It's Monday and I have had quite an epic weekend with much more to talk about after this. That said, hopefully you caught my video with my good friend, film enthusiast Jon Cross after watching Furious Seven as it roared through the box office. Reviews are mixed but the film is still generally loved by the majority of the fans of the franchise who have stuck around since its conception nearly fifteen years ago.
Furious Seven, as it is titled on the screen in the U.S., was the third and last film to release posthumously after lead actor Paul Walker lost his life on November 30, 2013 while on holiday break from filming the movie. Thanks in large part to WETA digital, Walker's brothers Caleb and Cody, and actor and co-star John Brotherton reportedly stood in for the late actor as filming re-commenced in Abu Dhabi in Spring of 2014 with Universal Pictures forced to reconfigure their marketing plans for the franchise, as well as the production itself, which also meant forseeing a proper exit for the late actor's character, Brian O'Connor, all of which appear to be getting some good grades from studio insiders as of this week, particularly with considerable work on behalf of recording artists, singer Charlie Puth and hip-hop artist Wiz Khalifa for their hit song, "See You Again".
This song is truly haunting and it literally plays on repeat in my head, and I think most fans of the saga will understand that. Paul Walker was loved by many with an appreciation rooted in a franchise that turned itself into something incredible in its evolution. Action, drama and thrills, and a heavy dash of poignancy are all that culminate this franchise, with great music, and in lieu of tragedy, the triumph of unity amid the remembrance of an actor and philanthropist who, as I would bet his closest friends and family would attest to, stood for more in life than material things.
The official soundtrack is now available wherever music is sold, and with this, Walker's memory lives on as it does in the brand new music video for "See You Again" which you can watch below. If you need to cry, I recommend letting it out. I'm sure anyone near you would understand.
