Rush. The James Hunt Film

[Jen]

James Hunt was one of my all time favourites - nonsense, bravura and ability, all rolled up to make an imperfect, but beguiling human. If the film captures any of that, then good on it. Stats can be found elsewhere!

Well I liked the film. But then I did watch all of it so...

I would have known that. Are you assuming that I would have 'given in' instantly?

What do I like in a man: intelligence, humour, joie de vivre, positivity, daring and a sense of nonsense.

I really liked the movie. Not always accurate but I didn't care, I thought it developed the characters exceptionally and did a decent job of capturing the essence of F1 in that era. Very entertaining too. As for some other F1 movies, Senna is a pretty fascinating documentary if not always the most subjective, and 1 is another documentary that tells the history of F1 through the lens of safety and danger. Very cool footage, and very interesting, but its a shame that they always play music over the engine noise.

Mephistopheles - We can vouch for your sense of nonsense.

I must have watched another version of this film or something because the Rush I watched was thoroughly engaging and entertaining. I really enjoyed it.

I loved the movie. My wife enjoyed it too and she isnt even an auto racing fan. I didnt really know much about Hunt or Lauda before seeing the movie but it certainly made me a Hunt fan (who wouldnt want to be him?) and respect Lauda (not a nice guy by any sense of the word but clearly a very intelligent man).
