World's fastest Indian

One of the most memorable filmed moments of the year for me was a preety simple story. Simple, yet far from ending up small or meaningless in any way. A story of a slightly aged New Zealand Kiwi, who had never given up on his childhood dream. Burt Munros story of utter strive & ambition.

And though this elderly character (portrayed brilliantly by Anthony Hopkins!) seems quite stubborn and even a bit (over)optimistic starting off - he later unveils knowledge and will that can only grow with real life experience. An alfa-male that has never forgotten his true nature... willing to go all the way. Period.

In one of his quotes, talking to his youthful neighbor friend, he calmly denied fear and boosted the greatness of true & positive experience with a preety bold statement:


"You live more in five minutes on a bike like this going flat out than some people live in a lifetime."

I can only SECOND... and sometimes even THIRD that!!
And it goes in more ways also! A must see!
