Grand Prix is the greatest racing movie of all time. Having searched and paid a premium for the VHS version, you can imagine my excitement when I learned of the DVD release of the movie. I was not disappointed. The pedigree of the movie is stellar. The director is John Frankenheimer. An international cast includes Eva Marie Sainte, Toshiro Mifune, James Gardner, and Yves Montand. Francoise Hardy (“Tous les garcons et les filles” is so hot, also credibly acts in this film. Actual team names and cars (Ferrari, BRM, and All American Racing, but sadly not Lotus nor Honda) and famous drivers (Phil Hill, Graham Hill, Bruce McClaren), are in the movie and involved in the filming of the movie. Actual race footage is incorporated into the movie. Actual drivers are present in the movie. The film won three technical Academy Awards, best film editing, sound and sound effects. Before IMAX, before video games, before video cams, using sixteen Panavision cameras, some mounted on the racing cars, some in a Ford GT 40 chase car, Frankenheimer provides the exquisite shots we expect today on ESPN or SPEED…the view of the driver and pan to the front view, the vibration, the buffeting, the sweeping blur about a hairpin of actual driving. That is why this movie stands the test of time. As stated in the additional materials, it is unlikely that a racing movie of this scale will ever be made again.
But this is not a documentary. A great movie, even if it isn’t true, is realistic enough that you believe that is reality. The story lines touch on real issues… is winning everything, why do men like to go fast, are their significant others uneasy, why is death or danger ignored, can relationships be serious or merely transitory… It also provides a vicarious look into Grand Prix racing in the 1960’s, the fashion, the life, the glamour. Grand Prix DVD also provides special features that demand purchasing the DVD even if you have the VHS version (sans special features of course). Five documentaries are provided…This movie was viewed on a 27 inch flat screen TV, sound through a subwoofer and two satellite speakers (two five inch mid-range, one two inch tweeter per speaker) and the sound was great (it did win an Academy award for sound)… I can hardly wait to see it on my friend’s 52 inch wide-screen with Dolby Digital 5.1. Wow…what a movie.
大奖赛是最大的赛车电影的所有时间。经搜查，并交纳地价为的VHS版本，你可以想象我的兴奋，当我获悉的DVD版本的电影。我并不失望。该谱系的电影是恒星。署长约翰弗兰肯海默。一个国际铸造，包括伊娃玛丽圣， toshiro御船，詹姆斯加德纳，和伊夫•蒙。 francoise的Hardy （ “ Tous的就业辅导组garcons等就业辅导组filles ” ）是如此炎热，也可信的行为在这部电影。实际团队的名称和车（法拉利， brm ，和所有美国的赛车，但可惜没有荷花，也没有本田）和著名的司机（菲尔山，格雷厄姆山，布鲁斯mcclaren ） ，是在电影，并涉及在拍摄这部电影。实际比赛的画面是纳入电影。实际的司机目前在这部影片中。影片荣获了三个技术奥斯卡奖，最佳剪接，音效和声音效果。之前的IMAX之前，视频游戏，视频摄影机前，使用16潘相机，有些装在赛车时，有些在一个福特GT 40大通汽车，弗兰肯海默提供了精美的镜头，我们预期今天在ESPN或速度…的看法，该名司机和潘向前方看，振动，冲击，笼统，模糊约1夏萍的实际驾驶。这就是为什么这部影片的立场了时间的考验。正如在额外的材料，是不大可能的一个赛车的电影，本表时，将以往任何时候都被再次提出。
但是，这并不是一部纪录片。一个伟大的电影，即使是不正确的，是现实的不够，你相信这是现实。故事线接触实际问题… …是赢得一切，为什么男人喜欢到快，是他们的重要他人的不安，为什么是死刑或危险被忽视，可关系受到严重，抑或只是短暂的… …它也提供了一个替代研究大奖赛赛车在1960年的，时装，生活，魅力。大奖赛的DVD还提供了特殊功能的需求，购买的DVD ，即使你有没有版本的VHS （ SAN的特殊功能，当然） 。五纪录片提供…这部影片被认为是对一个27英寸平面电视，声音通过一个低音炮和两个卫星喇叭（ 2 5英寸的中程， 1 2英寸的音单元每一位发言者）和声音的伟大（它没有赢得一奥斯卡金像奖声音） … …我很难拭目以待，看看这对我朋友的52英寸宽屏幕与杜比数字5.1 。哇… …什么电影。
