Review of: Ford v. Ferrari (2019). Deep Look Into The Business Of Cars and Racing.

I'll admit, I'm not the right person to see this film. It is about racing and the car biz. #jamesmangold does his very best to make an intriguing and great film, and I think those that already love cars will be in heaven when they see this.

#theonlyopinionthatmatters #filmreview Martial artist-turned egotistical-liar, #stevenseagal gave movies a shot in the late 1980s. Out came an action thriller with a surprising amount of brains and a performance where he actually makes an effort to act. Seagal has never been a good actor, but compare how much he tries in this one to everything he did after 2002 and this looks like Olivier. lmao...

Back again with another banger video
@@ohn-no5812 Thanks dude!!😎
I always thought his stuff was subpar. And the fact that he diddles kids is fucked.
The entire cast was amazing. Billy Connelly was a revelation. The 2nd film, Victoria and Abdul was also pretty good with the usual Brit focus on design and costume. The fact is was also based on a true story made it even more intriguing. I think you are limiting your view of Brit actresses.
Wow man, you should probably not be reviewing movies. It's pretty clear that you probably only like action or sci-fi type movies. Probably like the Stallone and Schwarzenegger type movies, and all the Star Wars and Star Trek type movies. Maybe even a Transformers fan? This was a great movie. It had a realness and relatability factor to it, that is extremely rare in films. It was really just about one person, and she was just extremely easy to identify with. And not only did she do a fantastic job, especially for her first time out, but she was so absolutely captivating in the entire movie. You just can't, and don't want to, take your eyes off of her. No nudity or sexy outfits or anything like that, to try to exploit her looks, and get a better reception from viewers like you. Actually, she spends most of the film wearing fairly bland and unattractive clothing, and also goes through almost the entire film with absolutely no makeup. And she looks unbelievably stunningly beautiful. Honestly, one of the main reasons that I've watched that film numerous times, is because of exactly that. I'm just completely floored by how naturally beautiful she is, and just can't get enough of looking at her. And she plays the part of a broke and humble young woman so well, that she comes off as being almost attainable for just your common everyday guy like myself, and many others. As a man, and a young man exactly her age at the time that movie came out, I have been able to watch that over the years, and just imagine myself passing through Panama City, or any little town like it, and running into a Ruby out there somewhere, and actually having a chance to be with someone like that, who is so beautiful on the outside and on the inside, but doesn't think of herself that way and is really just looking for someone that is decent and will treat her well and take care of her. I kind of think that's exactly what the writers and director were going for, and they couldn't have chosen a more perfect actress for the role. Especially choosing an unknown actress, it was just a pure stroke of genius, and I'm not sure that anyone else really could have played Ruby so convincingly. Stick to video games and ComicCon man, really.
@@scottp300 So I didn’t like a particular movie so I’m ignorant eh? 🙄🙄 Victor Nunez only did one good movie (Ulee’s Gold, a REAL 4-star film). This movie was extremely weak and not interesting because there’s barely a plot and we don’t get to know these people. I’m sticking to Yasunjiro Ozu, Jean Renoir and Federico Fellini, NOT Nunez.
