Ford v Ferrari (2019)
Spyro Rating: 7,5 /10 as "a true story"
Director: James Mangold
Stars: Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Caitriona Balfe, Jon Bernthal
I nearly skip this movie because usually when the title is stupid, then the movie is also stupid. However that statement does not apply here and in contrary it is a great movie that I would recommend everyone to watch. Also, some European distributors realized this issue of "bad title" on time and changed the release name to Le Mans '66. The brand name "Ford" not only has no right to be placed next to "Ferrari" but it also has no right to be placed in the title of their own movie.
Before watching this I had no idea of what happened in the real story. Not being a fan in sport racing cars, I neither knew who were Ken Miles (Christian Bale) and Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon), now I am glad I learned about both of them and their story.
This is not the story about the bad brand beating the good brand in its own game over 50 years ago, just the story of two remarkable people building their own definition of what is possible and what is not. I think it is safe to use the analogy that "Ford" minds in the 60s are in same level with the minds that could only pick a terrible title for some someone else's movie in the 21st century.
