This is actually not Ford vs Ferrari, this is Art vs Business. The movie portrays Ford as a "decent" and Ferrari as a "villain", but in fact there is no such thing as a heroic movie like decent villains. Business is business, it's all about money. For Kent and Shelby, speed is an art worth pushing forward with life, and this kind of passion and persistence is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the money jar. In the end, this is still the case.

In fact, I think "Logan", "The Battle of Yumatown" and this movie are three westerns with different backgrounds and different themes in different eras. Although the two other than Yuma Town did not look very western, the souls were interlinked, and they were uncompromising. The director estimated that he was going to spare his own money when he made this movie. In order to pay tribute to that era, he did not hesitate to use such a cast in 2019 to make an old school movie with 99% white males. It can hardly be more worthy of tribute. Finally, Christian Bale’s acting... Let me kneel down for a while...
