World's Fastest Indian

For those of you who don't know--The World's Fastest Indian is movie that came out earlier this year. It is a true story based on a New Zealand man and his dreams. (The Indian is his 1920's Indian Scout motorcycle.) The story follows him as he follows his dream to break the land speed record. Anthony Hopkins plays the lead and he is UTTERLY AMAZING!!!!! Within the first 10 minutes of the movie you are so engrossed in his character that you desperately want to meet this man. You will get so caught up in his dream, your heart will race along with his! He has such a passion for his dream and his life. He is a good and decent person, nothing shady about him at all. And what I LOVED the most is how whenever he met a new person he introduced himself and shook their hand, he treated every single person as a friend. Wouldn't that be great if we could all do that?! He will stop at nothing to fulfill his dream yet he is not hardheaded or insensitive to others. Instead he tries to help everyone he can in whatever way he can. He tries to impact the lives of those he comes across in a positive way. I highly recommend this movie. It is amazing and I LOVED it so. If you do watch it, you will have to comment and let me know what you think about it, I would love to know!

Fitzs--one of you guys will have to NetFlix it and watch it with my Mom. :)

P.S.----Gienkes, it is rated PG-13 for a couple of very minor scenes.

I saw it about a month ago. I thought it was really really good. Even though there were a couple of bad hits in his life, it was overall a feel good movie, and you don't get much of that anymore :)
