Ford Vs. Ferrari
 
Anyone see it yet?

Went and saw this last weekend. Really enjoyed it and learned some new things (though in usual hollywood fashion I am sure some were embellished).

To me it was a good story of a bygone era.

My favorite quote - "that's why your Henry Ford the second" :)

Of course, the pundits are blasting the movie as too white, too male and too straight.

But what I saw is a devastating picture of the lack of diversity that permeated the industry in the 1960s.
Quote:

During all 152 minutes of the film, men dominate the screen for 98% of the time. And when I say men, I mean white and straight
from there the review degrades into how horrible of a man Shelby was and now how many "inclusive" automotive manufacturers are etc.

For me, yea, I enjoyed the movie and could care less that some snowflake was triggered by it.

Saw it last week with the wife. We both loved it. Yes, some little nit-picks are in there but they were easy to overlook and enjoy the movie.

Cool, sounds like a movie for me! Thanks for this review! I have to support that! I order the popcorn....

Last time I was at the movies, was Nikki Lauda's "Rush" Formula 1 film.

As the National Post is a newspaper from my homeland, I was appalled and ashamed of that review...sorry I couldn't help myself in adding my 2 cents in the comment section underneath it. Other people took the reviewer to task over his narrow take on the film. Just dumb.
