Hello
I'm bored and since on this trip I don't have the money to go partying, I have just read this thread and got entertained for free.
So here my two cent.
When I started my trip in North America, quite often people asked me if I knew Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman "they did the same thing you do and made a movie about it".
"Yes I know Ewan McGregor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Jedi Master, able to control the mind of the weak by using the Force."
All the anger that LWD, LWR triggers comes from confusion.
Nowadays, thanks to Reality-TV, many people can't distinguish betweeen reality and fiction.
Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman are starring in a documentary style movie that looks more like a "making of" version of this movie.
Did they ride the whole thing?
Yes, of course, that was their job, so did the drivers of the support crew.
But, are there any discussions in overlander forums if those drivers were heros or not?
I don't think so, that was their job in the production.
Was there a script, was there a mechanic, were some scenes "faked"?
Yes,Yes,and Yes.
IT WAS A BIG TV PRODUKTION.
I have to say I never watched it comletly, only parts on Youtube.
Is it good? Yes it's a well made expensiv TV production with an internatonal superstar and a guy I don't know.
Does it inspiere other Biker to go travelling? I hope so.
Are people allowed to by those BMWs and fit them with Touratech stuff? Of course, James Bond helped selling a lot of cars.
Shoulden't we discuss about the acting performance of the actors rather than how real it was?
Yes, after the star wars movie everybody discussed the performence of Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, only some retarded people discussed if the light-saber can cut through metall and if the Force really can control the mind of the weak.
So lets enjoy entertainmend for what it is and go out there riding the road where no man has gone before.
(which will be hard to find)
good night
