dimanche, août 20, 2006 The Fast and the Furious III: Tokyo Drift  How cool is this show? Cool cars and hot girls - if it weren't for the need of a flimsy plot, we wouldn't even need the guys in there.Plot: Little boy in the USA totals his car in an illegal (is there any other kind?) street race and gets sent off to his dad's in Tokyo Japan to avoid juvy. First day in and he meets the girl, gets into a street race, totals another car, makes a new enemy, and racks up a huge debt for the totalled car. Blah blah blah Yazuka get involved, and the whole thing culminates in a drift race (read: apply the brakes and skid smoothly round crazy hair-pin bends) on a mountain. Of course the little boy pulls through and gets the girl - but not before a mentor figure gets killed, and he reconciles with his dad in an attempt to right his wrongs. There's a little too much close-up racing - I wanted to see more long shots where I could see the track they were running, instead of the shaky-camera cinematography which we were treated to. But other than that, the movie was 1h45m of pure fun. Fetishisation of Jap culture wasn't too badly done either - the cosplay and massive number of people, plus the complete lack of space was just presented as matter-of-fact, and there wasn't too many "look here! THIS IS JAPANESE!" shots to irritate me. [The Fast and the Furious III: Tokyo Drift] |
