A barnburner of a motion picture that mainlines heart-in-mouth excitement and tug-at-the-heart emotion, “Ford v Ferrari” is made the way Hollywood used to make them, a glorious throwback that combines a smart modern sensibility with the best of traditional storytelling.
The story is based on a real-life quest that united a trio of unlikely, often antagonistic allies — corporate titan Henry Ford II, former driver and legendary car designer Carroll Shelby and expert but irascible racer Ken Miles — in what seemed an impossible quest: taking one of the world’s great driving titles, Le Mans’ Grand Prix of Endurance, away from an arrogant Ferrari racing team that held everyone else, but especially Ford, in withering contempt.
But the elation of Shelby’s triumph is short-lived, as the driver is told he has a heart condition that dooms his racing career. He reinvents himself as a car designer who, working with chief engineer Phil Remington , sells his Shelby Cobras out of a warehouse space in Venice.
Competition is awesome. Imagine how much better the schools and utilities would perform if they had competition too.
