Default Ford v Ferrari (movie)

Didn’t see a thread on this... went to see it today. Loved it!

from portrayals of legendary Carol Shelby (played by Matt Damon) and his friend, british race car driver Ken Miles (played by Christian Bale) to portrayals of Henry Ford II, Lee Iococca, Enzo Ferrari, and others, it’s definitely a real nostalgic car and racing movie! It covers Ford’s decision to get into racing (vs Ferrari who had won several Le Mans in a row) and work to make the Ford GT competitive. Won’t include spoilers here.

anyway, if you haven’t seen it, I recommend it!

I saw 3/4 of it on opening day. We enjoyed it. I didn’t care for the racing scenes but the story and back story was fascinating. Interesting ending. I also did not see the final end happenings coming on the test track.

Christian Bale really morphs into his acting roles, great actor IMO.
