Male Female

One movie I was very disappointed about is Formula One with Brad Pitt. It was shown in cinemas last year and there was a lot of hype around it. Many of my friends watched it so I decided to do this too. I grabbed my friend and one July morning we went to the cinema to watch it. I had a lot of expectations from this movie because I am a Formula One fan and I know a lot about this sport including the physics behind it, engineering behind it, and general rules and how it works from the sport side itself. So my probably high standards turned against me because the whole movie I criticized everything basically and my poor friends had to listen to it. It was a very beautiful picture, especially of races. But I feel like the movie itself didn't really convey the friction of the sport. And also the lead character, I don't remember his name. He was too heroic for my taste. And because of this, the whole movie seems too masculine, too predictable. That's why I didn't like it.

It was a very beautiful picture, especially of races. But I feel like the movie itself didn’t really convey the friction of the sport. And also the bread piece character, I don’t remember his name.
