Furious 7 - A tribute to Paul Walker.. Inspired by the whole Movie series!!
Wow, what a action packed all thrills alpha male movie!.. If your a guy or gal that loves action, on top of action, blowing up things. cars flying, bullets bouncing with excellent fight scenes,, Then this movie cured your fix..!! The fighting of Jason stratham and The Rock, and of course Tony Jaa and paul Walker was exciting and lets not forget Michele " Letty" They all put down a beat down.. And of course The cool cars. The Chargers, Challengers and Cuda's , never gets old.. But just seeing Paul Walker was even cooler. sure they had to adjust the movie because Paul passed away only after a couple months into shooting the movie, But they did a excellent job and it was worth the wait!!.. The ending if anything was probably the most heartfelt and dramatic ending of any action movie.. !!The beach scene was a nice calming down period after hours of action on the screen. It showed what the fast series has been pounding in our heads for the past 14-15 years.. family,, first,, and it was bitter sweet ending,, Because ,, the true star is Paul walker, but like anything in life,, we must go on.. We have to.. perhaps we the are other kids growing up and other people just getting to know about this movie series. At first , I was wondering if they were going to exploit Paul's death, but they did the best with what they did and created a story,,despite missing the Star. Perhaps the reason., We saw more car chase scenes, and fighting.. But it was if not the best of the series.. I'm biased towards fast five , because That's when I decided on what Muscle car to buy,, with the ending scene , with paul walkers.. Nissan GTR AND Vin Diesels.. challenger. I fell in love with that wide body Challenger.. and the rest is history.. Now .. The big question? Are the fans ready for more? Are the fans going to accept new character's, or lead? I mean.. Paul was such a big impact on the whole series.. But., I feel this series,, is like the James Bond,,, of toady's era,,, Why? because,, it involves, cars, women, guns, explosives,, etc.. and traveling to different locales,, and also the diversity of the cast has created a universal appeal .. The Whites. blacks. Asians. Spanish , etc.. has enticed many of us into this movie,, Because alot of us grew up in such diversity,, at least I did,, I saw many cultures,, I lived, worked, and argued with anyone and everyone.. But because I did,, I know what to expect or how cultures think? We all know,, based on experience,.. you learn about cultures,, by living and dealing with them. not reading some book, or video,, its life experiences, and That's why this movie series is so popular. we get to see the cholo world, the motorcycle race world, the Asians, the drag strip crowd.., the party scenes of all cultures,,,maybe it was a risk when they first started this movie series, but over time and trial and error,, they have developed a heck of a movie series,, I have enjoyed all of the movie's,, Too fast and too furious was my least favorite ,, but loved the old school camaro's and Challenger's in the movies,, and it was a bit corny?,, but hey.. The movie still got the fan based hooked.. Tokyo drift was my favorite because it emphasized street racing, despite missing paul walker or Vin Diesel.. but it did introduce us to the Asian character Han.. Well anyways.. if you haven't seen any of the movies, then Fast 7 is not a bad choice to start with.. But You have start at the beginning and develop the love affair with cars, and the characters. The alpha male in " Torreto", or the wild side actions of "Bryan", and of course the bad ass attitude of "Letty," they all are fun to watch in action.. and I was hooked from the beginning,, even though I was stationed in Japan, when the series started,, in fact I saw Tokyo drifting in person,before the movie came out.. But that's another blog,, Today,, was a celebration in the American Spirit of having passion for something ,, in this case fast cool cars and the love car guys and gals have for their machines,!!, We spend hours, waxing, detailing, making sure the engine is running effectively,, and that we know if something is wrong with our cars,, Because we drive them daily, we know when the breaks are hurting, or the oil is burning, or the alignment is off. Its a second sense to our cars.. Its hard to explain to a non car crazy person?!?,, but it likes a child you love dearly, and they get sick or when they are worried and tired, you feel it,, !!Its the same with our cars, our babes, our babies we like to call them.. We love our cars, not only because they are cool looking, but because its truly a extension to our personalities, its truly a part of us.. For me.. watching Paul walker and seeing the grin on his face when he drove the cars he loved,, was enthralling and uplifting because , myself and I'm sure others reading this blog feel.. Its really a uplifting experience to get into a car that you love and have taken time to ensure its running at its best,, That start up is like no other feeling in life?/.. Your in control of a cool car that represents that hard work and years sacrificed in getting that ride ,, alot of car guys and gals yearn for.. I always wanted a muscle car,!! and though it took nearly a life time to get,, I 'm so happy and blessed that I have a car that represents the tough and rough times I lived through,till now.. Life is journey and we all have our own happiness and sadness that come along in life.. No one is immune to death , and sadness, depression and despair.. But we all must overcome them.. because the future is our kids, is the new people born every day. Its a duty to teach our kids how to behave and how to love one another, because life is so unpredictable.. I look to life to be happy each day and enjoy what I love each day,, That's the spirit that Paul walker had.. he had that youthful. fearless go for it attitude !! alot of us still have..or want to have!! I know some say.." He should of. ??he could of... ? But you know,, he lived life like he wanted to..!! No regrets.. He knew the risks involved in that attitude and spirit.. Just like I feel when I go out and drive,, I know ..!! Its a risk to put up the speed, because like my friends tell me..it only takes a bad turn or a unsuspecting driver making a bad move to cause horrible accident,,,that can end life for you and others.. But..that's life..!?! life is a risk?!?!. we all should eliminate or stay way form most of them. ? But as long as their is roads to drive on, and drugged out , drunks or texting un focused drivers on the road.. Its something to ponder and think about? As for the final thoughts on this movie,,,!!
My final thought is this,, Despite the lack of story,, so to speak, the action, the explosions, the passion each character showed was what the fast series is all about.. Its all about cars!! , it all about family !! and its all about caring and loving things that are important to one another.!! There is no denying the fact that this movie series loves their cars, and love showing off woman and having belief in family.. Because in life,, having a passion for something is often missed in today's, hustle and busload world, the rat race !! , Family,, a happy true family structure is what will get you through life.. I know based on experience,, there is nothing like the love of a woman or man that loves you unconditionally !! , like your kids,, sure they mess up at times,, bad grade ,, youthful discretion's,, but bottom line,. We should love our families and inspire them to love one another and be productive in life.. Furious 7 was not only a action packed film, but a lesson life that it has been trying to teach us from the get go..!!
Now for Paul Walker, I want to thank and your family, for giving us a lifetime of pleasures and memories that will be forever engraved in our hearts and minds.. and for the future generations,, You Paul, will always be forever young. just like in the movies you starred in and that youthful, fearless spirit,, that Americans.. love to emulate .. you displayed an American Spirit , like no other actor before you and I'm happy you shared it with us though ,, briefly, but your passion will live on with your movies you made and the stories we tell our kids,, about why we loved you and your crew.. Rest in Peace Paul and may all who enjoy his passion for cars, life and family,, I know they are praying for peace and prosperity for own family and lovely daughter you have left behind.. Until my next blog,, Everyone have a great day and be happy!!
