Leo really wasn't the bastard that he was portrayed as, but they needed to have a villain in the movie, so it was him. Carol Shelby was a terrific driver until he had to stop racing due to his heart condition. Later in life he had a heart transplant, but there was no way that he would be able to race competitively after that. Though he passed away in 2012, his cars are still incredibly valuable and collectible. And being a Texan, also he lives on with his "Caroll Shelby's Chili seasoning!" It really is very good!
Yes! The Carroll Shelby kit that came in a bag made chili that tasted essentially identical to what you get if you use the "proprietary chili powder blend" I mix up myself and keep in a giant jar in my kitchen. I hope it hasn't changed, now that it's sold in a box. (Tip: I don't eat most meat anymore, so I can't relive the experience, but the most delicious chili I think I ever simmered up was Shelby's bag mix made with Jimmy Dean sage sausage.)
Yeah if I'm not mistaken, I believe Leo's family tried to sue for defamation after seeing the way he was portrayed in the movie, and a lot of people that were involved in that project that are still alive said they did Leo so dirty.
Very true! I recently read "Go Like Hell" by A.J. Baime and they really buried Leo Beebe bad in this movie for the sake of the story. He was definitely one of the people who positively contributed to the success of the Ford GT40
You just have let folks know the Leo Beebe in the movie was a contrived villain. For example, everyone knew the line-abreast finish would have made Bruce McLaren the winner when they made the call-- it was not a surprise to Miles nor Shelby.
I don't like using the word villain in this case but 'antagonist.' This character did represented the Ford Corporate machine however, you have to bear in mind the Beebe's concern was Ford, not Ken Miles. In real life he saw Ken as a bit too daredevil and was concerned that the car would get damaged leading to brand damage. Ken knew precisely what he was doing but Beebe confessed that he had no clue on anything about racing, race engineering, strategy. So when those two worlds collided, there was bound to be friction between his department and Shelby's team, particularly with not understanding Ken's abilities (and probably even the power of the car itself.) There's more to it but remember Beebe wasn't necessarily in it for ego. He was a Ford man through and through.
I second that... Rush (2013) is definitely worth watching. A bit more in the "modern" Race-Days of Formula 1 (1976 mainly) and the rivalry of the main two characters, the Briton James Hunt and the Austrian Niki Lauda - played by Chris Hemsworth (Marvel's Thor) and Daniel Brühl (Marvel's Baron Helmut Zemo) and is directed by Ron Howard.

One of the best car racing movies. Other highly recommended movies about this topic are: "Rush" with Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl (2013), "Le Mans" with Steve McQueen (1971), and my personal favourite "Grand Prix" with James Garner and Yves Montand (1966)
Just remember, back in this era, a Formula One driver had one chance in three of living long enough to retire. It was great racing, but it was lethal if you got it wrong. And some would argue that that is why it was great racing. RIP all of the people why died chasing their passion.
My brother was a big F1 fan growing up as a kid, he said the F1 cars in the 50’s were extremely dangerous, the fan was close enough to the driver that their balls could be chopped off if something went wrong. It was in the 90’s after the deaths of Roland Ratzenberger and Ayrton Senna at the San Marino GP that they drastically improved the safety for drivers.
For TBR... I find that rewatching films frees me of the filmmaker's end and opens up the insides completely. And then seeing films like this on the big-screen - with an enthusiastic audience - is a whole other level.
Carol Shelby was a B-17 Bomber Pilot during WWII and Ken Miles was a Tank Commander, hence his feelings towards the Germans. And Ken was not left behind for that race, it just got added for drama. I wish they would do one on the Shelby Daytona project, that was a crazy ride as well.
14:17 In reply to Samantha's question "What are all those for?" They call them tufts, which are basically strips of yarn.

@@danholmesfilm I keep demanding my parents go to see certain films I loved, but they’re hesitant haha. I had this most recently with Oppenheimer which was a great film but they weren’t sure about seeing it.
@@danholmesfilm forgot to mention, the reason I saw this twice because, I loved the film obviously, but I had gone to see a rerelease of The Matrix as part of a “Keanu Reeves Film Festival” my local cinema was holding where they had a Keanu Bingo (ie: “Keanu says ‘Woah’”, “Naked Keanu”) where everyone won and got a free movie ticket so I used it to see Ford v Ferrari again since I loved it the first time round lol.
Thankyou for doing this movie! As a car enthusiast, it warms my heart to see ppl reacting to movies revolving around motorsport. Not enough of them on RUclips
18:01 - 19:05 This scene filmed in Highland Park, Ca ( Meridian Ave at N Ave 63rd, the little park they are fighting on the grass= Garvanza park). My sister lived in the house right next to the one where Mollie Miles is sitting on the porch, watching them roll around on the grass. Pretty cool to see that scene and know exactly where it was filmed.
Great movie! 😊 I remember laughing AT Ford Jr for screaming and crying ... then he said he wished his dad was alive to see it and I almost started crying with him 💔😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yeah, that actor absolutely nailed portraying a total overload of sensation. I'd have been interested in seeing Ford's reaction too - comparing the Model T to the GT40.
@@theaikidoka- Henry Ford II's father was Edsel Ford, Henry Sr.'s son. A lot less problematic than the old guy and died unfortunately relatively young.
"Tell him he's not Henry Ford.... he's Henry Ford the 2nd." is one of the most devastating insults I've ever seen in film lol and I can't even perfectly articulate why.
