However, as a brain-free film, when you feel free to take a look, it is still very cool, even bursting. Although, you don't need to use your brain to watch such a film, just watching the process is enough. But the screenwriters didn't act for the sake of action, they still made up the plot very carefully. Talking about the plot of an action movie without a plot is a very nonsense thing, and because I have watched "13 Districts" and the remake of "Violence Blocks", I don't want to talk about the action anymore, but moved to the plot. If you are interested, let's talk nonsense.
In "13th District", the city government's conspiracy was finally dismantled. The mayor's ambition to destroy the chaotic 13th District failed to succeed, and the 13th District was free. For the people at the bottom, chaos, crime, disorder, and messiness are all bad, but they are nothing compared to freedom. It really means "life is precious, love is more expensive. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away". In "Zone 13: Ultimate", this is further strengthened. Moreover, the conspiracy has also been upgraded. In "13th District", the politician stays at the mayor, while "13th District: Ultimate" is at the presidential level. The story takes place two years after the end of the "13th District" story. Due to the change of government, the short-term freedom of the 13th District was broken again, and the once broken wall was built again, and it was taller and stronger. The efforts of Reyto and Damian vanished, and the government's unreliable nature was exposed.
The scholar Thomas Hobbes described the government as "Leviathan", which protects and swallows the people. In the case of Paris, it is the rich people in the central city that are protected, and the slums like the 13th arrondissement are swallowed. Isolation is a serious policy discrimination, and it also violates the most basic principles of freedom and democracy. For the government, the "Leviathan", the best way is to put it in a cage. The so-called confinement of power in a cage probably also means this. In economics, in addition to the visible hand (plan) and the invisible hand (market), the government’s role in the public/market has a "predatory hand". The interests of the people are taken into their own pockets and plunder the people/market. Therefore, be vigilant to the government's need to prevent abuse of power and to prevent extra hands from being extended. Whether it is a "Leviathan" or a "predatory hand," it is the people's instinctive distrust of the government, and vigilance and prevention of the government have become the people's instinctive reaction. Therefore, in Western movies, the government is often set as a natural villain, even the biggest villain. Everyone believes it and accepts it. But in our great celestial dynasty, this is absolutely impossible, because we have always advocated that the government is omnipotent, and that the government is always correct, and it is great and glorious. Only the people are always a small group, never knowing the truth, always having ulterior motives. Whoever dares to question the government is definitely a nerve problem and will be sent to a psychiatric hospital immediately.
Back to "Zone 13: Ultimate", because after the previous struggles, it has become more chaotic, and has been divided into five major gangs based on religion, skin color, and race. Various crimes have caused the government to suffer miserably. In order to completely wipe out the 13th district, the government did not hesitate to use the form of planting to kill the two patrolling policemen and transport them to the 13th district, and then lured the gangsters in the 13th district to shoot at the police cars, causing the people in the 13th district to openly. Shoot the illusion of a policeman. Therefore, it is necessary for the government to take necessary measures in District 13 to completely blow up District 13. Isolation is already policy discrimination, and massacre is fascism against humanity.
So Reyto and Damian joined forces again and must complete the rescue of District 13 within 48 hours. As for their skill, of course, there is no need to say. The whole film is quite beautiful because of its quietness, movement like a rabbit, with tight-tempo music, dazzling parkour, and thrilling fights. Although the story is not as mellow as "Area 13", what everyone wants to see is not the story, but the action itself. A fully upgraded version of the story, as well as an upgraded version of the action scene. The use of the word "ultimate" also shows that there is no third book. But never thought, Luc Besson still refused to be lonely, and finally made an American version. The old wine in the new bottle tastes similar, but it tastes quite refreshing. What's more, the accidental death of actor Paul Walker makes the film an extra sadness.
