This is really tjis movie main theme. Two school children, Na Young, a girl and Hae Sung, a boy, in South Korea, start to be good friends, However thair personal friedship is interrupted for Na's parents moved to Canada and later to New York and took her daughter with them. Na and Hae kept contacting each other through video the best thing they can do thiugh much different that personal. Twelve years later since Haw is still missing her he goes to New York to meet her again. However being adults then their personal lives were of course changedthough they still miss each other and she is even already married with the American Arthur. They met there and even later also with Arthur. The dialogues in this movie are psychologically very deep and show the strange relation ship of the main charaters A good movie indeed.
And tragic ones too sometimes. And dramatic. The main character here is Sonny Hayes a Formula 1 racer (acted by Brad Pitte who does an excellent job). The movie develops itself in a lot of almost permanent Formula 1 races where Hayes runs often but not without conflicts with other partakers and sharers not excluding a sentimental relationship with the technical director Kate. The most seducing aspect of this movie are the most appaling racing scenes including even a few accidents. The races shown were 24 Hours of Daytona, Spanish Grand Prix, British Grand Prix, Hungarian grand Prix, Italian Grand Prix, Belgian Grand Prix and Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
I was there in Munich at the attack to watch the 1972 Olympic Games so I followed everything about it and suffered even some damage because some events to which I have tickets were postponed and i couldn't stay later and had to sell those tickets and go off. This was the attack of a Palestinian terrorist group to Israeli athletes, kidnapping them and started a hostage crisis with some dramatic events including the murder of the athletes during the police action against the terrorists. The movie tells the story of the ABC sports crew that was there to cover the Games and changed to cover the hostage crisis with some rivalry with other news agencies. This was very interesting to follow.
