Rush (2013 Film) - Possible Spoilers

Meant to start this thread a few days ago but I forgot. Anyway, I watched this movie last week and I had a general idea that it was about a rivalry between two Formula 1 racers. That was about the extent of my knowledge. I am not a big racing fan and I don't know much about Formula 1, but I think this movie was pretty good.

The intense rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda was much more dramatic than I knew, and I had no idea Niki Lauda was involved in such a gruesome crash. The scenes of his recovery were very difficult to watch.

Speaking of Niki Lauda, he was portrayed by Daniel Bruhl, who some people may better remember from Inglorious Basterds as the glorified German sniper who was said to have killed over a hundred allied soldiers. He does a fantastic job in this movie as Lauda.

In the end, it's a great movie with a great message. The moral of the movie is about the competition between two individuals and in the end, even though they act hostile to each other, they realize that they need each other to bring out the best in one another (Hunt being a partying ladies man with more natural talent for racing and Lauda being a calculating, risk-driven driver who is almost addicted to winning). The ending indicates they had a tremendous amount of respect for one another. Give it a shot if you were on the fence about it.
