Ford v Ferrari worked out pretty well for Ford, probably in new sales too. This is a try by Ferrari. |
@jaxe: No, they shouldn't've cast Italians, they should've cast Li'l Rel as Enzo, Cruz is OK as his wife for the obligatory Latin, they should've found a trans Asian to play his mistress - this is today's Hollywood, after all... |
Do people really give two Sh|tz about how a company was formed? Three, Three of these movies in the last few years. Probably more but I can recall three of these movies. |
Ford_v_Ferrari - Rush - McLaren are the 3 newest ones ... |
the three movies were all highly rated and none were about how Ferrari was formed :/ |
"How a company was formed", so the movies Bezos, Elon Musk: The Real Life Iron Man, another one on Musk announced by A24, The Social Network, Steve Jobs and many, many more. |
Blackberry was a good movie, as was Tetris then we had the one about Nike All movies about how a company was formed |
The plot makes no sense Founded in 1939 by Enzo Ferrari (1898-1988), the company built its first car in 1940 Hmm... |
Read the Early History section here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari, 2 paragraphs makes it simple and clear |
Didn't Ferrari start out as a tractor/agricultural equipment manufacturer? |
@Guest-2584 NO that was Lamborghini. |
I can't stand Adam Driver. As an Italian, I am offended they cast him as Enzo Ferrari and I am also offended they didn't cast an Italian actor for the role. I am also offended they cast Penelope Cruz as Laura Ferrari, she is Spanish not Italian. Plenty of Italian actresses around. Shailene Woodley as Lina Lardi, Enzo Ferrari's mistress is also wrong. Again, I am offended and again she should had been played by an Italian actress. Looking at the cast listing on IMDB, those 3 top characters are all miscast, only Jean Behra is correct. Then I see everyone else is played by an Italian actor and actress. Why they couldn't use 3 of them for the three top characters? One review on IMDB sums it up "This movie is as embarrassing as an Italian singer performing a song in English. In a word, "cringe". Let's hope that Adam Driver soon stops accepting parts of Italians, stereotyping them in a ridiculous way." |
I'm Italian as well and also agree with you Jaxe and as a supercar owner he should be shown as a super car builder. there are always going to be jealous people out there. Viva Italia. Italia is one of the best soccer teams out there as well. |
As a citizen of the world with at least some knowledge of history, I am offended they herald fascists in movies. Who's next, Porsche, Krupp? |
Just be happy they did not make Enzo a gay black strong trans-woman. |
At least a "gay black strong trans-woman" would have been a considerable upgrade over a member of the executive council of the Fascists of Milan. |
Dunno This is a movie about driving so Adam DRIVER seems like a good choice |
Adam Driver starred in '65' a pretty entertaining, if kind of mindless , watch Give the dude his due |
Yeah, it's called acting. Pretending to be someone you're not |
This movie is produced by Michael Mann. Ford vs Ferrari 2019 was also produced by Michael Mann and that one flopped. Did Michael thought hey we had a Ferrari movie that flopped, let's try again and make another? |
an imdb rating of 8.1 and rotten tomatoes of 92% is a flop? k then |
Have to disagree jaxe. Ford v Ferrari was a commercial success. It earned $225 million worldwide against a budget of $97 million. Both Bale and Damon gave excellent performances. Ford Corp hated the film which depicted HFII as a dolt and Beebe as a corporate nasty and gave Enzo the moral high ground at the end. |
Michael thought hey we had a Ferrari movie that made a nice profit, let's do that again. |
Yep, an an imdb rating of 8.1 and rotten tomatoes of 92% is not only a flop it is a HARD flop |
Ford v Ferrari also won TWO Oscars , not that amounts to a row of beans |
Inspector Montelbano was played by a Spaniard What gives |
Oh no Jaxe. They didn't cast Italian Actors because they wanted people to go see the movie, rather than it being an Art House hit in a few Italian cinemas. The movie been Pizzafaced |
