Two and a half hours passed in no time

Does it look good? When I came out of the cinema, I picked up my phone and checked the time, eh? Why is it so late? Is the phone broken? I checked the length of the film and found out that it was really long, two and a half hours, but I felt that it was only one and a half hours. nice!

There are exciting racing cars, wonderful performances by dull and Bell, and a feeling of deja vu: In the film, Ken and Shelby's opponents are not on the track, but in Ford. The title is Ford VS Ferrari, but the content is actually racing spirit VS bureaucracy. Office conspiracy, layman mentoring the insider, those who are competent are not as good as flattering... Ford second generation does not love racing at all, just for the sake of face and business, Leo constructs others for his own benefit, and repays personal grievances with his power... Maybe a bit of facial expression , But it can resonate with everyone who has experience in the workplace, and even think about it if their boss is Enzo Ferrari instead of Ford II.

The shady part must be artistically processed. But historical events are true. Ford’s rejection of Ferrari’s acquisition, Ford’s second-generation entry into the car after being ridiculed by Ferrari and taking the top three at Le Mans, Ford’s request for three cars to hit the line at the same time and make Ken lose the championship are all true. The legend made by Ken and Shelby is also true, and the legend is more than that.

Baidu took a look at Carroll Shelby. He has been bedridden for a long time since he was a child and he didn’t get better until he was 14 years old. Because of the outbreak of World War II, he didn’t go to college. After the Air Force retired, he became a race car driver and got good grades. Cooperated with Dodge, had a heart and kidney transplant at the age of 67, and participated in the last race after being selected into the Automotive Hall of Fame at the age of 69 and nearly broke the viper (Shelby’s "Greatest Supercar in American History" for Dodge). Lap record. Awesome.
