00:00Michael Bay is a filmmaker who thinks of his shots like a puzzle.
00:03He places his cameras everywhere, films the action, and makes sure he has all the elements at his disposal.
00:07and assembles them without necessarily knowing what it will look like.
00:10It's a risk that doesn't always pay off, but Byte Boys 2 is chaotically enjoyable.
00:15And in this specific case, method B works wonders.
00:17It's chaotic and meticulously planned at the same time, but above all, it's inventive.
00:21And to prove it to you, I'm going to go back to two scenes in particular, and we'll start with the introduction.
00:25Here we find our duo infiltrating a Ku Klux Klan meeting.
00:28Will Smith appears from a low angle, two seconds of slow motion, three cuts,
00:33and we discover him with his arms outstretched, like Messi.
00:35After that, the situation is introduced humorously, and the character traits of the two characters are highlighted.
00:40A trigger-happy maniac and a coward.
00:42Then it all starts, we don't know who's shooting at whom, but it's a bloodbath.
00:45The cavalry arrives, and then we have this plan that came out of nowhere.
00:49Bullet time, as expected in 2003.
00:51Mike fires, the camera follows the bullet, which goes through glass, Marcus's ass.
00:56before landing in the jugular of a fascist.
00:59And you might ask me, why?
01:00Well, simply because of Michael Bay.
01:03Other cool plans were in place for the shootout,
01:05But we'll settle for that, and it's already an introduction that sets the tone.
01:09The second significant shooting occurred shortly before the first hour.
01:12in a confined space, a setting that will allow the scene to be incredibly inventive.
01:17The circular movement helps to delineate the two camps.
01:19to offer a true understanding of space,
01:21and above all, beyond any analysis, to offer us a super cool scene.
01:25The set elements are then used skillfully.
01:28to get rid of the enemy and advance the narratives.
01:31We're in a bubble for a few minutes.
01:33And we digest this little gem which adds to an already very spicy film.
