I got the DVD from my local video store. As I was watching it I noticed the back of the box where it said "150 minutes of action and Olympic racing, and 100 minutes of life". I thought, hey I have been to that film festival. No I have not been to that film festival. This is a one time watch. So if you get the chance, see it. The film is really interesting. The story is really cool. So long as you don't expect it. The film makers put a lot of time into showing the events of the Olympics and then time to restate how much those events actually affected people's lives. This was a great documentary.

I have just finished watching "The Last Race", a documentary about the Grand Prix that took place in the Czech Republic in 1969, to a movie I was familiar with, the 1994 "Trilogy of Death" (TOD). As the last words of the title of the film, it will make you think about what a period of time these races really were and what problems they caused. The races were not the famous races where you can see cars smashing each other into the dirt, but they were a lot more important than the track itself. The most important thing to remember in these races was not the cars, but the people who were there and what they did, and they took their own lives as a result of these races. I think the acting in the film was quite well done and it gives you a sense of the races being the most important thing that people did. The production quality was very good as well, with the large-scale documentary films you get a feeling that the people who made the film really went to this place. The local people speak their language and look different than in other parts of Europe, and it makes it much more interesting. One thing I noticed in the film is the situation regarding the men who lost their lives. I find the way they speak about the events that happened is quite unusual. It is rather silent and there is some kind of detachment from the pain and the impact of what happened, which makes it all the more realistic. Overall, I enjoyed this movie very much and would recommend it to anyone.

I just saw this documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival. I've seen "The Last Race" twice before, in May and October, and really liked it the second time around. The first time, I was pleasantly surprised by how powerfully the story was told. The movie is well-made, and it contains a lot of interesting footage that I would love to see again, but the film itself also has a few parts that are kinda weird, or if I were not a fan of the film, would cause me to doubt its legitimacy. The film makers are not afraid to be eccentric, and in one scene (this is in the editing room) they show a camera footage of the same shot in the film as a separate set of still images. I found it rather odd that they had filmed the scene in both of the earlier versions. Overall, I found this an enjoyable film, and it is well worth checking out.

This documentary is one of the most important documentaries I have ever seen. It shows that even when you are the underdog you are still an underdog. The road trip that the team made from an unlikely opportunity to a brilliant win is inspiring and heart-warming. I am especially happy that they had the privilege of being the athletes. I am also sad to see that, even after a few months, they were still exhausted and emotional.

The soundtrack to this film is wonderful, but that's about it. For a film about a race that's pretty hard to find, it's a little disappointing. It's not a bad film though. You have a number of important aspects of the 60's' movement, and it's all very well done. I like to look at the imagery that's been chosen to do so, and I found it interesting how it was presented. I'm sure this could be a great film, but it's still incomplete. Perhaps if I'm at the right place at the right time I'll have a chance to see this. It's the first race I ever watched and it made a lasting impression on me. I've seen it once and I've seen it a couple of times since.

It's been a long time since I've seen a movie about world athletics, so when I found out there was a new one being made about the Olympics, I was intrigued. How do you keep up with the Olympics? I like the way the filmmakers used music to express emotions, and I enjoyed seeing the athletes competing, particularly those competing in the individual sports (rugby, hockey, soccer, swimming, track & field). As a parent, I have watched my kids compete in the Olympics and I understand how a sports fan would enjoy this. I was surprised at how well the movie portrayed athletes with low self-esteem. I believe that a sports fan has the same concern for athletes who struggle with academics and show no remorse for cheating. My first question was, "How many of the athletes in the movie are still active, and how do you know?" The short answer: None, but all of them are currently active. And I'm still in touch with many of them. I felt that the athletes' speeches were a little bit predictable at times, but I was glad that the director went into more depth on some of the athletes' lives and personal stories. I appreciate that the filmmakers used a more comprehensive look at each of the athletes and their lives. Another issue I had was with the transitions in some of the segments. I was watching the movie in Spanish and Spanish subtitles were often in the background, which was annoying. I also noticed that the transitions were not well synced. There was a lot of jarring of each of the segments. I would recommend the movie, but only if you have some background in the Olympics, and you would be interested in understanding how the athletes' lives compare to the average person's. At least at first, I was, but as the movie progressed I began to feel that the transitions were becoming annoying.

