5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, December 28, 2009

This review is from: Love the Beast [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.4 Import - Australia ] (DVD)

"Love the Beast" is one of the finest car movies to come out in the past decade. Forget "The Fast and the Furious" franchise, "Gone in 60 Seconds" or some of the other offerings, this movie is the real deal. I was shocked to discover this airing on the Speed channel as this is a movie I would have seeked it out. It just flew under my radar for some reason. But what you have here is a love story to a car, Eric Bana (who I had no idea was a car guy) and his Ford Falcon Coupe). But this movie touches on many levels, the friends and family that surround Bana because of his love for his car, the philosophy of machines having human like qualities, the experience of racing cars, the peaks and valley's of motor sports, and just plain joy. This movie was very important to me as I race cars and love my cars and have relationships with all of them. But really this movie is accessible to anyone, that is the beauty of it. It isn't simply a "car" movie or a "race" movie, it is a total "journey" movie. This movie tells a personal story that we get to experience with Bana, it is really great and human and wonderful. I equate this with two of my favorites "Long Way Down" and "Long Way Round."

5.0 out of 5 stars Eric Bana's Love of the car!!, December 20, 2009

If you are a car guy/girl you will love this movie!! If not, you might still get something out of it or better understand your family and friends that love their muscle cars sooo much! Eric Bana is a very nice and decent guy. I would recommend this movie to anyone, but as I said, the car people will LOVE THIS!! The story goes from young lad to modern day actor and his relationship with his Ford. Great Movie!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Love Affair, January 4, 2010

By 

kkav (Cumberland, RI United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Love the Beast [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.4 Import - Australia ] (DVD)

I just saw this movie on the Speed Channel and, like other viewers, enjoyed it greatly. It is the story of a man's love affair with a car he first bought years before.

But the movie is so much more than that. It is a love affair of good friends, family, and, of course, the car and the racing. The car is not the star of this picture; the human spirit is.

Unlike other car films, the story of Eric Bana and his life covers so much more than the usual celebrity hobby nonsense. The cameo appearances of Jay Leno and Dr. Phil are well done. You see a slightly different side of Jay here. The sub-plots of his parents, his own young family, his career in the movies, and his life-long friendship with his "mates" makes this picture the best thing I've seen in a long time.

Maybe Michael Moore could watch this and finally learn how to make an accurate film.
