Look, nobody here is going to admit to being a fan of the Fast and the Furious franchise. Shitty plot lines, overacting, cheesy AF dialogue, stunts that are so unrealistic that they may as well be from the Avengers series. But, I found them to be entertaining for the most part, though admittedly a lot of times it was just background noise. But the franchise is over 20 years old, you start to at least relate to the characters as you grow old with them.
Paul Walker died in real life I think during the shooting of Fast 7. Final scene, the crew is sitting on the beach while watching Brian (Paul's character) and his wife play with their son. Anyways, they were commenting how beautiful it was. Al the years of doing crazy shit with cars and that was the scene that resonated with them and me. Vince Diesel walks off without saying bye to the group and it shows him and another car, presumably Brian, who has been his partner in crime for 20 years, riding away from the beach to "till I see you again."
Never thought Paul was a great actor but he played the part of Brian well. And I'm a few years younger than him, but it hit home. Not just that he died a tragic death in real life, but it puts into perspective that we're all getting old and what's important to us is taking care of our family. All the other stuff, is just noise. Great life experiences, but ultimately what's important to you is right in front of you. Playing with your wife and son at the beach. So yea, almost cried.