The finish of the 1966 24 hours of Le Mans happened exactly as in the movie. Leo Beebe later said he did it to punish Ken Miles. All the effects of the races, with their accidents are practical, without CGI. There are documentaries that demonstrate how they were made.
Another *wild* story about Ferrari is the Lamborghini rivalry. The year is 1963. Ferruccio Lamborghini, a successful tractor manufacturer, is unhappy with his Ferrari. He thinks the car's clutch breaks too easily. He drives to the neighbouring village of Maranello and knocks on the door of none other than Enzo Ferrari. The meeting, which was quite short, would change the fate of supercars forever. It would be a textbook example of how to not treat your customers. Mr. Lamborghini explained that the clutch was bad. He also made a suggestion on what Mr. Ferrari, with simple means, could do for the clutch to last much longer. Enzo Ferrari had a very hard time accepting constructive criticism. Instead of listening to the proposal, he rejects Ferruccio with the now-famous words: “Let me make cars. You stick to making tractors.” - Enzo Ferrari Ferruccio drove home. Furious. Instead of being well received for his ideas, he had been rejected in the worst possible way. The insult was painful. Really bad. He was also an engineer. His tractors were the best in Italy. On the way home, he made a fateful decision. He would also build sports cars. And - they would be faster and better than Enzo Ferrari's. Lamborghini, as we know it, was born.
My favourite racing movie is 1966's Grand Prix (James Garner, a young Jessica Walter, etc). It's a fictional drama, but has some great shots (of Monaco and Monza in particular) paired with a solid story. Took home three (technical) Oscars. And Carrol Shelby consulted on it.
The irony of the last race they show in the film is that none of the Ford cars are driven by Americans - you have Ken, a Brit and two New Zealanders: Chris Amon and Bruce McLaren, which I always found kind of interesting.
When they talk about getting out of the car when it’s on fire it always reminds me of the 1973 death of Roger Williamson. He got stuck in his car after it flipped and caught fire. His friend and fellow driver David Purley tried in vain to get him out. It was all caught on film and is heartbreaking to watch.
I'm sure you'd both really enjoy Rush, as a pretty hardcore car/racing person I'd say it's the best crossover between authenticity and enthusiast appeal with broad blockbuster biopic vibes, which it definitely had. Le Mans is an amazing slice of history and McQueen's gearhead passion project, not much plot or story but heavily influenced by artistic French cinema it's full of vibes and a worthy watch. 1966's *Grand Prix* with James Garner is even older and set the standard for real racing footage in movies, having filmed during the 1966 Monaco and Belgian Grand Prix among other places.
I love this movie. Cars are really the major thing me and my father bonded over, and this was the last film we went and saw together before he died. Makes it a very special movie to me.
The most disgusting team orders (like finishing side by side here) I've ever seen were Ferrari's orders to Rubens Barrichello in 2002, who'd only won one Grand Prix so far, but was leading the entire race, to let Michael Schumacher pass to take the win to secure the championship. Rubens was driving the race of his life, and they took it away from him. Schumacher did pull Barrichello on to the first place podium, but Ferrari got tons of hate for it. A few GP's later Ferrari tried to make up for it by allowing Barrichello the win when he and Schumacher were 1-2, but that must have felt like a hollow win.
33:05-33:56 That is the exact antithesis to real life. It's not a race... but it is. To capture every moment is a blessing; but we're not even guaranteed a lap. The amount of insight that you guys can break down into simple terms during this exchange just sums up the movie and feeling so justly. Love watching and supporting you. Feels like I'm watching again for the first time.
camera placement and choosing the right lens to compress space makes static objects go by faster and/or blurry. sometimes they also playback at lower framerates.
Such a thoughtful review of this film. As a car fanatic, I love this film. It was the first film that I watched after setting up a new tv with surround sound. It was mind blowing. Nice job!
One thing besides the script that I enjoyed from this film, are the many lens flares you see. Kind of an awe-inspiring moment of the character feels while going as fast as he did. Despite how fast it looks for us outside the vehicles, it's calming and somewhat tranquil to him.
I attended the 24 Hours @ Daytona (February) & 12 Hours of Sebring (March) that was the run-up to THAT Le Mans in June.....as a kid with my family. My dad was German & we were euro- style racing fans. Watched all these guys race, all these great cars. Wonderful time for racing. Ford threw $ at the "issue" and finally left. Legacy of Ferrari isn't for sale....or Porsche dominance that followed in an even bigger legacy. And Shelby was a great race-guy....Ken Miles was a fantastic driver.
For the 50th anniversary of that triumph, legendary team owner Chip Ganassi entered four Fords 66-69 for the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans for the GT Pro Class, which three of the four finished 1st, 3rd and 4th. Ironically, the 2nd place car in class was a Ferrari.
When my wife and I watched this, she picked up before I did on the actress playing Mollie, Ken's wife -- Caitríona Balfe, who plays Claire Fraser on Outlander. I thought early on that the supremely satisfying relationship between them might hold a bit of foreshadowing, but thankfully (for once) kept that prediction to myself! When Ken didn't make it, I expected my wife to react more strongly because of that relationship than she did, but she identified the actress to her TV character so much, it was like Ken's gone, but at least she still has Jamie.... 😂
If you like this movie i think you should give it a chance to "Rush" another racing movie about one the best rivalry in Formula 1 , a great film with Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl
You are guys are so great to watch. Isn't this such a great film? Ken and Carole's friendship is amazing to watch. Thanks for the good reaction, keep it up!
