Im happy Capa is not real because I was about to hate someone a lot
Same goes to me.
if there was someone like cappa , he could lose his licence and be banned for life for deliberately ramming other drivers off.
@@y.a.p8951I was thinking that. I don't know the rules but I was thinking "uh wait. That should be a penalty right? ...." after he purposefully rammed the car in front.
@@WhirlingMusic clearly , with everyday so much push for safety of the driver and preventing future incidents causing serious harm for drivers , track staff and spectators. Dirty maneuver are only possible in cartoons.
mazepin?
Every film 'based on a true story' takes creative liberties cause it's meant to entertain, if it didn't might as well be an actual bio-pic. Even great films like Ford v Ferrari & Rush took creative licenses in some way. Most of the main story beats from the true life story of Jann are present in the film. Yes Jann wasn't the first winner like the film made it to believe but he was the youngest & has had the more interesting journey compared to other past winners which made translating to film easier to achieve.
Reality is always more fun than the shit they come up with.
@@markozivanovic117 Did you get the edge out of your system yet?
@@3rdWorldGamer it's literally The Fast and the Furious GT with a clichéd script and ordinary acting by people with 0 passion for racing. Not 1 overtake in the movie was realistic, therefore not exciting. Things grounded on reality are more exciting.
@@markozivanovic117 sure kid... "literally" fast and the furious. Moving on...
@@3rdWorldGamer you're so protective of the movie, that's cute.
It was a good film , and it made me do research on it. That’s crazy to think they had academy of gamer turn real racers. Which is amazing on it’s on
yea i used to see those Nissan Academy stickers on those GT5 cases back on PS3 days, never actually paid attention to them back then lol
I find some of the emphasis on this being a true story weird because I knew about GT Academy, and Lucas Ordonez getting a drive with Kazunori Yamauchi at the 24h of Nurburgring 10 years ago.
Sucks the program ended in 2016
I remember when the first and following academies came out, and remember thinking that it could change the way we do things more generally, using sim and VR to train people to do a range of things. It was very exciting when I learned that a gamer went pro IRL. The world has changed so fast in the last 100 years, and the change appears to have accelerated.
@@barryschwarz it seems like it’s getting even better. Especially with modern vr nowadays
Also the movie clearly takes place in the modern day, whereas the real story happened over 10 years ago. Cars like the Lamborghini Huracan, the 992 Porsche 911 GT3 RS, and the Koenigsegg Gemera didn't exist yet.
Well spotted, also did you notice the branding was wrong for that time as well
"Nurburgring Northshlifer" is the funniest mispronounce of the track name I've ever heard
The Nord sniffer. Greatest track
And Le Monz. Oof
@@oateater5044 Gran Tureesmo
I know from the start that the GT movie has inaccuracies and added fictional elements to make the film more entertaining. All right or wrong aside but this film impressed me a lot in terms of cinematography, CGI, visual effects, drama, action and references from the GT games. as a huge fan of the racing gaming franchise and this is a must buy for my 4K ULTRA HD movie collection also.
The racing is completely unrealistic when it comes to the racing, very boring cliché script. The Documentaries and interviews of GT Academy drivers are far more entertaining imho.
@@markozivanovic117why not prove your points instead of just saying it
@@markozivanovic117Your point being? Because I saw no valid arguments toward what you mean as "unrealistic racing". Find valid points, then talk.
@@byonemesis are you a racing fan? No. So why are you embarrassing yourself? Are you 12?
A movie about a racing sim and real racing where you overtake by randomly finding that magical extra gear and pressing the gas pedal to the metal during a straight, but not only that, you overtake by down shifting mid corner and pressing the gas pedal to the metal. One thing doesn't exist and the other would make you spin out of control and crash your car.
The script is total cliché, with the regular sensationalist distortion of the real story, while the racing itself fails miserably.
The acting is ok but not great at any point, as the people involved obviously know nothing about racing, so the passion is not there.
Listen to any podcast or watch any documentary about the real driver on CZcams and you'll have a lot of fun, because as always, the real story is always better and more magical than what Hollywood comes up with.
This movie is an insult to racing fans. Honestly it's an insult to anyone with a driving licence.
