Yesterday night, I have been to this movie "RUSH" directed by Ron Howard. The fact the Ron Howard directed "The Beautiful mind" and the imdb rating of this movie were impressive.
The movie is a true story which happened during 1976 when Formula 1 racing was gaining popularity and fame. It shows the rivalry between two F1 racing world champions James Hunt and Niki Lauda.
Niki Lauda comes from a well to do business family in Austria and want to race for his living. He does not get ant support from his family. SO he takes a huge bank loan from his life insurance policy and gets into the racing industry.
James Hunt hailing from Britain is a Casanova and a play boy who is ready to risk life in every race he is in. James Hunt and Niki Lauda were F3 racers in the beginning and get into F1. Niki Lauda signs for Ferrari and James hunt with another company.
James and Niki strive to become No 1 in every race and Niki wins most of the times. Niki s well disciplined, does not hang out in bars after the race and his policy is early to bed and early to rise. On the other side James partys all the time and goes out with girls.
Niki is known for the accident which happened in 1976 on German track. It was raining when the race is about to start and Niki calls for an emergency meeting with all F1 drivers. He proposes to cancel the race as its too dangerous to race in the rain. But James complains that Niki will have an advantage over the players in gaining points as others would also get no points for this race. Thus the race kick off and unfortunately Niki gets into an accident and will be struck in the burning car at 800 degree centigrade for about a minute. He inhales hot fumes from the flames and thus have to get his lungs cleaned up which is the most painful part of the whole treatment. His face got permanently disfigured, yet he gets back on to the track within six weeks.
Niki wins the first race immediately after his accident and gains back the rank on the score board. The final race of the season which decides who will be world champion be in 1976 is going to be help in Japan. Unfortunately it rains on that day too and after one lap, Niki gets away from the race thinking that his life will be at risk. If James can get atleast third position in the race, then James will become the World Champion and James was ready to lose his life to win this race. He drives hard through the rain and finishes third.
From Niki's point of view, James proved to the world that he can be a world champion and James retired from F1 racing. James died at 45 due to heart attack and Niki says that he was not surprised but a bit sad to know about the death of the person whom he respected personally, though people thought they both were rivals.
Niki continues to race and becomes world champion again after seven years in 1984. This movies potrays two characters, James and Niki. James, ready to risk his life, and feels more lively when life is at stake and a playboy character who takes pleasures out of the life. Niki who is more disciplined and comes back on track was patient and consistent to become world champion after seven years.
