World's Fastest Feel Good Movie
The World's Fastest Indian
If feel good movies are your thing, this movie will be worth your money.
The story centers around a man whose dream for twenty-five years has been to go to Utah's Salt Flats to race his old Indian motorcycle from the 20's. He's hoping to get it to top 200 miles per hour. However, along the way, things keep trying to prevent him from achieving this goal.
The characters he meets along the road are always helpful, though a bit put off at first by his dreams. Could someone really find so many helpful individuals this easily? I think not, but really, it'd slow the film down too much if he had to spend hours looking for the right person to help him. He ends up befriending a drag queen, a car salesman, and a Native American, to name a few. The Native American gives him a rather interesting cure for prostate troubles that's quite memorable.
Anyway, this film, thankfully, is not centered around a motorcycle race. It's more than that. This is, at its heart, a film about accomplishing one's dream, no matter who or what tries to stop us. It is a film about living life to the fullest, and not giving up, no matter how discouraging things may get.
All-in-all, a grand feel-good time at the movies, but really nothing overly special. By all means, see it. It's just not the most earth-shattering, most inspirational thing to ever come out. It's a good time, though.
OVERALL RATING: 7/10
