It will be screened in Germany on November 13, with classic Hollywood plots and real racing history re-enactments.

-Although the name is Ford vs. Ferrari, Ford/Ferrari/Shelby are all supporting roles, and the protagonist is actually Ken Miles. The protagonist is actually Jim Caviezel. Li Si of "Tracking"-a senior agent who specializes in killing and kicking is nearly middle-aged, panting and scrambled together regardless of class...

-Story background: Ford chose to start with racing and rejuvenated the brand in the post-war baby boom. Ford II wanted to acquire Ferrari, but was finally released by the Italians. I decided to give the Italians some color.

-The GT40 prototype came from Lola. The initial integration was unsuccessful. The problems focused on aerodynamics, cooling, Colotti gearboxes and Pirelli tires. The latter two were directly used from Ferrari, and the results did not match the high torque characteristics of the American engine. It ran in 1964. It's a mess, the original team is out, and Shelby takes over. The movie only confesses that the prototype car comes from the UK

-After Shelby took over, she basically redesigned the whole car and replaced it with a 7-liter nascar engine. Therefore, Ford and Ferrari are competing between two completely different design concepts: large displacement, low speed and high torque vs. small displacement. High speed and low torque. In the era when there was no sequential gearbox, the former reduced the number of shifts while also reducing the probability of making mistakes.

-By 1966, the patience of the second generation ancestor had reached its limit, and he ordered to win the championship: personally come to wave the flag, compete in a crowd of 13 cars (in the end only 3 cars, but the top 3), the cars are distributed to multiple teams Competing with each other, the second generation ancestor also told Shelby that he had made a brand and wrote "Ford won Le Mans in 1966"

-Ken Miles could have been the first and only person in history to win Sebring/Daytona/Le Mans at the same time. But Ford asked three cars to cross the line at the same time and was forced to slow down. ACO explained that the McLaren car set started late. , The longest total mileage to win the championship, but the photo shows that black #2 is already in front of #1 when crossing the line. The specific reasons are different. The plot arranges a villain

-Ken Miles was killed in a 200mph accident while testing the GT40 MKIV prototype. The movie conforms to historical facts. Maybe it is an option to make a happy ending like Quentin’s "Hollywood", but only Quentin dares to shoot like this.

-Ken Miles, the representative of the American spirit in the film, is actually British with a Birmingham accent. This is really MAGA...

-The symbol of the American spirit in the film. Ford's first Le Mans championship race car (GT40) was developed by the British (Lola), and the last Le Mans championship race car was also developed by the British (multimatic), which is also very MAGA... .

-Ford GT40 ended Ferrari's 6 consecutive championships with 4 consecutive Le Mans titles. To this day, Ferrari has never won a full Le Mans championship, and even the 333SP in the 90s that is booming at Le Mans seems to be cursed at Le Mans.

-Can this film be made by black Italians in Italy?

Ford v Ferrari quotes

  • Carroll Shelby: Bulldog.

    Ken Miles: Huh?

    Carroll Shelby: You know who that was I was just talking to?

    Ken Miles: Bill.

    Carroll Shelby: Before that.

    Ken Miles: No.

    Carroll Shelby: It was Dieter Voss.

    Ken Miles: Who's that?

    Carroll Shelby: He runs Porsche, Ken. It's a little German car company. Maybe you heard of it.

    Ken Miles: All right.

    Carroll Shelby: He wanted you to drive at Sebring. But he heard you were difficult.

    [Miles sighs]

    Ken Miles: I thought we felt the same way about, uh, Germans.

    [Ken turns around to work on his Cobra]

    Carroll Shelby: Do you like losing, Ken?

    Ken Miles: Excuse me?

    Carroll Shelby: Oh, you heard me.

    Ken Miles: I don't lose.

    Carroll Shelby: Without sponsors, you get no car, Ken. And last I checked, the professionals all have a car.

    Ken Miles: Shel!

    Carroll Shelby: You cannot win the SCCA without one. If you're not winning, you are losing.

    Ken Miles: Don't make me lamp this at your head.

    Carroll Shelby: Did you bring your son all the way out here to watch you get disqualified or just act like a jackass?

    [Miles throws his wrench at Shelby, breaking the windshield of his Cobra]

    Carroll Shelby: Well, that answers that.

  • [Miles and Peter enter the showroom to look at the new Ford Mustang]

    Peter Miles: Whoa. Dad, look at that. Hah. The Ford Mustang. What do you think?

    [Miles looks around the Mustang]

    Ken Miles: I think it's a secretary's car.

    Peter Miles: I like it.

    [Peter opens the passenger door and looks at the interior, alarming Beebe]

    Leo Beebe: Oh. Excu... Excuse me. Would you, would you not do that?

    Peter Miles: Oh. Sorry.

    [Peter closes the door as Miles looks at Beebe]

    Leo Beebe: Oh, er, is this, is this your son?

    Ken Miles: Yes, it is.

    Leo Beebe: Would you ask him to keep his hands off the paintwork?

    [Peter takes his hand off the roof]

    Ken Miles: No, no, no, Peter, You're okay.

    [looking at Beebe]

    Ken Miles: Who are you?

    Leo Beebe: Leo Beebe, Senior Executive Vice President, Ford Motor Company.

    Ken Miles: Ah.

    Leo Beebe: I'm responsible for the launch of the Mustang.

    Ken Miles: Ah! At least now we know who's responsible. Don't get me wrong, Lenny.

    Leo Beebe: Leo.

    Ken Miles: It looks fantastic. But inside, it's a lump of lard, dressed up to fool the public. My advice is, lose the inline-six and that idiotic three-speed, shorten the wheelbase, somehow lose half a ton, and lower the price.

    Peter Miles: Dad.

    Ken Miles: But even then, I'd still choose a Chevy Chevelle. And that's a fucking terrible car.
