guy who played Niki Lauda deserved oscar nomination
not just a nomination
His name is Daniel Brühl
Even Lauda himself said the portrayal was perfect
fr tho he was AWESOME
He was snubbed
How this movie didn't get a single Oscar nomination I will never know
adi pramana It is really bizarre. I don't think it should've won Best Picture, as Life of Pi and Wolf of Wall Street were superb, but Rush definitely should have been on the nominations above the likes of Argo (okay at best), Lincoln (dull), Zero Dark Thirty (okay I guess, long) and Django fucking Unchained.
+Chris Dynamo I loved this film, but I also thought Argo, Lincoln, Zero Dark Thirty and Django Unchained were all phenomenal movies.
Solarstar10 It's okay to not like a film mate, you don't have to think positively of everything!
+Chris Dynamo I never said it wasn't ok to not like a film. I was just stating my opinion that I personally thought those other films were pretty great.
Solarstar10 Even Argo?? How?
When Niki had the car accident I absolutely hated Hunt but then when Hunt beat the shit into that reporter I couldn't make my mind up who I liked more. I'm also half English and half German so it was hard to decide which one of them I liked more lol. Movie was awesome!
sucks to be you!
Actually, it's very easy because Lauda is Austrian, not German, and I think the F1-"hero" of most German fans is Michael Schumacher, not Niki Lauda (btw, get well soon, Schumi!) On the other hand, I just think that Lauda is the maverick misfit, while Hunt is that popular guy who gets the money and the women, which is probably why the audience likes Lauda a bit more in that movie.
NewLollyflop I wouldn't say that my Dad liked Hunt more for that very reason. also Germany and Austria are very similar and very great friends they're almost like Germany's brother or sister. So in my mind that little detail doesn't make a difference. All I was saying is that I cannot decide which I like more just like Jeremy Jahns.
You probably grew up in England, didn't you? Because, as I see it, Germans and Austrians don't like each other very much, there really is some rivalry between this countries :D
Btw, I'm from Germany, and see your point. Actually, my dad was a big fan of Hunt and Lauda, too, although he is neither English nor Austrian, so probably in Formula 1 it's not really important where the driver you like is from when you just like his personality^^
NewLollyflop You are right I have been brought up to think that Germans and Austrians are friendly towards one another because it has been so for hundreds of years. They have stood by Germany's side in war and we have come to their aid. I have just recently been to Austria and they are a very kind people very similar to Germans just some of their greetings are different. I was born in Germany lived there for 6 years then I moved to New Zealand with my family. So some of what you say is true.
The soundtrack for this movie, pitched in together with that particular scene right before the final race starts where they both just stare down at each other, just gave me the chills. THAT, is the most powerful scene for me right there...
This movie is like the "Prestige" for race car driving movies
The only difference is in that movie they destroyed each other , but here they improved each other.
Grand Prix is better
Best racing movie ever? I would have to give that to Rush I guess. Best car culture movie ever.
as much as I enjoyed Fast and Furious movies, I honestly would like to cry and suffer more through *RUSH* again rather than drooling at fancy cars from *F&F*(Skylines, Evo's, Mazda's and Supra's) and *NFS Movie*(Bugatti's, Koenigsegg's, Lambo's, and Mustangs)
Well now with Ford Vs Ferrari I think u should consider changing ur pick
@@mohammedalgthamy9563 Just saw Ford v Ferrari and while it was a good movie, it didn't hit me in the feels as much as Rush. Rush is still the best in the genre of Racing/Sports Movies for me.
@@mohammedalgthamy9563 watched them both again this week and rush is far better
You joking? You obviously haven't seen the movie "Grand Prix"...
Rush is the best rated movie from 2013 in Czech Republic. Daniel Bruhl just received an Award for his performance as Nikki Lauda there
excellent
This movie shoulda won an Oscar
I'm the one who actually don't give a shit about the goddamn Oscar, let the movie speaks for itself...
But, to each on his own :)
Timothy Jeffry Pangamiano with oscars the movies get more credit which means more people get to see it. otherwise oscars are retarded
Oscars are shit man rush exceeds the oscars
Ron Howard is a genius...he can do no wrong. this movie made me laugh, cry, and cheer for both of these guys.
