Impressions of "Forever Car God"

There has always been this documentary on the hard drive. I recently saw it recommended by TG.
From Senna's karting era to his death in a car accident, he narrates heartily, a hero who belongs to the Brazilian and a people who follow God.
I want to talk about his beliefs first. Sometimes people always feel that belief is nothing to talk about. I also think that if you believe it, you believe it. If you don't believe it, no one can force you. But there is no doubt that Senna's success is closely related to faith, and that's why we can't help but talk about this issue. Like Eric and Jeremy Lin in "Chariot of Fire", they are a group of people who fight for the glory of God. Senna is undoubtedly talented, but success is not 99 points of effort plus 1 point of talent, this is actually a multiplication. Your genius is only a permit, and Senna's hard work and focus, desire for victory, and neurotic perfectionism are the guarantee of victory. Belief here is Senna itself, as the "Chariot of Fire" said, "running is only an extension of his vitality, and we insist on separating them." The same is true for Senna, he does everything to follow his heart. Although I am not a Christian, I tend to regard the desire in human nature as a kind of nature. But I envy Christians who have inner belonging. It is a great act for them to dare to declare war on their hearts.
Regarding the dispute with Senna and Prost, it is very interesting in the film that "most romanticists support Senna, utilitarians support Prost", and now 20 years later, only romantics will still remember that era. Racing driver. After watching the movie, Prost’s image is "selfish, unscrupulous in order to win, good at relations with leaders, best at complaining", but this is not because the media wants us to know him like this. Isn’t this kind of struggle not the F1 Organizing Committee? What do you want to see? The media will play tricks on people, and while they provide us with information, they also limit our information. If we really love Senna and F1, we won't be obsessed with these. We will respect Senna's expectation of "pure race", because everyone on the circuit is for themselves.
A country needs heroes, and being a good one is sometimes a hero. However, the significance of heroes to the country is better than gold medals. Heroes belong to the spiritual world, and heroes are not reserved.

    The director did not deliberately whitewash Taiping, but instead presented real and unpleasant events such as the fierce confrontation between Senna and Pros, the FIA's interference in the fairness of F1, and even Senna's suspicion of Schumacher's team cheating. Come out, the story is very strong. Fans who have known F1 since the Schumacher days finally have a window into why Ayrton Senna is forever. @2011-09-18 01:57:14

Senna quotes

  • Sid Watkins: [after the death of Roland Ratzenberger] Ayrton got very, very upset and cried a bit, and that's when I said to him, you know Ayrton you've been three times world champion, you're the fastest man in the world, and you like fishing. So I said why don't you quit, and I'll quit, and we'll just go fishing. And he said Sid, I can't quit.

  • Viviane Senna: On that morning when he woke up, he asked God to talk to him. He opened the Bible and read a passage which said: God would give him the greatest of all gifts. Which was God himself.
