Ford Vs Ferrari (2019)I don't like war movies.
I don't like sports movies.
2019 did something strange to me...
I absolutely love
1917 and now, I also absolutely love
Ford Vs Ferrari!!!
You
CAN teach old dogs new tricks...
Originally, the intention was to get
Tom Cruise and
Brad Pitt to star in this.
This movie ended up with
Christian Bale and
Matt Damon, and my goodness, they are magnificent!!
Ferrari has a racing pedigree.
Ford has mass production, American know how and We can do anything if we put our minds to it pedigree...
In the 60s, Ferrari was on the verge of financial ruin and Ford wanted in, at the racing arena.
Ford offered to buy Ferrari, they pitch them an offer, which Ford thought Ferrari could not refuse.
Fiat caught wind of this, and gave Ferrari a better offer, and
Enzo Ferrari not only drop Ford's offer like a hot potato, he let Ford company know what he really thought about them and their owner (eg. Not flattering).
Henry Ford II took it personally and decided to hit back at where it will hurt Ferrari, by winning the
Le Mans racing...
Ford started a racing division and invited the only American Le Mans winner
Carroll Shelby (
Matt Damon) to be part of the racing car design team.
Carroll Shelby invited British driver
Ken Miles (
Christian Bale) to be in this team as well...
Will the mavericks survive the corporate culture of Ford Motors?
This movie grabbed me (in a good way) from the start to finished.
Oh
Noah Jupe is
Peter Miles (Ken's son) in this.
Jon Bernthal,
Caitriona Balfe and
Josh Lucas all brought their A game!!
So to sum up this movie, I will subject you to my singing,
I'm H-A-P-P-Y,
I'm H-A-P-P-Y,
I know I am,
I'm sure I am,
I'm H-A-P-P-Y!
I watched this on 4K, Picture and sound, pretty good.
That, is my Two Sen
indeed this is a nice movie... however my synopisis is a bit different from yours.. its more to me on a story how ford cheated to get the championship lol. first by changing the entire brake assembly then to disturb by removing stopwatch to create the chaos within the team of ferrari.. The movie explain how the american would play and how they play in the grey area.
