Le Mans (1971) Steve McQueen: Racing is Life.

Un passage culte, supra-connu du film Le Mans de 1971. En version originale. Une phrase qui ne sera jamais obsolète:

A- But, what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?

B- A lot of people go through life doing things badly. Racing is important to men who do it well. When you're racing...it's life. Anything that happened before or after, it's just waiting.

The girl delivered her line equally well... the breaks and pauses from both actors build the scene quite good.

[dollhausenx]

That moment when she realizes that what's between them is "just waiting"...ouch.

Fun fact: in real life Helmut Marko won Le Mans that year - 1971. With Gijs van Lennep

Many people people have said many things about motorsport..before and after...but only McQueen sums it all up..maybe it even applies to any passion (obssession)

I thought Grand Prix was good and still do but this movie was the pinnacle of motor racing.

Contrary to popular (Hollywood) beliefs, Steve McQueen's renowned quote about racing cars, was paraphrased by the great German GP ace...

_"To race is to live. All the rest is simply waiting."_
