Well guys, we’re about to hit a break in movie reviewing for now, as I will be reviewing Ford Vs. Ferrari tonight, and hopefully even a newer film starring Tom Hanks either tomorrow night, or sometime this weekend, sometime like that. So here we go again!
Plot: In the early 1960s, two an 𝙰𝚞𝚝𝚘 racer named Caroll Shelby (Matt Damon), and a mechanic and racer named Ken Miles (Christian Bale) take part in helping the Ford Motoe Company become the best of the best. Can they pull it off?
Okay, I have to admit that before I saw this film, I was not all that familiar with how car companies like Ford and Ferrari had a deep history with each other in terms of competition. Go figure, right? After seeing this movie, not only is it amazing to learn an aspect about the history of cars, but what was going on in the process as well. There are also some great takeaways from this specific movie as well. But more on that later! For now, Matt Damon and Christian Bale seemed to make a great time while acting in this film. As a matter of fact, you can most definitely that those two, along with everyone else, was having a really great time during the making of Ford Vs. Ferrari. In addition to all of this, people will probably like learning about cars more. So much so that the audience might want to forget that sequels like Cars 2 ever existed to begin with. Of course there is also the music. Let me tell you all, the music in this movie does a splendid job of staying true to the times that this movie took place in. As for the characters, each of them really seem to stand out in their own way. That includes those characters who may come off as villains, but may actually be more just insane psychopaths. Now, to talk about the lessons in Ford Vs. Ferrari. To begin, there’s the whole competition deal. Rather than different companies trying to be better than the other, why not work together, you know? I guess it just comes to show that there were plenty of selfish, and greedy people even during a time such as The 1960s, eh? Also, there’s the whole lesson about either making the right, or the wrong decisions. In this case, let’s just say that this movie will more than likely teach people to try and be more careful when it comes to making decisions that could lead to the best results, or some rather negative consequences. Truth be told, after seeing this movie, it wouldn’t be surprising if someone thought about certain instances like from the Book of Daniel for instance. One other thing that I shall mention is that Ford Vs. Ferrari didn’t seem to sugarcoat the difficulties, and hardships that took place during this time period.
And so concludes my review for Ford Vs. Ferrari. If you want to see a movie that’s based on a true story, and seems to be more serious, and accurate, then all the more reason to check it out! No doubt this is a must-see, especially if either you love cars with a passion, or just want to know the history of driving more.
Final Grade: A+
