Ford v Ferrari

An absolutely brilliant movie. Demonstrating the raw power of both Ford and Ferrari’s cars, the movie is an absolute must for any car enthusiast. Told through the massive talent of Matt Damon and Christian Bale, with an excellent supporting cast and beautifully scored soundtrack.

Probably the greatest racing movie of all time. I have to start with the production quality because oh my, is it perfect. The cars, outfits, locations, racetracks, and even the tools all look perfectly spot on. The cinematography and camerawork enhance and show off the design just as much as it needs to. The acting, casting, script, and information feel accurate enough and balanced enough for drama. My palms were sweating with adrenalin from the races, I almost accelerated into a heart attack when the score drove in. The cars weren't the only things fueled up. I was, with raw emotions.

very american. do with that what you will.

First off I got to say the acting in this movie is really really good, they had some great actors in the movie. The whole casts passed especially Christian Bale, his performance in this movie was just ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL, my guy genuinely does not miss. Matt Damon performance was also amazing too. Both of these guys really had an amazing dynamic together. You could just feel the relationship between them. Which this movie does a really good job of doing. Another dynamic that was really good was with the son. They had so wholesome scenes together; as the son was so interested in racing and his dad’s legacy in it. One scene they had together was definitely one of the best in the movie. Genuinely looked like a father and son having a connection, the dialogue between the two was perfect. Which brings me to my next point of why I love this movie, the dialogue. The dialogue in this movie feels so real and natural. They did an amazing good showing us that and also capturing the emotions thought the dialogue as well. Shi it made me want to care about racing. The storytelling was so good it felt I was there the whole time. Especially since this movie is based on true events with a little bit of non fiction elements. Which makes this movie even better because the added things just made these characters have more dramatic relationships. Especially with the relationship of Ken Miles and Carrol Shelby. The soundtrack was also amazing too, matched the vibe and setting especially a movie settled in the 1960s. Nonetheless this movie is awesome and it’s definitely the best racing movie I’ve ever seen, OF ALL TIME!!!

the writing and acting proves that it was made for general audiences, but not without a genuine love for racing and its history. wonderfully shot with tight scenes and a sprawling narrative. love that i got to see this with my mechanic dad; exhilarating
