Furious 7 - 'FOR PAUL'

[deltawings]

This post is dedicated to Paul Walker, who is no longer with us to celebrate the success of Furious 7, and also for all his fans here in QT. Not many celebrity deaths upset me. Watching Furious 7 knowing that Paul is not alive was deeply saddening.

 

 

"Hey, you thought you could leave without saying goodbye?" Brian says, his last line in any Fast and Furious film.

The two begin to drive, side-by-side, through the Malibu canyon, and Dominic begins speaking in voice-over: "I used to say I live life a quarter-mile at a time. And that's why we were brothers. Because you did, too."

A montage of moments from previous films begins, again with Dominic's voice: "No matter where you are, whether it's a quarter-mile away or halfway around the world, you'll always be with me and you'll always be my brother."

 

An overhead shot of the two cars, driving together, and they come upon a gentle fork in the road, Walker's white exotic drifting to the left, Diesel's silver Dodge staying on the main route. The camera pans up to the sun, and the screen goes blindingly white, with two words flashing onscreen: 'FOR PAUL'.

 

 

Paul, you worked hard to earn all you had, and lived an amazing life with fame, well deserved success and a lot of cars. Such an amazing tribute at the end! Really sad that we will not see you grow to be an old man with a long, much celebrated career.. Your legacy will continue to live forever! Rest in peace...

Not going to lie... I teared up when I watched it.

I haven't seen it yet but his death was unsettling.  Always seemed like just a regular guy like I would hang out with.  Didn't seem to buy into his own hype, although who could blame him if he did?  That was a sad one for sure.
