Review Film: Ford V Ferrari

Beebe is indeed very sentiment towards Miles, which he judges is sloppy and difficult to regulate. So Beebe's sentiments on Miles seemed to blind his eyes that Miles was the most credited person in developing the racing car that Ford would use at the Le Mans 24 Hours. On one occasion, Miles had indeed insinuated Beebe at the launch of the Ford Mustang in 1964. 

According to Miles, The Mustang is a poor car in performance. Shelby himself couldn't do much about Beebe's decision. In the end, Miles was excluded and Ford failed miserably at Le Mans 24 Hours 1965. Henry Ford II, who was furious, then asked Shelby to take responsibility. Shelby later explained that even though it failed, the car that Ford developed was actually already faster than Ferrari. Shelby also convinced Ford that in fact, it could win if it used the right racer, who else if it wasn't Miles. 

After hearing Shelby's decision, Henry Ford II still gave credence. Shelby and Miles then returned shoulder to shoulder and worked hard to build a car to help Ford win the Le Mans 24 Hours. But in the end, Miles was again not recommended as a driver worthy of representing Ford, again because of Beebe. In fact, Miles has put all his efforts and efforts into developing Ford racing cars. In a test, Miles even had an accident and caught fire. Fortunately, the racing suit he wore saved his life.

Unlike before, this time Shelby put all efforts so that Miles was chosen to be a rider who represented Ford at Le Mans 24 Hours, including trying to convince directly to Henry Ford II in a rather extreme way. Henry then agrees. But on the condition, Miles was able to win first at Daytona 24 Hours. At Daytona 24 Hours, it was told how Beebe tried hard to tackle Miles. But in the end, Miles was able to win the race. As agreed, Miles has the right to represent Ford at Le Mans 24 Hours in 1966.

They designed a racing car and tried to make history even though many failures were encountered at the beginning. At Le Mans 1966, in the end, Miles was able to defeat the Ferrari racer in the middle of the race. But when he was on the verge of victory, Miles faced a problem which was indeed the main conflict in this film, namely Beebe's dislike of him. As a result of Beebeh's deception, Miles failed to win the victory that was already in sight. But Henry Ford II's intention, which was supported by the best team, was successful and made history for the US automotive industry. 

Ford won the Le Mans in 1966, 1967, 1968, and 1969. Although in 1966 Ford had not become an absolute champion, because of Beebe's act just before the finish persuaded Henry Ford II to celebrate the finish with the Ford racers. But the following year Ford defeated Ferarri and became the champion. 

Then Ken Miles tried his car again to check whether the GT40's brakes were still problematic or not. After the Le Mans race was over, at the Willow Spring circuit, Ken tried the car. He drove at high speed, then the brakes of the car could not be used because the brake caliper caught fire, Ken forced to turn and the car turned upside down. Ken suffered a broken bone and his life could not be saved. After the incident, Shelby heard the accident and then looked at the miles' family.

This initial story has confirmed that 'Ford v Ferrari' is not just a race. Or rather, not race on the track, but also elbow race in the business world. The real race is only presented at the middle and end of the film.

The process of taking pictures is based on the background in the United States and France. More precisely at the Ford plant, the airport training track, and the Le-Mans track. A touch of visual effects that are quite subtle managed to turn a studio into an airport, track and Ford factory that has a lot of space and diverse terrain for players. By taking a background around the 60s, displaying visuals with orange color effects, to support the classic feel. The impression of the past was also built from classical objects, such as old school radios, cars of the '60s, to reporters who reported the results of the race using a typewriter.

Mollie Miles also added the impression of the '60s to the style of clothing she used. Mini dresses that look casual with lively motifs, plus a ribbon attached to the head add sweetness to the classic style of Ken Miles's wife. Men also don't miss donating visuals of the '60s with suits that are combined with large sunglasses and hair smooth. Support was also provided when Iacocca was in Italy. The typical Italian clothing style and old-fashioned camera used for photographing add to the impression of a beautiful classic.

Certainly, with useful facilities to support their lives while under the sea. The game audio and scoring effects in this film are also arranged quite nicely. The roar of the engine, the RPM for the sake of the RPM that was launched were very evocative of adrenaline, even though I heard overlapping so that it ruined the tense moments during the conflict.
