The power of vanity

Rating: Null/10 (17 September 2013)

I have never been a fun of formula 1 racing and this movie confirmed my impressions that there is no point in a sport that is inherently dangerous, has cost lives of several drivers and offers very little in terms of spectacle.
Usually, I would not share my views on a sport unless I deemed it relevant but the protagonists of this film are partakers of the risky side of this sport where due to lack of alternative channels for their testosterone are prepared to die in every single race. Everything else comes second and is random.
In all fairness, Ron Howard puts on the front seat of the lives of two legendary champions where we see their ups and downs, not to mention their gigantic vanity where their personal rivalry pushed one another to succeed even more.
An interesting character study combined with edge of your seat action and the audience will be treated to some serious adrenaline rush.
