They used to be the best in the F1 field in the 1970s, and they have known each other since they first fled. In six years, they have each stepped from the low-level Formula 3 cars to the F1 Formula One races. Together, they gradually grew up from unknown pawns and climbed side by side to the top of the F1 race.
Different life situations have created a world of difference in their personalities. James Hunt is aggressive and casual, never following the rules. He enjoys in time, can't do without smoking, alcohol, and sex, and treats every day as the last day. Niki Lauda is a typical German character, proficient in technology and numbers, regular work and rest, meticulous, and strict with himself. Desperate and conservative, loyal and chaotic, unruly and rigorous... Their personalities are like two parallel lines, they will never overlap, but their enthusiasm for racing makes them intertwined and become fans of racing forever. topic of.
We usually prefer people like James, blond, blue-eyed, full of fascinating hormones, and a pair of clear blue eyes can light up the gloomy sky on the field after the rain. Just like in school, we usually treat handsome bad boys differently and ignore the three good students who study hard. We are envious of James' casual life, just as we always hope that there is another self in the world, living a life different from ourselves, and doing things that we dare not do.
Niki, who has a less likable personality, is the most respectable player in F1, just like James. The greatest charm of sports competitions lies in the inability to predict what will happen during the competition. The greatest charm of the car is the thrill of passing by without knowing when it will pass by the god of death. In a race to compete for the world championship, Niki was seriously injured and nearly killed in an accident, but returned to the competition after six weeks. Because in his eyes, competing with James is his greatest motivation to fight death.
"Don't treat the enemy in your life as a curse, it's also a gift from heaven."
Until the end, we didn't know that the story of the movie was adapted from real people, which also made some clichés in the movie seem less important. In the real image data, the aging Niki still stares at the stadium intently, while James died early at the age of 45 due to a heart attack. They have chosen two completely different lifestyles and attitudes towards life. There is no right or wrong, and they are equally great and worth remembering.
At the end of the film, we once again saw the scene where the F1 race is about to start. The roar of the racing engine, coupled with the deafening cheers and heartbeats of the audience, will make you feel that the sound of the racing car is the most beautiful melody in the world. The high-speed rotating wheels set off dust and dust, and the surrounding heat heralds another life and death that is about to happen
soon ... It is worth mentioning that the soundtrack throughout the film is tragic and moving, and the name of the music is also quite meaningful. Lost but won. We may have been frustrated at a certain time in our lives, but when we treat it as a gift from heaven, we may live out another wonderful life.
