When it comes to car-related movies, I'm afraid that a long list will emerge in everyone's mind. However, the videos I want to introduce to you today are a bit different. Although they are not as popular as Fast and Passion and Transformers, if you are a die-hard car fan, you will definitely fall in love with them~
Speedy Wind (Rush)
▌ Film source recommendations: iQiyi , PP video
Hunter and Lauda . When this story of the most legendary rival in the history of F1 is moved to the big screen, this Speedy Wind (Rush) must be the most unmissable interpretation. The success of the movie is not a restoration of the many wonderful encounters between the two on the field, a perfect grasp of the character and relationship, Hunter's romantic and free and easy style, and the mean and self-discipline of the opposing Lauda allow even those who do not understand racing and do not understand this history to draw their own nourishment from the film and integrate them into the character story wholeheartedly.
Interestingly, this movie was released overseas in 2013, but it only came to China two years later. The reason is ridiculous. In addition to Hunter's many large-scale passionate scenes, overseas releases just happened to catch up with the unprecedentedly strict smoking ban on the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. This was a disaster for the F1 racing car that was wearing cigarette advertisements in the 1970s. After frame-by-frame modification, the cars we see in "Extremely Speedy" have all become almost "naked"...

is also based on a movie in the 1970s, but unlike Rush, the release date of this movie was in 1971. Although it failed from the box office perspective, its status is incomparable to real racing fans. is not only the most realistic racing movie in history (most of the shots in the film are directly based on the 24-hour Le Mans endurance race at that time), but its historical period is also very classic . The 1970s were the time when Porsche legend racing 917K overthrew the rule of the Ford GT40 and opened up a new legendary era. The video also handed over the racing part to the showdown between the high-profile Porsche and Ferrari team.
And as for the male lead in this article - Steve McQueen , he himself is also an avid racing fan. In 1961, he drove the classic Mini to participate in the Brands Hatch station of the British Touring Car Championship and achieved a good result of third place! In the 1970 Sebring 12 Hours Endurance Race, he even won the first place in the 3L group with Peter Revson, almost the championship (just 23 seconds behind the Ferrari 512S in the 5L group). Michael Delaney, played by Steve McQueen, also left a famous saying: "A lot of people go through life doing things badly. Racing’s important to men who do it well. When you’re racing, it... it’s life. Anything that happens before or after... is just " (To put it bluntly, the world is not as big as racing...)
Eternal God of Cars (Senna)
▌ Film source recommendation: Tudou.com, B station
is just the name Senna, which is enough for racing fans to admire this documentary. However, while explains Senna's entire career, this movie also explains many other things that are easily overlooked but are closely related to Senna's racing career. The most mentioned is "stadium politics". In that era, as the world's top automobile event, F1 racing had an inseparable relationship with the words "money" and the words "politics" (in fact, this kind of copper smell has always been around) . These relationships were reflected when Senna first made its mark in this event: when a freshman drove a Toleman racing car with poor performance and chased the then world champion Proster in a mess, it was almost natural that some forces outside the field appeared to influence the competition results, but such situations also contrasted Senna's integrity and never-saying spirit.
Finally, the video processing is also very profound and ingenious. At the end of the film, a reporter asked Senna which game he liked the most. Without hesitation, he mentioned the kart race he participated in when he first arrived at the European arena with his first visit to the European arena. He also said that he was very happy to drive at that time, without the complicated political economy involved. Everyone in just drove simply, comparing who drove faster. That was a wonderful memory.
Initial D (Initial D) Stage3
▌Picture source recommendation: B station (various surprises on barrage)
Perhaps the appearance of the two words Senna makes this article a little heavy, so why not change the direction and see some works that are not so serious but wonderful enough, such as this familiar name - Initial D. But I don’t plan to talk about Jay Chou’s movie. Although it is also classic, what’s more classic is derived from the animation itself.
Among the many theatrical animations launched by the initial text D, the Stage3 Christmas Special Edition released in 2001 is my favorite one. There are two main reasons for . First of all, this theatrical animation has a very important position in the main plot of the initial D. The resurrection of 86, the showdown with Kyoichi and Kokagawa, the separation of Takumi after graduation with Natsuki, and the subsequent addition of Project D are all important parts of the entire work that connects the past and the future. In addition, the production level of this film is completely different from the entire work. Whether it is the delicate style, the 3D rendering during Battle, and the explosive electronic music, even the three remakes released in 2014-2016 in a row cannot be compared (in fact, those three films are the worst in retrospect).
Taxi Express (Taxi)
▌Movie Source Recommendation: Youku.com
This French comedy movie has been released in total. The protagonists of the first three are Peugeot 406, and the fourth part is replaced with 407. I won’t talk about those whimsical modifications in . The reason why it can be on the list is the key to the word humor.
Although it is not a well-known work, this humorous comedy from the French can be regarded as a clear stream in a car movie. French humor is not like American comedy, using some exaggerated body language or lines with sexual hints to make the audience laugh. Instead, it is a simple tasting, conveying this kind of joy through some natural but exquisite dialogue and ridicule, and the actor's own personal charm and image.
Mad Max: Fury Road (Mad Max: Fury Road)
▌Movie source recommendation: Tencent Video
This movie can be said to be popular half of the sky in 2015, and even won the Best Picture nomination at the 88th Audicar Awards. Although it is not an orthodox automobile theme, and although it belongs to a less popular movie category - wasteland science fiction, there are enough reasons for the various whimsical modified cars filled with violent aesthetics and the dazzling car chase scenes in the films to make it on my recommendation list. Moreover, this series of movies has a history of almost 40 years.
The large number of punk armored cars (more than 150 models) in the film, from the moment Max swallowed the mutated two-headed lizard, began an unscrupulous visual invasion. In conjunction with the apocalyptic scene of Namibia's Skeleton Coast , it quickly pulled the viewer into a fictional doomsday world. What is bad about is that more than 80% of the special effects of such a grand and shocking scene are not computer special effects, but are made by actual shooting, makeup, special stunts and props. The use of computer CGI is mainly based on the natural scenery of Namibia. On the contrary, the lines in this movie can be said to be pitifully few, especially the male protagonist. The number of times he opens his mouth during the whole play can be counted with his fingers, but the relative infectiousness of each opening is also great. Such a wild, unrestrained and profound action movie, the word "good" is well deserved.
