250th movie marked

8.6 The first time I learned about racing cars, and the first time I learned about Le Mans. This movie also gave me some knowledge about racing cars. It is undeniable that the production level of the film is very high, the industrialization model of Hollywood is indeed strong, the real story is adapted, and the stench of business bureaucrats , a bland story. But it shoots so well.

Although I'm not very interested in racing.

But the film and this history and the characters really touched me

Matt Damon and Bell acted well, especially Bell. The image reduction degree is too high, and the character shaping is also good.

Photography and color grading look comfortable

The sense of age is also in place, and the sound effects and mixing are really cool. It can be so exciting to watch on the computer, and it is so cool in the cinema. The racing part in the second half was really cool.

Too much music sound effects

I thought Ken would follow his heart, wouldn't give in to Ford's hypocritical business, and go for it, and indeed he smashed his own record by running a lap, I didn't expect him to stop. Accept this offer. However, after getting the news of being tricked again, he still accepted it all. It wasn't a better racer than him that beat Ken, it was business operations and bureaucracy, a dark human nature and a corrupt system. The biggest enemies of racers and athletes are not their opponents, but those companies and people who go against the spirit of sports.

Growing up is not a compromise, growing up is acceptance

Ford v Ferrari quotes

  • [Henry Ford II enters the assembly plant]

    Henry Ford II: Shut it down, Mr. Beebe.

    [Beebe turns around and faces the head engineer]

    Leo Beebe: John.

    [head engineer nods and shuts down the assembly line]

    Henry Ford II: Hear that? That's the sound of the Ford Motor Company out of business.

    [Henry II walks around]

    Henry Ford II: IN 1899, my grandfather, Henry 'By God' Ford, was walking home from Edison Illumination after working a double shift. He was ruminating. That morning, he had himself an idea that changed the world. Sixty-five years, and 47 million automobiles later, what shall be his legacy? Getting it in the tail pipe from a Chevy Impala.

    [workers chuckle]

    Henry Ford II: Here's what I want you to do. Walk home.

    [workers go silent]

    Henry Ford II: While you're walking, I want you to ruminate. Man comes to my office with an idea, that man keeps his job. Rest of you, second-best losers... stay home. You don't belong at Ford.

  • [Miles works on his Shelby Cobra while an SCCA Official loads a fuel cell in the trunk and is unable to shut the trunk lid]

    Ken Miles: You all right?

    SCCA Official: Paragraph 15.4, section 2b of the SCCA standard dictates all AF cars must have minimum trunk space of 20 inches by 12 inches by six inches. Your trunk doesn't close. Ergo car fails standard.

    Ken Miles: Wait, wait, wait. What?

    SCCA Official: Ergo car is disqualified from said Class A competition.

    Ken Miles: Hold on a second. No, no, no. Look, look, look. Can I ask you a question, all right? When you were a little boy, did you think, 'When I grow up, I want to go to the fabled Willow Springs Raceway, and I want to enforce paragraph 15.4, section 2b of the SCCA regulations on luggage capacity'? Did you?

    SCCA Official: All right, that's it. I'm ruling you and your team disqualified from this race.

    [SCCA official places a sticker on the hood]
