World's Fastest Indian

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2006)

Lovers of motorcycles and those who haven't ridden yet will thoroughly enjoy this excellent story. Cast with actors whose love for the project shines through every scene, embracing their roles.
Truly, Burt Munro is a lovable character, a human who just seems to love life and who approaches each day with belief in the goodness of people and the greatness of accomplishment, small to large.
This is a movie to watch with your family and friends. It is filled with exhibits of true friendship and honour. It shows meaningful examples of how 'little things' and small achievements have great affect. There are many reminders of the fact that though we live on a planet, sharing space with so much hate, there are, indeed, many wonderful humans out there.
And the best example of friendship shown is the one we see coming from a child, Burt's neighbor in New Zealand, who comes over through a break in the fence. We can learn a lot about love and decency from the pure hearts of children. This is something that Burt always knew.
My husband and I enjoyed a DVD version which included a documentary starring the real Burt, and discovered how faithful the adaptation of his character was portrayed in this superb movie.
Definitely a worthwhile addition to your collection.
