Watch Christian Bale Burn Rubber in Ford v Ferrari Anatomy of a Scene

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

How do you go about recreating a 24-hour auto race for a movie? If youre the director James Mangold, meticulously. His latest film, Ford v Ferrari, takes place in the mid-1960s as the Ford Motor Company is trying to come up with a car that can beat out Ferrari in the Le Mans auto race. The American executives bring on the car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and the driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale) to aid in that task. This scene takes place at the beginning of the 1966 edition of the race as Miles is preparing. Narrating the sequence, Mangold said that he wanted to use the camera following Miles down a hallway and then out to the track as a technique to reveal the spectacle of the race, with overwhelming crowds and a heightened energy. The race starts the same way Le Mans used to actually begin, with the drivers standing across the track from their cars, then running over and leaping into the vehicles before pulling out. Mangold said the moment, captured in one shot, was a challenge to coordinate but was important to give a sense of authenticity to the scene. He said he shot as much of the action as possible with real cars and stunt drivers, using visual effects not as much for the racing moments, but more to populate the stands so the production wouldnt need 20, 000 extras each day.

Loved it. Fine film. A little too much Hollywood but.
Too bad Enzo was in reality back in Modena, he occasionally went to monza for practice but never attended actual races. Thats why Ferraris lead driver john surtees left Le Mans after a row with team manager Dragoni, to have it out with the old man(Enzo) back at the Ferrari factory.

Shelby is the force behind the GT40 creation. Miles was one if the most accomplished drivers of the time. Even did a few races in F1 in a Lotus. Give respect fir their effort and accomplishments please.

Ford v Ferrari is the best film Ive ever seen, and car guy or not, its a must see. The acting is phenomenal, the storytelling is amazing, and everything overall is just perfection!

I wasn't planning on seeing this, but the fact that the director of Logan is working with what is - by all accounts - another brilliant Christian Bale performance got me stoked.

I absolutely loved the movie and if I didn't have Taron Egerton and Leo as my favorites to win best actor, I would put Bale third. Adored his performance

Brilliant! And as he says you get more emotional when you see the film from the driver's point of view rather than the crowd. Well done James Mangold!

Ah. Ford GT40. the great American (actually British) Supercar. I can't believe Ford or America even takes credit for it. It's just Grand Theft Auto!

My favorite short part was when Henry Ford II took a ride with Shelby! I know it didn't really happen but it's a movie: -)
