Review - Rush

Two individuals with their own qualities, one is Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) and the playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth). Not only they race, they pushed everything to the limit.

Niki Lauda is a former Winner of Grandprix in the World. James Hunt, well he never been a winner of Grandprix but he becomes the shadow of Niki Lauda. He always comes second, and waits when Niki going to made mistakes and he will take the opportunity in just seconds. They are competitor.

Niki Lauda is a man with calculation, married a beautiful wife, stick with only one woman in his career. He is the good boy with lots of achievements in his back. One day in a track race, he requested a meeting because based on his calculation, they won't make it alive in that track. The heavy rain is pouring, the track is known crazy, but all of the other racers laughs including James Hunt.

The race is still on, and Niki Lauda's car was burnt in the track. He suffered with severe injuries, burnt all over his lungs, and also he quickly replaced by someone else. One of the scene that I remember quite vividly is the moment they have to pump the blood from his lung. Its a torture, even seeing it is already a torture.

See the accident, it struck James Hunt. He realized that, he could be killed at anytime. Just a single mistakes, then he could be killed easily.

From this movie we could learn that unfortunate events that we experience bring us two options, we drown in or we fight it back and become the champion. Niki Lauda is really a role model for life, but James Hunt really know how to enjoy life.

The choice is yours in this life, everything gone with the consequences. I give this movie 3,8/4 stars!
