10 MPH (2007)

Very best movie i ever watch

Touches You

best movie i've ever seen.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Part of this film's considerable charm is the apparent naivety with which Josh and Hunter embark upon this adventure. It seemingly never occurs to them that they will not achieve their goal. Even the stunning scenery plays second fiddle to this very human tale of giving it all up for a dream. The characters they meet along the way are fascinating, and offer some very interesting insight into rural life. My personal favourite, the group of bikers they run into, who offer their views on travelling at 10 miles an hour, and repair the segway when something breaks. Apparently you cannot truly know a thing until you break it and fix it yourself. The film is not in anyway preachy, and is an endearingly off-beat look at a journey, life in a very slow lane and how much can be achieved if you really put your heart into what you are doing. This is the very best kind of 'reality'… the real kind!

Following their hearts...living their dreams...embracing their passions...listening to others...spending all their savings! It is hard to pick which of these phrases best describes their journey, but I can only imagine what they (Josh, Hunter, Gannon, Alon) have learned from other people on this journey. It will take them to worthy pinnacles of joy and enlightenment, just as the movie embodies this type of accomplishment.The humor, frankness, and joy in the movie has a feeling of being professional in their genuine childlikeness. This is a movie that embraces America, freedom, independence, and yet a reliance on each other that is empowering! A Must See beauty of a movie that grew from a hearty seed!

10 MPH is great fun and heart-warming. If you're a city dweller, you deserve a taste of what the rest of the US is like. The only thing better than actually seeing this film is that you can't help being happy for the filmmakers that they got to put their vision, talents, and sense of adventure to such good use. They embody this line from Howard Thurman, "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive." One thing that really made me want to see 10 MPH was this comment by Sam Chaffos, Documentaries Programing Director for the 2006 Vail Film Festival: " . . . the moving experience shown in your film transcends the screen and infects the audience in a way that I don't know can be properly expressed through words. Maybe it's just where I happen to be in my own life at the moment, but I doubt it. The deft editing and subtle power of the courage, friendship, humour, and adventure conveyed in 10 mph is unlike almost any documentary I've seen, and I thank you personally for exposing so much. It amounts to an unbelievably powerful piece of art."

Filmmakers' documentary about making a documentary . . . about riding a Segway.I do not like documentaries, for they record and attempt to spice up the boring, non-structured parts of life. I hate one-sided documentaries, for they are preaching an ignorant opinion proved by the ignorant one-sided facts they sought out. Having said that, this documentary was GREAT! It opened its heart to the viewer, which is the gutsiest thing you can do in a documentary. I've heard some say it drags a bit around the middle; but that is where the TRUE beauty of life is captured (something most documentaries force as "deep"). These men, and woman, used nothing but a positive out-look to reach a goal. They stood tall, throughout, on a Segway.
