Dale (2007)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Paul Newman narrates this documentary about the life and career of Nascar legend Dale Earnhardt. I must admit that I'm not of fan of Nascar and I really don't see what all the hype is about but I watched this documentary because I've always been interested about Earnhardt plus I always love hearing Newman's voice. This documentary really changed my mind about the sport and it also made me understand why Earnhardt has become such a legend in the six years since his death. There are countless interviews with his family and friends as well as old interviews with Earnhardt himself. The best interviews come from the fans who explain why they loved the man so much and seeing Earnhardt on his farm working just days after winning millions of dollars perfectly captured why he was so loved. The documentary is edited together fairly sloppy but that's the only complaint from me.
