A movie about racing. I have always liked racing, many people do, because of the excitement!
Many years ago, racing was really a sport with a high mortality rate, and the background in which the film unfolded was quite contemporary. People who are racing drivers are either lunatics seeking the thrill of death, or cool racing drivers who make a living out of it. The film also tells about two different types, who regard each other as their ultimate rivals. Their careers are so similar. They are determined to be racing drivers without the support of their families. They have never been known as third-rate drivers. , are among the F1 ranks.
Many times, the British "Little Prince" Hunter was photographed vomiting before the game, and he said it was a habit. In fact, I think it was because he was so afraid to vomit. He felt the cruelty of this sport. How many people are not afraid of facing death? ? Austrian "Little Mouse" Lauren is a technical nerd. He said that he only drives for money, but he left his family with a broken boat and took out a huge loan to enter the racing world. He is only making money by working hard with his life?
They are opposite sides, a passionate berserker, a calm and dedicated swordsman, their understanding of racing, understanding of life, their views on marriage and the process of life are not similar at all! However, they are indeed the most suitable for racing, because the kind of rubbing shoulders with death, "staring at death and escaping from its hands" requires this kind of desperate courage. When the little mouse was lying on the hospital bed with serious injuries, the only thing that made him die was to stare at the TV broadcast of the little prince's victory again and again, to stand in front of him again, and to compete with him, so that he could endure all the pain and return to the arena the pillars. The little prince's final belief in victory made him risk his life to complete the dangerous journey.
The last paragraph is the difference between their two personalities and outlook on life. One is because family and lovers can give up taking risks to win the championship. He lived selfishly and freely in this way, so he tried his best to continue driving all the laps. Of course, calm people can live and continue their careers, and crazy people seem to be satisfied with their achievements in racing so they retreat to enjoy life, and die of a heart attack at the age of 45, which is also the way to die for him, fast!
Maybe, tell you, a total of 45 years of life, don't you want to burn once? Destroy everything, enjoy all the luxury, decide what you like, do it, and do it thoroughly! This is the happy life!
Although the two of them have nothing in common, they respect each other and thank each other. Because "the opponent is not a punishment from God, but a gift". Yes! There is an evenly matched opponent, chasing each other and enjoying such a process, what a blessing!

Rush quotes

    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...
