Senna. The Movie. Watch It.

Senna, the movie. Amazing. You must watch it.

I'm not a huge F1 fan, not anymore anyway. Never felt the same after Senna died. I can see boring parades of cars any day of the week on I-285 near my house. But this movie brought it all back for me, when I'd have to wake up at some ungodly hour in the morning (4a?) and drive over to my buddy's house to watch the races live from Europe (he had cable, I didn't).

Google search for "Senna movie" for more information:

Or do a Google "what do you love" search for Ayrton Senna, to get information in many forms:

Try not to talk out loud in the movie, like I did. It was very difficult when they showed Alain Prost being interviewed, basically saying, "What, me? Do you think I would run Senna off the track just to secure the championship?" I couldn't help saying "Yes!" out loud in the theater. Not that anyone objected, because the answer was so obvious.

And, of course, Senna returned the favor the following year!

You need to see the movie.


In closing, when doing some Google searches, I found this blog post to be a nice write-up of the movie. Don't forget to also read the comments after the post. Rather than just repeat what this guy says, better to provide the link, from Andy Buckle's Film Emporium:
