In the countryside of New Zealand, a kind-hearted old man named Bert Mengruo used his life experience to refit a 1920-made Indian motorcycle made with steel made by indigenous methods, and then enjoy the pleasure of speed on the beach again and again. A loss in a race against young drivers and a heart attack made him realize that his life is limited. Finally, the old man came to the land of his dreams with faith, and galloped on the Bonneville salt flats in the United States. The old man’s kid next door, Tom, asked him if he was afraid of something wrong. The old man said, you drive at full speed like this for five minutes, which is worth some people's life. You know that danger is the spice of life, you have to take risks all the time, don’t you? Only in this way can life be meaningful. This is the philosophy of the old man, an idealist who puts it into action. This is an inspirational film depicting ideals. It is very warm. The old man’s incompatible lifestyle must be a dramatic element that intensifies contradictions in traditional genre films. However, in this film, the old man’s stubbornness and perseverance towards his own preferences did not let him. The people in the village were disgusted. Although everyone had doubts about him, they all silently respected his choice. The old man was going to the other side of the ocean. Before he left, the neighbor reminded him to trim the overgrown yard. He actually set a fire and burned it all. Although the neighbor was helpless, when the old man triumphed at the end of the film, this kind man had already His yard is neat and tidy. The old man came from the unsophisticated New Zealand to the messy America, copying a strong accent and insignificant ears, the appearance of a typical dumpling entering the city, so that the people on this land cast all kinds of contemptuous eyes. Isn't this the portrayal of every one of us with dreams just stepping into a foreign land? But our Burt Munro is kind and optimistic. Apart from worrying about that classic car, he never frowns about trivial matters in the world. He can always use his relieved sense of humor to resolve the strange eyes of others and open his heart to peace. Everyone communicates, no matter what difficulties he encounters, he is calm and calm. His character breaks the barriers between nations and races. Along the way, he meets all kinds of friends, whether they are transgender blacks or vicissitudes of old Indians. From the single cowgirl to the last salty racers, they were all infected by the old knight's perseverance. The well-equipped racers laughed out loud when seeing Burt Munro’s broken antique, which was not technically standard in any way. They ridiculed the tyres recuperated by the kitchen knife, the shell made of the kitchen door and the fuel tank stuffed with it. The brandy cork even tells the fact that you are too old. Then the old man told them seriously: Maybe on the outside, I am very old, but I will always be 18 years old inside. Young man, I can bet on racing with you. old Sir Anthony Hopkins has portrayed a variety of characters. Whether it is an elegant ogre, a British gentleman, an anxious and lonely president or a strict dignity, or the chic and honest old knight in this film, he can always dominate the role. Home is above the individual, people always remember the unforgettable characters he interprets, but they have never been able to estimate how big a surprise he can give people. This naive old man in the film has only had a few mood swings. For example, several times when he thinks of his elder brother who died young. When the Indian motorcycle was transported to the United States, there was a fright at the moment it was damaged, as well as the fear that he could not participate in the competition. Later, when everyone supported him, he smiled boldly like a child. What moved me the most was that Bert came to the holy place in his heart with all his hardships. The old man looked at the white and flat salt land, dictating the names of the knights who had conquered here, and was in tears. His dream was near. Just a stone's throw away, it is beyond words to see my respect for Anthony Hopkins' whole-hearted deduction. Everyone has dreams. The dreams of old men may not be as turbulent as young people do, but it is better than the trickling spring water, which is endless and permeates every corner of his life. Dreams are the accelerator that drives life forward. But not everyone has the passion and courage to twist it.
