FORD V FERRARI (2019) | FIRST TIME WATCHING | MOVIE REACTION

Carol Shelby said in many interviews that the single greatest regret of his life was asking Ken to agree to the staged finish for that race.

[@GermanDaniel]

I love how Enzo Ferrari takes his hat off to Miles to show him some respect. Gets me every time. That's what sport is about.

As nice of a moment as it is, it's entirely fictional. In reality Enzo was not at the race at all.

Good Hollywood, but Enzo wasn't at the 66' race. He was at the 65' race, if I had to guess he was not up for going with Surtees leaving but that's just a guess

[@gutz1981]

Yep, this is true. Ken was robbed by 8 meters. He would have been the only man to win the trifecta, Daytona, Sebring and Le Mans all in the one year. He not only lost the race, but he lost his rightful place in History. And yes, he did die with his son watching. Sometimes, life robs us and there is no justice.

[@someopinionateddirt6561]

But I would say life does sometimes comes back to even the books. Ken Miles has a movie dedicated to his story with countless millions more (outside of the racing sphere) knowing who he is. Him, his son, his wife and his story are now immortalised in film. I'd say that's some good compensation.

[@carsismyaddiction6919]

These are the rules of Le Mans, the winner is not the one who arrived first, but the one who drove the longest distance, and so yes Ford took the victory from Ken, but they discussed it in advance, before Ken got behind the wheel, and in reality he did not try to leave the other riders, and without hesitation was a team player.

[@andrewmoss3681]

Some Interesting facts about Ken Miles: He did his first race age 11 on a 350 cc Triumph bike. He first met Mollie when he was 15 after meeting her he turn to a friend and said "I'm going to marry that girl". He also built his first car at age 15, an Austin 7 and Mollie painted it British racing Green. He served in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers during WW2 reaching the rank of Staff Sergeant. He came ashore on D-day but also he was one of the first British soldiers to reach Bergen Belson concentration camp but never spoke about the experience. He really was incredibly sarcastic and had no tact which infuriated almost everyone except Carol Shelby who loved his straight talking manner.

It took a shop 2 whole days to change brake rotors and brake pads on your car? I can change all 4 sets in my garage in under 2 hours. If I have to change calipers it'll take about 5 hours mainly due to bleeding the brakes. Modern cars are designed to be easier to service and a good shop that does them often enough can knock out a complete rebuild of your brakes in just a couple hours.

[@drewjsnyder3]

The reason this hits so hard is twofold. Firstly it's a 100% true story. Ken & Carrol really did jibe like that. Ken really did die while testing after Le Mans. They took a few creative liberties however to keep the pacing. Ken Miles did not need to win the 24 Hours of Daytona in order to drive the GT40 at Le Mans. He already drove for Ford the previous year. Josh Lucas portrayed Leo Beebe brilliantly for how it was written. However most signs point to Miles & Beebe butting heads a few times but their hostilities were grossly exaggerated in this film. But it's kinda hard to drive a plot forward with no one to root against. Very few movies work without an antagonist. Second, and more importantly. Hollywood is creatively bankrupt and has been for some time. It's nothing but squeals, superheros and cash grab movies nowadays. Ford v Ferrari is one of the best character driven, character arcing and relationship building movies we've seen in decades. While based on historical events it does a pretty masterful job giving car people a "car movie" while simultaneously allowing anyone else who doesn't care about the car stuff to still come along for the ride and enjoy it as well.

[@izzonj]

Agree with this. My wife doesn't know or care a bit about car racing and we both enjoyed this. It's a solid story with engaging characters.

[@bbb462cid]

The real story behind the trunk lid is funnier. It was Shelby, slamming the trunk on the box, and asking "does it pass now?" And when he learned it did, he said, 'gimme that box, I have four more cars to do. '

Ferrari Racing's success was due to Enzo Ferrari's ability to spot talents. He started as a racing driver and even had moderate success, but he was smart enough to change course when he realized that he had the gift of spotting talents in every department that makes up a successful racing team, from drivers, car designers, crew etc. That also explains why he considered Ferrari Racing as his pet, or even his life; Ford's offer to run it was at odds with the very reason for Ferrari Racing's existence. In fact when he started Ferrari Cars for making and selling road-legal cars, he said it was a a cynical way to get money from those clueless fanboys for him to run Ferrari Racing.

[@Stormie33]

Nothing that can be done about it, he didn't win the race. You can't go back and change facts just because the circumstances surrounding it were unfortunate.

