charming film

Rating: 10/10 (9 May 2006)

I went to see this film twice. What I really liked about it was its sheer optimism, especially that of Burt Munroe played by Anthony Hopkins. Set in New Zealand it is about an fairly old man who has a dream to see how fast his, mainly home made, Indian bike would go. Along with being optimistic I think it shows the good side in a lot of people and their willingness to help people with enthusiasm and charm. This is lacking in a lot of films which tend to rely heavily on cynicism and the worst traits in people. This film to me a definite 'feel good' movie which made me smile throughout. For charm and unpretentiousness I gave this film 10 out of 10. Fantastic
