Tonight I saw the movie The Fastest Indian. At first, I was skeptical after reading the mixed reviews. But, I loved this movie. Anthony Hopkins was great and I even forgot that he played Hannibal Lector.Â
Hopkins plays Burt Munroe, who set the fastest speed recorded in motorcycles under 1000cc’s. Munroe travels from Invercargill, New Zealand to the U.S.A by boat.  Munroe is befriended by many people throughout his journey to the Bonneville salt flats in Utah for Speed Week.
Hopkins made me feel Burt Munroe’s excitement, disappointments and befuddlements. I must warn you though, The Fastest Indian does not have gratuitious sex, gratuitous car chases nor gratuitious bloodshed. The Fastest Indian didn’t need any special effects.  I wish Hollywood would make more of these type of stories… and I reiterate the story part. The Fastest Indian will make you seek out your passion. My favorite line in the movie that Burt says(excuse me if it’s not word for word): “If you don’t have a dream, you might as well be a vegetable.”
