Hello everyone, no matter how much today, I will talk to you about this 2004 French film "Violent Block 13", and by the way, talk about its sequel "Violent Block 13: Ultimate" and the 2014 American remake of "Violent Block".
Sounds a bit complicated? In fact, it is enough to pick and watch one, and the gap in the content of these films is not much, especially the plot similarity between "Violent Block 13" in 2004 and the Hollywood remake of "Violent Neighborhood" is as high as 90%.
So what is the magic of this movie to shoot again and again? The answer isn't complicated: parkour
Parkour became the biggest difference between this action movie and other similar works, in which the protagonist David Bell is actually a parkour master, which also makes the various cool parkour scenes in this film more realistic.
Accustomed to all kinds of drag racing, gunfights, fist-to-flesh fights, this cat-and-mouse-like and handsome parkour has become a highlight of more than a decade ago.
You can not care whether the plot has ups and downs, you can also not care whether the various logic in it can justify itself, you just need to sit in the movie theater and hold popcorn to watch a cool peek-a-boo cat is enough to explode.
The setting of the film is also quite interesting, the 13th arrondissement of Paris, a place outside the law, full of gangsters and outlaws.
Since you want to see the gangs fighting each other, don't make so many rules, it is the coolest to directly come to a big fight of all the evil people. It can be said that the future story background of this class of the movie is quite clever, and the plot's successive climaxes again and again can also be largely attributed to this chaotic environment.
Of course, if we wake up and carefully explore the wonderfulness and rationality of the story, we will find that it is actually a story full of loopholes.
In particular, the betrayal of the officials in the second part and the whitewashing of the villain in a second are actually quite roughly designed. And the final climax, this group of "wall people" who are quite difficult to even get out of the door actually poured into the mayor's office in the next second, which is a bit too funny to think about. Are the French police and military all set up?
In general, the whole story structure setting and promotion of the film is actually the same old action movie thing, nothing new.
In addition to parkour, the movie has also given birth to many famous scenes
After the first film gradually rescued her sister, the sister who was originally taken hostage has always given people a feeling of weakness, but soon the girl subverts this persona.
When she left, in order to get revenge on the gangsters who had humiliated her, she actually took off her underwear and stuffed them into the mouth of this big man, and sure enough, your 13 district women and children are all tough people! This plot was also cut out by many people and put on the Internet, and a full row of comments on various titles was lined up.
In the second film, Damian, played by Cyril Rafilly, almost didn't recognize damien when he first appeared, and the guy actually wore a women's suit in order to blend into the gang. To be honest, dude, you look really good in women's clothes, or do you consider abandoning your big bald head to develop the idol route?
In short, if you want to find an action movie that can be watched without thinking about it, xiaobian recommends this film, as for which individual recommends "Violent Block: 13" or "Violent Block" to pick one, after all, this kind of film will be tired after watching more aesthetics.
