Cool parkour

Luc Besson himself has always been a fan of extreme sports. In 2001, the parkour film "Corporate Warrior" he screened won a lot of applause. After that, he devoted himself to combining parkour sports with action movies, and "Violence Street 13: Ultimate" is still written and produced by him. The two leading actors in the previous episode, David Bailey and Cereil Raphael, are back again. David Bailey, who plays Reyto, is the pioneer of parkour and has an excellent fit with the role. Cereil Rafili, the stunt star who plays Damian, is better known. He has appeared agile in both "Taxi Catch 2" and "Undercurrent 2: Angels of Doom". These two real extreme sports masters completed all the difficult movements in person, completely surpassing the "Spiderman".
"Violence Block 13: Ultimate" set the story in 2015, two years after the previous one. The government erected concrete partition walls in the difficult-to-manage suburbs of Paris to be taller and thicker, enclosing the entire slums and gangs. , Here is "violent block 13", there is no law, no system. The current block is controlled by five gang bosses, and conflicts and violent incidents have become more frequent. Damian, the senior inspector of the special operations team, and the abundance of Reyto once again joined forces to break into the gang together to save this violent city from chaos.
"Violence Block 13: Ultimate" is more complicated and superb in terms of action and special effects than its predecessor. The film still adheres to the production concept of reducing technical participation and eliminating special effects, and pursues the original beauty of speed and visual effects. The sense of speed conveyed by the trailer is astonishing. Under the high-speed camera shooting at 150 frames per second, watching the stuntman shuttle among the concrete forest, the harmonious unity of the graceful figure of the human body and the rhythmic speed fully demonstrates the parkour movement. Ultimate charm.
If I have watched the first parkour that I am deeply attracted to, the opening scene of parkour is really thrilling. I have a taste of the essence of parkour. At the same time, a great parkour expert David-Billy David belle was born. I often search for his tidbits, video technology, pure technology, the origin of parkour, and he is considered a character with a face, and a lot of flipping and jumping in the film adds a lot of objectivity and appreciation to the film. Value, if a star wins by playing, he will definitely lose to another actor, the martial arts champion CYRIL raffaelli. Together these two are like seeing Jackie Chan and Jet Li’s joint figure, one relying on skill and watching the other. It relies purely on fists to highlight the elements of violence.
The cultural background in the film is another aspect that I like. The gang trade in the 13th district organized by the French arms group, the whole abandoned factory and the graffiti presentation picture put me in this thought that is connected with the theme. If the power of violent aesthetics is martial arts, then the momentum of this film is the fuse that makes my heart move. I never think that films that highlight individual heroes are good violent products. Then the abnormal ones are even more abnormal and can't really be true. In the wide range of immersive battles, I think Luc Besson never talks about the violent aesthetics that I have photographed by others, it is nothing more than fighting and killing. So I used such a little idea to compromise the background power. I think a great director is someone who can connect with this society. He shoots not only fans but also business and society.
