It was over two hours long and was read twice. This type of film tells the story of a certain profession. I privately classify it as a "professional" film. For example, this film is about racing cars. As a layman, I just watch the excitement, the structure and speed of those cars. I don't understand it at all, just focus on the plot. Another example is "Free Solo" (Free Solo), which records the conquering road of free-hand rock climber Alex Honnold. I don't know what rock climbing is, but I think it's amazing. I'm afraid this kind of movie is just amazing to watch. There are a lot of racing scenes in this film, and I can't help but feel nervous when I watch it.

Of course, in addition to talking about racing cars, this movie can make me feel many other things, and these things support the movie and give the movie its soul. Watching "Freehand Rock Climbing", I only feel the power of the protagonist. As for Personality or other, you can't feel it. Maybe this is the difference between documentaries and movies. "The Apprentice" can only explain rock climbing, while the film requires emotional input. This film is rich in emotion, Miles' love with his wife, his father-son relationship with his son, his friendship with Shelby, as well as individualism and group honor, all run through it, and his love for racing is self-evident.

Ford executives asked Shelby to tell Miles that the last three Fords crossed the finish line together. Shelby asked Miles to make his own decision. Miles was leading the way. When the car followed, maybe he felt the loneliness of the strong, or he didn't want to be embarrassed by Shelby, or maybe he also thought of the group honor, these complex emotions were expressed through Miles' eyes, and finally he made a decision. deceleration options. What is infuriating is that this is nothing but a trap set by Ford executives, and the final champion is not him. Even though Ford won the race in the end, it ruined my good impression of Ford. Moreover, Ford has only won this time, and Ferrari won in the end.

Miles takes on a genius-like character in the film, and his love and skill for racing is enough to make him proud and enough to win races. But the reality is that, racing is never just a matter of the driver and the car, but the whole team. Miles' final deceleration can be seen as the performance of his choice of team, and also the performance of his choice to trust the team, but the team but betrayed him. In fact, from the very beginning, the team and Miles did not trust each other. The first time Miles was released, it broke his heart. And if it wasn't for Shelby's mediation, Miles would not be able to reach the final arena.

The collision and comparison of different languages, cultures, brands, leaders, and leadership styles in the film are also interesting. For example, Ferrari and Ford, who are also bigwigs in the automotive industry, look down on each other and make small calculations. The Ferrari boss has been watching the game, and the Ford boss is sitting in a helicopter for lunch, which reflects different leadership styles. The rest will not be repeated.

In short, this is a rich movie. On the whole, Che Wang is indeed very strong, but in reality, he has to suffer too much helplessness.

Ford v Ferrari quotes

  • Wayne - Customer: Hey, I called you three times, and you never answer the phone.

    Ken Miles: I answer the phone every time it rings.

    Wayne - Customer: No, sir, you do not.

    Ken Miles: Yes, I do.

    Wayne - Customer: No, you don't. A month ago, this car was fun. Now, it won't even start. And when it does, it's 'Boom, boom, boom!' When I pull out of the driveway, the dog has a heart attack.

    [Ken chuckles]

    Wayne - Customer: All I'm asking is for you to make it like it was.

    Ken Miles: Yeah, you've coked up the inlet valves and the plugs. Nothing wrong with the car, just the way it's being driven.

    Wayne - Customer: The way it's being driven?

    Ken Miles: Too much fuel, not enough spark. That's what's making her misfire.

    Wayne - Customer: You wanna run that by me in English?

    Ken Miles: All right, sir.

    [Miles walks out of the car he is servicing and grabs his tin cup]

    Ken Miles: So... that there, that is a sport car. You have to drive her like a sport car. If you drive her like a school teacher, she'll clog up. All right? Try changing up at 5,000 RPM, not two. Drive like you mean it. Hard and tight. She'll run clean.

    Wayne - Customer: Are you telling me I don't know how to drive my own car?

    Ken Miles: No. But if you ask me, this isn't your car. Your car's more a Plymouth or a Studebaker.

    Wayne - Customer: You and me have a problem, buddy?

    Ken Miles: I don't have a problem. I had an MG. Mine just ran fine.

    Wayne - Customer: Screw you, you limey prick! I want my money back.

    Ken Miles: Oh, behave. I'd give it to ya. But you haven't paid for last month's service yet.

    Wayne - Customer: This country, the customer's always right. You ever hear that?

    [Wayne enters his MG A]

    Ken Miles: Yeah, yeah. Utter nonsense. Now remember, I advanced the timing, so a smidge twitchy in first.

    [Wayne speeds off, struggling to control his MG A]

    Ken Miles: Get the revs up. Good lad. Revs up. Ta-ra.

  • Ken Miles: Well, you promised me the drive. Not the win.
