Default Re: Ford v Ferrari on TV tonight

Yeah, I've only seen the movie for the first time tonight after recording it last night.
I have read heaps about it and watched a few real doco's about it.

The movie was really about Miles (and shelby), and it's a good tribute to the real life guy, so I don't mind the fact they skipped the real development and just made it about Miles actually.
It's a worthwhile story to tell, that whole loosely based on real life story dramatization from what would be Miles perspective maybe - like what his family or what shelby and other associates imagined - and the whole ford vs ferrari on the track story line.

So if you think of it as loosely based on a true story, the dramatization of the unsung hero Ken Miles and his role in the success of the gt40... Good movie.
Movies go for subject matter, conflict, plot and character development to grab an audience. It did that well. For facts, read a book, artlice or watch a documentary - they're not made to pack cinemas LOL, but tell it like it really was.
