Ford v Ferrari [DVD]

I finally decided to eek out some time to watch this movie (it's 2025!!) and from my perspective, growing up very close to a Ford Motor assembly plant in the working-class suburbs in Australia (now living in USA), this movie does a great job contrasting the honest, hard-working car enthusiasts who truly love "working on" cars, with the higher-ups who love cars and love money even more. I thought that the actors fit their parts very well. The executives look and act exactly like the executives that I've worked with in my career, and the petrol heads and motor vehicle business owners look and act exactly like the petrol heads and small business owners that I grew up with in my working-class neighborhood. Good storytelling, and I learnt things about the Shelby-Ford relationship that I had not known. Matt looks genuine in the role of Shelby - he convinced me. Bale was also convincing as Ken Miles. 5/5 for me.

For any collector of "auto movies" based on real events this is a "must have." Well acted and true to the story and events that led to one of the greatest "match ups" between auto icons Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari.

If you like cars this is a great one to watchand learn some history

SPOILERSI watched this somewhat underrated movie and got into it. when character Ken Miles was asked to slow down in the end of the race, I thought this movie must be "Hollywood", but I looked it up and it's true (or AI is also "Hollywood"). Never mind that. I don't know if it's factual but in this movie, I think that Carroll Shelby's character is a F* coward in the end. Yeah, maybe that scene when Carroll meets Ken's son, Peter, in the end was manufactured by "Hollywood" to portray some kind of drama queen something or other, but in real life [which also includes my opinion] he would have been labeled as a coward. Good grief, would it have taken that much effort to talk to Peter and give a little bit of who his father really was? Would have been that difficult to reach out to Ken's wonderful wife and explain what she already knows? No. Instead, in Hollywood fashion, Mr. Shelby guns his little shelby cobra around the corner nearly colliding with another vehicle...classic ending to accommodate what "should" have been done.That's just my two cents...

great movie

A damn good movie. Great acting.
