I'm definately going to see this though its very limited viewing (sometimes just one show!) depending on your location outside of London.....
Senna

Got my ticket to see it tomorrow.

This seems like one of those movies where even if you're not interested in the sport or athlete in question you can still thoroughly enjoy it!

RIP Ayrton Senna.

Great Documentary

im going to see this tonight, i cant wait!!!

RIP a racing ledgend...

Prof Sid Watkins has just been on the Beeb talking about this. A definate must for any F1 fan IMO.......

I am hoping to go and see this either Sunday evening or Monday afternoon.

Just looking on Youtube for the trailer and found this

Lewis looks close to tears just before climbing out, I found it moving to see these two in such awe of both the man and machine. Worth watching, even if you have seen it before.

Really want to go and watch the movie now. I have a feeling I might shed a tear!

RIP Ayrton

Haven't seen the movie & although Senna is indeed a legend to some, his aggresive style didn't go down too well with other drivers. This said, that's what racing was all about. Senna caused intentionally tactical accidents shall we say, in his career. Brave man 'though....or did he have a !!!

Did he do that with his washer jets?

Don't be stupid son , no washer jets on these cars, surely you knew that?

Off topic, but I remember back in '73 as a young man attending the Scottish motor show in Glasgow, I had the chance of meeting Jackie Stewart,bit of a legend & although I didn't do the hero worship thing, even back then, he was some what of a personality to meet in the racing world.

My bubble was burst big time as I approached the wee man (he was quite small) as I asked for his autograph, only to be totally ignored. I remember seeing up close his racing car & how you could put your hand into the very wide slick tyres. I was ready to meet my hero, he was surrounded by a bevy of lovely ladies. Things are just not what they seem at times.

Saw it this evening. Highly recommended.

Take a tissue...

ewwww

Only one showing near us but I've pre-booked seats. Will spend the next couple of weeks avoiding reviews and this thread

Absolute must see film. The in-car footage in particular is incredible. definitely appeals to car nuts and otherwise alike.

Some of the clips - like the brief one with Roland Ratzenberger on the Saturday before Senna's accident - are very moving.

Where I watched it there were people stuck in their seats with the credits long gone. All were silent. It's that kind of film.

Exactly. Though it's definitely a pro-Senna film it's not a fawning 'he can do no wrong' and even though you know the ending it's still a shock when it happens.

Curious - although I had of course remembered Ratzenberger's death the day before, I had completely forgotten that the accident of the Friday was Barrichello.

Reubens was damn lucky that day - his deceleration was formidable. His was arguably the worst crash of the three. Really was a black weekend....

I seem to remember Barichello took on over 100G's deceleration?

Walked away from it though...

Martin Donnelly didn't look too clever in the aftermath of his crash. Again he was ok though eventually.

The footage of Ratzenberger's crash in the film is a bit hazy. His pre-race thoughts however are harrowing in many ways..

Cheers,

I saw this in Oxford yesterday, really good.

I wonder if they will manage to sling some extra footage on the DVD release.....

There is a long version called The Speed of Sound. It's got about an hour's worth of interviews included throughout the film. I managed to 'acquire' a download of the movie the other day and thought it was just part of the film, then realised it had been running for over two and a half hours!!

The interviews are interesting though, but I'll go and see it at the cinema so I can see the proper theatrical release.

Very good film, watched it in Bath a couple of weeks back. Every seat was sold out, and everyone remained quiet throughout, not one annoying bugger talking or rustling sweet papers!

Going to see this tomorrow. Almost forgot it was on until I just read this thread.

GOD THANK THIS FORUM
