Ford v Ferrari...it was the love story that stopped my heart!

Rating: 10/10 (13 January 2020)

Yes, I could mention the fanatical leave-nothing-to-chance, try-anything-first, do-anything, gear-headed, rugged doggedness, that only sheer will and deep intestinal fortitude that Christian Bale's Ken Miles displayed in his skill and commitment who gave audiences a lesson on how to handle his car to get it done. Or, I could discuss that character appropriation we can always expect from Phenom actor Matt Damon's portrayal of Carroll Shelby that he so graciously offered fans which ascended everything that was steered only by the great Jon Bernthal's Lee Iacocca interpretation as the boundless pit crew lead; they all literally appeared to actually be haunted by these portrayals throughout the story. This come-from-behind tale gave viewers a true appreciation of the infamous competitive history of two top-tiered car manufacturer icons Ford and Ferrari's chronological past... but to me, to me...the love story between Ken and Mollie Miles played by Christian Bale and Caitriona Balfe shined bright like a diamond amidst all of the steel, rubber and tire dust. The unspoken communication they shared, the connection that they had, the space they entrusted and gifted one another to express their individual emotions, ambitions and needs is what real love looks like. Great Job!
