Starring Daniel Brühl, Chris Hemsworth, Olivia Wilde, Natalie Dormer. In the end Lauda sums it up best by quoting Spanish Jesuit Baltasar Braciá: “A wise man gets more from his enemies than a fool from his friends.” While Rush may not teach us to love our enemies, it certainly reminds us that we can appreciate our opponents. More than a movie about racing, Rush delves into the intricate relationship between these very different men and the unappreciated benefits of their ongoing friction and rampant competition. (In one instance Hunt partakes and then hits the course-don’t try this at home kids.) Finally expect over a dozen sexual expletives (one in a sexual context) in addition to other crude anatomical, scatological and religious terms. If that’s not enough to flatten your tires, you’ll also be privy to various sexual encounters that include breast and buttock nudity, scenes of illegal drug use, lots of drinking and tobacco smoking. Off the track a character beats another, leaving him with bloody facial injuries. Medical procedures are depicted graphically, and aren’t for the faint of heart. Violent depictions of racing accidents include what appear to be a decapitated corpse and a partially missing leg with a bone exposed. However parents should carefully heed the film’s R-rating. Positive messages are available in superbly crafted movie with solid performances and incredible makeup effects and cinematography. While the incident forever alters Lauda physically, it also emotionally scars Hunt and his perception of the “enemy”. As feared by Lauda, the treacherous conditions do lead to a horrific accident-one that leaves him nearly dead. Equally bold in sharing his opinion, James Hunt uses his swagger to persuade the crowd of other drivers that the Austrian is only using the weather as an excuse to eliminate a potential loss. Even though Lauda holds the record on the course, he’s convinced the race should be cancelled for safety reasons. It’s been raining on the already difficult track at Nürburgring Germany. That gives him the edge just often enough to keep him in the running. But Formula 1 racing is a sport that demands fearless participants and Hunt, either through stupidity or an overdose of testosterone, drives like he’s immortal. Lauda’s consistency, ability to manage risks and his inherent interest in the sport-from the design of the tracks to the intricate mechanical nature of the cars-provides a solid foundation that delivers positive results. Race after race these two competitors come to the finish line one behind the other. However the relationship does little to mellow the man who can’t leave danger alone. After his sponsor stongly encourages him to settle down and lead a more responsible life he marries Suzy Miller (Oliva Wilde), a beautiful woman with a modelling career. (These exploits are depicted in various sexual scenes, some of which include nudity). They include fueling his need for risk-taking behavior, speed and-possibly the biggest benefit-attracting women wherever he goes. ![]() For him the appeals of the sport are entirely different. ![]() On the other side of the track is the passionate James Hunt. His acquaintance with others at the corporation eventually brings Lauda into the life of Marlene (Alexandra Maria Lara), a woman who proves to be an understanding support for a man afraid happiness may distract him from winning. After tinkering with the Ferrari he squeezes out an impressive performance improvement and wins the founder’s approval. But Lauda’s skills behind the wheel also extend to his technical abilities under the hood. Never a man to soften his words, his single-minded determination eventually leads him to the Ferrari company where, after taking one of their prized vehicles around the track, he tells Enzo Ferrari (Augusto Dallara) his vehicle is (substituting for a scatological term) akin to garbage. Unabated he manages to get the cash together without their blessing. Lauda comes from a wealthy family that is determined to stop him from participating in the expensive sport by using their influence to keep him from obtaining the money he requires. Based on the real lives of Formula 1 race drivers James Hunt (played Chris Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (played by Daniel Brühl), the script details their careers over a period of years during the 1970s when they were staunch opponents on the racetrack. And although they are polar opposites, it’s hard to feel empathy for either. Ron Howard tackles a tough script in the movie Rush where he deals with not one but two protagonists.
