Just watched Rush. Very enjoyable, even when you know who's going to win. Some uncanny likenesses, eg Chris Hemsworth as James Hunt. I went with my son who's about the age I was when it all happened for real - but he didn't know what was going to happen - (unlike the cinema's other handful of customers) -  that Hunt was going to scrape through at the last lap, while Lauda was the moral victor. Whilst I idolized Hunt, modern kids are all more like Niki Lauda. Focused. Hunt seems like a buccaneering throwback, an Errol Flynn out of his time. Or, as my son acutely said, a vague romantic Englishman in the mould of Scott to Lauda's calculating precise Amundsen. The interesting difference is that Lauda displayed all the physical courage of Scott. He comes out of the film very well - the benefit of being the survivor. If Hunt was still alive, an older statesman in his 60's, this would have been a different movie - if made at all.

It's a good movie though.
If you were alive in England in 70's, or even if you want to know what 'life was like' then (one of my other son's favourite expressions) this is well worth a watch. Have to be quick though. Only about 10 people watching it tonight...