He can do no wrong? He directed The Grinch with Jim Carrey. Just thought I'd let you know
disturbedrocks1996 I like that movie, but I understand that there are mixed reviews of it. Although incidentally, yeah, it's pretty different from his usual style, to which I'll actually give him credit since it at least shows that he can have a variety of different visions and sometimes goes beyond what a generic . If I wrote a screenplay set anywhere between the 50's and the 80's, he's who I would want to direct it since he captures those time periods so amazingly well. He's in my top 3 directors, right behind Alfonso Cuaron and Spielberg, so I'll watch pretty much anything he directs in theatres (Cuaron came out of hiding to direct "Gravity" the same year, so 2013 was nice to me). Sadly, 2014 didn't see Howard, Cuaron, or Spielberg direct anything, so I guess I really only had blockbusters to look forward to. Just a thought, but I personally think that Howard does best when Horner directs his scores. I know that he has also worked with Zimmer, and he's a talented artist, but his movies are truly on a role when he's collaborating with Horner. This one had Hans Zimmer, so I guess that even though it was really good and one of my favorites of the year, it didn't top "Apollo 13" and "A Beautiful Mind", which are now classics. I can tell that he really enjoyed making this movie, but also it doesn't seem *quite* ambitious as some of his other projects.
disturbedrocks1996 i love the grinch....classic christmas movie
disturbedrocks1996 He has had a few slip ups, but when he delivers, oh boy he delivers!
Stage Lined Oh I know I was just fucking around. Along with Apocalypse Now and Pulp Fiction, Rush is probably my favorite movie ever and every director has made at least one bad movie and in my opinion the Grinch is Ron's.
The guy who played Niki Lauda should've gotten nominated for an Oscar! Not Jonah hill, who played a f***ing idiot in wolf of wall street
Nah he was fantastic
Max Walker they both played their roles equally excellently imo, Jonah's Hill character being a piece of shit moron shouldn't detract from how well he played it.
Bruh Ik he was good but Jonah hill was brilliant in wolf of wall street
I knew who won in 1976, but the movie was still awesome to watch. I can't imagine how would it be if didn't know who won
which was me, i LOVE cars, and know tidbits about formula 1, but didnt know about the hunt-lauda rivalry.
It blew my mind, best movie ever made
I knew about Lauda crash and the fact he won alot of championships. But that's it I didn't know about his rivalry and who won that year.
Hans Zimmer made this movie 100 times better
u got that right
You talk of the film as though it would be nothing without it.
One of the other films Ron Howard and Hans Zimmer worked on was Backdraft. And I enjoyed that film, so I was looking forward to this one.
lost but won alone deserved an oscar
Best movie of the year. Nothing more to say. Daniel Bruhl must get an Oscar for this performance.
Glad that you reviewed this awesome overlooked movie.
one of the greatest movies for 2013
I just watched the film. Oh my god.. Daniel Bruhl is so amazing. His performance is just phenomenal.
Yeah i know bu Chris Hemsworth's performance was amazing too!
Nikki Lauda was my favorite thing in the entire movie. He outperformed Chris Hemsworth, how did he do that? I will never know.
Actually Daniel bruhl is a very good actor! I find it amusing you haven't seen his other works!
I just finished seeing Rush and i know it's late as hell but i just had to come here and say this is one of my favourite movies of all time. I can't believe how overlooked this movie was. For me it's the best movie of the year and that's just my opinion but it definitely deserves to be top 3. To anyone that hasn't seen it i really suggest you do , holy shit.
The story was changed a lot to show a more intense rivalry between both drivers, but they were very close when not racing and really did respect each other. I loved the film and Ron Howard has done done a superb job. The crash scene with Niki Lauda is horrific and in reality there was only a 5% chance he was going to live. I honestly can't believe that guy was back in the car six weeks later when he should still have been in hospital. Most would maybe have called it a day with the job too, so I don't think I've ever respected someone so much then he won a further two world titles. The man was a machine.. I loved Hunt too and he calmed down in later life and became a great commentator on the BBC and was known for speaking his mind. If only F1 had two drivers like these guys again. They are legends!
u forgot Senna/Prost man
I rode my bike to the theater to see this, so, after the movie, the ride back was definitely a rush. It made me feel like a badass.
Just finished to watch it and must say...Niki Lauda should get Oscar for this role.
I was crying like a baby.
10/10
The same movie with Senna and Prost would be epic !
Amen
They were actually really close friends off the track and even roommates during their early careers.
Both were great racers, Hunt is remembered by some F1 fans but Lauda was the one that become a legend, i´m from Brasil and in here F1 was like a religion during the Senna years and is still a huge event, there are very few guys that don´t know who Lauda was, Hunt on the other hand is more of a aficionado knowledge.
+wololoam Guess what? "Aficionado" is not an English word and he used it/spelled it correctly. You are the internet's biggest fucking idiot.