I have only one complaint. With each race the race announcer or other announcers changes the audio to the same in the previous race and the two different sound types. This is nothing like "the best of the best" to the average viewer. If you have this problem, please rent this and listen to the audio. I also have another problem with the movie. In the "Race for the finish line" the announcer only has about 20 seconds to give the race winner. In the previous race they had to give the winner a very brief recap about how the race went. This made the race a little more intense. In the first race I didn't care. In the second I did and I liked it more. Other than that it was a good movie. Maybe if the race announcer didn't change the audio it would be a little more interesting. What do you think? If you don't like this movie, don't rent it. If you like it, rent it.

The first half of the movie is just nice and funny. But after that part the movie gets much more serious. And the "race" part is actually not even funny. The movie takes itself too serious and everything that happens to Cameron is just too serious. This makes the movie really slow and boring and is really not fun to watch. Also it's a shame that they don't put any racing action scenes in the movie. I wouldn't recommend it at all. The movie is not worth watching.

I agree with the previous reviewer's review. It is a well-done documentary of the likes of the more famous racers of the 60's. The artistry of the photography and photography-style also remind me of the old sports films from the 40's and 50's, like Buster Keaton's "He's Too Sexy for A Four Year Old." This is a must-see if you enjoy sports films. You may like it if you enjoy the sport of running.

This is the only film of the seven documentaries shown this year. The scene for the movie is taken from the last race of the 1967 New York World Championship at the Astor Place Casino, and the footage is edited with that race in mind. So much time is given over the sport of rowing, the sailors, the costumes, the reactions, and the history of the sport. You just watch and watch and watch the amazing sport of rowing, and you get a complete picture of the great events that have been captured. The filmmakers followed the sport of rowing through the last four world championships in the U.S., and the crew's reaction to the sport was outstanding. It is obvious that the great and very talented men of the 1960s and 70s were the heroes of the sport and there was no place to go but up. After watching this documentary, I can not wait for the next World Championships in the U.S. in 2015. I give the movie 7 stars. A must see for the sports enthusiast.

This is a really interesting documentary on the interesting world of Burt Munro. It's mostly a collection of clips from his racing days, plus some discussion with Munro, his wife and children. The pacing is good, and there's a lot of things to see and hear, and a lot to say. There are a lot of fine interviews, and Munro himself is very interesting, and you get to see that he really does have a strong will and an amazing personality. It's a fun and interesting documentary, but it's a little uneven in tone. It's very serious, and everything about it is very earnest. Some of the stuff is painful to watch, and some of it is not very interesting. The place where it falls a little short is the race itself. For example, Munro refuses to discuss his race record. The races he chooses to talk about are the 1969 Ironman in Taiwan and the 1995 Olympic Trials in Barcelona, which were both fine, but this one is in Poland and was really the highlight of his racing career. Munro is not asked about it, and it's all we get to see of his later races in Europe and the U.S. (Munro was an American). It would have been nice to have seen more discussion about this race and more talk about his career, especially since he's not seen much of it since that day in 1970, except for one week in 1978 when he was working with the Canadian mountain bike team. There are some good things about the film, such as Munro's great sense of humor and his reputation as one of the best and most entertaining racers of all time. But it's not as well-done as it should be, and the tone is too serious, but also too entertaining. It's like watching a short documentary on a certain person, but the subject is too serious, so it's not very entertaining. There's a lot of stuff that I thought was very interesting, but it's not interesting enough to be as good as it could have been. The audience will love this, the audience will hate this, but if you're interested in a good documentary about one of the most charismatic and interesting racers of all time, check it out.

Based on a true story of World Cup hopefuls trying to make it in the game. What I love about this documentary is that it's not always the story that's important, it's what the players are doing to make it in the game. Some of the stories are quite depressing and almost unbearably brutal, some of the guys look like they have their best years of their lives ahead of them. It is an important film that tells a story that needs to be told and what's needed is some positive energy to get these athletes to succeed. The film does a great job at highlighting the heartbreak and horrors that come with the game and it's just really tragic. There is also a lot of coverage of the players, their families and the fans. It's quite interesting to see the world's attention focused on these athletes and I'm sure there is some sort of perception problem. I think the best compliment I can give this film is that it shows what is really important about football, the game itself. I think this is a film that needs to be seen, it's a MUST SEE.