I literally paid to lose 2h of my life.
@@officerjohns9554 is the earth flat? Do I have to prove that? You obviously are not familiar how racing works then, cars don't have a magical extra gear on straights, you clown.
It's still a very good movie no matter what. Choice of Archie as Jann superb! Amazing actor with a magnetic personality! Will watch it again!
And looks nothing like jann
@@crackthecan3970 internet when a person is not the same as the other NOWAY
@@crackthecan3970cool story
I thoroughly enjoyed it, obviously liberties were taken, as in all entertainment
Only the base fans would have watched the true story, this goes to a much wider audience, and maybe some of those viewers will find out about sim racing
Thus helping our little hobby
One of things they totally nailed, is how visceral the experience of driving a real race car is
And tbh, there are few racing movies that pull that off
Grand Prix, and LeMans come to mind
@@db-mp2of they nailed nothing about racing the cars that were shown
People gotta relearn the term "based on".
I feel betrayed that Jack Salter isn't a real person...😢😢😢
Me to, but from my experience i kind of knew he was made up from the beginning...
@@Techa018facts im bummed he was fake but makes sense often times characters like salter are always made to use them as lessons for the protagonists
Its close enough. Its pretty obvious whats fictional and it all just helps makes the film more entertaining
True
@@markozivanovic117 oh I’m American am I?
Sorry mate, I was in a bad mood. I expected the movie to be a lot more realistic and I didn't like it for being sensationalist, the script was mega cliché. Watching Documentaries and interviews with the GT Academy drivers was much more fun for me. Cheers
Like Capa, he is probably real, but not hat big of an ass.
@@markozivanovic117dude, its a movie, not a documentry, you cant compare a documentary to movies, they are complete different things. Documentaries are factually based, while movies that are based on real events are only "BASED" on real events. So please dont expect movies to be documentaries
One things for sure. This is the one of the few movies made based off of a game that's truly enjoyable. I did wish they were more accurate with his bond with the family though. It'll given this underdog story bit of more of a wholesome feel it should have. But great movie. Will watch it again!
Man I can’t believe the gt academy ended in 2016 :(
Foreal gimme a car imma place atleast 2nd at Le Mans
And that would mean GT Academy with GT Sport & 7 got canceled soz.
I loved to watch this movie as someone freshly into SimRacing, and im totally fine with fictional additions or time-changes for the plot. I was blasted away how good they managed to show the speed in the cinema. It felt great
I really liked it, I was very impressed that Jann also has a real racing career since I belived that they would have retired him after a few race. Also I think people are really hungry for a proper racing movie, Ford vs Ferrari was masterpiece and I hope F&F will one day return to its more grounded roots.
What disturbed me most was the amount of Foto-finishes… you can do that one time for more tension, the second time was like „really, again?“, the third time was like „no way… skip this slomo, there is Not and tension left, its getting boring“. Abt there were two times that in very important races there were gaps of 6 seconds to the needed Position in the last round. I mean come on… even on a long track like le mans that gap is too big on that Level. Without a mistake of your opponent, really bad tyres or technical issues there is no way to reach and overtake.
And the overtakes were strange, too. Downshifting at the apex to turn inside and just pass the opponent is not how it works on this Level, its in the Breaking Zone or entrance, wurde you chose your line, or it is the better exit that lets you pass the next few hundret meters.
And i have to say: no sim-driver on his Level would drive with visible ideal line. And sometimes another line is fastet or brings you in position to attack, but in the movie he just drives every curve wide - in reality that can wird when your tyres have much more grip, but i have never seen a Professional driver doing this in every single curve in a row. The others are pro-drivers, their lines are not so bad that the long way around is faster… i know they try to make it entertaining and dramatic, but a bit more realism would have been better - i think many people watching this movie know about real racing. Rush was better regarding credibility.
