The film is based on a true story. The background is that after Ford's failed and insulted acquisition of Ferrari, Ford executives hope to build a sports car to beat Ferrari, the king of racing. The film focuses on the passion and friendship between race car designer Shelby (played by Matt Damon) and race car driver Ken Max (played by Christian Bale). Shelby, who was in danger, found Ken and wanted to win the game together. However, the process was tortuous. For the first time, because Ken was not favored by high-level officials, Shelby was forced to give up Ken to participate in the competition. The result can be imagined. The second time Ken resisted the pressure and made a promise to Ford II that he would let Ken participate in the Le Mans race after winning the Sebring race. Ken, who lived up to expectations, won the race and qualified. In the final climax of the Le Mans race, Ken let go of the water because the executives hoped that the Ford car would cross the finish line at the same time, causing Ken to lose the championship because of the different starting points. Ken was left with regrets two months later when his test car crashed. The film did not add many bridges to strengthen the dramatic conflict, and was basically based on facts. Through watching the movie, we felt the passion of the racing driver for racing, and also saw the surrender of the racing driver to life. , and also understand that professional things have to be done by professional people.

    Why is Ferrari still one of the best sports car brands? This has something to do with founder Enzo Ferrari's passion for racing. Although Ford won for a while, it is impossible to make it into the history of racing, because it is a car seller at its core. The paradox of the film is that it seems to be an inspirational film, but Ken Miles' "failure" scandal completes the ultimate irony of inspiration-Ford's epoch-making victory actually nailed Ford to the stigma of racing history. superior.

    Straight men's passionate racing movie, don't play imaginary, ka ka just do it. The last part of the tens of minutes of racing scene is really addictive, nervous and excited. The driver's pursuit of speed and excitement is in sharp contrast to Ford's high-level gentleness and conservativeness, which makes these peak-chase drivers surpass ordinary people and become greater. Christian Bale performed another outstanding performance. Not only did he lose weight again, his eyes changed. After seeing the prototype photos, it was quite restored. Matt Damon also completed the task very well, also very well. This film is really a feeling of passion and speed, and there are bursts of hi. I hope the mainland can also go to it, although it is a bit long.

    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: 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]

    [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: 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.
