Ford v Ferrari movie short review: no one achieved a grand slam

[Anna]

Ford v Ferrari is of very high quality, and the director almost perfectly reproduced the slightly original but adrenaline-like racing scenes on the track in the 1960s. In the Oscars of the year, with breathtaking screen scheduling, he won two awards for best film editing and best sound editing.

The two protagonists also performed well-known figures in the history of racing, Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles. Especially Ken Miles, this film let more viewers know this uncrowned king who is buried in racing history. The title of the film should be called Ford vs Ken Miles.

As a car fan, I am really happy to see such a high-quality racing feature film telling the audience the story of Ken Miles. Please go and watch the specific story. In a large amount of information, including Ken Miles’s friends, biographers and the media, they have unabashedly expressed their indignation and regret for Ken Miles’ experience at the time, as described in the movie: They robbed you.

Because if Ken Myers wins, he will be the first in history to win Daytona 24H, Sebring 12H and Le Mans 24H in the same year. Grand Slam driver of three famous endurance events. And he has played a pivotal contribution to the success of the entire GT40 project.

In fact, even though this contradiction has been rendered extremely intense in the movie, it is still not as embarrassing as it is in reality.

GT40 MKIV ​

In the movie Ford v Ferrari, car 1 driven by Ken Myers leads Bruce McLaren's car 2 by only 4 minutes, and car 1 only needs to slow down and let car 2 catch up. In reality, car No. 1 leads car No. 2 by 4 laps. This is impossible to lose on purpose. However, at the last moment of the race, car No. 1 installed the wrong brake assembly during a pit stop. Had to pit again to replace the assembly, the 4 lap lead was instantly vanished. Just more than two months later, Ken Miles died in an accident while testing the GT40 MKIV prototype J-Car. Until today, no one has achieved a grand slam.

Ford v Ferrari tells about the legendary PK of Ford's hard-bar race hegemon at the famous LeMans 24-hour endurance race. Ferrari has always been playing racing cars. Everyone knows that, but how did Ford and Ferrari get on? The last part of the tens of minutes of racing scene is really addictive, intensive and exciting.

Other competitive sports may have an age of innocence, but motorsport seems to be born to "sell more cars." But even in such a sport, we can still see passion and innocence blooming under the pressure of money.

At first I thought Ford v Ferrari was a duel between Ford and Ferrari. Later I realized that it was a confrontation between the driver and the bureaucracy. Bale performed his best and portrayed this pure driver very deeply.