Now that I've seen the original movie and this documentary, I was disappointed at not seeing an entire movie to discuss. This documentary doesn't fit into a film series because there is no discussion and the parts that do exist are simply shots of people. The parts that were used are boring, boring, boring. While this documentary had its good points, it had one very bad point: It is all focused on one subject (the biggest question of all), and they did not discuss any other subjects. It is a shame because I would have been a lot more interested in seeing the films mentioned because of this. I don't know if they're still going to be making more documentaries, but they definitely can't keep focusing on the one subject. It is extremely difficult to not give a lecture to a lecture. I feel like they could have done this differently and created another movie. This documentary should have been just another one that could be watched by a fan of the film. Overall, I would say that this is a great documentary for people to watch, but it should have been a documentary that was an entire movie. If you're looking for something to discuss in a movie, then watch The Last Race and you'll see what I mean.

This documentary on the making of the last race between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg was rather interesting. Both drivers are interviewed and during the race Nico Rosberg is really weak and only manages to take a win. This documentary is rather interesting as they look into the team's problems, their personal problems, and the frustrations of a grand prix driver. It covers many interesting things, such as Nico Rosberg's mindset when he does not know whether he will make the race. It also explores Rosberg's interaction with his family and the pressures of the family life. The documentary also goes into the reasons why Nico Rosberg will never win a grand prix. It shows the pressures that every driver must face and the constant demands that he must make. It also shows how Nico Rosberg becomes the best driver and the reasons why he cannot beat Lewis Hamilton. It also gets into some of the crew's and other people's opinion on Rosberg. Overall, I recommend watching this documentary. It shows that the biggest problem for a driver is their motivation. It also has a great amount of news from the car when it was racing.

What are you thinking? Take my word for it: this film is about a man's journey into the 'unfair world' of the National Cycling Team. You know the cliche: the rich play by the book and the poor beg for scraps. That's what this film is about. The Man (David Braben) is a senior member of the British Cycling Team and he has been doing it for 20 years. He has enjoyed success, even the trophy that his team has won over the years. But the time has come to tell his story. The BBC wanted to do a film about the man and so they enlisted a team of veterans and one former champion. The result is this film that really reveals what a farcical thing the world of cycling really is. It is a sport where the top riders (Braben, Peter Sagan and Chris Froome) go into unchartered territory, far from the powerhouses of cycling and that's where they learn. The road to the top is full of potholes, hiccups and, of course, ego. And the Team Man goes into battle with it. All the power and the wealth go into the battle and none of the money goes to the poor, which is just about everyone else. It is a world where stars trade blows and will do anything to become the best. The whole film is dedicated to the concept of the Team Man and the crazy concept of the cycling team. It is about the idea of a team as a lifestyle, it's about how the Team Man has his own way of life and his own world. It's about men who want to be on top and men who don't care what others think of them. It's about a world that's out of control. But what makes this film special is its cast and the men involved. Each has a different experience and takes on the project with a different mindset. The lead actor Braben is certainly a veteran of the sport, a man who knows what he's talking about and is arguably the biggest star of the sport today. But then again, he has that certain quality to him that makes him a force to be reckoned with and it's here that his role is the most important. The acting of the actors in this film is also superb. We see great character actors like Helen Bonham Carter and Barry Humphries and then the supporting cast like Mark Furness, Anthony Head, Jim Carrey, Peter Kay and even Thomas Dolby. It is also interesting to see former champions like Chris Hoy and Tom Latham and even former National Champion Ben Swift all putting in great performances. The team in this film is not perfect and some of the team names should have been avoided (the current Olympic champion was good, for example, but didn't have the pomp that was part of the original team) but there is a whole lot of cycling in this film. The film is a tight, insightful look at a sport that exists in a grey area. We see all the highs and lows and it is fascinating. And if you want a feeling of what cycling really is, this film is for you.

After watching his new movie "The Last Race" I was excited about seeing a Canadian film and so I looked forward to seeing this film. I didn't know anything about this movie, except the fact that this is the first feature film by Chris Hoy, the man behind "Darkness". Well, the movie was awesome, the first time I saw it I fell in love with it. I was truly impressed by Hoy's directing and his camera work. His abilities were a little unique. He shot the film with a very unique camera style. This style was used on the majority of the film. This style worked well and didn't take away from the film. The movie itself is just another classic story about a Canadian film that has Canadian actors. The story itself was really good. It was not one of those films that had a plot or twist, it was just a great story with great camera work. I was truly impressed with this film and it was a must see for any fan of Chris Hoy. This is a film that any true Canadian should see. 7.5/10

What a disappointing film that represents one of the more notable early 1970s music documentaries. The director, Walter Swain, is a seasoned music video pioneer, so I expect a good film, but the film is too disorganized to be informative. It goes on and on and on, even if the interesting subjects are hardly touched upon. The movie does not have a narrative arc, and it tries to cover too many subjects with too little time, just to cover the ball on many subjects. It was great to see a black figure in the music video business as well, but in this movie, all the black subjects were white. Of course, it's one thing to just go off in a tangent on this topic; it's another to show a black man's story about how he became a singer, and how he grew up in the ghetto. With so many musical personalities in the film, this was a total waste of time.

