#AUGUST RUSH PUTLOCKERS DRIVERS#
James Hunt, a brash and self-confident individual, and Niki Lauda, a cool and calculating technical genius who relies on practice and precision, are exceptional racing car drivers who first develop a fierce rivalry in 1970 at a Formula Three race in London, when both their cars spin before Hunt wins the race. The film received positive reviews from critics for Hemsworth and Brühl's performances, Howard's direction, the racing sequences, and Hans Zimmer's musical score. The film premiered in London on 2 September 2013 and was shown at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival before its United Kingdom release on 13 September 2013.
It was written by Peter Morgan, directed by Ron Howard and starred Chris Hemsworth as Hunt and Daniel Brühl as Lauda. Not a particularly charming character but a memorable one, played with great skill.Rush is a 2013 biographical sports film centred on the rivalry between two Formula One drivers, the Briton James Hunt and the Austrian Niki Lauda, during the 1976 motor-racing season. A word of admiration for the late, great Robin Williams who plays a very complicated role here: a man who is basically a good guy but prone to inexcusable bouts of selfishness and violence. Well now you've been warned, so go into it expecting a dreamlike fairytale and just let yourself be swept away by the magic.
#AUGUST RUSH PUTLOCKERS MOVIE#
But instead I was halfway expecting realism, making much of the movie hard to swallow. I probably would've fallen into it more readily if someone had told me to expect a fantasy. I've never heard of any story that makes such a powerful & moving metaphor for the power of music, and like I said up front, this powerful metaphor was enough for me to lose myself in the fantasy of it all. But this story revolves around the intangible power of music to draw people together. Very loosely based on Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist", it's the story of an orphan in search of his parents. If you can get past all of that, then "August Rush" is really a wonderful and original story that will charm your pants off. And if you can accept that he has the power to change into a tuxedo faster than Clark Kent can put on his blue tights, then you're gold. If you can accept the notion that he leafs through a 1st grade music book for 10 seconds and immediately knows advanced musical theory (the equivalent of leafing through a basic arithmetic book and suddenly knowing calculus), then you're halfway there. If you can accept that he can see a guitar for the first time and immediately rock out like Stanley Jordan, then you're OK. That's fine, but this kid is downright supernatural. The story is predicated on the idea that a young boy is a musical prodigy. I won't go into too much detail what these errors/allowances are (other IMDb members have already compiled quite a list in the goofs section), but if you are a musician, particularly a classically trained one, you'll need some serious suspension of disbelief. That is, just as we accept that a big bad wolf can talk and a family of bears can cook porridge, we must make some large allowances for this film if we are to accept it. First, this must be treated as a fairytale. But in the end I have to say the magic triumphs, and if you watch this movie you'll probably enjoy it IF you are aware of a few things up front. It also has some of the biggest plot holes I've seen in years. "August Rush" is the most magical story I've seen in years.
