In Theaters November 15

Cast: Matt Damon, Christian Bale, Jon Bernthal, Caitriona Balfe, Tracy Letts, Josh Lucas, Noah Jupe, Remo Girone, Ray McKinnon

Looking forward to this movie - saw the shorts last night - looks the goods with Matt Damon playing the legendary Carroll Shelby.

[Rodp]

Can't freakin' wait for this one.

Will be AWESOME

[anobserver]

Looks great!

Hmm, I don't know, the seppos aren't exactly known for their accurate grasp of History.

The fact they have chosen to headline Shelby, leads me to worry this will be another case of America winning the Battle of Britain.

I mean how accurate are they going to be?
Will they acknowledge the cars were actually Lolas, designed and built in Britain?
That the Americans themselves didn't even know how to drive a midengined car, much less build one?
That Shelby's involvement was limited to the typically American solution of fitting a big-block engine?
Are they going to show how in '68 after engine sizes were limited to 5 litres, the yanks spat the dummy and went home? Leaving it again to the British to race and win?

I am treating this movie as pure Hollywood entertainment and not as a factual historical documentary.

Only a few days remaining now.

I feel people forget the whole point of movies are to be entertained for the 1 hour 50 minutes they generally run for - it's an American movie about Americans getting one up on Italians, of course it's going to have the Hollywood embellishments.

I look forward to watching cars get built, cars being crashed and loud V8 screams on the big screen.

I finally watched this movie yesterday.

As a car nerd, there a few cringe worthy moments but the story is good and managed to entertain a couple of non-car people in the process.

When you think about, the way the Ford senior executives were portrayed isn't far removed from how the STILL are to this day.

[Wretched]

i saw it a few weeks back, was kind of meh. Great cars and all but the whole Hollywoodnes of it all was very cringey, like watching a typical 'merican film from 80's and 90's.
Christian Bale was magnificent as usual.

So if I kick you in the balls, you have to enjoy it, because I found it entertaining?

Movies can be entertaining for a number of reasons. Even a few Will Ferret movies can be entertaining by being absurd and nonsensically funny.

But as a general rule, movies that set out to insult my intelligence, I don't find entertaining.

I like America, I like Americans, and for the most part I enjoy American movies.
But I hate with a passion their predilection for re-writing history.

maybe have a couple of drinks before the movie starts, and don,t take it to seriously

ive even got a name for those super accurate type shows, i call them documovies, and aren,t very entertaining , personally i find the fast and the furious just to much BS. for me , i can,t stand them.

those chinese fighting movies are a bit amusing , with nijana's flying 20ft through the air, ha, ha omg.

Relax David Duke,

If you don't like em, then don't watch em.

Being a metalhead, i enjoyed 'lords of chaos' (if you know, you know), it was a interesting story based on true events. But, it wasn't a documentary...something that triggered the too serious types.

And thats similar to Ford v Ferrari.

Even though the there were a few diversions from fact, it was a thoroughly entertaining movie, i didn't head into it it expecting a documentary. If i want facts, I've got books.

Seems to be an issue with a few films, The Dirt, Bohemien Rhapsody etc etc.

Movies need to entertain, truncate a story into a set time with a clear beginning/middle/end plus have character development..

And how would you know this? The days of ford family members running the show with an iron fist are long gone. And i talk from experience.

Guys who think they are above everyone don’t last long these days.

Like U-571. They added a post production acknowledgement that the Royal Navy captured the Enigma machine in May 1941. Entertainment it was, factual it wasn't.
Unfortunately, hollywoo is full of back-patting, sjw historical re-writing retards.

[Crazy Dazz]

Right, so you'd all be happy with a ripping D-Day war movie, showing how the English single-handedly defeated Germany, AND liberated Eastern Europe, whilst all the USA did was supply Hershey bars...

A movie doesn't have to be a documentary.
But a movie that seeks to dramatise a story, that is a fundamental lie, just annoys me.
And the worst bit is that they could have made an interesting movie about the truth.
That Ford was so desperate for an ego boost, and to rub Enzo's face in it, that he was happy to slap the Ford Badge on anything.

They could even have told the story, of how Shelby's solution, of jamming a big-block into everything, Killed Ken Miles.
But no

I wonder what happens when Americans make a movie about the Civil War? Do both sides win?

It's a bloody movie!

And a good one whether it met exactly years or not
