Love The Beast (2009)

Love The Beast is a documentary films, similar to District 9 (a documentary film talks bout alien being illegal imigrant at Earth), and Paranormal Activities (a coming-soon documentary film on ghost and paranormal activities) or The Fourth Kind (a coming-soon documentary film on alien abduction..) Whats with the new documentary style films nowadays????????
First of all, great film this is. If there's one documentary film that's worth remembering on about, i would reckon its Love The Beast. District 9 has given me a bad impression of documentary films. Partially it doesn't felt real enough, and that the story is a bit depressing and gross. But still it has its points.....

Love The Beast talks about Eric Bana (Ang Lee's Hulk, Troy, Black Hawk Down and also, the film im anticipating, The Time Traveler's Wife.) real life experience on cars and races throughout his whole life. How, he got his first Ford Falcon coupe at young, rebuild it with his friends in his garage, how it kept him out of trouble, how he grew to like the sport, the races he participated in. Its the kind of movie where, it makes u developed a liking toward, and changes your perspective and thoughts on the subject of the movie, which is cars. And it has done well. Dr. Phill McGraw, Jay Leno and Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear has their own parts in the movie too, sharing thoughts about one's emotion and feeling to something else, in the latter cases especially, cars. Its essentially suitable for people that aren't fond with cars, or just isn't a car-guy. Its totally wrong to assume, that this movie is just for the petrolheads, its for the whole society, and it might just converts u to a petrolhead as well.

Its not a movie about motorsports, or flashy cars, it just talks bout a man's love for something else that isn't human, that you thought just isn't worth loving for.

Overall, this movie is a top notch for me~seriously~the cameras are perfect, theres no blurry shots, there's not hidden meaning in the movie, everything's clear and straight forward. Real footage taken from in-car camera during the races. Everything's magnificent.....the scenes the story behind it, there's nothing fictional about this, this is truly, a documentary films, it documents, a real life story. 10/10 no doubt.

Quotes from the film.....

[ Jay Leno : I don't wanna go out and show how bad i am, its a bit like, i enjoyed having sex, but i dun wanna be a porn star. I just enjoy it so, so, that's why i don't race. ]

[ Jeremy Clarkson: 600 horsepower and leaf spring, are you mad?! ]

[ Dr. Phil McGraw: Well c'mon, its a car rite? No. It is a symbol of your history, it is a thread of continuity from where you came, and where you are. ]
