Comments on the infinite players in the real world of "The Fast and the Merry"

Based on real events, the film "Merry Go" tells the story of Austrian racing driver Niki Lauda and British racing driver James Hunt competing against each other on a circuit in the 1970s. Key, played by Baron Zemo in "Captain 3", and Hunter played by our hammer brother "Thor", three years after "The Rider", the two "drivers" meet again, but they change a way of competition.

In addition to this, there are many cameos from film and television actors, including our "Little Rose of High Court" Margaery Tyrell, and Noah Taylor, who I don't know what it's called but you must have seen.

When screenwriter Pete Morgan originally wrote the script, he thought that the film would be a very small production film, and did not arrange any racing scenes, thinking that the "race" was not on the track, but between the personalities of the two protagonists. .

Therefore, when the protagonists appeared in the camera in a disguised F3 car, although some irregular changes were made to meet the needs of the film, the jury composed of professional F1 drivers, after watching the movie It was still highly rated.

The whole film is directed by the actor-born Lang Howard. The plot is not sloppy, and it moves quickly but is extremely compact. At the end of the film, the voice-over that is inserted without abruptness is what I think is the whole film. The most worthwhile place to explore.

Of course he didn't listen to me. For James, one title is enough. He has proved what he wants to prove. To himself and to all who questioned him, he retired after two years. Seeing him again was seven years later, in London. I won the championship again, and he was the announcer. Riding a bike with flat tires barefoot and still making every day feel like the last. When I heard that he died of a heart attack at 45, I wasn't surprised, just heartbroken. People always think we're competitors, but he's one of the few that I like and one of the fewer that I respect. Also the only one I'm jealous of.

First of all, for me, when I read this text for the first time, I felt quite puzzled in some places, because this is the text narrated from Nicky's point of view, or it is in a The words described from the perspective of Europeans, why did Hunter not continue to pursue higher achievements after winning the coveted world championship? He gave up his next chance to be a world champion, willingly became a newscaster, and spent his later years riding barefoot on a deflated bicycle, as well when I first saw it Da was just as sorry.

However, perhaps it is such a Hunter that he can compete with Nicky.

In James Cass's "The Finite and Infinite Game" there are two kinds of human beings, or only two types of human beings, they are finite players (for the purpose of winning) and infinite players (for the purpose of continuing the game) , and Hunter is obviously the former, and Nicky is the latter. Let's change the way of thinking. If Hunter is as careful and calculating as Nicky, will he still be the world champion?

I don't think he is a world champion. He may only be a third-rate racing driver all his life, because he is cautious not to win the third place in Japan and become the world champion. Will shine in F3 events, and will not be seen by the McLaren team, so he has done the best he can because he is the world champion, even if Nicky is in a few years later. This is beyond his points, he is still the world champion, or it is more important for Hunter to gain the feeling than to lose, when Nicky and Hunter parted, Nicky persuaded him to continue the game, and Hunter eventually retired after two years, living every day as if it were his last.

In this way, he stepped on the accelerator desperately on the track and let his life burn on the track, which helped him win one victory after another. Of course, we know that the final victory is after he won the world championship trophy. , when Hunter reached a peak, he no longer misses those mountains.

There was once a climber who liked to challenge peaks. He had climbed many mountains in his life, but at this moment he was still short of the top of Mount Everest, and the distance between him and himself was 8844.43 kilometers. When he reached the summit in a state of lack of oxygen, the sun shone especially brightly under the thin air. After he descended the mountain, he buried his climbing equipment at the foot of the mountain, and he did not climb any mountain after that. Mountains and rivers, even if it is just a mound of less than 100 meters.

That's all I want to say, if Hunter hadn't wanted to win the world championship with a mortal determination, then he wouldn't have achieved what he had in the past, but it was this kind of thinking that ruined Hunter's career. He may have I don't like the F1 track at all. He puts the result more important than the process.

I can't make a conclusion on Hunter's life, just like I don't know whether my life should reach a goal with a mortal determination, or fight and retreat in this vortex to win a stable ending, I often fantasize about runes Just like Kei, he is a good husband in life, a king in competitions, and spends his life cautiously and stably.

But if you search on Wikipedia, you will find the name of Niki Lauda . His life is too legendary. I don't think there will be another Niki in a hundred years. Niki is a wealthy Austrian businessman. His son, he has no intention of inheriting the family property and he insists on driving an F1 car. If he fails, then his end is to go home and inherit the Wanguan family property. If Nicky doesn't look like a "rat" with a bunch of buck teeth, then this It's a real world version of Mary Sue's novel, and in a way, Hunter is already a long way behind Nicky from the start, so the rigorous and calculating Nicky will be the winner no matter what, it's just whether it follows that His own heart, and Hunter can only treat every day as the last day of his life, relying on this strong belief to overcome himself and Nicky.

Hunter has struggled with his depressed attitude, alcoholism, and business failure ever since, and by the age of 40, he seems to have given up most of his vices (especially alcohol and tobacco), and he finally feels happy, with him. The joys include his new partner Helen, his healthy life, and his bike.

In this healthy and happy lifestyle, not long after the beginning, God seems to have made a joke with Hunter.

Hunt proposed to Helen just hours before he died at his Wimbledon home in 1993 at the age of 45 after suffering a heart attack.

So far, this purely limited player has officially come to an end, and many new players in this world are logging in one after another...

    Niki Lauda: Of course he didn't listen to me. For James, one world title was enough. He had proved what he needed to prove. To himself and anyone who doubted him. And two years later, he retired. When I saw him next in London, seven years later, me as a champion again, him as broadcaster, he was barefoot on a bicycle with a flat tire, still living each day like his last. When I heard he died age 45 of a heart attack, I wasn't surprised. I was just sad. People always think of us as rivals but he was among the very few I liked and even fewer that I respected. He remains the only person I envied.

    Niki Lauda: Twenty five drivers start every season in Formula One, and each year two of us die. What kind of person does a job like this? Not normal men, for sure. Rebels, lunatics, dreamers. People who are that desperate to make a mark, and are prepared to die trying. My name is Niki Lauda, and racing people know me for two things. The first is my rivalry with him.

    [James Hunt]

    Niki Lauda: I don't know why it became such a big thing. We were just drivers busting each other's balls. To me this is perfectly normal, but other people saw in differently. That whatever it was between us went deeper. The other thing I'm remembered for is what happened on 1st August 1976, when I was chasing him like an asshole...