Ford beating Ferrari at LeMan's was unheard of & would set the racing world on its head. That's what Henry Ford II "The Deuce" wanted at any cost. Nascar is all about turning left at the highest speed possible (no disrespect to Nascar) . LeMan's is a 24 endurance race with one car and multiple drivers (theoretically). Le Man's is on roads that curve, have bends, rises and falls and have different demands of a driver than Nascar (which approaches speeds over 200 mph.)

My Dad is a HUGE Ford fan and this was the last movie we watched together at a cinema before he died. As a huge car guy they TRULY captured what it feels like to be behind the wheel of a car you love. "The perfect lap" is such a real thing and I hope on day to have the money to have my foot to the floor in my dream car going lap after lap chasing that. 4:13 is not a stupid question and the answer is "It depends". If we are talking F1, the car plays a HUGE role, you can be the best driver in the world but not even Schumacher could win if the car wasnt up to scratch. If you are talking stock car racing or class racing like in this movie, NASCAR, rally, etc then the driver is almost always the most important factor. Sure the car can help but the driver is what truly matters. 5:47 Heh it IS a good race driver name. 13:31 Ken Miles was a once in a lifetime sort of driver - he had something that cant be learned or taught and the automotive world lost a lot of knowledge the day he died. 25:55 It takes like an hour tops to change all the brake pads on every car I've owned in my driveway with basic tools.

24 hrs. War is also good.

[@Frightspear]

Even after seeing dozens of great reaction videos from you, you still surprise me. This is one of you most adorable reaction to date! Thank you so much, you're the best!

[@marcuszaja6589]

Thank you for this reaction and your emotions. My late dad was a car enthusiast and he would've loved this movie. I knew how the story would pan out and still as a grown I cried at the end. I think maybe even my dad would've shed a tear. Miss you dad

[@ilejovcevski79]

This movie is a cinematic masterpiece and such a feel good movie, right until the end.... And the music, OMG that soundtrack. All that combined with the acting and the directing make this one of my favorite movies of all time. Glad to see it got to you as well....

[@stevensheard4885]

I've seen this movie at least 5 times and although I found the ending sad I've never cried until watching your reaction. I LOVE your Channel.

[@markfreckmann2366]

Another great racing movie you might like. Rush. Based on a true story. Directed bye Ron Howard. With Chris Hemsworth, Daniel Bruhl and Olivia Wilde.

[@iatz626]

Ich hoffe wirklich das sie den Film irgendwann mal schaut!!! Freue mich jetzt schon drauf :-)

[@travisnoffsinger1703]

This was a beautiful, genuine, and heartfelt reaction to an absolutely amazing movie. Ford vs Ferrari is one of my all time favorites. RIP to the great Ken Miles and the brilliant Carroll Shelby. 🚗💨

[@odinthorson1830]

You are so genuine and full of heart. Your reactions are the best on KZbin.

That's what CAssie does. She makes us sob even when we don't expect to.

[@lethaldose2000]

It's so funny to hear your comments on racing when your know very little about it is quite endearing. Once again you've got me crying when I didn't expect to. You wicked mistress, how do you manage to do that every reaction video. YOU GOT ME GOOD, with the tears.

[@lessthanlaughing4373]

I’ve been binge watching your reactions all weekend. I went through the entire band of Brothers last night. Great channel you have here. You don’t babble like a lot of them do and your vulnerability and fear of everything is quite endearing. I’m not afraid of anything except spiders.

[@Marina_in_oz]

I agree with the babbling. CASSIE actually watches the movies.

[@catherinelw9365]

That's a pet peeve of mine: reactors talking incessantly, especially over dialogue, then they miss stuff. Cassie really pays attention.

[@lessthanlaughing4373]

What is worse is when they do a full screen of them selves when they are actually talking and then on top of that repeat themselves. “I like that I really like that that was great I thought that was great I really like that…”

[@thedoneeye]

"I’m not afraid of anything except spiders." That's too bad since you probably would've liked the Spider-Man' movies 😉

[@catherinelw9365]

[@richrobledo6561]

I love watching Cassie's reactions because she falls in love with the heroes of these movies so much so, that she's helplessly crushed when something bad happens to them. This movie is a prime example of how she couldn't even hold back the tears when Ken died. For minutes she tried to compose herself and she just couldn't do it. I love that about her and this is why I love her channel. She brings her heart and soul to her reactions and it makes it all the more enjoyable to watch. Love your heart Cassie, keep it up!!

[@jillfrancis5915]

Loved this movie too. Watched it for the first time with my dad. I cried at the end too. I also loved the part at the end of the race where Mr. Ferrari tips his hat to Ken in respect despite the other guy being celebrated as the winner. He knew who really won.