Watched it 5 Times in the last 4 months
Tyler matthews 7 times in the last 4 years m8!:D
am I the only one who thought this movie is better than Fast & Furious movies?
It is much better then the fast and the furous movies yeah
It still is.
This movie is in another league dude!!
Timothy Jeffry Pangamiano oh its miles better
Timothy Jeffry Pangamiano no everyone KNOWS this film is better than the FF movies. Don’t even put them in the same sentence.
It may not be the most epic or best movie of all time, but the story is just top notch. Like Jeremy said you have two very different racers who try to be the top of the racing world, by doing that they hate each other at first. But later they change influence each other's mind and start respecting each other, and in the end they became good friends.
It gave me chills at the last race when they saluted each other and Lauda gave Hunt a nod, and its a result of good character development, good acting and good music!
I love movies that teach us lessons and give us real emotions, definitely deserves way more recognition!
Saw this movie last night. I felt it was a little slow initially, but once the rivalry was established, IT GOT AWESOME . . . . REAL QUICK!
Oscar noms for Bruhl and Hemsworth. Now. That is all.
Bruhl!!!
especially!
Just watched it today one of my favorite racing movies. It was epic as fuck.
I think this movie was particularly brilliant, for one of the reasons you describe - you're not into Formula 1 (as evidenced by your own admission and by gesturing in a circle when you mention watching an F1 race) but for the duration of the movie and possibly a little after you were pumped about it. You also mention how neither is really the hero or the villian, which is a well done portion of the film, but also a side effect of the fact that just about everything in the movie you know... actually happened.
Well, I dunno if Hunt actually punched the reporter.
What I honestly think made this rivalry so interesting was that neither one of them comprised their ideals to win, neither one had a "Yoda to bow down" they made their choices regardless of victory or defeat.
i'm not going to lie....after watch this movie i download F1 game and i played so much....and i never like f1 games...this is how much of great this movie is.
Lol same here
Lol
I cringed dry reached when the lung vaccum bit was on
Who's here after watching the Ford v Ferrari review?
Rush was amazing! The acting was spectacular, the story was as compelling as anything I had seen, there were no bad guys (maybe the one reporter) to use as a crutch, and it was incredibly respectful to virtually everyone except the douche at Ford. I was disappointed to learn they didn't dominate the sport for years and years after that amazing season, but I'm really glad this story got told, even if it wasn't the huge hit it deserved to be.
In the movie, Nikki got married to the most beautiful woman ever. She is several classes above every bitch Hunt screwed.
Dude, Natalie Dormer!
Meh.
In my opinion; Alexandra Maria Lara barely holds a candle in beauty to Marlene Knaus (the woman she played in the movie)
disturbedrocks1996
Check her out in Der Untergang. I have literally fallen in love with her.
tavi921 I've seen it and I agree she's a phenomenal actress, but if we are or were talking about sheer beauty then I think she has NOTHING on the real Niki Lauda's ex wife
Honestly i could feel the tension in this movie. the rivalry is very intense and you can understand each drivers motivations. Hans Zimmer on the other hand may have created the best movie score of all time for this movie. its almost like an opera. u can relate to several emotional events in the movie thru the music. great job!
Best movie score of all time? Seems like a severe statement. I personally the score Zimmer created is well-crafted, appropriate, and generally highly enjoyable as a standalone experience, but I don't think it's the best movie score of all time.
Wow, Daniel Bruhl was amazing in this. Great movie.
this movie is amazing in every way, the cinematography, the story, the ACTING, the guy who plays Niki Lauda DESERVES the Oscars not only be nominated but to win
Favourite film! Love how it's based on a true story and love how it brought that tale to life.
My boyfriend and I saw this on a date and we started to get into an argument over who was cooler. I was all NIKI LAUDA and he was like JAMES HUNT
(But then again they both kind of reflect our personalities...)
Yeah this movie was seriously awesomtacular. I have no interest in cars or racing or even wipeouts but this movie had me glued to entire time. This is coming from a girl who enjoys watching the Notebook and the like. Kudos to the director to be able to draw in a broader audience!
I saw it the other day. I gotta say, I'm not a big fan of Formula1, but this movie was straight up bad ass. Absolutely one of my favourites from last year.
I will be dead honest with u guys Bruhls portrayal of Lada was far better than Rami Maleks portrayal of Freddie Mercury. Just my opinion that's all.
Great movie! Wasn't expecting it to be this good.
