It is hard to describe what the biggest gimmick of "Fast and Furious 9".
is the ace director of this series. He has guided the return of from the third to sixth part Lin Yibin ?
or the resurrection of Han’s most "unsatisfied" character?
Or as everyone's prediction said, in this movie, racing finally flew into space?
In all senses, "Fast and Furious 9" is full of energy and must surpass the previous work.
More powerful lineup.
Faster speed.
and more fried special effects.
As of now, the first day of this film has exceeded 300 million, and the box office forecast for Maoyan Professional Edition has also exceeded 2 billion.
As a rare super first-line commercial film after the epidemic, the release of "Fast and Furious 9" is undoubtedly a heart-warming agent for May Cinema, which has been sluggish for the long-standing May Cinema.
In particular, this movie is one month ahead of the release date in North America. Domestic audiences have a better chance to take a look.
Of course, for fans of the fast-acting, the wait is still quite long. After all, the film was originally scheduled to be released last year, and it was because of the impact of the epidemic that it has moved all the way to the present.
After many compromises at such a difficult time, it is a thing worth cherishing to finally be able to reunite with fans on the big screen.
Now it seems that this sequel does symbolize a very special "change of old and new":
has both the return of old friends and the addition of very important new characters.
The view of the video may be as stated in this comment from IndieWire:
"The world of "Fast and Furious " has never been so out of control. But at the same time, you will feel that this series has finally gone back to the right direction."
"Return to the right direction" - this is undoubtedly due to the return of two old friends.
That is, two Asian members who are important to this series: director Lin Yibin, and Han, played by Jiang Chenghao .
In an interview, Lin Yibin also repeatedly mentioned that letting Han "resurrect" is to make up for the mistake.
After witnessing the petition initiated by fans around the world to let Han return, he realized that people's emotions for this character also made him feel "I feel very uncomfortable and I want to do something to make up for it."
And one of the most impressive scenes in the film is undoubtedly two scenes that mark the "return" of South Korea.
The first time he appeared with a sniper rifle. In the neon lights of Tokyo, we finally found that familiar face.
The second time, he appeared at the secret agent base of Boss Tang and said jokingly: "The place is good."
is right, he is still as casual as ever.
When it comes to new roles, the most important new character in this film is undoubtedly the villain played by John Cena , the younger brother of Boss Tang.
If you have watched "Bumblebee", you will definitely be impressed by this tough guy agent .
Out of the screen, John Cena is a star-level professional wrestler. He has won the world heavyweight championship three times, the national U.S. championship three times, and the WWE championship fourteen times.
Perhaps this is why, every melee-to-mouth roof fight in the video is particularly satisfying and full of pain.
After all, they are professional.
Of course, real guns and live ammunition fighting scenes are good, but the signature of this series is still an extremely excellent industrial level and action scenes that are completely beyond imagination.
I believe everyone still remembers the submarines and hundreds of cars in "Fast and Furious 8".
And in the ninth part, as soon as the video came out, there were also several crazy racing scenes that were shocking enough.
Racing in dangerous mine areas makes the vehicle faster than the speed of detonating the mines.
With a rope from a broken bridge, it flew over the cliff.
or simply let the magnetic plane hitchhike.
Like the previous few movies, the video fills up adrenaline as soon as it starts, and it is always creating the most shocking visual wonder, which makes the audience stunned.
and even this, another highlight of this sequel is the atmosphere of both retro and trendy in the whole film. The timeline of the two lines parallel in the video allows us to relive the most original charm of this series in memory killing:
The most retro racing scene, the most authentic hormone explosion and adrenaline rush.
2001's first "Fast and Furious" happened to be just 20 years ago.
But 20 years have passed, and such the most classic racing scene is still so charming.
In the timeline that symbolizes the "now", the video uses a lot of cool high-tech in a very up-to-date way.
not only fly the car into space, but also has the ubiquitous application of magnetic energy -
There is no doubt that this has also taken the "destruction" ability of this series to a higher level.
Can see such a bombing on the screen, which can be called a destructive action scene. There are only two words to describe this experience.
.
ignition.
Director Lin Yibin mentioned in the interview that he always insists on real-life shooting, not CGI.
So you can see how the funding for this movie is burning. Every car that was actually blown up allows us to experience the tension and immersion of real shots.
This itself is also a kind of sincerity and enthusiasm.
Since the epidemic, people have been subtly changed not only their lifestyle, but also their movie-watching habits.
Now that streaming media continues to impact theaters, more and more videos have to "compromise" online viewing.
