annuntio vobis gaudium magnum: habemus Academy Award 2014

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2013)

Daniel Brühl, who else? He not only plays Lauda, he is Lauda. I watched the cultural Monday-Night Program on ORF2 (the ORF is the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation), when Niki Lauda, Daniel Brühl and Peter Morgan had been interviewed. Niki Nationale has given Brühl his sanctus.
On the same day, when Lauda crashed and burned in the Green Hell, in Vienna collapsed a famous bridge into the Danube. I was a five year old boy living in the suburbia of Vienna and honestly the bridge affected me more. The Death-Toll was one in Vienna, almost one in Germany. When Lauda realized that a priest was at his bed in the hospital, he mobilized all his mental power and came back from the valley of death. (AND the doctor said, Lauda survived because he was NON SMOKING - a fact, that young people should think about!)
James Hunt meant nothing to me, until the movie-project came into the headlines. I think Chris Hemsworth fits perfect in the role.
RUSH is one of the best movies about racing and one of the best movies of the Year 2013.
Thank you Peter Morgan. Thank you Ron Howard.
