Test in Space or Racecourse
Mr. Rodger Donaldson is the director of "Thirteen Days."
His new movie, though originally released in the U.S. in 2005, "World's Fastest Indian" is now put on the screen in Japan.
The situation is set in New Zealand and the U.S. in 1960's. The hero is Burt Munro, an elderly and poor New Zealander, who traveled to the U.S. on a cargo vessel to make a world record of 306Km/h in a certain class of races in the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, riding on his 1920's Indian Scout motorbike.
While it is expected that more and more baby-boom generation in Japan are going to retire in coming years, the movie based on a real story that Burt Munro made the world record at his 60's seems timely.
The movie was produced without U.S. funds. But Japanese funds contributed to its production, making its completion possible.
In the universe and on the ground, you can be tested regardless of your age, at the risk of your life or even routinely as prominent TV personalities; but you may win once for all so that you will laugh heartily like Burt the Fastest.
Yet, you need faith (even if you have already made a world record of a certain kind which is widely well known).
