The World's Fastest Indian - 9 stars out of 10

Although the title is a bit off-putting, "The World's Fastest Indian" is a must-see film that tells the true story of a kindhearted old man and the people that he meets on his way to achieving his dream. I thought that this film was just going to be about racing motorcycles but was surprised to find a perspective into the culture shock of a foreigner coming to America... and even more surprised to find some strong statements regarding the value of kindness in a typically cold society. My only complaint was the the movie flew by so fast. Burt Munro is an awesome character. Period. Anthony Hopkins delivers a fantastic performance as one of the most innocent, kind characters that I've seen. He touched the life of every person with whom he came into contact and this film is a beautiful tribute to the life and success of Burt Munro. Don't be put off by the title - this film is awesome and you will walk away with a sense of hope for goodness in the world.
