Movie Review in _Bicycling_
=v= The purpose of this message is to pass along an URL to a
movie review in _Bicycling_, but the print version is preceded by a two-page spread with a great preamble that they did not put online. So, I'm transcribing it here. Give it a read before "turning the page" (by clicking on the URL). Twenty-five years ago, the world was changed by an unprecedented yet mostly forgotten event that FINALLY AND FULLY expressed the passion of the cyclist -- the inexplicable love between human and bicycle, the enduring dream of riding faster and farther, the sport's simultaneous connection and gap between average and elite, the humilation and redemption THAT EXISTS IN EVERY CRASH, the awful vagaries of fate and the question of destiny itself, and the flirtation with hubris evoked by even a simple ride through the neighborhood, AND TO ALL OF THIS we add our amazement that the visionary who managed to distill the obsession of the cyclist into a work of art running no longer than a typical bike ride WAS ABLE TO EXPLAIN THIS MIRACLE by saying ... http://www.bicycling.com/news/featur...ies/i-meant-do =v= The review itself concerns the greatest cycling movie ever made, and argues this point in words that echo my own thoughts on the matter. _Jym_ |
