a must see

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2006)

I watched the movie last night and from the very beginning it is very romantic, funny, touchy, exciting ... Although Americans shown in the movie are too unrealistic - i.e. exaggerated hospitality (maybe thats the effect of flower power in the sixties) i find it pleasingly warm. Characters are well designed, especially the car salesman is superb. you should watch this movie with a loved one (your girl friend, wife, child..). the story and characters are so brilliantly spread in time scale, you feel yourself the man in the movie. be prepared to cry and ready your napkins. sometimes you find yourself saying "now its over" but he goes on. after watching the movie i surfed internet to find historical information about the man and the machine. yes the cast is fictitious but man and the machine is 100% true. some journalist report that he cast his pistons in the sand at the beach. :) a must see.
