Ford v Ferrari

""Ford v Ferrari" is a movie that pits these two names against each other in a true story (albeit with its poetic liberties). Bitten by the insults of Enzo Ferrari, Henry Ford II determined that the car that could beat the famous Scuderia Ferrari in their own backyard: the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The cinematic version of this challenge is directed by James Mangold ("Logan", "Johnny & June"), who does a competent job creating tension and drama even for those who know the outcome of the story. The reconstruction of the 1960s, including sets, costumes and, of course, cars, is impeccable, as are the racing sequences - which do not bring that feeling of computer graphics, being one level above "Rush" in this sense. In the performances, we have a good Matt Damon in the skin of the also mythical Carroll Shelby, and an incredible (once again!) Christian Bale as the tempestuous and fast British driver Ken Miles. Racing fans may feel the lack of more screen time for other drivers who participated in all this, such as Chris Amon, Bruce McLaren and Dan Gurney, but the choice of the script makes sense for the construction of a human and engaging story. A story that will certainly impact everyone, whether they are fans or not of motor racing."
