Less than half the budget of Fast&Furious 8, more than twice as amazing
They antagonise Bandini but actually he was an undisputed gentleman too and driver who unfortunately passed away like the legend himself Ken Miles , Rip both of them.
I know Ken Miles was a beast behind the wheel, but the real heroes here were those engineers who found a way to change brakes that easily. That thing alone gave Ford an amazing edge against the rest of Drivers. That car with that driver was just unbeatable.
RIP Ken Miles (November 1, 1918 – August 17, 1966), aged 47 And RIP Lorenzo Bandini (December 21, 1935 – May 10, 1967), aged 31 You both will be remembered as legends.
Christian Bale's acting is so good that I forget I'm watching Christian Bale act
I know there’s a lot of antagonistic tension played off between Ferrari and Ford in this movie (that’s literally the title), but both the GT40 and 330 P3 were amazingly beautiful machines. Props to the engineers of both those vehicles.
I just love the contrast of the engine sounds. The Ferrari sounds very much like a sleek European sports car, while the Ford sounds like a classic American muscle car.
For me, Christian Bale is just a level of acting that is hard pressed to find a contemporary today. The point in time, when the Ferrari blew the engine, he so accurately portrayed the moment of dismay, adulation, confusion and total vindication of success, all rolled up which conveys the human emotion anyone would encounter. It wasn't a fist bump, or look how powerful I am moment, it was indeed the bringing to the surface the drastic mixture of emotions and the realization of events at that moment in time, to be experienced, by those two competitors. I find myself crying at that scene, in that moment, when Mr. Bale exudes all those emotions. Just in awe.
Imagine that, Ken Miles was a Sherman Tank driver during the Normandy invasion of WW2. To think to come back to the same soil to win Le Man, crazy full circle. RIP Sir
I have never been so invested in a movie The entire family cheered and clapped for every gain
1:57 I absolutely love how he comes into frame just staring at Bandini, makes me laugh every time, lol.
The first head to head is a race of skills, the second is a race of engineering. Ken Miles won both of them
Life lesson: Don't let the needle stay in the red for too long
The cinematography and score in this movie is absolutely incredible.
Poor Lorenzo was portrayed as a villain throughout the race, while in fact he did nothing wrong and was actually an amicable person IRL. Well, I guess Hollywood doesn't like Ferrari (see also "Rush") and I have zero hopes for this trend to change.
Absolutely love that the film’s score intensifies or slows down when shifting either up or down a gear, 1:09 is a really good example, as Ken goes up a gear you hear what sounds like another layer of drums kick in.
Too bad miles died 6 months later and bandini died a year after le man
I honestly really like Bandini here too. He’s portrayed as an antagonist because most movies need one. But he looks so cool in the beast ass Ferrari. Never been an Italian car guy but that’s a beautiful car right there
@2:36 the elation Ken feels when the Ferrari broke was well done. Any racer knows that feeling, on both sides of the coin. And to be on the winning side is simply amazing for that moment in time. Hard to explain but they got this right. All the weight has been lifted from you.
