I think I owe it to fff.net members sensitive to male whiteness being properly represented in the "movies," to report that white males (and only white males)
are present in this movie.
Panties and tampons for this small group will be spared. Not to worry gentlemen, it's all good!
And, for the rest of the movie-going public; ignore what I just said. F v. F is based on the true story of Ken Miles, a Brit race car driver, and Carroll Shelby, an American car designer. It is about race car driving, yes, but it's much more. It's about a friendship between two men, both striving for excellence in their field and the struggles that spring from pursuing that dream.
It is an excellent story told expertly without incurring that boring sensation that oft accompanies a story of technical professional efforts. There is a strong woman in it, so ladies don't feel left out. Hollywood hasn't gone completely mental (like some of our more sensitive dolts here in Fireflyland).
Seriously, Matt Damon and Christian Bale are two pros who deliver every time out (the script was concise and snappy in it's storytelling), although, at times, they pick a loser, not so in Ford v. Ferrari. They are great together and boy do they deliver the goods. It's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting and Stir Crazy all rolled into one. Well, maybe I overdid it just a touch, but you get my meaning. The chemistry between these two is palpable.
It is a good story with solid, if not, great performances.
Once upon a time, I knew who Shelby was, the creative genius behind the Ford Mustang GT, the ultimate in muscle cars. But, frankly, I don't know anything about LeMans racing or Ken Miles. Well, after seeing this movie, I still don't know much, but I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. So, don't go into it thinking you need to know, they will tell you. You'll laugh, you'll grab the edge of your seat and white-knuckle it, you'll cheer and you'll shed a tear (for those of us who are human).
4 out of 5 stars.

It wasn't made for me, but by all accounts I'm hearing, it's a solid movie.

Outside of soccer, I can't imagine a "sport" less interesting that Race Car Driving.
Didn't Days of Thunder and Talladega Nights already say whatever needed to be said already?

Gee, I thought you guys would be sucking each others dicks over how wonderful it is to have "white men" as heroes.
Will wonders never cease! Oh well, I'll chalk it up to an opportunity missed,
.....at least according the alt-right, supreme beings.
One day Hollywood will get it right; once Trump takes over as dick-tator.

Wow. It's almost as if white people don't all like the same thing.
I could give two shits about cars other than getting from point A to point B. I don't like golf either, so do try not to call me a Nazi when I don't go to the Tiger Woods movie whenever Hollywood scrapes that barrel and Tin Cup just isn't doing it for everyone anymore.
I never said I needed white people in a movie to go and see it. I never said I needed white males in a movie to go and see it.
I'm tired of mindless gender/race swaps in movies for the sake of "muh diversity", I'm tired of movies projecting the agenda that males are bad and white males are the worst, and I'm tired of Hollywood elites who get paid in a year more than most of us will ever make in our lives trying to shame us into seeing their hackjob crap devoid of any artistic integrity.
Apparently everybody else is too since these movies continue to fail left and right.
Do Right, Be Right. :)
