has done with “Ford v Ferrari” will wow you, balancing the burnt-rubber thrill of the sport with scenes in which the two men butt heads with their corporate overlords about how to get the job done. But that description also reveals what’s wrong with this movie, in which Ferrari doesn’t feature nearly enough, and the main conflict seems to be between the dynamic racing duo and the American moneybags who hired them.
Both companies, Ford and Ferrari, are hurting when the movie opens. The American brand is having trouble attracting young buyers. Enter the Mustang — a beautiful set of wheels that Miles doesn’t take seriously — and a bold plan to buy out the Italian sportscar manufacturer. But Enzo Ferrari doesn’t go for it, upsetting Henry Ford II with harsh words about how he does business .
The script makes it sound like those know-nothing Ford bureaucrats — led by petty VP Leo Beebe , who been given the reins of the racing program — were against sending the hot-tempered Miles to Le Mans, and maybe they were, but there’s a little too much creative license at play in the version of history the movie presents. Miles did go to Le Mans in 1965, where he lost to Ferrari, and it wasn’t until 1966 that the team started to win.
Still, there’s something missing from a glossy bigscreen rally that we get from the real thing, where the possibility that someone could crash and burn at any time supplies a kind of morbid tension to the sport.
Yup... more car action!!! 😎😉☺️
Exited to see Matt Damon in this!
