lot of points to the film.

"Fast and Furious" The racing life of pleasure and youth

Money, brothers, women

To summarize "Fast and Furious" in literary terms, it is the racing years of youth that are poured into wealth, friendship and love. But to put it bluntly, the Biker Party is revenge for money, brothers and women's happiness.

Paul Walker, one of many leading actors, and Van Diesel's powerful combination almost supported the climax of several "Fast and Furious" films, so that the entire series reached the seventh film, and there was no sign of box office decline. In order to make up for the regret that Paul Walker could not participate, the crew even used a stand-in plus facial special effects to maintain the original appearance of the entire series, and did not choose to change the lead actor. Or, the crew couldn't find such a close and deeply rooted Ryan O'Connor.

We don't have to guess whether there will be an eighth installment in this series, nor do we guess whether the crew will choose to find another actor to replace him or naturally write him to death in the script. But what we can be sure of is that the Fast and Furious franchise will never plummet at the box office because of Paul Walker's exit. Truth be told, it was really Fast and Furious that made Paul Walker, not the other way around, and even if the soul of Fast and Furious was to be chosen, Van Diesel's pick would have to come first.

The most important thing is to see well

"Fast and Furious" has been in its 15th year since the birth of the first one in 2001, and it can set off a wave of action movies every time, relying on the acting skills of the actors, relying on the wonderful plot, or relying on the stunts to show off? Of course, there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand viewers, but one thing is undeniable, and its success depends on a "cool" word.

We're not going to discuss how well Paul Walker did in the show, how well he worked with Van Diesel, how gripping the show's plot setting was, and how much each of them liked. But for everyone, one of the biggest needs of watching a movie is self-actualization, because there is no such stimulation in real life, even if it is fictional, it is simply "cool to watch". In today's society, people are accustomed to nine to five, fed up with following the rules, occasionally releasing themselves in the movie, "cool", is such a "cool" tone, with the superb acting skills of the actors and the appropriate coordination of the plot, it is not difficult for the audience to reach the climax. Just like the 007 series of movies, the classic of the film has made the previous 007 actors a household name because of the film itself, so the success of this type of film is not only because of the actors, but because he makes every moviegoer realize the "heroic dream" in their hearts.

Unlike Japanese literary and art films, the advantages and disadvantages of old American fast food films are that they do not need to consider the consequences of law, morality, ethics, strength, etc. as in reality, and all kinds of willfulness, because all the conditions in the film are set in advance, such a quick revenge, simple violence, and do not need to bear any consequences. Like In Fast & Furious, you can't imagine that van Diesel, after a car chase, looks at his car full of devastation and then makes a phone call to the insurance company to get them to the scene to tow the car; you can't imagine paul Walker taking out a million luxury car and then asking the bank loan specialist about the repayment problem, all of which can ruin an entire Fast and Furious movie in an instant.

Violent Neighborhood 3 from a speeding car to a running man

As a pure action movie, the only difference between Violent Neighborhood and Fast and Furious is that the latter is the speed of the car, and the former is the running of people. "Violent Block" is definitely a representative work that parkour lovers must watch, and they also have to go to the cinema once in a movie theater for the admiration of parkour founder David Bell.

If you watch all three parts of "Violent Block", you will find the oolong: the plot of this "Violent Block 3" and "Violent Block 1" is almost exactly the same, although the name has changed, but the positioning of each character in "Violent Block 3" can find a shadow in the first part, and the paradox is that In the first part, Reto's sister became a girlfriend in the third part. So it can be said that the real "parkour fans" may feel that this film is not as good as "Violent Block 1", which is suspected of "fried cold rice", and the biggest selling point of "Violent Block 3" should be that Paul Walker starred in the male number two SWAT officer Damian in the third part. But the male second of the first film was played by Ciri Rafaelli, who was a stunt actor by birth, and his physical fitness in parkour and performance in the film were even no less than that of male number one David Bell.

Paul Walker's appearance in Violent Neighborhood 3 may have been a no-brainer after director Camille Dilamma was heavily educated by the box office market. Why? In terms of casting, Camille said at first: "Now the audience needs real heroes, not imitated heroes. Some extreme athletes are now becoming real stars. Those real action scenes are increasingly appealing to audiences who are looking for new thrills for their extreme senses. So in the first and second installments of Violent Neighborhood, male number one David Bell is not an actor. As a result, the film is wonderful, but in the current star-studded, special effects are in full swing, and the box office can be seen from the poster alone, the first two "Violent Blocks" have lost more than half in the cast. But the first part of "Violent Neighborhood" still won the support of fans with its wonderful sensory feelings, otherwise it would not have been possible to make a second part. However, after the freshness of the first part, coupled with the old cast, the weakness of the second part at the box office is expected.

This does not mean to blame Paul Walker, on the contrary, he should be the best Hollywood star to star in "Violent Blocks". Today's Hollywood action male stars are either Stallone-style heroic tough guy type or Van Diesel's muscular man type in "Fast and Furious". But Violent Blocks needs an assassin-like action star, and these roles are typically played by actresses in Hollywood's action movie world. A capable and agile action actor like Paul Walker is rare. Of course, since the plot is the same as the first part, it will be intentionally or unintentionally compared to Siri Rafaeli in the first part, the PK of the power faction and the idol faction, as to whether it is dwarfed or has its own advantages, everyone will have their own ideas.
