Why car buffs and race fans need to see ‘Ford v Ferrari’ (If they haven't already)
SPOILER ALERT: This review deals with a film about a topic that uses real spoilers!raked in nearly $31.5 million at the box office in its first weekend, No. 1 in the nation, and the fact that the film stars Matt Damon and Christian Bale and had a good storyline and buzz —It is still a movie about auto racing, a sub-genre of the sports-movie genre, and it is a bit of a surprise that it has done as well as it has. The serious auto racing movies don’t tend to offer a lot of variety in plots.
The movie will be available on pay-per-view soon enough, and commercial TV after that, but it is worth laying down the bucks right now to watch on the big screen. Really. With a lot of feedback from the colorful Miles , Shelby took on a racing project, practically from scratch, that was intended to make the Ford brand, an American brand known to that point as dull but reliable, as fast and durable as the sexy Italian Ferrari.
Moreover, the storyline dives into the financial side of auto racing — what compels people in white and blue collars to spend lots of money to design and keep working on a car that is the fastest in its field.
