"description": "I put off watching F1 until now because I don't like the whole vroom vroom race cars go fast thing — but — I wasn't really right to do so. Yes, it's about racing. It's focused in on it, it's the core of the film. But, like most great sport films (yes, I'll concede it's a sport), it's not about the racing. It is, but it's really about the people and the sport, the passion around it, the goal, the tension — all of that — is what actually makes it compelling. Am I going to go watch formula one now? No, but I get the stakes and a talented cast headlined by Brad Pitt, Damson Idris and Javier Bardem can't help but make this a compelling watch. I don't care about football, but Any Given Sunday and Friday Night Lights are both excellent. It's the fundamentally human nature of sports that makes it interesting. It's knowing limits, pushing them, pushing past them and achieving something you didn't think you could or the audience didn't think you could. It's why I watch nearly every single Lakers game — even when they suck . They're my team and I'm they're when they're terrible and can appreciate them when they're not. Even when they're terrible there's those moments where they'll steal a win and show you what they can do at their best. So, sports.",
