Movie #1793 "Ford v Ferrari" --- not usually my kind of movie (race cars going around and around and around), but I did find this film mostly very intriguing. I, of course, preferred the conversational scenes between Damon and Bale and that relationship. The wife was good, too, and the right hand man added quite a bit of drama, considering he was a very quiet man. What I didn't appreciate is the extensive racing around in circles --- I don't understand the strategy, and I am oftentimes overwhelmed by the action scenes and can't follow for any length of time --- but the acting is top notch and the story is very good --- just too much racing and a bit too long. I give it a 4 out of 5 and recommend it to any people who want to see a piece of history within the racing world.
P.S. Noah Jupe does an amazing acting job here! He plays the son and he enriches the film so much, at least to me! He's gonna be a big star some day (he was the best friend in "Wonder," too), I think!
