Fast and Furious 7, the beginning of a new direction for the franchise
“Fast and Furious 7” marks a significant change in the story of Dominic Toretto and his team. This film is particularly poignant because it features the final appearance of Paul Walker, who tragically died before filming was completed. The production used digital dubbing techniques and Walker’s brothers to complete their scenes. The plot revolves around Toretto and his family facing a new enemy: Deckard Shaw, played by Jason Statham, who seeks revenge for his brother. This installment of the series is characterized by increased emotional intensity and even more spectacular action scenes, including the famous sequence in which cars jump from one skyscraper to another in Abu Dhabi. In some ways, this film managed to redefine the franchise, introducing a more personal and emotional dimension while also pushing the boundaries of cinematic action.
A saga that has always been criticized but never achieved
The Fast and Furious saga has often been criticized, especially for its unrealistic scenarios and sometimes simplistic dialogues. In addition, the series’ change of direction, which ignored the street racing aspect, disappointed more than one person. However, that didn’t stop the franchise from becoming one of the most lucrative in film history. Upon its release, Fast 7 was the fifth highest-grossing film in cinema history! Each new work attracts millions of viewers around the world and generates colossal revenue with each release. From now on, fans appreciate the development of the characters and the increasing power of the action scenes, which become more and more daring as the saga progresses. Despite divided opinions, the commercial success of the 7th installment proves that the franchise has captured the attention and affection of a large audience, making it a “textbook” in the film industry.