What an amazing story to watch with you both! This was a great telling of industry politics, passion and drive, along with the self-destructive flaws a person of otherwise fantastic talent can have, and the awesome people that worked their buts off to make a great racing machine and burn their way to first place! Great video!
'Nearly' true story. They were only antagonist with each other in the movie, Hollywood loves a duel, in reality they were quite good friends. Rivals but friends. Great film.
This movie is absolutely fantastic. And you should research the history the Lemans race. I did a dive into that rabbit hole after watching this movie and it's insane.
Nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Picture, but won for Best Film Editing and Best Sound Editing. It's from the director of COPLAND, IDENTITY, INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY, AND LOGAN.
Hey there Schmitts! I just want to say that I still love the content you continue to put out and that hopefully everything is going great with the baby! Also, you guys should definitely check out another Keanu Reeves flick called Chain Reaction. Never seen this until last night but I can tell you that you might have a fun time with this one! 🤓👍🏼👌🏼
Another great racing movie to add to the already brilliant suggestions below, Days of Thunder - Tom Cruise, Robert Duvall and Nicole Kidman. I can't believe it you haven't reacted to it already to be honest.
@@John_Locke_108 Well tbh, it kinda is...but that's not a bad thing 🙂 And also interesting to see the chemistry between Tom and Nicole as they got married after this movie...
To see Sam's reaction to the overvheated brakes and car explosion really hit home the danger of the racing lifestyle and pushing it to the limits. -------- I think Sam felt like Ken's son in that moment where she realised that there is a dark side to all the fun of going at 200 mph on a asphalt road. Any moment can be your last going 200 mph. Some of the luster of racing came off for Sam. -----But she's still in it to win it. Let's go get Ferrai.
If you enjoy F1, there are two great movies that should be on your radar: Grand Prix (1966) about a fictionalized version of the 1966 F1 season shot in the real locations with some amazing cinematography, and Rush (2013) about the rivalry of James Hunt and Niki Lauda.
Shelby always makes me think of Gone in 60 Seconds. Not a particularly good movie but the way they showed reverence to Shelby was great. The 1967 Shelby GT500 from that movie is still around and last time it changed owners it was worth $2 million.
You guys should come to the Shelby American Collection museum here in Colorado if you are ever in the area. They have the actual Miles GT40 from history and so much more. I'm so grateful I get to see them often. I loved this movie so much. It was so emotional even though I knew what was coming.
To be clear about Henry Ford's (2nd) speech which is slightly lost in the cut is that he is stopping the assembly line, but he SPEAKS to the management. He SPEAKS to the Suits and deliberately want the workers to SEE him threaten to fire the entire management team.
I really love your black background movie theater atmosphere a lot of other reaction reviewer’s could learn a lot you can’t really get a felling of the movies especially suspense and horror without a dark theater background atmosphere thank you very much for that.
Some more background info: The Ferrari win in 1965 depicted here was the last time Ferrari won the 24h of Le Mans overall...until this year! They got beaten by Ford from '66 -'69, by Porsche in '70 and '71 (Watch "Le Mans" with Steve McQueen!) and French company Matra in '72 and '73 and pulled out of the top sportscar category after that. They went on to compete for lower-class victories (and got a couple of those) over the years (including a renewed duel with Ford when they entered the GT class from 2016-2019, Ford won in 2016, Ferrari in 2019). Ferrari re-entered the top class for sportscars (now called Hypercars) along with a massive influx of other manufacturers this year and won Le Mans outright on their first attempt for 50 years back in June, finally breaking Toyota's 5-year winning streak.
I agree! I really like the pace of the film!it must have been crap to film Indy 5 movie, studio interference after some plot leaks! I havent seen Phoebe Waller Bridges actress, but I really really liked Killing Eve series she apparently wrote on!
@@johnbernhardtsen3008 It honestly wasn't that bad, miles ahead of Crystal Skull. A huge overinflated budget (estimated around 450 million including advertising) meant that It had to smash the box office for weeks to even break even.
The only comparable movie was "Le Mans" starring the incomparable Steve McQueen. It had virtually no exposition but it was riveting from beginning to end. I had the great good fortune to see it in a theatre when it was released.
As a a huge car guy and racing fan and have been my whole life (im 18), this movie is my all time favorite if not in my top 5 all time movies. The category if racing in this movie is Endurance racing, I am a fan of most if not all disciplines of motorsport and Endurance racing is my favorite because it truly tests the drivers skills, fitness and strength but also if the car can withstand the constant running, banging, and non stop action. it truly is a test of endurance. Also to add a few things, there were quite a few inaccuracies in the movie on of which being when Ken slowed down at Le Mans, He did in fact slow down but he clearly came across the line in second, there was no technicality, Bruce McLaren won the 1966 24 hours of Le Mans. But without a doubt every motorsport fan believes that Ken Miles should have won that race.
I had watched the documentary before the movie came out and when I heard about the movie, I thought, I bet you Christian Bale will play Ken Miles, and sure enough, that's what happened. I was almost hoping that they would end the movie with the race and say that he died only in the text before the end credits but they had to pull on the old heartstrings.
Leo Beebe was done an injustice with this movie. Henry II trusted him to oversee things,, and was named the head of Ford Racing. The first two races he ever saw in person: The NASCAR race in mid-1964, where Fireball Roberts was burned alive in a Ford stock car. Two weeks later, he saw two men die in a fiery lap 2 crash (see the RUclips videos). Both were driving Ford powered Indy cars. The finish.......the rules stated that the winner is the car that travels the farthest in 24 hours. McClaren didn't qualify as well as Miles, and started farther down the grid. Remember.. no in-car radios in those days. Ford actually asked the race officials about finishing together like they did, was told it was no problem, so that was the direction the drivers were given at the last driver change. After the change, the race officials told them about the "longest distance". The decision was made to leave the decision "as-is", rather than call them in and explain the rule (all kinds of bad things could have happened) Miles' death was even worse than the movie showed. Happened at Riverside, near the pits. The kid ran to the crash site, and saw his dad's body, which was thrown from the car when it disintegrated. Read "Go Like Hell" for the real true story. Ken's story is the classic "underdog" story. He slogged in the Socal racing for 15 years, never having the money or sponsorship to have first class equipment, then got his chance with Shelby and his Cobras, then the GT40s. Given decent cars, he was a world-class driver.
At the beginning, When Carroll Shelby tells Ken Miles the guy who runs Porsche was interested in hiring him. he says he doesn't like Germans. Miles was a tank commander in the European theater of World War II. I don't know why they made Leo Beebe the nemesis. He didn't have anything against Ken Miles and in fact felt bad when the rule-makers at Le Mans screwed Miles out of the win. The photo-finish was Henry Ford's idea, not Beebe's. The scene in which Miles almost gets killed testing the car at night wasn't unusual in the 1960s. Racing was extremely dangerous. The odds of surviving a race were no better than 50-50. It was all about speed and handling -- there was no thought for the driver's safety. Enzo Ferrari was the worst -- he was called the Assassin because of his disdain for safety. More drivers were killed driving for him than for anyone else. In 1966, the Scottish driver Jackie Stewart crashed during a race and the means of rescuing him and getting him to a hospital were entirely improvised, and badly. If he had been hurt worse than he was, he would have died before anything could be done for him. He became the most vocal advocate for driver safety, and he prevailed. I was 15 when the Le Mans race depicted here was run. I remember the outcome very well. I remember how the Ferrari that Lorenzo Bandini was driving blew its engine. Ferrari's engines were small and super highly-tuned. Ford's engine was a muscle-car power plant that was equally great for drag racing. Ferrari never won Le Mans again. Carroll Shelby lived to be 89.
20:14 That's why especially at that time, racing was (one of) the most dangerous professions. Either racing, practicing, or testing; one little fuck up, and you are dead. 26:50 Actually at that time, there wasn't any radios like we have today. So the drivers are blind. Again adding in the dangers of racing.
Hi Daniel & Samantha!🙂This is a very interesting and good true story!😉You don't need to know anything about car racing to enjoy this one. We all know Christian Bale is an excellent actor, but Matt Damon gives some very impressive line delivery here. When I think of car racing films "Days of Thunder" (1990) with Tom Cruise comes to mind. Also, the Will Ferrell comedy "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" (2006). Samantha was right about the foreshadowing about getting out of the car. Great reactions to this well made and well acted film, Daniel & Samantha!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Christian Bale said he enjoyed making this movie in part because he could just speak as he does in real life and not make up accents like he usually does 😂
I absolutely love the Ford crying scene. A grown man (who has been shown to be a bit of a hardass) getting overwhelmed with emotions and genuinely missing his father, it's really well done and realistic.
i remember when jeremy clarkson got his GT40...fresh on the tarmac,..got in and...didnt start...had to send it back...quality was Ford's prestige back then...not any more now
Yes multiple minutes in the lead during Le Mans (24hr race) isn't a huge deal. Ken was the best just like Shelby so you put them both together and their unbeatable ✌️🙂
I can say from experience one of the worst feelings in the world is when you step on the brake pedal in a racecar and nothing happens. Every time I see that scene my heart skips a beat.... it's scary
Le Mans is still being raced every year. One of the things they changed was the start of the race, they no longer run to the cars and start that way as way too many accidents happened with that. These days they do a so called rolling start, where the drivers are inside the car and driving towards the start line, with the race starting as soon as they cross the start line. This is much safer since all the cars are at least able to start (which can be a problem with the standing start used in F1) and have enough speed and distance to each other that crashes should be less likely on the start.
I'm not a Ford guy, GM. But I loved this movie. Beebe was just a pencil pusher. He went to head up Philco a Ford subsidiary. They made radios, phonographs and televisions.
Shelby should have known about the rule that robbed Ken Miles of the victory. He was no stranger to Le Mans having won there in 1959. The rule is whoever travels the farthest distance in 24 hours wins the race. This is no obscure technicality, it is simply the most fundamental concept in 24 hour endurance racing. I think that he threw Ken under the bus to keep in Ford's good graces.

There's more to it but remember Beebe wasn't necessarily in it for ego. He was a Ford man through and through.

Even better than this one.
yes, i need a rush reaction too please!
@@broncobalboa And put a rush on it.
Idk why no body takes rush suggestion seriously!
My dad remembers driving by that airport back then and hearing the roar of the GT40 being tested.
Seeing this in the theatres was an experience with the sound of the cars!
Great chemistry as well between Christian Bale and Matt Damon!
