GazerRise Fantastic!
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
stefan_bt-02362 I created an account on imdb just so i can write this. Seriously, if you're a car enthusiast/petrolhead, this will make you cry and stand back in awe. The movie itself is great but the soundtrack is really incredible too. A must watch for any car guy. If you're not into cars this movie will get you into cars and racing i guarantee.
grantss Superb documentary on the racing career of Formula 1 legend, Ayrton Senna. Contains rare footage, racing, behind-the-scenes and personal life, all woven together to give us a great portrayal of the man. There is no narration - the entire story is told through archive footage, yet it fits together and works perfectly. The editing makes the movie.The build-up to the inevitable conclusion (if you know Senna's history) is very effective, chilling and moving.Only negatives is that it possibly isn't entirely objective, or balanced. Alain Prost is cast as a villain. Also, the Prost-Senna rivalry receives too much focus, at the expense of other rivalries (eg Mansell-Senna in 1992).
Robert Wayne Angier Sometimes is difficult to understand the Legend without a trip in his personal life, this documentary is a touching voyage of a man who fought for his legacy, F1 politics, the pride of a country in need of happiness... and the casuality of how some incidents can change a man. If you loved Rocky as a motivating movie, you can't miss this treasure, you'll see how a man with a huge love for God, never forgot his people. The fight with Prost, Jean-Marie Balestre's punishment, the leadership years and the continuous voice against some awful politics.This documentary for F1's fans, this film will appeal mandatory... for movie or non F1 fans, a really good detailed biopic and exclusive footage of his personal and professional life.You need to watch this documentary and be prepared to approach the goal of his last years, the happiness for his victories and the joy of Brazil and the 'Special" moment when his sight show us the doubt, fear and some kind of divine augury before his death. The music has been perfectly chosen, the official footage, audio, conversations and the transformation of the epic battle between he and Prost, to Alain Prost's pain and deep sadness of Senna's funeral.Is amazing how destiny can show us another heir, Schumacher appears in the huge pain of Senna's death as a sign... Destiny.
The Seperator _ A very one-sided, biased take on a genius of a driver. It plays up the drama between the drivers at bit much at times when it could have focused more on Senna's struggles with the Williams mechanical team. Although it was interesting to see here where Senna came from, and his struggles through the ranks, the film was not able to capture him on an intimate level. He always remains as a distance, untouchable celebrity. Still, not bad for a film made out of decades old footage. The film did tend to drag on however, and certain parts, especially some of the stuff that had nothing to do with racing, could have easily been cut out (I skipped through some parts myself). I was left wondering how such a stunning driver could be defeated by such a seemingly trivial problem. As troubling as it is that the exact cause of the crash is not known, it is a reminder that he was human, but there is some comfort in know that he died doing not only what he love, but what he had to do.
