Фильм және анимация

The Real Ayrton Senna - as he has never been seen before.

By nature, I don't cry. I lock bad stuff in back of my head. But in 1994, I've cried for many hours.
Amazing footage. The man who made this documentary, Francis Megahy, passed away in 2020 from cancer. He died on May 1. Quite a coincidence. RIP Francis, and thank you for these wonderful memories.

His death made many Brazilians stop watching F1, for us it lost all the fun. You can understand his connection with his country by how he won the Brazilian GP, he had won every thing but never on his country, the car got stuck on 6th gear but he kept going, by the end of the race he couldn't move his arms (and the audio of him celebrating is amazing). He started a foundation that keeps helping children even after his death. His funeral was unbelievable, a casket with his helmet on top of it, the country stopped. It's hard to put everything on words. He made us very proud.

Looking in retrospect I really think that he had the ambition of being president of Brazil. He built a connection with Brazilians that was really impressive. I was 12 when he passed away and now at 42 I still have a deep interest in his personality. I think he knew that what makes Brazil an eternal "development country" is not only corruption (which plays a big part), but a huge amount of incompetence of our ruling elite. Being rich extremely COMPETENT and popular as he was, he could have won a election very, very easily.

27:50 Ayrton talking about growing his own food without chemicals is a big part with what is going on in the world today with health, Ayrton wasn't stupid and did not want to eat what comes from mainstream supermarkets etc.
Some transcend the worldly titles of this world. Senna was one of them. Love how he refers to we instead of I or Senna. No doubt he was here on a mission. Beautiful tribute.
Sometimes I have those moments when I still can’t believe he’s gone.
Im brazilian and i was 13 years old when he died. I remembered everything. The entire Brazil country died at that day.
I don’t think senna can be topped. If this guy wanted to be remembered Throughout time. He got his wish. Never forgotten. ❤️
what a shame he died. This man would have had such a big impact on his country: social justice, organic food production, education... this documentary is from late 80's early 90'S and whatever is talking about his now the standards. He doesn't have to be loud to literally catch our attention. So soft spoken. Brasil has lost his best ambassador.

I never knew Ayrton was such a good and generous man, he used his F1 wealth to live life in the best possible way and include everyone around him to share and enjoy everything too. I've never seen a media person like this film maker get so close to Senna, he captured a personality that I never knew existed to make a great documentary.
I worked in the sport when Senna was there, and he gave me the two greatest compliments I’ve ever received. To me he will always be the greatest of all time.

Definatly the most determined driver ever to climb into a race car. A great human being overall.
At first I was sad that this impressive, legendary, and likable man left no children to carry on some of his many positive traits. Then I realized that by inspiration anyone who wishes to can do that. That's what's so great about inspiring people - they teach us how to do the same, and they don't need to have children to do that. We become the children (especially when you consider that sometimes, actual children don't honor the legacy and carry on the great qualities of their parents!)
What a beautiful soul ❤ Rest in Peace, Ayrton
My life hero... Simple man simply best.
not only a hero, smart and well driven individual. senna is a man so much ahead of his time. epitome of well balance life.
One of the best humans to grace the planet and by far one if not the best driver of all time. RIP Ayrton

This man was way ahead of his time from agriculture to religious way of thinking 🙏rip ayrton senna
Once, in USA, I talked with a hobby shop manager. Senna when was in the country used to go there to check out the remote control aircraft. He told me that Senna was a nice and quiet gentleman.
What a very special film this is. So glad I came across it. Loved watching the karting race with accompanying music. Wonderful from beginning to end. I cannot believe it’s been almost 30 years since that terrible day. Still miss Ayrton immensely
What a noble man with noble life through physically, Mentally, and spiritually.
I measure my life pre 1994 and post 1994....his death really destroyed me,he was and always will be my inspiration and hero.
He seems like he was a genuinely nice, down-to-earth guy. I saw all the riches he had and thought "he deserved all of this". I guess for anyone who lived when he was Number One, his name will always mean Forma-1. (Also all that Marlboro everywhere😄It was a different time for sure!)

This documentary is a gift. To any true fan this is a wonderful insight into the life, the myth and the legend of Ayrton Senna. Thank you
This is some of the most illuminating footage of Ayrton I’ve ever seen, and shows he was just as great a man as he was a racing driver. And given what he achieved, that really is saying a lot about him. His humility and humanity really come across in this film. I don’t know why, but racing drivers of his era seem so much more authentic as people, and he towered above most of them. Thanks for sharing...
I think I've seen this interview at least 20 times...it never gets old. He was such a fascinating man, so mysterious, incredibly private, and never fake. I think if he seen the way the world is today he would be absolutely appalled, and incredibly saddened. Can't even imagine what he would think of how F1 is today. He wouldn't like it that's for sure. What an amazingly beautiful human being.
There's so much life in him: the thrill, the joy, the passion, the determination... He was so charismatic and burned so brightly! Phenomenal racer. To me he is the greatest of all time, incredibly special talent and the fact that he was always giving his all made you very invested. Rest in peace, Ayrton.
He was and He still the best.
He is and always will be The best racing driver ever.
Senna was amazing and inspiring

An amazing driver and, perhaps more importantly, a very special man.
This is the most amazing look behind the persona that people thought was just about the racing. He was so much more than that - intelligent, thoughtful, dedicated to those who work with him, driven and, surprisingly, quite wise. Makes it all the more heartbreaking that we lost him. Brings back that sad day I watched it happen, all over again :(
The best racing driver of all time. People like Senna are very lacking in the world.
He was such a Nice person , and the best f1 driver ever .
the world misses an angel, heaven couldn't go on without him i guess. what a fantastic human being, and what a total dedication to everything he held dear, putting God always first, walking with Him in true humility. the Lord puts these people on earth only for a short time, to teach us, make their surroundings a better place, and when their job here is finished, they may rest beside the most High.
Don't be sad he's gone. Just be glad he was here! #sennaforever
My first hero in sport was Alain Prost. I grew up watching the Senna-Prost rivalry. For me, Ayrton is the greatest in history in terms of talent, effort and focus. We miss him so much here in Brazil. I'm pretty sure he would win in 94 and in some other seasons...Hill almost won in 94, and he was a bad driver. RIP, Legend.
The F1 Legend will never be forgotten, never.
This footage is absolutely amazing! Seeing Senna in Brazil was incredible. The GO Cart and the agricultural part was so cool. He was one in a billion.
Heartbreaking when he talks about having “a long way to go”. Taken way too soon.
Best driver ever....Even greater Humanitarian...Another Legend lost too soon....
