I'm afraid of watching this film, so PLEASE give me spoilers!


Where i live 99% of the people are completely Senna-blind. They revere Senna as a "hero" although he have never done anything for the good of humanity. I had no interest of watching it in the cinema (very less with the awful "the hero revealed" subheading on the posters) so i need spoilers to decide whether i download it or not.

I thought Senna gave 400 million to help the people of Brazil and that his sister continues a charity in his name. That doesn't sound like nothing to me.

Viviane Senna only used her brother's name as a bait.

That is a shame. As for the movie, it does seem somewhat sympathetic toward Senna. Most of it revolves around his rivalry with Alain Prost , Balastre and his career after 88. It is a very good documentary though and very enjoyable. I would recommend watching even if you don't like Senna himself.

I'm not Senna blind, although he was an amazing driver, and that is what this doc. shows. I just finished watching it literally 5 minutes ago. If you like F1, you have to see this even if you hate Senna. And yes, it does have a bias towards him .. well, the title kind of gives you a hint of that, but the footage is great, and they show real racing. I also enjoyed how they approach the Imola GP of 94.

I think if you re-read your own post you might actually find the answer you were looking for!

I sgould say though, despite each one's opinion about Senna, this is a fantastic documentary, it is so well constructed and cut, it feels like watching a movie!

It sounds like you don't have respect or admiration for Senna. I would imagine you would be best to skip it.
