| “We’re not friends. We’re a family” ( Fast & Furious 7 cast ) |
The passing of actor Paul Walker on November 30, 2013 “frozen” many things: the hearts of his co-stars, fans and the unfinished Fast & Furious 7 segments that had not yet been filmed.
The film was forced to delay its release date and the entire crew had to endure pain to create an episode more special than any previous episode – “to dedicate to Paul and to the fans” as Vin Diesel said.
With the previous 6 parts, Fast & Furious (released in 2001) conquered viewers from street racing to increasingly fierce confrontations with all kinds of criminals. As for Furious 7 (directed by James Wan), Dom is forced to gather his group of skilled players (Brian, Letty, Tej, Roman) for the final battle against the powerful Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) who wants to avenge his death. younger brother.
During the fight with Deckard, Dom’s group is approached by “Mr. Nobody” (played by Kurt Russell) – a high-ranking super agent of the US Government – asked to take on the mission to rescue a female hacker named Ramsey (played by Nathalie Emmanuel) who was being held by criminals to take over a tracking device. The search is called God’s Eye.
In return, Dom’s group will be able to use this device to find Deckard. Will they succeed or fail with this “last trip” (Dom’s words)?

Of course, Furious 7 also does not lack “traditional” scenes such as speed races and sexy beauties, but they seem to only be “fleeting”. With the participation of new actors – from the infamous Jason Statham in the Transporter series to Tony Jaa – the star of the Thai martial arts film series, Furious 7 brings viewers many fierce confrontations and many scenes. The most dramatic and remarkable is how Brian (Paul Walker) ran for his life to escape the bus that fell into the abyss.
But the “craziest” and most satisfying for fans of the Fast & Furious series – as introduced in the trailer – is the scene where Dom drives Brian in a super luxury car and flies through the skyscrapers in Abu Dhabi. Dhabi, or Dom, launch the car straight into the air to reach the flying helicopter! How to achieve such a scene combining special effects?

Chris Morgan, the screenwriter of Furious 7 , deserves to be praised for a tight structure, breathtaking moments of suspense, extremely charming comedy moments and at the same time no lack of deep emotions in an action film that is inherently Excessive fighting scene.
Certainly Paul Walker’s sudden passing has made his final screen appearances all the more precious and moving. Even when Paul Walker’s younger brothers Caleb and Cody were invited by the film crew to complete unfinished scenes of their talented and ill-fated brother, as well as CGI technology contributed to recreating Paul Walker’s face.

What surprised the public was the excellent handling of the script: whether because Paul Walker passed away (in real life), Furious 7 was forced to close a role, a portrait and a personality that was very popular with the audience. beloved audience for the past 14 years by allowing the character Brian that Paul played to pass away in the movie?
The answer will be at the end of the movie with a very simple but unique message. Just know that when you stand up to leave the theater, there will most likely be tears of emotion and regret somewhere around you.
