Good movie. Really long though. I think they could have developed the characters better. Movie was 2.5 hour long and I didn't realize Carroll Shelby was married. It inspired me to come home and tear into the Mustangs differential... Made a mess but got it fixed View Quote |

I understand why it was done this way or else the car would have been the star of the movie but it's nearly a McGuffin . The thing just magically appears out of nowhere with zero mention of what it actually was. I mean,I understand the sore spot of admitting that it really was just a Lola with a Ford motor but c'mon,nobody has a problem understand what a Shelby Cobra actually is.
The actual story is so good I don't understand the need to change history but that's Hollywood ??????? |

the most fascinating part of the movie was Ken Miles explaining to Carroll Shelby why the suits at Ford hate people like Miles and Shelby. I leaned over to my son, told him "that's Corporate America in a nutshell."

I haven’t seen it yet; I’m going tomorrow. But for my money, it’s going to be hard to beat Shelby’s line to HF2: “Well, sir, we’re lighter, we’re faster. And if that don’t work, we’re nastier.” Whew, my kinda guy. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I'd slightly rather have a Daytona Coupe replicar than a GT40 replicar -- unless it was an actual Ford GT from the 2000s. |

the trailer lied to you. Shelby does use that line, but not on The Deuce. Frankly, his speech to The Deuce is even better. Since you like GT40s, you're gonna like this movie.

The Coupe and the 4.2 E-Jag are tied for second place on my list of unobtainable automobiles. To tell the truth though, I’m more of a boat person. If I had the money to piss away on either of those two cars, I’d probably spend it on a restored Chris Craft runabout. And when it comes to antique go-fasters, classic hydroplanes are my true lust.

The XK-E is one of my most favorite cars, and not because of how it looked, although it is incredibly sexy. No, it was that 4.2. Good God, the sound. Audible ecstasy. He's also right.

You're welcome!" some older guy in the audience, who remembered what a character CS was, laughed out loud and said to his wife, "THAT was Carroll Shelby!" |

The movie reminded me of the amazing time I had in Colarado- the Shelby museum in Boulder is incredible. This brown car should look familiar for those who saw the movie. Not sure if the blue and white one in my photo is THE car or not. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/394919/20190518_121447_jpg-1164875.JPG View Quote |

It looks like a decent movie about an interesting story, but I still don't get how conservative/freedom loving folks are still supporting the movie industry. I guess "muh-entertainments" trumps values for most folks these days. Not surprising I guess.
It doesn't seem to have any overt SJW overtones but the $$$ still goes to the people/studios who constantly push that shit. If whatever percentage of the country that claims to be "conservative" stopped going to movies, the movie industry would either change or die (at which point not much of value would be lost), but until that happens, we're still going to get 99 lefty politically-driven shit movies trying to indoctrinate the sheeple for every decent film, like this appears to be. |

You can watch this for free on a couple different streaming services
The 24 Hour War In the early 1960s, Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari went to war on the battlefield of Le Mans. This epic battle saw drivers lose their lives, family dynasties nearly collapse and the development of a new race car that changed racing. |

I don’t pretend to be well educated or even well read but haven’t artists always been on that side? View Quote There's the anecdote about actors during the Roman Empire being afforded social status slightly above lepers, and partly for that reason. I'm not sure as to the historical accuracy of that, but it sounds reasonable. Movie actors are modern day fools, professional liars who perform for our pleasure and they are not to be taken seriously. When they are, nothing good ever comes of it because they are a bunch of loons (generally speaking). The fact that these idiots have attained their exalted status simply because they are attractive and can lie convincingly, does bother me. YMMV. They've gone from "leaning" towards anti-freedom/lefty ideals to "bludgeoning us over the head with them". If you want to pay for that, and to support that, well it is a free country. Just own the hypocrisy. |

It's the best movie I have seen in many years, and we see a lot of movies. I'm going to see it a second time, I liked it that much.

Saw the movie. Excellent movie.

Agreed. Voting with my wallet. It is important to teach Hollywood "Get Woke, Go Broke."
