The Miracle Mile
An exciting and poetic short documentary exploring the four minute mile, the perfect race. Englishman Roger Bannister was the first to break it and now it is considered the standard for any competitive long distance runner to master.
The narrative energizes the visuals to a significant level. Adding to this is the ticking percussion in the background which is so apt to engage the viewer with the sense of urgency that the film is talking about.
I thought the message sounded a little hyperbolic, nevertheless it had me pumped for the duration of the short. And of course you can't miss the fact that credits roll at 4:00.
Very exciting and has you captured and into the race from the start...