As a German guy who saw Nikki Lauda all through his life on television I can say that I am very happy about that movie. Never knew the history behind him. All I knew was that he had a terrible crash that left him disfigured.
I as a huge Formula 1 fan also love this movie, cool that both fans and not-fans of the sport can love it!
Funny thing is the movie exaggerated the animosity, in truth the two of them actually shared an apartment at one point
shit really? i didn't know that
bro me too...it would have been interesting if they included that in the movie
Hans zimmer -- epic
Chris Hemsworth -- epic
The guy who played niki -- epic
This is my favourite racing movie and probably will be for a long time.
I love Rush. It ties with my other favorite racing movie, Seabiscuit. Both are very similar because both had a comeback race AND a match race (though for Niki and James, every race they had was a match race LOL). Seabiscuit's match race was famous because it was a David VS Goliath story during the Great Depression. Niki and James's grand prix rivalry was famous because Niki had already won a grand prix and the two of them were equally good drivers and fierce competitors. But the ultimate match race in Rush never happened because Niki retired from the race early due to safety concerns. So that's where the main similarities end.
I have to agree 100% with what this guy says
I know it only has a short racing scene but for me, Wreck it Ralph is the best racing movie. Biting my nails the whole way through and rooting for Vanellope to win.
haha i love this response
Respect Jeremy for the Mario Kart supernintendo game. I still have my old '64 at home & every now & then I'll play Mario Kart with my brothers.
Yeah, really enjoyed this movie too. How you bond with both characters, each in a different way is what makes this movie stand out for me.
I loved rush
Just watched the movie yesterday. I was really surprised that it was great. Niki Lauda is a badass. I thought it was Chris Hemsworth's movie, but Daniel Bruhl stole the show.
In real life, they were actually friends and respected each other hugely.
Can't believe how similar Jeremy's reviews are today. Also Jahns = Hunt Stuckman = Lauda
R.I.P Niki Lauda
All i want now is... Rush 2: Massa vs Hamilton
Senna VS Prost
S6.Scooters.Team Watch Senna. A little one sided but a very good film
Thomas Mason
As a massive F1 Fan, ofcourse i've seen that movie!! haha
I haven’t seen this movie but when Jeremy said “rush is... awesometacular” I immediately thought of the band and was like “yes they are”
Camera angles aka screen play i guess, soundtrack and character which this movie perfect in all point
Gta 5 review?
Rush
Just like you say, there's no main bad guy in the film, and for me, that made it unpredictable and exciting. Not knowing who's the good guy means you don't know who's going to win.
Also one of the few movies that had from the very beginning. I started watching it for the cars but quickly forgot about them and remained for the story.
I grew up watching M.Schumacher in benetton and later ferrari in the mid 90's and his rivarlies with Villeneuve and later Hakkinen was pretty good, but this is one of the best in history. It would be cool if they do Senna vs Prost also.
Saw this movie last night with my dad! Freaking awesome, I normally don't like racing movies but I liked how this one doesn't make you pick sides. No one is the bad guy.
I am so relieved you gave this movie an Awesometacular. Rush was beautifully made. One of my favorite movies of the year. Bravo Ron Howard, Bravo!
Agreed. Not to mention that I hate it when parties are on Sundays. I just can't enjoy myself knowing that after a good day with friends, I have to grind through another week. I like studying and all, but exams ain't no friend of mine.
From what I gather from the trailers, its a movie about two F1 rivals, one gets hurt, the other helps him get back on his feet and they go back racing? So it's basically a better told version of Days of Thunder?
The car accident and lung vacuum scenes were brutal
I just saw this movie, so freaking awesome, now this is my favorite Car race film ever (before was Days of Thunder).
Fact is Niki Lauda and James Hunt really did grab a beer together several times as they were close friends in reality. As shown in the final moments of the movie where you see the actual faces of the two.
It's interesting that you liked the rivalry so much because irl that was purely on the track, off track Lauda was a lot like Hunt, he was just better at separating work and play. That first race where they "meet" that's set at a time when they were living together!
But tbh, coming from an racing family I was surprised that i didn't mind about the artistic license, everything they did made it a better film, a better story, even the bit with the journalist (also made up btw) made it stronger.
Always gotta play some Jeremy Jahns on my Sundays.
Favorite racing movie: Talladega Nights. At first, I wasn't going to watch Rush because I simply saw it as a serious version of that movie. Now, I'll watch it.
This movie is underrated by most in my opinion! So fucking thriling, and like you said Jeremy, sexy! I have to watch it at least once a month ever since I first saw it!
