FORD V FERRARI (2019) | Behind the Scenes of Christian Bale & Matt Damon Movie

[@egnato1165]

There's something I've barely heard people talking about, and that's the fact that the movie makes an effort to make you understand how races work. This is no Fast and Furious bullshit, where drivers watch someone behind them and somehow drive faster. Ford v Ferrari explains you a few mechanics (For example: The brakes have a limit, or the fact that Ken's Ford can pass 7000 RPM when used properly...), and then shows you how those mechanics affect the race. From then on, you don't need no motivational speech, no "I can't lose this time!" bullshit, you just watch how the drivers struggle to find the right moment to push, or otherwise, they're gonna blow their chance. And all this is not achieved by constant exposition nor any kind of ex-machinas. Ken "wins" at the end because he's an expert on the matter, and treats cars like a living being. He always knows what the stakes are. It's as realistic as you can make a car competition movie. Also, absolutely stellar work from Christian Bale. Damon was great too, but the way Bale made me forget the fact that I was watching a movie... 10/10

Well lemme tell you I was with my mother in Nurburgring last August for the Historical Grand Prix. You had old F1 cars from the 60-80s, old GT cars from the 50s to the 80s. We were so close as we could be on the grass, behind the stands and on the closed part of the track. It was so amazing. The sound, the smell, the vibrations. Everything was perfect. When the races started it was like thunders were bursting in your ears and your chest. We couldn't even talk cause of the loud melody of the engines. But we both knew what we were thinking about. That it was one of the best time of our life. Also there were old Ford GT from the 60s and they look even better irl.

[@ivanvrkljan1056]

TheKenji2221 amazing, wish I could go to the Nürnberg ring sadly I don’t have the money to but I do have a few friends who own a couple of cool cars them selves I get to drive around every now and then.

[@TheKenji2221]

@@ivanvrkljan1056 Well I lived close to Strasbourg. Which means we only had to travel for roughly 2-3 hours to get there. With a diesel car (like a Renault Clio 3) it cost less than 40 bucks for the travel back and forth. The most expensive part was the tickets to access to the events ! If you ever go there, do it during a Grand Prix. It was really exciting. Otherwise you have some cool stuff to look around and the main attraction would be the Northern Loop. So yeah. Plan it well. Go there for a GP and have fun ;)

[@ivanvrkljan1056]

[@keepingupwiththehalsteads805]

the director of the film gave a great IndieWire interview about the film and Bale, one great quote: '' I felt the role was close to Bale and prayed he would do it. He’s a model to me of artistic perseverance and flexibility. He'll text you with thoughts and free associations about the character. It's all incredible food. He’s a wonderful father, loving husband, great friend. He’s not interested in being famous. He drives a pickup truck, he’s grounded in the world, he raced motorcycles but had to stop when he got hurt, when he had kids. There are so many parts of Ken in Christian, who’s a perfectionist. He’s trying to achieve something for himself. It's magical to direct someone like that because they draw you into their own idealism. You feel that energy; it permeates the set. ''

[@raguram9343]

Damn yes he is 💓💯

[@romcapprotti7477]

Christian Bale is one of the best actors out there. I know Aaron Sorkin had to be sick when he turn down the role of Steve Jobs. Michael Fassbender did a hell of a job but there’s just something about Christian Bale’s work that’s just a step above and they’ll never be a better Batman

[@BloodyArmourKnight]

Althought i know the actor who made the role was Bale... i didn't care about that, for this specifical time he was Ken Miles, and his performance was sublime, he has a lot of fucking charisma... i became obsessed by his acting since Harsh Times, that i've seen Ford V Ferrari like 12 times now. This performance is a masterpiece, i'm anxious for a new film with him on board.

Speaking of driving in the movie, few facts: 1. Mangold explained that Bale and Damon drove, but only a little, because Mangold himself forbade his actors to drive. He didn't want to take responsibility for any tragedy, since Christian already had few serious accidents, because he is actually natural driver - he raced on motorcycles, not cars, but on motorcycles. He has metal elements in his hand and had a fragment of his finger reattached, because of these accidents. He stopped racing because of his wife and two young children, he promised his wife& I respect him for this, he talked about it in this interview, it's on youtube - DP/30: Christian Bale on Out Of The Furnace . Mangold also talks about Bale's racing and his similarity to Miles, it's at 8:50 in this : FORD V FERRARI | James Mangold "Director" On-set Interview (also on youtube). So it's understandable. 2. Nowadays, with big budget movies like this, no producer or director would let actors to risk his health or life that way, if something had happened, legal hell and the loss of money for producers would have been enormous, plus the driving done in this movie is much much more faster and better than in McQueen movie, this is why they had so many professional drivers involved

[@TheDominationNetwork]

[@993mike]

Great movie, but as you watched Christian Bale being driven around the track on a flatbed for filming, you realize what studs Steve McQueen and James Garner were for doing their own driving in LeMans and Grand Prix back in the day.

[@jjmac3561]

Exactly what I was going to write. The speed of the cars in the behind the scenes shots for this one looks extremely slow. James Garner drove the car with a camera strapped to the front and sometimes the sides of his cars and drove at speeds far higher than Ford V Ferrari. I saw Motoring correspondent Andrew Frankel commenting about the scene where the Ford is supposed to be changing down just to pass another car while flat out on the Mulsanne Straight! I think that sums it up. I still look forward to watching it though. Time will tell if it comes close to Le Mans or Grand Prix.

[@djisch]

im actually amazed they had so much real cars

[@carrollshelby8690]

There were NO real Cobras or GT40s in the movie. They were replicas by Superformance. There were two replica Cobra Daytona Coupes. The mirror polished bare aluminum one in this preview is by Kirkham Motorsports and an exact replica of CSX2286, the original Daytona Coupe that fell off a car carrier at LeMans in 1964. It was stretched 3 inches and a 427 was stuffed in it. it never raced. The real car was never mirror polished bare aluminum. The other Daytona Coupe was a modern version designed by Pete Brock, the original designer of the Cobra Daytona Coupe. The shape is close to the original, but it it is a modern car. In the movie, this blue "Brock Coupe (CSX9000) appears in the Shelby American LAX factory. It is clear coated blue (no clear coat in 1965) and has big, modern 18" wheels. This car also appears on top of a car carrier outside the factory hangar doors. RCR (Race Car Replicas) provided replicas of the racing Ferraris (powered by Chevy V8s). There were some real Ferrari street and GT cars parked in the Ferrari factory in the movie. Early in the movie, Carroll drives away from his doctor's office in a fiberglass replica Porsche. The instant giveaway is a modern, flat black windshield wiper.

[@devonwilcox583]

@@carrollshelby8690 Right you are. That's the only thing that bothered me about this movie, seeing the new Daytona with those big 18 inch wheels with the low profile tires. The filmmakers seemed to be so careful otherwise, as most of the cars whether "extras" on the street or track had authentic tires (I noticed some modern radial treads on the Cobras, but at least they were on 15 inch rims!). Someone should have caught that and they should have at least put circa '66 wheels on that Daytona!
