Furious 7

I regret not getting into the Fast and Furious franchise way sooner than I did. I've known about the movies for several years but I never really got to the point of actually watching them. I remember seeing commercials for each one as they rolled out but never felt interested enough to see any of them. Not until I saw previews for Furious did I say to myself "Dammit, it's about time I watched those movies and became a Fast fan." So I began a marathon last Tuesday and managed to get through all 6 Fast movies before seeing Furious 7 last night with a friend. Never did I think I would/could get so emotional about the death of an actor than I have with Paul Walker. When I heard about his death, I hadn't really thought much about it since I wasn't a huge fan of the Fast franchise and didn't know who Paul was. After seeing all 7 movies and watching the "See You Again" music video several times, I've come to the point where I start crying not even 20 seconds into the song. 

There's a final scene between Brian (Paul) and Dom (Vin Diesel), and they smile at each other one last time in their cars, Dom in his usual car and Brian in a white Supra. They drive off together and then eventually go separate ways when the road splits. It's so sad watching them part ways and know that symbolically it's meaning that Paul is going to heaven and Dom is continuing his work. What's even more amazing is the fact that I only marathoned through the films last week, and even in that small timeframe I saw what Paul was like and how he lived life. It makes me miss him so much even though I never really knew him. Last night I was watching the music video for his tribute, and it was the most I've ever cried about a celebrity ever. It hits the feels when I watch Vin smile at Paul's CGI face and see Paul's life in that one shot, and then they part ways. 

Like I've said several times before already: Rest In Peace Paul Walker. You will be forever missed but forever remembered.
