[@traida111]

the movie showing this crash is rough, never expected to see such a dark accident remade like that. Horrible

[@averagepufferfish5612]

Just saw the Ferrari movie, was absolutely great.

[@jozkomrkvicka4146]

movie was slow trash

[@samstorey3177]

Me too I was traumatisingly good

[@lukamilic]

​@@jozkomrkvicka4146 It's about Enzo not just racing so it was in an understandable pace.

@@jozkomrkvicka4146 classic marvel enjoyer, not enough super heroes in it for you?

[@Skelet_Castro]

​@@jacksond3333The accident scenes are horrible, very poorly done. one second the car is on the ground the next it looks like it was launched by a catapult

[@porscheprat1]

Excellent.. And so much more than just a motor racing film The two leads were excellent ,especially Penelope Cruz. And they did not shy away from the carnage of de Portago's accident

[@fabianrocha9924]

"a man like Portago appears only once in a generation, and it would probably be more accurate to say only once in a lifetime. The fellow does everything fabulously well. Never mind the driving, the steeplechasing, the bobsledding, the athletic side of things, never mind being fluent in 4 languages. (...) He could be the best bridge player in the world if he cared to try, he could certainly be a great soldier, and I suspect he could be a fine writer" - Gregor Grant

The important question is, could he solve the Rubik's Cube?

[@deweymartin678]

Portage had a lover Linda Christian who he kissed before he drove off. He passanger nelson was in the car , while he was driving , a tire burst off and his car flew a lot before I finally crashed into 9 people.

[@theman37924]

You crashed 9 people 😢

[@KameKai]

why would you do that to those 9 people

[@fabianrocha9924]

"The death of “Fon”, one of my greatest friends, was a terrible shock for me and my wife. She was pregnant and had a serious problem, because she was very scared for me, she didn't want to see me continue racing, so I stopped with my career... for a couple of months. My son was born in October and I couldn't resist getting back into car racing." - Hermano "Nano" da Silva Ramos

Dang he's still alive, knock on wood.

[@AJ-qn6gd]

A motor race the likes of which the world will never see again 👍🏻🇬🇧

Here after Ferrari movie

[@beavesampsonite7513]

The kiss of death I guess.

Events represented in the film "Ferrari" by M.Mann (2023)

[@jazzman7320]

Yes sir. What a film. Has to be seen with an audience, not only incredibly emotional, absolutely hilarious, too. The gasps in this film were well earned.

[@loneokami6560]

Just finished watching it, that scene messed me up and i'm an avid horror movie enjoyer but the fact that it actually happend is terrifying

[@Skelet_Castro]

​@@loneokami6560The accident scenes are horrible, very poorly done. one second the car is on the ground the next it looks like it was launched by a catapult

[@myopiczeal]

@@Skelet_Castro Yeah, they could have showed what the trajectory would have looked like, and it would have been even scarier, because it wouldn't look so ridiculous. The thing popped up like it was launched on an air cannon. Oh, wait, that's because it was.

[@hongthainguyen5334]

@@myopiczealI remember people absolutely shitting on that koenigsegg crash in Need for Speed because it was an Agera pulled into a massive ramp to launch up, but that scene looked way closer to any NASCAR blowover than whatever this is. It had inertia, which this cgi did not

[@faltopfake]

Enzo's book brought me here. o/

[@SHTFDAN-q6x]

A horrific tragedy.

[@thepsychologist8159]

"... crashed into spectators on both sides of the road, nine people were killed" Come forward to 2024 and people still line the sides of the road at these events, thinking "nah, I'm safe, that car won't hit me". When will they learn?

[@shayp.cormac2380]

Now imagine that with WRC Group B, where the fans caused their only death by getting in the way of the cars

[@miawuwu2255]

Ah yes, who would've thought that rallying with a full fedge prototype sportscar was a great idea?

[@resistancearmada4525]

Dang, Reddit brought me here.

Seventy years after the horror of that day was witnessed, we witness the disturbing and diabolical delight it derives in this day. Is this memorial for the nameless innocents or promotion for the brand names? It is seedy to see the suggestive sludge of Hollyschtick slopped into the automated supply stream.