@@scottp300 And maybe you should watch my other videos before assuming my niche🙄
I liked his early stuff but I just can't bring myself to watching his Movies anymore knowing about his behaviour with his step daughter.
@@RyansuBike That’s understandable. I just way too sucked into the moment when I watch some of his films. In this case, I didn’t see Woody, I saw Harry.
woody is the most underrated director.
You know, I like his films, except for that nervous fella that's always in them.
@@exexalien Yeah that can get repetitive
People who love Woody Allen suck
You love him as much as he loved his step kids?
Mia Farrow looks she a big pain in the ass, and guess what, He is still married to his daughter, so I would guess they are both happy, I didn't like Woody for that reason for awhile also
The whole scene of "Max's Dark Secret" is absolutely hilarious.
I don't care what people think of Woody He's a cinematic genius, and philosophical
I love that Woody is an amoral degenerate because it really helps him make better art. I believe that only the most foul and repugnant people can make great art. Plus, being a predator is just hot 🥵
Wtaf!!!! You're sick.
Mulholland Drive, nice. No A Serious Man, bad list
what i love about Woody , his choice in little girls
i didnt really get it tbh, and i speak a tiny bit of inuktitut
@@Kira.i. One of those films that takes a couple of watches to get because it’s so strange in its writing.
The Passion is the Biblical Rocky while Last Temptation is the Biblical It's a wonderful Life 😅
@@Thespeedrap That’s a good way of putting it!😁
The editing represents his drug-abuse. It happens when he takes pills.
That never clicked to me. Thanks so much for clearing it up!!
@@movie-mandan His drug abuse is also why he becomes "out of focus" in the critical scene where he is brought back to reality by the prostitute.
@@annaclarafenyo8185 Yes I remembered that aspect.
i’m guessing your next videos will be about why you love harvey weistein and convicted fugative roman polanski! 🙄🙄🙄🙄
I should make a video about separating the art from the artist. Since Polanski is a director whose face is never in the public eye, he’s much easier to do so than with someone like Allen.
Harry used his real life in his fiction, and the awkward editing is Harry's own life being treated like one of his novels with somebody flicking through the pages, skipping through certain parts, going back to make sure they understood the situations depicted etc. That's just my theory.
@@orderd29 And it’s a good one too
Good work mate , if you permit me only one comment .. judging a script from an -let's say- ethical view ,carries the problem of naturalistic interpretation of an art subject but every art subject form has his own true of his own content .. Keep up
@@katholos Well said pal. I’m glad you phrased it like this. At least you understand my problem
I loved this movie because it felt original and unsettling. Though there are some jump scares, it felt more like a mystery movie than a horror movie.
Ever seen the theory that Ferris ticks nearly every box on the Hare Psychopath checklist? It's an interesting theory.
@@johnsmith8906 I’ll give it a whirl, as long as it doesn’t ruin the movie’s resonance lmao
Now i’m wondering what you feel about “Forrest Gump”….
@@derekroberts6654 This movie depicts Sam as being annoying and incompetent. Forrest Gump shows him as almost heroic and inspirational in some regards. Either way, Forrest Gump is a far superior film in every way to this stinker. I should make a video about the Zemeckis film

