Rush is a movie. It’s a really, really good movie.
Rush tells the story of two Formula I/III racers who make it to the top of their sport, creating a rivalry along the way. But the rivalry runs deeper than skill. These are two men who rival on how to live. The movie tells both stories very well, pointing up the virtues and vices of each. The sport adds excitement; it doesn’t get in the way. And the two leads are perfect for the roles they play.
At the end, the winner isn’t really the winner. And there’s a loser, but it’s not what you think. At stake isn’t just a grand prix. It’s a life’s philosophy on loyalty, risk, and permanence.
Life is to be lived aggressively. And when you stop living with urgency, you’ve already died.