But as movie fans, we always believe that movies belong to the theater.
Lin Yibin obviously also has such a belief, so even if the schedule of the film is delayed again and again, he always insists on letting the audience watch the movie in the theater.
And now it seems that this is true. The production and industrial level of "Fast and Furious" can undoubtedly only be achieved on the big screen.
We are also very glad that there are movies like "Fast and Furious" and "Big Screen Believers" like Lin Yibin, which once again makes us feel the irreplaceable nature of the existence of the big screen.
Why can "Fast and Furious" still be evergreen after the ninth film?
In fact, from another perspective, it is hard to imagine that this series has been filmed for 20 years.
Because, it seems that we don’t think any character in the film has “old”, including Vin Diesel . Although he is already a father in this episode, he does not have any fatigue on his face, and he is still as strong and capable as ever.
And the other characters on the screen are still young, and they are still enjoying the excitement of racing and the pride of saving the world while making jokes.
At the same time, every episode of this series is always new enough, dare enough, and exciting enough.
videos are constantly bringing new villains, new crises, new challenges... and always pursuing bigger scenes, more crazy special effects, and more destructive viewing.
Especially, after filming now, it is obvious that this series is no longer just a racing action movie, but also an agent movie, science fiction movie, and even superhero movie.
The subtext behind this is that as a series of movies, it is always constantly innovating and constantly absorbing new types, new elements, new era aesthetics and audience interest.
But most importantly, with the changes of the times, "Fast and Furious" has always pursued a kind of ultimate.
It always uses the most intuitive way to surpass the previous work and constantly build up excitement points.
always has a trick, you have "never seen it".
Similarly, another keyword in this series is sentiment.
Hot feelings must first be based on the characters.
Therefore, it is obvious that all the crises and difficulties in this movie are actually built around "Boss Tang".
After the death of Paul Walker , Boss Tang became the core figure of this series. To a certain extent, the film also revolves around this distinctive protagonist constantly radiating.
His personality charm is the most charming thing in the film. His motto of life is also the core theme of the film.
All other elements, plots, and actions, to a certain extent, are all for his character creation.
So, let's recall what is the word that Boss Tang talks the most often?
family.
Since this is the case, when a real family member and a close brother become the mortal enemy of Boss Tang?
When the word family encounters unprecedented challenges.
How should he redefine his life motto?
Obviously, in this movie, Donald's "little brother" Jacob is indeed a villain "tailored" for him.
Jacob's appearance is inevitable - he symbolizes the past of Boss Tang. Only by understanding Boss Tang’s past can we understand his present better.
Just as there happens to be a line in the film: "No matter how fast you run, you can never escape your past."
Through this dual-line narrative that coexists with the past and the present, in this movie, we meet a Boss Tang who is more full, more complete, more contradictory and more struggling than before.
In his family history, we witness Tang’s most painful past: he once regarded his father as an idol, but wanted to watch his father die in the arena with his own eyes.
Similarly, he valued his family the most, but he had to drive away his younger brother with his own hands and let the family break up.
Timeline Back to the present, when he already had a son and returned to the countryside, his former younger brother began to plot to destroy the world and destroy all the people he loved.
On this level, the old "family" is like a ghost, invading his new "family".
Therefore, this time he is still fighting for his family.
And what he wants to do in the end is to reconcile with the past and reconcile with the family.
I have to sigh again, Lin Yibin is indeed the director who understands this series best.
It is hard to imagine that there is a better way to expand than "little brother".
Only he can bring this series to the deepest point, and only he can reawaken the audience's most sincere and private emotions about this series.
Perhaps this is why, when the film goes to the end, when everyone saves the world again and survives the disaster, the last prayer before the meal and the empty seat left for Paul Walker will still make people feel a little sad.
won’t think that this is a refrigeration, but instead think that it is just a very natural nostalgia for old friends.
He let us see again that some things are unique to the "Fast and Furious" series that you cannot see in other movies.
It has to be admitted that on the big screen in the past twenty years, family, Paul Walker... this series has created too many irreplaceable feelings and memories.
This makes us unable to help looking at this series with a more tolerant and gentler attitude.
Because, there are several series of blockbusters that can be shot for twenty years?
And when these charming characters become friends for the audience, it seems that watching the movie itself has become a habit, or companionship.
At this level, you will feel that bombardment is not the best synonym for this series, and growing up with the audience is.
After all, this is the most unique charm of the series of blockbusters. We just want to see those people and things that can live forever on the other side of the screen and never end.
