Movie review!!

GRAN TURISMO MOVIE REVIEW

It is a movie that was released less than two weeks ago.

SPOILER ALERT!!

 DO NOT READ IF YOU PLAN TO WATCH IT

My boyfriend, his sister and I went to watch this movie last week. It's pretty much about car racing so to be honest I didn't think I would like it however I can say that it exceeded my expectations. 

The name of the movie comes from a video game that the main character, Jann Mardenborough, played a lot. The game is a very realistic simulation of car racing and all that it entails. One day, Jann wins a videogame competition organized by an automotive company which gives him the opportunity to get into an academy to train as a racer and compete in the big leagues with world-renowned racers. 

At the very beginning he did not have the support from his family, his father was even upset with him and his decision to participate.  

He trains really hard in the academy and race against other gamers until he becomes the winner. Jann begins to win not only recognition from people and colleagues but also teasing saying he would never be a real racer but a gamer; however, those actions did not stop him. 

One of the most difficult and dangerous race tracks was in Germany, where he competes and unfortunately has a terrible accident that leaves one person dead. After recovering and realizing what had happened, Jann was devastated and almost left the competition, but thanks to the words of his coach, he returned to the track. 

The last race he has to perform is the longest, lasting 24 hours. Jann and two other colleagues from the academy accept the challenge. This was the last chance to show their skills; after suffering fatigue among other inconveniences during the hours of the race they managed to position themselves on the podium winning 3rd place! 

That's how they proved they were true racers!

The most interesting part of this whole story is that it's based on real facts. It's really crazy how all of this happened at some point.

10/10 recommended!!!
