Red Line 7000 (1965)
6/10
Cars race a world apart of real life, boring contenders, easy gorgeous girls and an arid, shallow and poisoned environment for human connections!!!

During his life Howard Hawks always used to attend automobile race, he already had its passion over it at tender age, also his son became a professional race driver sponsored by Hawkes, gathering all this stay clear what drove Howard Hawkes commonly knew as western director turns around to shot an unusual picture of racing car in middle of sixties, that was a reason, also Tarantino ensures it was somehow this flick is overlooked, then so sorry for both Howard Hawks and Tarantino, due the picture really never gets fire properly speaking (aside on the tracks in some stock footages sequences).

Putting this short briefing above, then "Red Line 7000" summarized is a heap of many stuff that often surround a cars race, outpouring of egos, when someone to assets himself he needs overcome his foe on tracks, an everlasting chase for glory, even that it put his life in danger mostly of time, actually this world living apart of the real life, they survive in a glass dome flanked of gorgeous girls only, drinking a lot, make sex with easy girls and so on, Howard Hawkes put a fake circle of sorrows, disagreements such romantic as interpersonal as well, always concerning troubles coming from race cars.

A movie absence of interest, apart for those who somewhat living in this fancy circle, where the money speak louder and all environment of contest speak by itself, arid and shallow human connections, also Hawks tries hard lay some feelings on the odd plot, nevertheless flopped in an overwhelming way.

Thanks for reading.
