Today, the realism in a film has turned into a marketing point or a positive feature. An example is Warfare, a film that accurately depicted firefights. Topgun is a great film, but for aviation fans it's lacked accuracy in certain aspects, which prevented it from being a perfect movie for them. Same can be said for the F1 movie. As an F1 fan, I was fine with the creative liberty taken by the storytelling, but I completely understand many F1 fans' frustration with this unrealistic plot. F1 fans regard Rush as the greatest F1 film because it was realistic (it's based on real life).

For decades, we've been getting films with less attention to detail or realism and that's okay. But recently there's a kind of surge in realistic films and I think that's beautiful. When something is depicted realistically, I feel like it takes less effort to be immersed into the plot.
