    Ford vs Ferrari

    OK, up front, I know there are some Ford or Ferrari buffs out there that will nitpick the accuracy of the story. I did not go to get a history lesson. I went to be entertained and spend time with my 12yr old son watching a movie that wasn't all computer generated fantasy superhero exploits. We both loved it.
    A lot of the racing footage was reminiscent of the old "Grand Prix" movie. Not the sped up footage of "Days of Thunder" that ruined that films racing scenes. The Shelby cars tweaked his interest to the point of him asking legitimate questions about them throughout the film, and had him Google searching them as we drove home. Several years ago I took him for a ride in a replica Cobra, and halfway through the film he asked when we can do it again.
    Sorry for the ramble, but I think this was a great film. I hope it is supported well enough so studios will make more like it. And the human interest aspects were enlightening as well.
    OK, I'm done. Everyone have a happy Thanksgiving Holiday!

    We went and saw it the day before Thanksgiving. I agree and thought it was great. Even my 16 yo daughter enjoyed it. Definitely worth the watch.
