- 4 Film Favorites: Steve McQueen (Bullitt, The Cincinnati Kid, The Getaway: Deluxe Edition, Papillon)4 FILM FAVORITES: STEVE MCQUEEN COLLECTIONDVD
Product Description
Steve McQueen truly is an American Icon. One of America's most endearing and intriguing movie stars, he "is still the King of Cool" according to Esquire Magazine - 50 years after the zenith of his career! The coolest thing about him, however, is barely known, despite countless biographies and articles. Steve McQueen was a believer in Jesus Christ. On the surface McQueen had everything he could want - fame, cars, homes, more money than he could spend in a lifetime. An avid fan of the actor (and owner of a replica of McQueen's car in the classic film Bullitt), Pastor Greg Laurie hits the road in his mint Mustang, travelling the country in search of the true, untold story of McQueen's redemption-filled final chapters. Narrated by Gary Sinise, interviews include: Barbara Minty McQueen, his widow Academy Award®-winning director Mel Gibson Renown stuntman Stan Barrett Celebrated McQueen biographer Marshall Terrill Actors Barbara Leigh and Mel Novak

Then when I found this documentary I had to watch it.
+ Very informative background on Steve growing up and how he not only got into movies but forged his way as an actor
+ Very sad many of his life choices and how empty it left this movie star.
+ About the 55-minute mark, out of an 80-minute movie, is when it turned more toward Steve's spiritual choices and what he found to finally fill the void he had been trying to fill with everything else in the world and having the means to try it all (money, fame, women, drugs, adrenaline rush, etc.)
OVERALL:
A very enjoyable and educational movie.
I think those with an open mind for the ending content and what Steve found to fill the gaps in his life, could be the answer to fill the viewer's gaps as well (if the viewer recognizes they have gaps that need filling OR if they are not too busy to stop and think about the deeper things in life, regardless of their biases created from whatever background/history they grew up with.
The movie also includes some rare audio tape of Steve McQueen made just before his death where he discusses his Christian faith. I think you'll find that Steve was a great actor and prortrayer of the human condition yet lacked the ability to communicate his thoughts as clearly when speaking. This left me with the impression of a man who was being honest and sincere when speaking of his faith. The film also discusses the people God put in his path and even interviews them as well as his wife.
This was a very well done film and provided a very thorough investigation of an American icon and his journey from lost soul to save soul. My only comment would be that we would love to see more about his time as a Christian and how that changed him. It is discussed but could be expanded.
