Well, have finally been to see Ford v Ferrari. It is an OK film with some great footage of some beautiful cars. I I did not expect an accurate telling of the story (it is Hollywood after all), but for me there were far too many things just plain wrong.
Bale does a good job as Miles, Matt Damon not quite so convincing as Shelby. The cars are just great, even if the chronology for some is a bit loose. It’s a shame kudos was not given to many of the key players in the cars’ early development. Oh, and don’t blink or else you’ll miss the fleeting references to the Kiwis, McLaren, Amon, and Hulme (but I am biased here).
Is it worth a look? Yep, and it will certainly raise the profile of cars like the GT40, P3/4 Ferrari and maybe even the Porsche 906.
