What started as a slow piece about a grumpy old man turned out to be an inspirational joyride for all.

The World's Fastest Indian is not about some person from Bombay taking part in a 100 marathon, but the life and triumph of Burt Munro. This thrill seeker from the Kiwi land looked set to break motorcycle racing records in Utah.

Based on a true story, Burt was 68, an age many people would scorn at and probably thought he would do best doing some lawn work at his backyard. There couldn't be a better actor than Anthony Hopkins to fill his shoes. While the movie can be predictable and slow at times, its sneaks in you and you will end up cheering for the old man.

A story about dreams and inspirations. Are we ever too old for anything? I always wanted to be part of a boy band (haha...just joking). Have you ever gave up too easily? Have you ever thought that nothing was possible? Don't give up.

"If you don't follow through on your dreams you might as well be a vegetable". Well said, Burt. Well said.
