Speed Racer,A touch of nostalgia

Watched Speed Racer on the weekend and was it a class film.Keeping to its original 1960's Japanese anime style,the Wachowski brothers who brought us the Matrix trilogy created a fun and colourful world for Speed Racer.Almost the entire movie was filmed in front of a green screen giving us a wide range of CG effects and futuristic landscape's.Every single car in the movie is computer generated and the famous Mach 5 lives up to its animated counter part.

The storyline of the movie is absolutely amazing revolving around high octane racing with the politics and business dealings that go along with it.The cast included Emile Hirsh as Speed,Cristina Ricci,John Goodman,Susan Sarandon and many other famous actors.Every single actor managed to pull off their parts well and im keeping my fingers crossed for a sequel for sure.