I can't recommend the Documentary "Senna" enough. It's about the Brazilian F1 racer Ayrton Senna, his playboy career, his intense rivalry with Alain Prost and his death on the race track in 1994. It's amazing and you can watch the whole Doco on youtube.
If you want to learn about Formula 1 racing, I would recommend Senna. It was one of the best documentaries I have ever seen, and I think that you'd really enjoy it after watching Rush.
I think it depends. There are different kinds of expression of ego in racing. An ego is necessary in racing as a form of confidence that you can compete at the top...this is true of most all sports. Some are more flamboyant like Hunt, but Lauda was actually almost always reserved. He kept his ego in as he focused on the drive and the car setup. He was otherwise quiet, unless provoked.
It was fun going with someone who is actually into formula one racing, and it was just a great story and great movie.
Yes, I understand that. But doesn't diminish the fact that it was a great movie with thrilling action! But Grand Prix was also special because they put the actual drivers of the time (especially Graham Hill; he was in every other scene!) on the big screen! I don't think anyone had ever heard Bruce McLaren talk before that movie.
Favorite racing film?
Senna! actually is a documentary but it even made me drop tears at the end
Steve Mcqueen's "Le Mans" is my favorite. Porsche vs Ferrari’s rivalry, fused with the embodiment of the “gentleman driver” concept. Filmed in 1971/72, looks brand new in Blu-Ray.
"Grand Prix", very dramatic, but great. "Senna" was also fantastic (my favorite driver of all time, up there with Jacky Ickx).
Jackie Chan's Thunderbolt. Not sure if its categorized as a race car movie, but definitely had the aspect of it.
It was absolutely fantastic, is not like Ayrton [whom I think is great and better than Lauda] but this rivalry mixes so many things that make it so awesome, the true story of Lauda's comeback after the accident is cool by itself. I watched this movie with my dad, he wasn't convinced to go but at the end we both enjoyed it a lot. We're buying the Blu-ray as soon as it comes out (we have a great sound setup at home).
I agree, as a movie, it was fantastic. But I felt like Lauda's monologue at the end of the movie completely contradicted the rest of the movie.
This review proves that the movie miss leads how the drivers really were. Yes they had completely opposite personalities, but they were friends off the track. Lauda says that himself at the end of the movie. The image that was portrayed was that these two hated each other when in reality that wasn't true at all. It was only on track these two fought.
James Hunt was British. Hemsworth is Australian and he was doing a British accent in the film. He was fantastic in the role.
Rest in peace Nikki Lauda
I have a particular fondness for the original "Gone in 60 Seconds." At one time, I believe, it boasted the longest car chase scene ever. Blues Brothers is also awesome for the car chases :)
The movie is actually really accurate and I can only assume the bits you know are missing will be in a directors cut
Rush was actually fucking amazing. I had no intentions of seeing it either, but Don Jon was sold out and my friend and I went to Rush. We both sat their in awe without even uttering a word the entire time. I have never been a race fan, but this actually made me care about the sport.
Saw this last week! Brilliant movie. I agree with you Jeremy. The rivalry is convincing and I loved the ending where they have a mutual respect for eachother.
he is, he said that in the Dexter series final review.
Then apparently he was doing a British accent for Thor too.
Just to clarify, I don't think the movie is bad, actually the review made me think it's worth a look. My only thing is that he sounds just like Thor to me(At least in the commercials).
He may have been fantastic in the role, it's just that his face is permanently linked to "Thor" in my brain, and "Thor Drives Race Cars" sounded hilarious to me.
My respect for your reviews just went up with the Mozart / Salieri reference, great call!
I have seen Rush twice now. Back to back nights. I thought the movie was absolutely amazing. Ron Howard did an amazing job capturing the sport. Grand Prix is the only other good Formula One movie and it takes place a bit earlier in the sports history. Le Mans is a great film that really goes into the golden age of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Truth in 24 1&2 are both great documentaries about the modern age of Le Mans. Rush has secured the number 2 spot on my racing movies list behind Grand Prix.
Well how a driver took a certain corner or how he overtook another driver. I wish I could elaborate more, but it's very hard to explain the appeal of Formula 1. It's just one of those things that you can't explain
Saw this a couple of weeks ago, despite not being a fan of motor racing either. It's the best film I've seen this year and it'll probably stay that way, unless Gravity wows me. Both central performances are great, but Daniel Bruhl steals it as Niki Lauda. If you've ever watched the documentries on these two racers you'll would know how spot on his performance is. He should get some recognition for this.
