I didn't cry, but I had goosebumps and that feeling as though I was about to cry. It was a very sad part of the 'film'.

I've not yet watched it, but I know I would get a massive lump in my throat and a tear in my eye, even the brief mention of it on Top Gear when they were filming at the circuit triggered that reaction! Not sure why!

I did, thing was I knew it was coming, but for some reason it still got me.. I cried for a solid 20 minutes.. And I never cry unless I lose a family member or close friend.. I had to sit alone in the room for several long minutes to collect my thoughts and calm down.. It was excellent. I can see why he was and still is adored by lots. Very very emotional, I cried like I knew the man. Great movie.

I watched it last night it just confirmed my attitude towards how senna was. When he crashed i was like was that it he slid into a wall I pictured a full on aerial crash. Sad non the less

I just finished watching the film i loved the fact when a journalist asked him about his best memory.
He said 1980 Go karting when theres no money or politics involved just real driving.

No, I didn't cry nor did I really even get emotional over it. It was a decent documentary and I have no doubt that Senna was an amazingly talented driver, but I just don't like him at all. I didn't like the way he raced and the documentary really confirmed my belief of that he was an overly aggressive and did not really seem to give other drivers regards at all, you know like punching Eddie Irvine in the face for gaining his lap back. He would do whatever he could to get the win, and wouldn't think twice about knocking other cars out of the race. Senna also seemed to lack any sort of personality. I just can't get behind a driver like that, he possessed no charm.
I will agree the documentary did show his human side more, but it still felt like he was a machine. It's how I felt about Michael Schumacher when he was racing, although Schumacher had a bit more personality. It's one of the biggest reasons I can't watch F1 today because of guys like this (there are other reasons too, like really stupid rule changes). They seem so wrapped up in themselves they forgot why they were racing in the first place, but I guess that happens to any professional who plays a game.
I loved F1 when I was a kid and remember seeing Senna race and reading about him in books I would get from the elementary school library. I was just too young to really see anything more then the racer and the racecar. As I got older I learned more and more about Senna and other drivers and it really made me grow to dislike Senna as a person, and like him more as a driver.
I have no question about his skill, he was good, damn good, and I think he really did have raw talent behind the wheel. I also never would have wished death on him. It was sad when he died, motorsports lost a lot of great talent that day, however watching it over again on the documentary I just couldn't feel emotional one way or the other. It didn't tug at my heartstrings like if Alain Prost would have been involved instead of Senna.
I really do hope this doesn't get flamed to hell, since it seems like when I talk about my opinion on Senna I'm somehow worse than Hitler (take that Godwin's Law!).

I welled up. I knew what was coming but I didn't want it to happen. I have a friend who said he cried when he saw it.

So True, Imagine Formula one with mechanically Identical cars, would be amazing.
Seems the drivers with the most valuable 'image' get the best cars.

Yes I did. 2 weeks after I saw him I had a project for Language Arts class. It was a multi genre project and I did it on Senna and while I was resurching more on him I started crying. I ended up getting a 98% on the project and my teacher was emotionaly touched. When I told her who it was she didn't seem to interested until she read it.

I saw it twice in the cinema's, it was actually the second time that made me well up though I didn't cry. I have it on Blu-ray and I'm still trying to get the gf to watch it. she hates Formula 1 but I think she will connect with the direction of this film being based around Senna the human, not Senna the racing driver.

Definitely felt like I was going to cry. Amazing movie, it made you know Senna as a human and not a race car driver. I keep thinking how he did get the ultimate gift he wanted, and that was to ensure that drivers wouldn't have to die to win a race. If he had walked off the seen of the crash, we wouldn't have the safety measures in place today. The part that nearly made me cry was when his body just relaxed, like he had gotten the peace. The whole movie was extremely emotional, but definitely up there as one of the best movies ever.
