Review of Ford Vs. Ferrari Movie

[MDO]

My wife & I are motor sports/racing fans & went Friday to see Ford Vs. Ferrari .

We both thought it was an excellent movie & very entertaining. Matt Damon is very good & Christian Bale is amazing. I have liked his work in several movies.

It's amazing to me when they make movies from a different era (60's), how they get everything just right, as far as autos, equipment & cloths.

Doing some reading on the events from the movie, not everything was a perfect match, but it rarely is.

Still for auto fans, well worth it.

Wife and I went to see it at the Imax on Saturday night. We both thought it was a good movie. I especially liked the scene where the engineer was detailing what they did to lose 60 lbs off the motor. (aluminum heads, water pump) and how ken miles wanted the Holley carb changed from vacuum secondaries to mechanical. I also found it interesting that half the audience had to be under 30. Both lead actors did a good job and it was also neat to see some of the behind the scenes stuff that went on with the Ford racing program.
