Norman David Bella the world is obliged by the fact that there were films about parkour. After all, he is the founder of this extreme sport. David early began to improve the body and mastered the basics of athletics, some martial arts, excelled in gymnastics and mountaineering. This helped him in creating a new discipline - the science of overcoming various obstacles (usually within the city). The main thing in parkour is the ideal possession of one's own body. For tracers (those who are engaged in parkour) there are no barriers - whether it is a tall fence, a building, trees or parapets.
Children of the wind
Belle's companions on the Yamakashi team created a dilogy - these are the parksur films Yamakashi: New Samurai and Yamakashi-2: Children of the Wind. Guys with brilliance used their skills and abilities. The first of the films was taken by the master Luc Besson. In the center of the story is the brave seven tracers who are trying to help the boy Jamel find money for the complicated heart transplant operation. However, these films about parkour passed without the participation of David himself. He opposed the commercialization of his offspring. For the same reasons, he did not tour with former colleagues who performed tricks in the sensational musical - the pride of the French - "Notre Dame de Paris."
About the 13th district
But in 2004 - under the script of the same Besson (he was also the producer of the picture) - Pierre Morel put the classics of the section "films about parkour": "13th district". And Belle played in the action movie one of the main roles. His character Leito becomes an assistant to the special forces Damien Thomaso. They both need to enter the den of the bandit K2, which runs in the criminal 13th district of the French capital. This is a real paradise for drug dealers and murderers. Leito has a personal interest: the thugs hold his sister Lola in hostage. Together with Captain Damien, they must stop K2, because in the hands of a madman - a neutron bomb, which he is about to bring into combat readiness. The captain was played by the champion of France in Chinese boxing Cyril Kuenel Raffaelli. Both actors and their heroes met in the sequel to the tape "13th District: Ultimatum". It was filmed after 5 years also with Besson's light hand. Now the main characters are confronted already by representatives of five gangs. And the wall separating the ill-fated area from the rest of the city, has become even higher. Parkour fans enthusiastically met the dilogy and are waiting for the promised continuation - the trikvel has already been announced. The prequel soundtrack also became a legend, but already of the French rap.
In memory of the actor
The 2013 2013 movie about parkour is, first of all, the movie "Brick Mansion", filmed last year. In the rental it should be released in May 2014. This is a remake of the "13th district", again marked in it by David Belle. But his partner Damien played Paul Walker, most recently so early and ridiculously passed away. Despite his death, which threatened the initial plot of the 7th "Fast and the Furious", the premiere of the "Brick Mansion" should not fail: the actor managed to finish the shooting. So the section "films about parkour" (list-2013), replenished with one more work revered by many artists. It's a shame when the favorites of the public leave this world young. But the pictures with their participation remain.