It is refreshing to see a movie that is both informative and entertaining at the same time. Though The Last Race lacks the technical chops of the Last Rainforest, it still delivers a decent message of survival in the face of death. An elite cross-country team of snowboarders heads out to conquer the hardest, most intimidating mountain in the world - The Caucasus Mountains in Azerbaijan. Their path is riddled with dangers, and it is through these obstacles that the team works its way through to victory.

The first half of this documentary is about the London Cyclist Campaign and is based on that campaign. The second half is about what the campaign was trying to achieve, and how the BBC, SPEED and BBC2 and other London media could have helped this campaign succeed. The race itself was shown on SPEED but it's not really mentioned. The race was live on television but there was no news bulletins or anything. It was basically a bunch of people going around the streets of London, sometimes racing each other, sometimes on a bike and sometimes in cars, sometimes alone. It was just a bunch of people going round the streets of London, interacting and being human in a completely different way than racing was ever meant to be. The Race was about the old idea of the great battle between the poor and the rich, and the idealistic message of the campaign. As well as the races, there was footage from the Manchester and Cambridge races as well as from the 2008 version of the 'race'. As well as this, there was footage of people all over the world, including in the UK, watching the race on television. They could hear the announcers calling out the names of the riders, so it was a clear message that this race mattered, as well as people on the street saying they'd watched it, many more that the BBC kept asking. After seeing this race, it seemed like the people in the room would have liked it, but it was really a once in a lifetime opportunity for them. It was like being in an exclusive club, or even being in a high class restaurant, and when the group was all together, it was like sitting at a table with a great group of people. The fact that they'd all been in the same boat at the beginning of the race, so many of them would have been cheering, would have been a great thing to experience. The majority of the footage, that was shown, was during the race. This is fine, as it gives the viewer a feel for the atmosphere. The races were shown as if they were real people racing, and the graphics and sounds made it feel like we were watching a race. It was like watching a race on TV and real people racing. As well as these races, there was also footage of people in London all over the world watching the race. In particular, one person in the film, Michael Davidson, was at the starting line, and when he got off the bus, he said something like, 'He's a fucking genius'. He was so in love with the race that he had a fan club, and he had a contact in the BBC to tell him how to promote it. It was amazing that Michael had the balls to do that and make it so amazing. Overall, this film was good, but it wasn't good enough. There's still so much to tell. The documentary was really focused on the London Cyclist Campaign and had a good idea of what the campaign was about, but it was just not clear enough, as it would have been good if we could have heard more from the other people who were involved, and what the messages were, to see how it affected them personally. There were many people who have participated in the London Cyclist Campaign, but they didn't have the opportunity to tell us the message they were trying to send, and tell us about their experiences. As well as this, there were some other messages about the race itself, like that it was not about racing, but people being in a great race, like cycling. Many other messages were too vague, like that it was about seeing who was the best cyclist, but the message was not clear enough

I read the previous reviews before I watched this film. I would like to say that this is not about the Paralympic Games. The real story of the life of a disabled person at the age of 20 was not the topic of this movie. I would like to say that the scene at the beginning when he was put on the wheelchair in the hospital was not a shot at the Paralympics. The fact that the government had to start with this was just something that they wanted to happen in order to make a political statement. This was something that we could not force. To tell you the truth, I don't know how this film will appeal to the general audience. I think that it's gonna appeal to people who are handicapped in some way. It's just a small thing and a nice thing to do. But I don't know if it will appeal to the general public because I think that many of the people who watch this movie, they are not even thinking about the Paralympic Games. I think that there are many more important things than just winning the games. The film would have been more interesting if the movie was about the Paralympics. This movie would have been more interesting if they had to have a subject other than the Paralympics. And to tell you the truth, I don't think that this is a good movie. But it's not really bad.