I love the book and movie. Another really good movie starring Matt Dillion and also based off a Hinton book is Tex from 1982.
@@EddieHenderson92 I think it is Dillon’s best performance
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ cinematography and lighting, sound design, screenplay, acting.
It is good to hear a man's interpretation of 3 women. I have never forgotten this movie since I saw it in 77. The coat in the door is such a stark metaphor of duvall's character never quite measuring up. Where can I watch this? Thanks for the attention to Shelley Duvall.

I think a Charlie Chan film made today could really be good as long as the modern-day creators / actors don't piss on what came before them. Contempt and disregard for a franchise's own history has been to many a brand's depreciation.
@@Bat-Twenty-Two Get either Ken Jeong, Jackie Chan or the guy who played Shang Chi. Make it part comedy but not extreme in explosives like the Mission Impossible films.
@@movie-mandan I'd go with Jackie. He's got legend status, but I'd lean on his acting and comedic chops rather than force action into it like the recent Poirot films.
Earl Derr Biggers wrote the Charlie Chan novels specifically to combat the 'sinister Chinese' stereotype that was prevalent in the 1920s, with characters like Fu Manchu. Chang Apana, a real-life member of the Honolulu police force, appears to have been Biggers' model for Charlie. To extrapolate, Charlie Chan seems to be first-generation Hawaiian (Hawaii not becoming a state until the 1950s), having the Chinese speech patterns of his immigrant parents, so that's not really an affectation, as some people may surmise. (I had a co-worker of Chinese heritage, who was born in America, and she had similar speech patterns, though not as strong.) Chan's children, both in the books and the movies, are all well-educated and have fully American and colloquial speech patterns and mannerisms. In both the books and the movies, Charlie is a well-respected member of the Honolulu police force. No overt racism is shown, except maybe some of the villainous characters. Mandan Morland, as Charlie's chauffer Birmingham Brown, is treated similarly for the most part. (Unfortunately, Steppin Fetchit, in 'Charlie Chan in Egypt'. doesn't get to break out of his stereotypical characterization.) Warner Oland, though Swedish, didn't need make-up to make him look Asian. He actually looked like that in real life, as did his siblings. I believe it was director Hamilton McFadden who insisted that the Chan films be educational as well as entertaining. The films included information on fax machines (yes, they existed in the 1930s), photo finishes at horse races, analysis of blood splatters, and more, which were later crucial to solving the mystery in question. There were a few earlier Charlie Chan films starring Asian actors as Chan, but they didn't have the box office draw of Caucasian actors. It wasn't until Warner Oland was cast that the films took off. The films pretty much launched the careers of such actors as Keye Luke and Victor Sen-Yung. The early films ran 75 minutes or less, true, but the screenwriters packed a lot of story in that limited time. Also, going to the movies was a real experience. For 25 cents (about the cost of a piano lesson), you got two movies, a short subject such as a travelogue, a cartoon, a newsreel, and a serial such Flash Gordon.
@@HannibalFan52 Thanks for the extra CC history!😎
@@movie-mandan You're very welcome! By the way, Biggers' six novels have been reprinted, and I believe they're still available. I bought my copies about five years ago.
To call racism is the height of egotistical laziness and racism yourself. When those movies were made hollow wood had few well-known Chinese actors, and the did introduce a few real live Chinese actors that have lasted thru the ages. They also gave the world black actors. Today they call themselves “starving artists.” Then they were really starving.
@@davidb6347 Just the later ones like the ones with Peter Ustinov were bad. Nothing wrong at all like Warner and Sidney. Besides, I called the majority of the Charlie Chan films great and not racist at all
This movie was garbage. And if anyone knows about that time it was me. And his storyline sucked. And his characters sucked. Main character is a Latino pretending to be an Italian. He doesn’t look Italian. And who wore a Mohawk back in my neighborhoods that I hung out in the Bronx. We all had nice haircuts and disco clothes. And this was months before Saturday Night Fever. Why not write about how this piece of trash affected our lives. I went looking for this piece of garbage and if we would have found him, he would still be recovering from the beating we would have given him. And I don’t want to hear that Michael Imperioli was a writer for this movie. He was 10 years old when I was in my TBird going around the neighborhoods with my buddies. I have to say I miss those days. Now if the movie writers would have came to the neighborhoods and interviewed us, maybe the script would have been better. We would have told him how certain girls were getting shot. I should know. One of the girls is one of my close friends. Her best friend was my ex girlfriend. I could write a book on these times and the disco life at the time of the shootings. How all the lover spots were vacant for fear of getting shot. Me and my ex girlfriend used to hang out at my cousins house. Or on Friday and Saturday Nights we headed to Long Island. This film in my opinion was a dud. 🕺🏻TM
To ask the question could a purple rain remake be any good is to not understand why the film is amazing. Prince makes the thing work and nobody today can be as complex an artist as he was fitting that role and sound of 1984,

Though I watched the TV show for years, never once seen the movie. I'll have to check it out.
Due to further and longer arcs & development, you may find the movie inferior. But I hope you like the movie as a whole, nonetheless
This just popped up, never seen your channel. quick fire round if someone asks me for favourite film, this one has a high chance of being my answer. Keanu Reeves best role. I quote this film on a weekly basis.
I agree it is Reeves’ best performance.
Silkwood was like the China Syndrome
But China Syndrome was better. I tried liking Silkwood but never ever could
That's funny. I found this movie through an article on Charbol on Ebert's website. Afterward, I bought the film on eBay and hyped it up to my friends, who all hated it. I kept the DVD and ditched the friends. Thanks for the review.
Burton spoke well of Eastwood on this film; comparing him to Gary Cooper.
Hugely popular in the UK. So much so that if you say, "Broadsword calling Danny Boy", just about everyone knows the precise reference.
They don't make movies like that anymore. When movies had a story. It's all drivel now
