I watched the movie Senna. If you haven't seen it, you MUST. If you have seen it, well, re-visit it.
What an outstanding film. About Formula One Racing in the late 80's and early 90's. It's a documentary, but one of the most engaging docu's I've seen in a long time. Camcorders were everywhere by that time, and this movie is real footage of the real people. Amazing! Lots of personalities, lots of action, lots of crashes. The real ones -when they really happened.
First Youtube is the commercial trailer. The second one is an hour long, sort of Bonus to the movie. I only screened the first 7 minutes of it, but it drew me in too.

Senna -- Netflix it- today! :)

I saw it on Netflix the other day and I will watch it as soon as I am home long enough. It looked interesting though

There is a local theater that caters to the foreign film crowd.
Many demanded they find and show the film Senna, which they did.
That's where I saw it.
It was a small theater, small screen, and small audience.
But it was an audience that came to view that film because of Ayrton Senna.
Not just for entertainment.


Hamilton, Button, and Senna's Honda (how'd you like to visit the McLaren garage?).

Hey that Top Gear was good! And that guy - I know he's a famous driver right? got to drive one of Senna's cars.
The movie really sucks you in. You get to see him go thru some changes as he becomes more experienced.
