What he didn't know was that he was facing his own destiny.
The documentary "Car God Senna" begins with the narration of two reporters who have reported F1 events for many years. They talk about the special features of this sport in a calm tone. A former Guardian racing commentator said the car was a beautiful thing in itself, a combination of icy mechanics and vivid silhouettes. So contradictory and so harmonious, it is like the short, honorable and dramatic life of the Brazilian car god Senna. Then, the movie starts with Senna participating in a kart race when he was a boy. He is always surrounded by the support and care of his parents. At this time, the camera is slow and warm. The father couldn't hide his pride, but the mother was a little worried about her son's choice, while Senna stood shyly and didn't say a word.
In 1983, Senna made his debut in the F1 arena. He joined the small team Doulman, which was at the bottom of the stream. However, he became famous in Monaco in the heavy rain, starting from 13th and finishing second. The following year he joined the Lotus-Renault team and won his first Grand Prix in Portugal. But Lotus was still a small temple for the talented Senna, who moved to McLaren, where he met his lifelong rival, the Frenchman Alain Prost. Their dramatic duel continued until the end of Senna's life. McLaren Yishan accepted Senna and Prost two tigers, and the two broke openly because team manager Ron Dennis could not treat the two drivers equally. In this stage of the narration, the interview of the protagonist of the event and the replay of the game screen are intertwined, the camera is sharp and the music is tense. They criticize each other and distrust each other. On the track, their championship battles have always ended in a variety of dramatic conflicts for several years in a row. At the penultimate race of the 1989 season, the Japanese Grand Prix, Senna made contact while trying to pass Prost, and the two cars rushed into the buffer zone together. Prost had to retire, but Senna returned to the track with the help of the staff and overtook wildly all the way to win the championship. The Brazilian successfully defended the title? No, Ballester, then president of the FIA, believed that Senna had violated the competition rules, canceled his results and revoked his super license for half a year, and the most important thing was that Senna handed the annual championship to his dead rival Prose. special. Senna believed that the FIA president, who was also a Frenchman, deliberately favored his teammates, and Senna fell into a low point in his life for a while. He returned to the game the following year, still wrestling with Prost. The conflict between the two was so acute that everyone thought their relationship might have been overwhelmed. But in the 1994 season, when Prost, who had retired, came to the Imola circuit in San Marino, he found that Senna actually played a "missing you, Prost" sign. Why is this time, here, he has been puzzled. He may not know an old Chinese saying: People who are about to die are also good at their words. But Senna is equally unaware of his own destiny. Why there will never be an answer.
Sports competition is like life mixed with all kinds of dramas and regrets, but the competition is more intense.
Senna's life ended on May 4, 1994, and the film aimed at his grand state funeral and the remembrance of him by various figures. Former enemy Prost, Ron Dennis, who was fond of Senna, and the owner of the Williams team, Sir Williams in a wheelchair, and others were all present to give this legendary genius his last ride. At this point, the depression and sadness of the entire film reached its peak. At the beginning of the film, a former ESPN reporter who specializes in tracking and reporting on Senna said that you can't imagine what it would be like for Senna to leave the car and die on the track. At the peak of his life, the eternal death may be his best destination. It is true that he has paid too much in order to constantly surpass the limit, and perhaps he himself hopes that people will always remember him as the car god who is religious, enthusiastic, intelligent, eloquent, handsome, and has a brilliant record. The accident that shocked the world and his embarrassing death can only be summed up in the sublime in aesthetics, in which there are too many mysterious conjectures and fatalism, but it is undeniable that Senna's consistent pursuit and Undying fighting spirit. The tragic power of death seems to be the inevitable end of this drama.
Sports has a charm that makes people fascinated by it, because in addition to the necessary material conditions and institutional rules for the development of competitions, it is more a spiritual product that inspires and reflects on life. Take this sports documentary as an example. Without it, many unknown details and precious influence materials would not be presented to the world. It introduces the life of a legend in the form of a documentary, but this is only the dissemination of sports information. process, and what we are left with after watching the film is spiritual and aesthetic thinking. The means and content are the interactive relationship between the sports information and the sports core, and the combination of the two constitutes the sports spirit product. Using it to observe our lives and dreams will get unparalleled enlightenment, because the connotation and extension of sports are so rich that we need to take them seriously.
