The story begins with the central characters at odds with each other. No community soul. There are parallels throughout the entire film between racing competition and romantic competition. It is a simple plot, somewhat predictable. A near fatal race car crash cuts through the superficial pettiness that separates the main characters and pulls them into together in true discovery of the things that matter.
Community is achieved.
I attend at least 4 different churches per week. And my assessment is that the Baby Boomer Generation is holding the church hostage. No techno, rap, or alternative. I look around and I see few Gen. Xers in any church. I do see, however, lots of casually dressed Baby Boomers forcing their preferences on everyone else.
