"There's a point at 7000 RPM where everything fades. The machine becomes weightless. It disappears. All that's left, a body moving through space and time. At 7000 RPM, that's where you meet it. That's where it waits for you."
Incredible movie! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 I've always loved car racing & this film that tells about the events in the 3 years leading up to & the actual 1966 24 hours of Le Mans race that showcases the rivalry between Ford & Ferrari totally brings home the trophy. Well written, acted, directed, edited, etc. it's the whole damn package. What heart & soul Christian Bale pours into the role of sports car racing engineer & driver, Ken Miles, with Matt Damon as Carroll Shelby (automotive designer & race car driver) coming in with a very close second. Great supporting cast with Jon Bernthal as the famous Lee Iacocca, Josh Lucas as Leo Beebe, Ray McKinnon as Phil Remington, Caitriona Balfe as Mollie Miles, & Tracy Letts as Henry Ford II. Not once in its 2 & a half hour run time did I get bored.
The score by Marco Beltrami & Buck Sanders drove the movie just right & even has a track called "7000 RPM".
Well done & major kudos all around. I predict some Oscar noms for this..