[@TetsuoVI]

OMG, you're just the cutest. You had me at "race-car-ing." Oh that was so good, as well as the the comment about Schwarb taking two days for your brakes, my sides hurt so much. As others have mentioned, "Rush" is another excellent race-car-ing movie. (see what I did there...) It may not make you as emotional at the end but the writing and acting is second to none, much like this movie. I know it seems cruel to end the movie as it did, but please think of it from Ken's perspective. He died doing something he loved and as twisted as it might seem, his family was there to see and appreciate that, through all that pain and loss. Similar as to what Shelby said earlier, there are very few people with the fortune, drive, and downright luck to die doing what they love and were born to do. We all could only be so lucky as Ken. Perhaps my favorite reaction of yours yet. Thanks for the wonderfully emotional ride.

[@matthewbookler4136]

I've been racing cars for 23 years. The basic belief is that racing is 80% driver, 20% car. However, at the highest professional levels, the drivers are all SO good, that in many cases the 20% associated with the car makes the difference. However, if you put somebody without racing experience in a superior car versus somebody with a lot of experience in a poor car..... the more experienced driver would win every time.

[@modelcitizen1977]

Truth. Even the slowest driver in Formula 1 is insanely good.

[@coltonpiper6156]

That’s interesting. I am not a racer and don’t follow the sport at all, but I would have thought that once you get to a high enough level all the cars have to be similar in ability. So then it would come down to the driver.

[@davidmcleod5133]

I used to do track days at Spring Mountain Raceway in Nevada with the local Porsche club, and it was fascinating to watch first timers to performance driving have their expectations and egos blown away by the reality of it. 911 Turbos, Corvettes, and in one memorable session a Gallardo being utterly humiliated by modified first-gen Miatas. One Mustang or Camaro might be holding everyone up going so slow, but somebody in an identical car would be setting he fastest lap times of the day. I drove a moderately modified Scion FR-S at the time, and was amazed at the cars I could keep up with or even pass, but there was a driver there who drove a less modified version of my car that was significantly faster than me.

[@matthewbookler4136]

@@davidmcleod5133 I race a Honda Civic with a K24 transplanted from an Acura TSX. When I run in the regular track days I can lap with the 911 GT3s, Corvette Z06s, etc. It's all about the skill level of the driver.

[@AddSerious]

everyone always misses the most important part of the whole movie, at 16:24 you see Shelby pick up an item to bash Mile's head, then he realized he picked up a metal can and puts it down to grab wonder bread

[@mattsnow9273]

You mean the part where Batman and Jason Bourne are wrestling in the grass like puppies?

[@lukemacdougall9372]

I laughed so hard at that part, my wife thought I was nuts. I knew that at the end of the little tussle they were gonna be ok.

[@ernestitoe]

Enzo Ferrari was called the Assassin because more drivers died driving for him than for any other team. He couldn't have cared less for safety. Many drivers turned him down when he offered them jobs, because the prestige of driving for Ferrari wasn't worth the risk. The risk was incredibly high as it was. During a racing season -- including all types of racing -- a driver was killed every day. The same year as this race, the Scottish driver Jackie Stewart crashed and was badly injured in a Formula 1 race, and there was no medical staff, no ambulance, no first responders on the scene. After that, he became the most vocal advocate for safety, and he prevailed. Within a few years, risk had decreased dramatically. The 1966 racing season was chronicled in the movie Grand Prix. It was fictionalized, but it included a lot of real race footage. Fantastic movie.

[@captassassin5680]

I love this movie. My dad was a mechanic during this time period. He passed away when I was 4yrs old and I don’t have many memories of him, and for some reason this movie is special to me. Thank you for covering this one!

[@NormanBoulder]

You will love "Rush" it's another fantastic historical racing movie based on a true story done very well

[@oliverhaake7552]

This movie got me as well. I am not a fan of racing, but watching this I can feel the passion someone has for it. And I also felt the loss when Ken died in the end. After I watched it for the first time I immediately checked the historic background and basically it is all real. So the grief of us viewers is real. Thanks for sharing, Cassie.

[@Ladco77]

Ken Miles is not only a good racecar name, it's his real name. This is a true story, dramatized but based on the real rivalry between Ford and Ferrari in the 1960's.

[@justk.d3706]

This is Hands down my favourite movie about doing what you love. Gets me every time.

[@JITKanno0]

This reaction was one of the best I've seen(I've seen a lot)) in every aspect. Nothing over the top, no unnecessary chatting, everything on spot, even tears- yours made me cry too)) This is a great movie and great reaction!)

