Rush: Two Thumbs Up!

Rush, based on the true story of the revelry of Austrian car racer Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) and British car racer, James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and the bitter fight to become the world champion. Everything was perfect in this movie, the actors were casted appropriately, and the 1970’s soundtrack was very authentic to the film and time period. 

During Formula 1 race, in Nurburgring, Germany, Lauda’s car crash which trapped in a fire ball of flames of 800 degrees for a whole minute was one of scarcest scenes in a movie this year. His recovery and his hospital stay, while he watched James Hunt racing was his core motivation to race earlier than expected by his physicians. Produced by Andrew Easton, Eric Fellner, Morgan and Howard (Universal Pictures along with Exclusive Media Group, Working Title Films, Imagine Films, and Revolution Films), created an unforgettable movie which will keep viewers thinking about the story plot for hours.

The soundtrack to Rush included originally track titles, produced by none other than the legendary Hans Zimmer.  Including classical titles, such as “1976,” “Car Trouble,” and “Lost but Won,” was an impressive score with award winning potential. Zimmer has out done himself, producing many award winning soundtracks, such as The Lion King and Crimson Tide, continues to wow audiences with his work. Distributed by Water House Music (which is owned by Warner Brothers and acts as in house label to produce their own soundtracks), this soundtrack adds a genuine aspect to the film.

My question for the readers- Is it better to live a safe predictable life and not live each day to the fullest? Why or why not? Do you believe car racing is too risky?
