Rush is an impressive movie about Rivalry, and how it drives people to push themselves to the extreme.
With the superb acting of both Daniel Bruhl and Chris Hemsworth, along with a killer soundtrack by Hans Zimmer. This sports film is perfect for anyone who's in for some thrill.
When examining the two main characters; Niki Lauda (Bruhl) and James Hunt (Hemsworth). It is clear how each one is different from the other: Lauda is determined, wise and straight to the point. Hunt is more of a playboy, he's a skilled driver but not a serious man.
These characteristics are what help set the relationship between both rivals, and generically the plot of the movie.
I guess the best way to examine this rivalry is from the sentence Lauda says to Hunt at the end of the movie: "A wise man can learn more from his enemies than a fool from his friends." It is the way both characters have been competing against each other Aside of the rivalry, another element that comes into play is the P. O. V of the characters on the sport they take part in: Lauda is driven by the victory and works by statistics, he's wise enough to not risk his life and even says that willing to risk your life for a competition is losing.
On the other hand, there is Hunt who is driven by the thrill of the sports, living each day as if it is his last. Cheating death and facing it during the race. Hunt even says at the end of the film "what is the point of all this if you don't have fun."
So, in conclusion, the movie is not meant to prove which P. O. V of the character is the correct one to live by. It is simply meant to discuss how both rivals viewed themselves and the sports they took part in. Either way of living is acceptable, the one of Lauda and the one of Hunt.
