Academy Award-winners Matt Damon and Christian Bale star in FORD v FERRARI, based on the remarkable true story of the visionary American car designer Carroll Shelby (Damon) and the fearless British-born driver Ken Miles (Bale), who together battled corporate interference, the laws of physics, and their own personal demons to build a revolutionary race car for Ford Motor Company and take on the dominating race cars of Enzo Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 1966.

Ford v Ferrari delivers all the polished auto action audiences will expect -- and balances it with enough gripping human drama to satisfy non-racing enthusiasts.

COMMUNITY & DISCUSSION
Let’s celebrate film and learn about filmmaking together.
As openers to discussion, tell us what you really enjoyed about the film. What did you find remarkable, and how did the filmmakers make it so?
Conversely, what might you have done differently if you had been the filmmaker? If something didn’t quite work for you, imagine if you're in the writers room, and pitch an idea for a different approach. If you had some issues with the movie, you should still appreciate that the filmmakers poured their lives into the project.
Let’s be specific in our answers, avoid nonconstructive absolutes, and welcome all ideas (especially if they differ from your own). You will get your chance to judge the film as a whole using the emailed ballot following the event.
