I thought the story was fake because Hollywood, but it actually happened!

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2019)

What an amazing movie and stellar performance from Christian Bale. In fact the whole movie is not about LeMans or Ford, but about this wonderful character Ken Miles. After seeing the movie I guessed it was all exaggeration Ã la Hollywood, but after doing some digging I came to the conclusion it was all historically correct. He was really that brilliant test/racing driver and engineer, mainly responsible for the development of the GT40. Disliked by the Ford management because of his attitude and outspoken opinions and robbed from his LeMans victory by these same people. Besides the story, the racing is visually stunning and the CGI crashes make you duck in your seat. A masterpiece you should watch on the big screen. Only criticism is the stupid Fast and Furious like shifting and turbo noise when the engine is pushed towards 7000rpm. Why Hollywood, why?