This and Gravity are the only films in recent memory that I demanded my parents go to a theater to see (they never go to the movies) lol
@@danholmesfilm I keep demanding my parents go to see certain films I loved, but they’re hesitant haha.
I had this most recently with Oppenheimer which was a great film but they weren’t sure about seeing it.
@@danholmesfilm forgot to mention, the reason I saw this twice because, I loved the film obviously, but I had gone to see a rerelease of The Matrix as part of a “Keanu Reeves Film Festival” my local cinema was holding where they had a Keanu Bingo (ie: “Keanu says ‘Woah’”, “Naked Keanu”) where everyone won and got a free movie ticket so I used it to see Ford v Ferrari again since I loved it the first time round lol.
I'm very much not a car guy or even a racing guy, but this movie just works so well for me.
It was the same for almost my whole family. Neither of them is much of a car person, but they enjoyed this movie when I've showed it to them.
Josh Lucas is such a good actor. He can play likable and scumbag so well.
i think he plays scumbag better. 🙂
He played the same character in the first Incredible Hulk.
I dont think i ever see Josh ever play a nice guy.

Thankyou for doing this movie! As a car enthusiast, it warms my heart to see ppl reacting to movies revolving around motorsport. Not enough of them on RUclips
18:01 - 19:05 This scene filmed in Highland Park, Ca ( Meridian Ave at N Ave 63rd, the little park they are fighting on the grass= Garvanza park). My sister lived in the house right next to the one where Mollie Miles is sitting on the porch, watching them roll around on the grass. Pretty cool to see that scene and know exactly where it was filmed.
Great movie! 😊
I remember laughing AT Ford Jr for screaming and crying ... then he said he wished his dad was alive to see it and I almost started crying with him 💔😭😭😭😭😭😭
Yeah, that actor absolutely nailed portraying a total overload of sensation. I'd have been interested in seeing Ford's reaction too - comparing the Model T to the GT40.
@@theaikidoka- Henry Ford II's father was Edsel Ford, Henry Sr.'s son. A lot less problematic than the old guy and died unfortunately relatively young.
"Tell him he's not Henry Ford.... he's Henry Ford the 2nd." is one of the most devastating insults I've ever seen in film lol and I can't even perfectly articulate why.
The finish of the 1966 24 hours of Le Mans happened exactly as in the movie. Leo Beebe later said he did it to punish Ken Miles. All the effects of the races, with their accidents are practical, without CGI. There are documentaries that demonstrate how they were made.
Another *wild* story about Ferrari is the Lamborghini rivalry.
The year is 1963. Ferruccio Lamborghini, a successful tractor manufacturer, is unhappy with his Ferrari. He thinks the car's clutch breaks too easily. He drives to the neighbouring village of Maranello and knocks on the door of none other than Enzo Ferrari.
The meeting, which was quite short, would change the fate of supercars forever. It would be a textbook example of how to not treat your customers. Mr. Lamborghini explained that the clutch was bad. He also made a suggestion on what Mr. Ferrari, with simple means, could do for the clutch to last much longer. Enzo Ferrari had a very hard time accepting constructive criticism. Instead of listening to the proposal, he rejects Ferruccio with the now-famous words:
“Let me make cars. You stick to making tractors.” - Enzo Ferrari
Ferruccio drove home. Furious. Instead of being well received for his ideas, he had been rejected in the worst possible way. The insult was painful. Really bad. He was also an engineer. His tractors were the best in Italy.
On the way home, he made a fateful decision. He would also build sports cars. And - they would be faster and better than Enzo Ferrari's. Lamborghini, as we know it, was born.
Didn't know that actually. Thanks for this trivia
This should be a movie.
One of my favorite racing films. MATT DAMON!!!
My favourite racing movie is 1966's Grand Prix (James Garner, a young Jessica Walter, etc). It's a fictional drama, but has some great shots (of Monaco and Monza in particular) paired with a solid story. Took home three (technical) Oscars.
And Carrol Shelby consulted on it.
Rush with Hemsworth is underrated… also, love the dynamic between you two, watched the whole Sopranos series. Congrats on the newborn!
As a designer that works in a corporate setting, Leo exists as a constant in marketing departments 😂
The irony of the last race they show in the film is that none of the Ford cars are driven by Americans - you have Ken, a Brit and two New Zealanders: Chris Amon and Bruce McLaren, which I always found kind of interesting.
Miles was partnered with Denny Hulme, another kiwi.
When they talk about getting out of the car when it’s on fire it always reminds me of the 1973 death of Roger Williamson. He got stuck in his car after it flipped and caught fire. His friend and fellow driver David Purley tried in vain to get him out. It was all caught on film and is heartbreaking to watch.
I'm sure you'd both really enjoy Rush, as a pretty hardcore car/racing person I'd say it's the best crossover between authenticity and enthusiast appeal with broad blockbuster biopic vibes, which it definitely had. Le Mans is an amazing slice of history and McQueen's gearhead passion project, not much plot or story but heavily influenced by artistic French cinema it's full of vibes and a worthy watch. 1966's *Grand Prix* with James Garner is even older and set the standard for real racing footage in movies, having filmed during the 1966 Monaco and Belgian Grand Prix among other places.
I love this movie. Cars are really the major thing me and my father bonded over, and this was the last film we went and saw together before he died. Makes it a very special movie to me.
Their friendly fight at 18:25 is hilarious. I love that scene
The quick swap from the can to the pack of bread because, in the end, they still are friends.
This is what a fight between Jason Bourne and Batman looks like...
As soon as Sam says Christian Bale and Matt Damon, I knew Daniel would go there. 🤣🤣🤣
One of the best bio pics nominated for best picture Oscar !
One of the better movies from the last several years.
My vote for Rush 2013 as next car movie
The most disgusting team orders (like finishing side by side here) I've ever seen were Ferrari's orders to Rubens Barrichello in 2002, who'd only won one Grand Prix so far, but was leading the entire race, to let Michael Schumacher pass to take the win to secure the championship.
Rubens was driving the race of his life, and they took it away from him. Schumacher did pull Barrichello on to the first place podium, but Ferrari got tons of hate for it. A few GP's later Ferrari tried to make up for it by allowing Barrichello the win when he and Schumacher were 1-2, but that must have felt like a hollow win.
It's the BUSINESS of racing...as you know...
As fans, the paradox of emotion vs dollars SUCKS.
33:05-33:56
That is the exact antithesis to real life.
It's not a race... but it is. To capture every moment is a blessing; but we're not even guaranteed a lap.
The amount of insight that you guys can break down into simple terms during this exchange just sums up the movie and feeling so justly. Love watching and supporting you. Feels like I'm watching again for the first time.
camera placement and choosing the right lens to compress space makes static objects go by faster and/or blurry. sometimes they also playback at lower framerates.
20:03 "OH MY GOD!" 😮
Such a thoughtful review of this film. As a car fanatic, I love this film. It was the first film that I watched after setting up a new tv with surround sound. It was mind blowing. Nice job!
Saw this in IMAX, Fantastic movie. Should of got some awards!
It won 2 Oscars for Best Film Editing and Best Sound Editing and was nominated for Best Fim and Best Sound
@@chrisb.2178 Oops yea meant for Bale and Damon.
One thing besides the script that I enjoyed from this film, are the many lens flares you see. Kind of an awe-inspiring moment of the character feels while going as fast as he did. Despite how fast it looks for us outside the vehicles, it's calming and somewhat tranquil to him.
I attended the 24 Hours @ Daytona (February) & 12 Hours of Sebring (March) that was the run-up to THAT Le Mans in June.....as a kid with my family. My dad was German & we were euro- style racing fans. Watched all these guys race, all these great cars. Wonderful time for racing. Ford threw $ at the "issue" and finally left. Legacy of Ferrari isn't for sale....or Porsche dominance that followed in an even bigger legacy.
And Shelby was a great race-guy....Ken Miles was a fantastic driver.
The test drive scene with Ford jr is one of the top 5 scenes of this entire century. SO freakin good.
For the 50th anniversary of that triumph, legendary team owner Chip Ganassi entered four Fords 66-69 for the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans for the GT Pro Class, which three of the four finished 1st, 3rd and 4th. Ironically, the 2nd place car in class was a Ferrari.
When my wife and I watched this, she picked up before I did on the actress playing Mollie, Ken's wife -- Caitríona Balfe, who plays Claire Fraser on Outlander. I thought early on that the supremely satisfying relationship between them might hold a bit of foreshadowing, but thankfully (for once) kept that prediction to myself! When Ken didn't make it, I expected my wife to react more strongly because of that relationship than she did, but she identified the actress to her TV character so much, it was like Ken's gone, but at least she still has Jamie.... 😂
Always impressed by the intros and outros to these vids. It's like word for word every time.
If you like this movie i think you should give it a chance to "Rush" another racing movie about one the best rivalry in Formula 1 , a great film with Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl
Hey Sam and Daniel, since the racing cherry has now been popped on the channel. Time to watch, "Days of Thunder", "Rush" and " Talladega Nights"
& LeMans (1971) & Grand Prix (1966)
You are guys are so great to watch. Isn't this such a great film? Ken and Carole's friendship is amazing to watch. Thanks for the good reaction, keep it up!
What an amazing story to watch with you both! This was a great telling of industry politics, passion and drive, along with the self-destructive flaws a person of otherwise fantastic talent can have, and the awesome people that worked their buts off to make a great racing machine and burn their way to first place!
Great video!
Loved your reactions! I think you'd like World's Fastest Indian (2005) starring Anthony Hopkins too. A similar, true "racing" underdog story
Test drive scene is best scene in the film
"Customer is only right in matters of taste. Outside that they're always wrong." Full quote.
Rush (2013) is a great F1 racing movie to do a reaction. It is the true story from the mid 70s about the rivalry between two drivers.
'Nearly' true story. They were only antagonist with each other in the movie, Hollywood loves a duel, in reality they were quite good friends. Rivals but friends. Great film.
This movie is absolutely fantastic. And you should research the history the Lemans race. I did a dive into that rabbit hole after watching this movie and it's insane.
Cool reaction as always Schmitt & Samantha, you both have a good night
Nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Picture, but won for Best Film Editing and Best Sound Editing.
It's from the director of COPLAND, IDENTITY, INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY, AND LOGAN.
Hey there Schmitts! I just want to say that I still love the content you continue to put out and that hopefully everything is going great with the baby!
Also, you guys should definitely check out another Keanu Reeves flick called Chain Reaction. Never seen this until last night but I can tell you that you might have a fun time with this one! 🤓👍🏼👌🏼
Another great racing movie to add to the already brilliant suggestions below, Days of Thunder - Tom Cruise, Robert Duvall and Nicole Kidman. I can't believe it you haven't reacted to it already to be honest.
