Just watched the first "The Fast and the Furious" movie all the way through for the first time

 I could not believe the subtext/chemistry between Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker, RIP). And I couldn't believe it was unintentional. Holy geez, I don't think Hot Fuzz was as slashy. 

I loved Brian, Dom, Dom/Brian, Mia, and the whole Toretto gang. I was so sad when Jesse died. Johnny Tran was in the movie surprisingly little; his plot was more like a subplot and an excuse to have more interaction between Brian and Dom rather than a central aspect.

And I loved those two together. Brian rescuing Dom from the cops, Dom inviting Brian into his house, garage, and his life, Dom taking up for Brian in from of his gang, Brian throwing away his career for Dom . . . LOVED IT. And now I'm already planning to see The Fate of the Furious.

It's one of those movies that falls apart the moment you think about it, but I can forgive a lot of its flaws just because it's so much fun. Why did Dom instantly trust Brian? Because of LOVE. Love at first sight, I tell you.
