Love the Beast (2009)
Great, i loved it.
OK, i am a car guy, but i believe the other reviews here are completely missing the point! One compared this with the " Worlds fastest Indian" , please, this was never meant to be such a thing, nor even a movie. This is a documentary, more about friendships, than cars. I am a 37 year old Australian, living overseas for 15 years, and some parts of this hit a nerve with me, and i confess, made me a little emotional. To say this is a car movie is plain wrong, it is a well put together, thought provoking documentary. If you like cars, as i do, it caters for that as well. Eric Banner has just gone up a few points in my mind, just a plain down to earth guy. There is a scene near the end, where Erics Mother is explaining how its time her husbands old car to go. There is true emotion on his face, and he never says a word. Later you see Eric and him driving in this car, and you can feel the joy. Its about bonds, father and son, memory's, and yes, it through a car, but she has no clue to this. This is a story of male bonding, through common interests, and i thought it was one of the best i have seen in a long time.
