Don't go gentle into that good night

Do not go gentle into that good night,

Old age should burn and roar at sunset;

Angrily, angrily at the disappearance of this light. — Dylan Thomas

Starring Anthony Hopkins. Based on the story of New Zealand motorcycle racer Burt Monroe in his old age, at the age of 68, he transformed a 1920 Indian Scout motorcycle (a century-old American motorcycle brand) and came to Utah, USA, to participate in the Extreme Moto Challenge in the Salt Belt of Navia.

Burt Monroe:

New Zealand motorcyclist, in 1967, he set a world record of 295.453 km/h in the Banavia salt belt, this record has never been broken, and is the creator of motorcycle land speed.

Banavia Salt Belt:

Near Salt Lake City, the capital of the Utah state of the United States, you can imagine from the name that it is similar to the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. As far as the eye can see, it is as flat as a mirror. There are no traffic lights, no curves, no police, and every year there are only speed limit pursuers. Various vehicle tests and competitions are held here. There are no other rules, only one, speed!

"The World's Fastest Indian Motorcycle", the movie is straightforward, no conflict, no suspense, but watching it quietly makes you feel deeply. When the subtitles rise, you are still immersed in it. Te Mengruo was infected by his optimistic, open-minded, self-confident and persistent attitude towards life.

The movie did not deliberately show that Bert Mengruo won the first place, but just took it lightly. This is not the real theme of the movie. When the Indian Scout sprinted to the end, the smile on Hopkins's face was relieved. This was not simple satisfaction, but more like sublimation.

One day we will all grow old, are we willing to be old, willing to wait for death, willing to be the youngest with our hearts?

No, when we are old, don't accept the persecution of fate, we have to fight the challenge of fate romantically, actively and optimistically, we may die on the mountain, die in the water, die in pursuit, die in search, die in death The road, but we can't die in the heart, we can't die in the form.

If one day we are really old... no, don't go gentle into that good night...

The World's Fastest Indian quotes

  • Leroy the Cowboy: [pointing to antelope trophy head] You got any of those critters over there?

    Burt Munro: Oh yes, much bigger though. Well, we breed them down there on big farms, and cut off their antlers and send them over to Hong Kong. And they grind the antlers into dust, and they eat that stuff. Must be some sort of aphrodisiac or something. Puts lead in your pencil.

    Rhonda: You could do with some of that eh, Leroy?

    Burt Munro: Your girlfriend?

    Leroy the Cowboy: Wife.

    Burt Munro: Oh. Oh dear...

  • Burt Munro: So what are you doing in Vietnam?

    Rusty: Umm, I'm involved in Operation Ranch Hand.

    Burt Munro: What's that? Farming or something?

    Rusty: Ah no, not exactly. We ah... we just started this program... we are spraying the jungle from the air with herbicides, so the enemy the Vietcong don't have any place to hide. Right... Agent Orange, we call this stuff.
