Gone in 60 Seconds
Good morning/afternoon my fellow crime fiction fans and we are here gathered today at the crime fiction convention. I have been given the opportunity to be here and talk to you about the crime movie Gone in 60 Seconds.
The movie I will be discussing is a remake of the 1974 of the same name and was directed by Henri Halicki. The remake does not have the exact same plot, because in the original movie the protagonist and his crew stole the cars only for cold hard cash. In the remake, however, the protagonist performed the crime because he had to save his brother’s life.
I am standing here to tell you how this movie has reflected and challenged society’s ideas at the time when it was made. But before I delve further into that I think it will be necessary to briefly talk about the plot of the movie, because not many people know this movie.
The movie starts off with Kip, our protagonist’s brother, stealing a very expensive car and ending up losing the car because of the police. Due to him failing to submit the car he is tortured by the antagonist, named Callitri in the movie. NICOLAS Cage, or Randall Raines, then comes into the movie and strikes a deal with the antagonist, and the deal is he steals 50 high end cars in 3 days. He is forced to do Callitri’s bidding because if he fails to do it his brother’s life will be taken. Randall achieves the impossible by acquiring the help of his old buddies who, like him, are very good at what they do, which is boosting cars. Angelina Jones is also in the movie, and her portrayal in the movie challenges the ideas of society which I will go into detail later on.
Tracking down the 50 cars is easy, but the time limit is the problem. Little did Randall and his team know that the detective who has been tracking Randall down for a long time has been tipped off about the heist and is lying in wait.
Randall has changed his life around, much like his old friends. He now makes a living out of teaching kids how to go-kart, Otto has
