I watched the movie Rush last week, and it is superb! The actors who play James Hunt and Niki Lauda have an uncanny resemblance to the real life characters, adding to the realism imparted by this film.
It is not a movie with high speed synchronized “racing”, but is a movie that is able to show the personalities of the two drivers. And even better, it demonstrates just why we race, and that includes me and all race drivers, irrespective of the formula or level being competed in.
Rush the movie.
Sure there were errors of fact and juxtaposition of time and rain at Japan which could turn into sunshine by the time the cars came down pit lane, but it is not a documentary. It is a movie set in an F1 background about two very different people, who just happen to be F1 drivers and cut-throat competitors.
If you enjoy movies with a Formula 1 theme, then don’t miss this one. I enjoyed it so much I am going to see it again.
