OTOH, the 'Hollywood treatment' broadens the appeal; my girlfriend,
who doesn't have a gearhead strand in her DNA enjoyed the movie
(which makes for a more pleasant after-movie experience). I also
liked that they made Enzo Ferarri look like a jackass which, from
all I've heard, he was. I'm sure most of us on this list would
prefer a technical documentary on exactly how the cars were
designed, built, tuned and driven but then you'd have an audience of
maybe a couple thousand people.<br>
<br>
ps. I thought the 'clunk' they Foleyed-in for gearchanges didn't
sound realistic, but I've never driven a GT40 so who knows.<br>

I too remember that in the film they seemed to be swapping out the
entire upright assembly.
<div class="">If you want to watch a good film about that era, see
“Shelby American” on Netflix.</div>
<div class="">I wasn’t at all impressed by “Ford VS Ferrari”…just
another Hollywood treatment full of ridiculous inaccuracies.</div>
<div class="">They’re still using that old 1950’s “B” movie
technique where two drivers are supposed to be approaching the
end of the Mulsanne straight at very high speed, and they have
time to glare at one another!</div>
<div class="">And apparently all you have to do to overtake is
gear down and press the accelerator.</div>
