    Ford vs. Ferrari (movie)

    I'm sure many of you have seen this one by now. I watched it again a few days ago and I also saw the attached feature that showed how the movie was made. I thought it was an excellent movie and I was very pleased to see that for the movie, they actually recorded a real GT40 and 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa for engine sounds, and used replica cars for the race scenes, rather than CGI. I also thought it was interesting that they went to Georgia to film for sections of the Le Mans track because they felt some roads there looked just like Le Mans in the 1960s. Pretty cool.

    I would like to see the movie. Although my sentiments are with the underfunded plucky underdogs in Italy

    One of the best movies I have seen in recent years. Documentary, almost. Great acting. Period correct scenery and cars. Well done, and fun for any car guy to watch.
    You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn.

    It's interesting that outside of North America, the film was called "Le Mans 66".

    Last movie I saw in the theatres. I don't go to see many. We enjoyed it, I'm not a super duper car buff, nor a super duper movie buff. But I felt the story was realistic and enjoyable, I felt that the driving and racing scenes were realistic and enjoyable, and that makes for a good movie in my opinion.

    I can't remember when I was in a theatre. I just watched it when it came on Amazon Prime Video. I'd rather be at home for movies these days.

    This scene is so awesome:

    Check out "The 24 Hour War" by Chassy Media if you want the full documentary experience of the same story. Interviews with insiders from Ford and Ferrari alike. It's a great show.

    Here's the trailer.

    Ford vs Ferrari was a good movie, and did justice to the racing community.

    However the opening scenes of LeMans starring Steve McQueen is superb dramatic filming.
    The tension and anxiety leading up to the countdown, and then Real Footage of the 24 Hour race.
    Close-up shots of the racing action with the sounds included.
