Great film

Rating: Null/10 (13 May 2017)

As someone who resides in New Zealand I was proud and very pleased to see this true story make it to the big screen. This film is a remarkable tale of humanity and courage of a simple man who travelled so far to achieve his dream using a sled he worked on for many years. Anthony Hopkins does a stunning job and gives one of his finest performances as the record breaker who dared to dream. His journey is beautiful and the humanity of those he met is quite admirable. This was a true feel good movie as it had a very pleasant and happy ending for the late Burt Munro who broke many records. It had a beautiful message that you should always cultivate your goals and never lose heart no matter how old you are. The location and scenes of the Bonneville Salt Flats were a treat to watch. Hopkins great portrayal should have at least got him an Oscar nod. After watching this film and understanding the message hopefully he is not just a New Zealand Hero but a hero to many.