I think it got overlooked because people considered it Top Gun with cars. I personally loved it.
Nascar is boring :P
@@miller-joel Not with Tom Cruise behind the wheel. It's like Nascar on steroids. Totally ridiculous and awesome.
@@John_Locke_108 Well tbh, it kinda is...but that's not a bad thing 🙂 And also interesting to see the chemistry between Tom and Nicole as they got married after this movie...
To see Sam's reaction to the overvheated brakes and car explosion really hit home the danger of the racing lifestyle and pushing it to the limits. -------- I think Sam felt like Ken's son in that moment where she realised that there is a dark side to all the fun of going at 200 mph on a asphalt road. Any moment can be your last going 200 mph. Some of the luster of racing came off for Sam. -----But she's still in it to win it. Let's go get Ferrai.
In Europe, the movie was marketed under the name Le Mans '66.
If you enjoy F1, there are two great movies that should be on your radar: Grand Prix (1966) about a fictionalized version of the 1966 F1 season shot in the real locations with some amazing cinematography, and Rush (2013) about the rivalry of James Hunt and Niki Lauda.
Christian Bale's performance is absolutely fantastic.
I love this movie. It's one of my favorite films of the recent years.
Shelby always makes me think of Gone in 60 Seconds. Not a particularly good movie but the way they showed reverence to Shelby was great. The 1967 Shelby GT500 from that movie is still around and last time it changed owners it was worth $2 million.
The film takes place between 1963 and 1969.
You guys should come to the Shelby American Collection museum here in Colorado if you are ever in the area. They have the actual Miles GT40 from history and so much more. I'm so grateful I get to see them often. I loved this movie so much. It was so emotional even though I knew what was coming.
To be clear about Henry Ford's (2nd) speech which is slightly lost in the cut is that he is stopping the assembly line, but he SPEAKS to the management. He SPEAKS to the Suits and deliberately want the workers to SEE him threaten to fire the entire management team.
I really love your black background movie theater atmosphere a lot of other reaction reviewer’s could learn a lot you can’t really get a felling of the movies especially suspense and horror without a dark theater background atmosphere thank you very much for that.
Some more background info: The Ferrari win in 1965 depicted here was the last time Ferrari won the 24h of Le Mans overall...until this year! They got beaten by Ford from '66 -'69, by Porsche in '70 and '71 (Watch "Le Mans" with Steve McQueen!) and French company Matra in '72 and '73 and pulled out of the top sportscar category after that. They went on to compete for lower-class victories (and got a couple of those) over the years (including a renewed duel with Ford when they entered the GT class from 2016-2019, Ford won in 2016, Ferrari in 2019). Ferrari re-entered the top class for sportscars (now called Hypercars) along with a massive influx of other manufacturers this year and won Le Mans outright on their first attempt for 50 years back in June, finally breaking Toyota's 5-year winning streak.
LOVE this movie. Probably my favorite racing film.
I went into that movie with no expectations. I was pleasantly aurprised
Saturday Night Dinner and a Movie!
Shame Mangold got roped in with Indiana Jones disaster. Really a solid, underrated journeyman director. Really enjoyed this movie.
I agree! I really like the pace of the film!it must have been crap to film Indy 5 movie, studio interference after some plot leaks! I havent seen Phoebe Waller Bridges actress, but I really really liked Killing Eve series she apparently wrote on!
@@johnbernhardtsen3008 It honestly wasn't that bad, miles ahead of Crystal Skull. A huge overinflated budget (estimated around 450 million including advertising) meant that It had to smash the box office for weeks to even break even.
I hope y’all do more automotive related reactions soon! With spooky season coming, maybe Christine?
The only comparable movie was "Le Mans" starring the incomparable Steve McQueen. It had virtually no exposition but it was riveting from beginning to end. I had the great good fortune to see it in a theatre when it was released.
As a a huge car guy and racing fan and have been my whole life (im 18), this movie is my all time favorite if not in my top 5 all time movies. The category if racing in this movie is Endurance racing, I am a fan of most if not all disciplines of motorsport and Endurance racing is my favorite because it truly tests the drivers skills, fitness and strength but also if the car can withstand the constant running, banging, and non stop action. it truly is a test of endurance. Also to add a few things, there were quite a few inaccuracies in the movie on of which being when Ken slowed down at Le Mans, He did in fact slow down but he clearly came across the line in second, there was no technicality, Bruce McLaren won the 1966 24 hours of Le Mans. But without a doubt every motorsport fan believes that Ken Miles should have won that race.
I had watched the documentary before the movie came out and when I heard about the movie, I thought, I bet you Christian Bale will play Ken Miles, and sure enough, that's what happened. I was almost hoping that they would end the movie with the race and say that he died only in the text before the end credits but they had to pull on the old heartstrings.
So that rule that robbed Ken was invented on the spot and has never been heard of before or after. It is basically accepted that Ken won the race.
Leo Beebe was done an injustice with this movie. Henry II trusted him to oversee things,, and was named the head of Ford Racing.
The first two races he ever saw in person:
The NASCAR race in mid-1964, where Fireball Roberts was burned alive in a Ford stock car.
Two weeks later, he saw two men die in a fiery lap 2 crash (see the RUclips videos). Both were driving Ford powered Indy cars.
