love and respect

Bankruptcy, being temporarily told not to race, brake failure, car explosion, mental or physical blows, can't stop Ken Miles from returning to the track. of eternal power. In real life, if a person really achieves something in a certain field, it must not be money, power, dignity or status that motivates him, but it must be from the bottom of his heart or even a little paranoid love. Love is the most beautiful thing in this world, it gives lasting, inexhaustible strength and satisfaction.

In addition to Miles' recalcitrance and undivided attention, what moved me most was their respect for their dreams and professionalism: first of all, Mollie Miles' respect and support for her husband's beloved career, from the beginning of the normal operation of the car dealership to the collapse of the car dealership, from the The silent consolation that Miles was not allowed to participate in the race to the good for you from Mollie when Miles and the other two drivers crossed the finish line, from the death of the car test drive before the race to the death of the car test drive after the race, If Miles' paranoia and love for racing is the most impressive part of this movie, then Mollie's respect and silent companionship throughout is the most tender impact on my soul from this movie. The second is Shelby's support for Miles' character and objective conditions, and the seemingly silent dialogue between him and Miles' son at the end of the film. Third, after Miles "lose" the race at the end of the Le Mans Rally, Ferrari in the audience nodded to Miles, the kind of mutual sympathy that originated from the strong and the paranoid who shared common love and pursuit.

In the end, those who shine are "rebels" with their own unique wisdom. Do you want to be yourself or do you want to be the majority?

A favorite line:

You have to be kind to the car. You feel the poor thing groaning underneath you. If you gonna push a piece of machinery to the limit, and expected it to hold together. You have to have some sense of where that limit is.
