After watching "Extreme Thief" today, I think it is a good movie and a visual feast. It was after seeing the introduction of vibrato that I still felt that it was not addictive, so I watched it. The only pity is that it is watched in Mandarin, not so original.
The film is based on 1991's Breaking Point, directed by Erikson Cole, starring Edgar Ramirez, Luke Bracey, Teresa Palmer, Clemons Schick, Matthias Padding, Tobias Santman, Deliriy Lindo, and Ray Winston.
I rarely pay attention to foreign actors, so I don't know any of them, but it doesn't affect how much I like this film.
The story is about You, who lost a close friend during an extreme sport and succeeded in becoming an FBI agent seven years later. After encountering several crimes, he was sensitive to the fact that these people challenged Ozaki Hachiku, and under the continuous tracking and performance, they successfully became one of them. He becomes friends with the gang leader, Baldy, but never stops his challenge. It turns out that Baudy is the one who Ozaki accompanied when he accidentally died in the third extreme sport.
The eight extreme challenges included in the film are:
1. Emerging force Extreme Kayak Rafting/Extreme Off-Road Flying Vehicle, the film is a kayak slalom in the Congo River.
2. Birth of sky parachute, the film is parachuted on Mount Everest.
3. Awakening earth cave parachute / Extreme Jungle Crossing / Extreme Cave Crossing, the film is a fixed-point skydiving in the Swallow Cave in the Mexican jungle.
4, the life of water life of water extreme surfing, the film for surfing in Biarritz, France.
5. The surge of the wind life of wind peak wingsuit flight, the film is in the Alpine wingsuit flight.
6. Solidification of Ice Life of Ice Peak Downhill Skiing (Falling Mountain/Chasing Mountain), the film is for downhill skiing in the Alps.
7. The Master of Six Lives climbs with bare hands, and the film is used to climb the Angel Waterfall in Venezuela.
8. Ultimate Trust Act of Ultimate Trust Extreme Diving, the film is a high-altitude diving on the back of angel waterfall.
The film is Hollywood's most popular stunt double, the film is shot in real-life, lasted three years, the production cycle of up to 221 days, the film's extreme surfing, suichiro competition, rock climbing, extreme skiing, exciting wingsuit flight and extreme skydiving are all completed by live-action stunts. (This paragraph is from Baidu Encyclopedia)
In the process of watching the movie, I kept taking screenshots and capturing wonderful moments, and I was still thinking about whether this was a live-action shooting or a high-tech production, and I understood at this moment that this film is not easy. During the film skiing and freehand rock climbing, they lost a companion. During the actual filming process, there were also rumors that 3 staff members or stuntmen were killed. Dangerous actions in the film, non-professionals, do not imitate.
"You lack fear" and "Lack of reverence", these two sentences remind me of "The Wisdom of Kabbalah", a book I am currently reading. What Body is actually doing is not only to complete 8 tests, but also to have the idea that "as much as humans ask the earth, we should give back as much as we want". Our relationship with nature is mutually reinforcing and indispensable. Just like the wisdom of Kabbalah, at first people are subject to nature, then they want to get rid of nature, and then they find that it is impossible, they can only protect nature, but also protect ourselves. We call on everyone not to destroy the environment and to cherish their homes.
In the film, criminal gangs rob diamonds and skydive high up in the building, intercept paper money transporters in the air, blow up $100 million worth of gold mines, burn an international test well and finally rob a small bank on top of a hill. There were a total of 5 cases, 3 cases of extreme difficulty were experienced, 1 case was forced to take risks because there was no money, and the motive for robbing diamonds on high floors, blowing up gold mines and intercepting paper money conveyors was taken from nature and returned to nature.
I always feel that these crimes are inconsistent with the 8 extreme sports described in the film, but where the specific difference is, I can't say it. Perhaps the deep meaning is just to tell the greatness of nature, and human beings need to love and care for her. At the same time, Baudy's personality is more colorful, and even overshadows the protagonist's aura, but evil is not good, so this is a last resort. Is there still a concept of revenge?
Loved the line inside: That's my route, (not his,) and the second he walks, it's his way.
