The movie with the theme of speed does not attract people with the scene of drag racing at the beginning of the film. The camera slowly advances, depicting the home of a typical modified car fan. This is simply not a home, but a car repair shop. Various parts filled the small room, and the words "dedicated to the god of speed" appeared in the scene, and the worship of speed was almost religious. Such a subject, such a scene. We seem to be used to the protagonist being a young man. But Bert woke up. The 70-year-old Bert woke up at 5:30, launched his old motorcycle, which was more than 40 years old, and started a new day at work.
Such an unconventional beginning has been fascinating. In the following scenes, the film is combined with circumfluence and connected with a series of bridges to narrate the story calmly.
The fire plug used by Burt is hand-made by himself and is cooled by the water used to make the tea. Borrow a kitchen knife from a neighbor's house and mow his tires. Such a seemingly unprofessional approach makes people inevitably not worried about whether it is safe to play.
The safety of the racing car is not optimistic, and the personal health is also worrying. After his friends in the motorcycle club held a fundraising party for him and failed to compete with the young man, he suffered a heart attack and was sent to the emergency department of the hospital. A diagnosis will be fine for the time being. But the doctor announced the end of his racing career.
The difficulties are more than these. He does not have enough funds yet, so he can make his way through mortgages and donations from neighbors. On the ship to the United States, I also rely on being the cook of the ship to reduce or exempt travel expenses.
Talk to Thomas, the kid next door, before leaving. It is an important part of understanding Burt's racing. His admiration for speed has been since childhood. The accidental death of his younger brother also gave him more awe and cherishment of life. Pursue speed while cherishing life.
The moment of parting revealed a touching warmth. Neighbors who are usually dissatisfied with the impact of Bert's racing on their lives, when Bert left, all expressed their sincere blessings. The lads who had beaten Burt before the racing car returned the money to Burt and wished him well. There is no shortage of this kind of transition in the whole film. Soothing soundtrack, simple yet warm.
The scene after arriving in the United States is also a bridge of circumflex. Entering the country, take a taxi, find a hotel, buy a used car, and pick up a motorcycle. These sections are also full of surprises. Smooth transition. Immigration management police, taxi drivers, waiters at the hotel reception, bosses of second-hand car dealers, and customs officers. Every character has a bright image. And the friendly atmosphere is always carried out. Except for the taxi driver, the other personnel are like messengers of the American people. The taxi driver is an aspect of American culture.
This part of going from Los Angeles to Yancheng is a fragment of the road. Along the way, Burt met Indian old men, old widows, soldiers returning from the Vietnam War, etc., and finally reached the game site in Salt Lake City.
Burt's obstacles continued. Because he didn't register in advance, he almost couldn't compete. Because of the rudimentary racing accessories of the workshop style, it also affected the confidence of others in his competition. It was his passion for speed that infected the organizers and qualified for the competition. Overcoming various difficulties, Old Potter finally drove the old Indian, breaking through two hundred miles, creating the fastest land speed in the world at that time.
This is the summary of the story. The film is adapted from events of real people. Anthony Hopkins' performance is real, natural and impeccable. Inspiration is of course the biggest highlight of this movie. An almost impossible thing was finally done under the protagonist's tenacious willpower. And the special thing is that an old man can create the fastest speed, which is amazing.
If it's just inspirational, maybe it's not that attractive. Another thing that attracted me to the film was the harmony between the characters. Today we are talking about a harmonious society. But this society is harmonious only in "News Network". The real society is full of disharmonious world conditions such as forced self-immolation, polarization between the rich and the poor, abnormal deaths in detention centers, and the inability to buy tickets during the Spring Festival. There is no harmony in the film, but harmony and warmth are everywhere. The relationship between Burt and his neighbors seems tense, but when Burt needs support when facing problems, they can be seen. A series of encounters during Burt's racing in the United States, everyone he met was so friendly. Of course, there is actually another problem here, that is, the same movies that promote mainstream values, our methods are always so distant, and American movies often seem to achieve their goals in such a very life-like scene. NS.
There is also a very important reason. Inspirational and harmonious performance is not agitated or exaggerated. And it's the kind of faint gentleness, not like the scorching summer sun, but the spring breeze in April. Whether it was encountering problems or overcoming suffering, Burt's reaction was not violent. It's a very internal emotion. On the contrary, the character's heart gets a deeper understanding of the heart than the heart from the audience. The right piano is fresh, relaxed, and gentle. It is looming, showing the mood of the film appropriately, which is unforgettable.
Watching the entire movie is like savoring a cup of tea. The tea has been eaten, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth. It's like listening to a nice piece of music, the remaining sound is dim, and it lasts for three days. There are many good movies, "The World's Fastest Indian Motorcycle" starring Hopkins, count as one.
