Ford V Ferrari: Outside the car, it's a dream

By Jennie - 04 August 2021

At two and a half hours, the biopic is far from boring. It is a high-cost production in a racing movie, which truly restores the retro scene in the 1960s and depicts the pure pleasure of the racing sport itself. The mirror position in the driving process is very rich, and there is a sense of rhythm to switch the inside view, driver close-up and outside the vision, so it is

It is worth mentioning that the film uses the racing car to shoot a free, ethereal experience like flying. Carroll Shelby, played by Matt Damon, has a line: "When the engine goes over 7,000 RPM, everything slowly fades away. The car gradually lightens until it disappears, leaving it to travel through space and time." At this moment, I can truly understand the definition of the sense of existence and feel the weight of my own spirit. This is probably the indescribable charm of many extreme sports, which makes the watching experience of this film more profound than that of ordinary hot blooded sports films.

Sports films adapted from true stories can rarely throw away the inspirational and touching impression. The titles of Dangal/Wrestling Competition and Eddie the Eagle often contain some extremely positive and beautiful words. This film chooses to emphasize the madman through the interpretation of two powerful male gods. It perfectly presents the drivers' sportsmanship, perseverance and persistence, and what is more valuable is their calmness and ease in life.

Once again, It's amazing how Kristen Bell can take a difficult talent and play it so delicately and endearingly that it's like watching an entire series of Iron Man, only in the time it takes him to make one movie! The character has a three-dimensional personality and distinct spirit. On top of his relaxed attitude towards life, he also treats the people and things he loves with infinite enthusiasm, which makes the audience have to recognize and appreciate the racing legend Ken Miles. Judging from his performance, he is definitely qualified to win the Best Actor Oscar next year, but his role as an athlete is not a favorite. I hope he didn't lose 31 kilograms for the film. In terms of the plot, Matt Damon had more time on the screen and was a great actor, but the character wasn't that great. Most people will remember Kristen most, but Matt Damon did a great assist.

The film is presented in a way that is more nuanced than the character and values of the main character. There are many humorous scenes, such as the wife suddenly driving wildly to get The passenger seat Ken Miles to tell the truth. Two love with the brothers of the leading role in the grass into a group, the wife also moved a chair to watch the war, interesting at the same time also showed the tacit understanding of three people and good feelings.

To sum up the core spirit of Ford V Ferrari, a dream is never a fairy tale about a man who works hard. It's really about passion and compromise. There is no success or failure in the pursuit of dreams. The real hobby is to enjoy the process of hard work.