[@Perfectly_Cromulent351]

“Rush” with Chris Hemsworth is another fantastic movie about auto racing and as much as I love this movie, Rush is even better.

[@doughbones]

Rush is honestly one of the best movies of the last decade.

[@SelfImprovement1111]

Agreed

[@salo7227]

Agreed. FvF is good, but Rush is GREAT.

[@BillyGreen66]

My favorite reaction yet! I really love how deep you get into all your movies and show your emotions right out on your sleeve! Youre the most sympathetic person I've ever seen. You come across as an amazing mother/wife! Keep up the GREAT work!!! 😍

[@Nloveru]

In Europe this film is titled Le Mans '66. In the US they changed it to Ford v Ferrari because most Americans don't have a clue what Le Mans is. So you are not alone in that. ;)

[@Britcarjunkie]

Pretty sad, isn't it?

[@donpietruk1517]

They used to. I remember when Indy Car racing and Formula racing was bigger than NASCAR, except in the South.

[@maxads1134]

I put off watching this movie when it was released. But I'm glad I finally did. Not many movies leave you thinking and feeling, even a bit empty inside after. This one definitely did for me.

[@mitchzurbrigg2403]

Another great racing movie is Secretariat with Diane Lane. and John Malkovich. The real owner has a small role as a fan at the most important race for triple crown at end. Great, character driven and inspiring movie.

[@rhaenyralikesyoutube6289]

Seabiscuit was a great horse racing movie too.

[@montaudon49]

Racing is such a beautiful sport its the perfect balance of brains, brawn, and guts. I HIGHLY recommend the moive "rush" which is more about the drivers and the Netflix series drive to survive (all though very exaggerated) still very good about the behind the scenes of formula 1

[@jinmiseru]

Dang, you made me cry again, Cassie. You're too powerful! Always a pleasure watching you react, but I gotta say this one is among my favorites you've done :)

[@patrickr2691]

Exceptionally well-done film all around- Christian Bale and Matt Damon at the absolute top of their game. Even with the insanely sad ending, it was entertaining as hell.

[@AlexandruCarjan]

This movie is basically a historical recreation of how it actually was in real life. Names and cars everything is hiostorically accurate

[@Stormie33]

For the most part, yes, but there were definitely some liberties taken for the sake of narrative. For example, Miles did not set the fastest time in qualifying or the fastest lap during the race, like the movie claims, those were both achieved by Dan Gurney in one of the Ford cars that didn't finish.

[@nikkispanish3752]

I think this is your best reaction yet. As a diehard gearhead this movie hit home to me. Keep up the reactions.

[@TwistedPhilly]

One of my most favorite movies. It sucks he died and it being real life makes it harder to deal with the way his son and Shelby witnessed him die. Heart breaking. Great reaction.

[@B_Sandman]

So sad seeing Ken Miles and Lorenzo Bandini at Le Mans in 1966 in this film. Those of us who are motorsports history buffs know that sadly, less than a year later, they both would be dead. The movie shows Ken's death while testing the J-car at Riverside Raceway in August of 1966. Unfortunately, just 9 months later, Bandini would be killed during the Monaco Grand Prix in May of 1967... RIP to two amazing drivers!

[@sagnhill]

"Do they have snacks" LOL. I love that. Im going to paint that on my race car.

[@P-M-869]

I remember when this actually occurred. At one point Enso Ferrari took his cars and went home.. The next year he came out with a new car and destroyed the ford at the Rolex 24 hours at Daytona. I was living in Daytona at that time.

[@Dash277]

This is definitely one of your best reactions to date.

[@duanevp]

I feel more watching a reaction like this than I do watching a movie on my own. Too many years competing to be emotionally detached like guys are too often expected to be. Watching someone so emotionally invested have a movie stick a knife in and maybe give it a twist helps keep me grounded, but it hurts just a bit more to watch a sweet person torn up, even just a little. As people in the comments say - never change ma'am.

[@patticriss2238]

I met Carroll Shelby when I was a kid. He and my dad had business associates in common. He was a big, loud personality. I believe he said every word they represented that he said to mr Ford.

[@suprchickn7745]

I'm glad to see how people watch these movies and see that race drivers are artists and virtuosos in a way. My profile image is of Dick Trickle who is known as the winningest stock car driver ever. He was the inspiration for Tom Cruise's character name in Days of Thunder, Cole Trickle. It is believed he won over 1000 races. I was also fortunate enough to meet him and shake his hand as a boy. Love your reactions and your heart, Cassie. Happy Thanksgiving!