The finish.......the rules stated that the winner is the car that travels the farthest in 24 hours. McClaren didn't qualify as well as Miles, and started farther down the grid.
Remember.. no in-car radios in those days.
Ford actually asked the race officials about finishing together like they did, was told it was no problem, so that was the direction the drivers were given at the last driver change. After the change, the race officials told them about the "longest distance". The decision was made to leave the decision "as-is", rather than call them in and explain the rule (all kinds of bad things could have happened)
Miles' death was even worse than the movie showed. Happened at Riverside, near the pits. The kid ran to the crash site, and saw his dad's body, which was thrown from the car when it disintegrated.
Read "Go Like Hell" for the real true story.
Ken's story is the classic "underdog" story. He slogged in the Socal racing for 15 years, never having the money or sponsorship to have first class equipment, then got his chance with Shelby and his Cobras, then the GT40s. Given decent cars, he was a world-class driver.
At the beginning, When Carroll Shelby tells Ken Miles the guy who runs Porsche was interested in hiring him. he says he doesn't like Germans. Miles was a tank commander in the European theater of World War II.
I don't know why they made Leo Beebe the nemesis. He didn't have anything against Ken Miles and in fact felt bad when the rule-makers at Le Mans screwed Miles out of the win. The photo-finish was Henry Ford's idea, not Beebe's.
The scene in which Miles almost gets killed testing the car at night wasn't unusual in the 1960s. Racing was extremely dangerous. The odds of surviving a race were no better than 50-50. It was all about speed and handling -- there was no thought for the driver's safety. Enzo Ferrari was the worst -- he was called the Assassin because of his disdain for safety. More drivers were killed driving for him than for anyone else. In 1966, the Scottish driver Jackie Stewart crashed during a race and the means of rescuing him and getting him to a hospital were entirely improvised, and badly. If he had been hurt worse than he was, he would have died before anything could be done for him. He became the most vocal advocate for driver safety, and he prevailed.
I was 15 when the Le Mans race depicted here was run. I remember the outcome very well. I remember how the Ferrari that Lorenzo Bandini was driving blew its engine. Ferrari's engines were small and super highly-tuned. Ford's engine was a muscle-car power plant that was equally great for drag racing.
Ferrari never won Le Mans again.
Carroll Shelby lived to be 89.
Rush. Best racing movie, best F1 movie.
100000%
Nah, Le Mans (1971) best motorsport movie, Grand Prix best F1 movie.
20:14 That's why especially at that time, racing was (one of) the most dangerous professions. Either racing, practicing, or testing; one little fuck up, and you are dead.
26:50 Actually at that time, there wasn't any radios like we have today. So the drivers are blind. Again adding in the dangers of racing.
Hi Daniel & Samantha!🙂This is a very interesting and good true story!😉You don't need to know anything about car racing to enjoy this one. We all know Christian Bale is an excellent actor, but Matt Damon gives some very impressive line delivery here. When I think of car racing films "Days of Thunder" (1990) with Tom Cruise comes to mind. Also, the Will Ferrell comedy "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" (2006). Samantha was right about the foreshadowing about getting out of the car. Great reactions to this well made and well acted film, Daniel & Samantha!!!!🎬👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Christian Bale said he enjoyed making this movie in part because he could just speak as he does in real life and not make up accents like he usually does 😂
One of my favorite movies 💜💜
pause at 15:20, that face Sam is giving TBR, lol. Love it!
Now they have to watch Rush (2013)!!! 😍😍😍
I absolutely love the Ford crying scene. A grown man (who has been shown to be a bit of a hardass) getting overwhelmed with emotions and genuinely missing his father, it's really well done and realistic.
i remember when jeremy clarkson got his GT40...fresh on the tarmac,..got in and...didnt start...had to send it back...quality was Ford's prestige back then...not any more now
Yes multiple minutes in the lead during Le Mans (24hr race) isn't a huge deal.
Ken was the best just like Shelby so you put them both together and their unbeatable ✌️🙂
I can say from experience one of the worst feelings in the world is when you step on the brake pedal in a racecar and nothing happens. Every time I see that scene my heart skips a beat.... it's scary
Le Mans is still being raced every year. One of the things they changed was the start of the race, they no longer run to the cars and start that way as way too many accidents happened with that. These days they do a so called rolling start, where the drivers are inside the car and driving towards the start line, with the race starting as soon as they cross the start line. This is much safer since all the cars are at least able to start (which can be a problem with the standing start used in F1) and have enough speed and distance to each other that crashes should be less likely on the start.
This is such an underrated movie with my favorite actor: Christian Bale
I'm not a Ford guy, GM. But I loved this movie. Beebe was just a pencil pusher. He went to head up Philco a Ford subsidiary. They made radios, phonographs and televisions.
For another racing movie that pulls the heart strings watch Anthony Hopkins in "The Las Indian."
I love this movie n it being based on a true story kinda hits hard every time. Great reaction
Shelby should have known about the rule that robbed Ken Miles of the victory. He was no stranger to Le Mans having won there in 1959. The rule is whoever travels the farthest distance in 24 hours wins the race. This is no obscure technicality, it is simply the most fundamental concept in 24 hour endurance racing. I think that he threw Ken under the bus to keep in Ford's good graces.
Matt damon ! . Not on purpose. Divine providence. Then 😂