I still liked the movie, the Story and the actora were Food and the racing scenes were great im visual aspects
I'm much older than Jann, but I raced with him when we were in a league called "Race World Series." After my experience with Forza (many years), I wanted something better, but still in the Xbox console. That game was "Race Pro." Made by the guys that made the SimBim race simulation for PC. It played like a PC on the Xbox. I found the league because there were few places to race console games without assists, and without the races just being a few laps. Jann won the Independent Driver award and I won it the next season. Jann was also getting into the Gran Turismo game. Not because if was better than Race Pro, but because it had a pretty fantastic prize for winning. He called us during a race and told us he won the whole thing. Gran Turismo is just another race movie that gets the actual racing all wrong. :Like the things with the driving line and his ability to pass whenever he felt like it. But you can get an ulcer waiting for a race movie to be authentic. So I'll keep waiting for something that tells the truth. p.s. I'm racing on iRacing now, and I've won a few things here and there, but I'm no alien. Funny thing, they made another movie about something I did as a kid, racing up on Mullholland Highway. That movie was called "King of the Mountain," and it was just as realistic as "Gran Turismo."
also they shot le mans in hungaroring lol 😅
I guess y'all don't know the meaning of movie
@@subhashgottumukkala 24h of Budapest. xD
Youre whining about attention to detail, yet your spelling is all over the place.
Fr, the first time i saw capa making contacts with him i thought the referee would shout "5 second penalty for ocon"
Movies still gotta follow "movie formula" to tell a story in movie form at the end of the day.
The point is a gamer won the hardest real life Motorsport event in the world. That’s all that matters.
He didn't win le mans but he deserved the champagne
@@petertaylor4758Technically he didn't win, but based on his situation and making the podium. He won
@@morethanmeetstheeye0 let's agree that he done better than anyone expected. And props to that
Well, actually, the point is : he did not. 3rd in category (LMP2) in Le Mans (9th overall) is fantastic, but as a matter of fact, it’s not a win. Filmmakers can’t help making stuff up. It’s so annoying.
One of my favorite racing movies. Best racing film since Rush.
Also loved the small fan service throughout such as the sounds etc and especially at the end when he finally won the 24 hour Le Mans with the whole cheering and pumping fist with the confetti.
Right
I like Ford v Ferrari more than rush. But I like all 3. This. Ford. And rush.
rush is unrealistic, ford vs ferrari is unrealistic, and also this movie.
@@hectalliumso what? It's a movie bro. Not a documentary or something. Creative liberties are to be expected
You're telling me my favorite character in the movie was fake? Damn
This background music is probably my favorite from you guys
This is maybe sounds dumb... But i kinda want a Gran Turismo sequel, like this video say.. Jann is not the only one that won GT academy, there's a lot.. but the reason they pick Jann because he story sounds interesting.. a flying car and kill some people.. now that what people want to watch. And if they for some reason want to make a sequel they better pick a racer that have some pretty cool backstory like Jann
Or they could go deeper into his life and talk about what he did after he won the big race I want to see his story and life continued
@@jillnearing5445 Well, for one, the accident happened after he won Le Mans in real life.
Yeah the Fanatec steering wheel seemed more like a advertisement for the brand, cause I was thinking I don't think he had that in real life but maybe a Logitech or something similar
i loved the movie and the story behind it, but this was very interesting too see and to learn more about the movie and the story behind it
Just watched it...GREAT MOVIE!!!
I wanted to see this film when it came out. Fast forward four months later, got to FINALLY watch it on Netflix. And I had a GREAT TIME watching it with my brother-in-law who’s practically my brother. I knew that this was based on a video game, but I had NO idea that it was based on a true story. I got my Dad to watch it, he watched it twice, which means that he too loved it. I’m planning to watch it again, as well. I also received Gran Turismo 7 for Christmas/Birthday. Five hours in, I’m LOVING the game. I’m about to go play some!
If someone watch movie twice in row it means something
@@FurDown-rn3sh, it does. This movie was SO GOOD! I felt like we were robbed for Best Video Game Adaptation at the Game Awards.
Thanks for your true words guys (from 10.20) appreciate it 👍
This was actually a really fun movie. I found myself not really caring that it was based (loosely im sure) on real events. I also didnt care that it was predictable and cliche. It was still a fun movie.
The way it's made is a bit like the story mode in a game called Grid Legends.
Agreed
Nicholas Capa is basically Nathan McKane of GT Movie.
Quite informative 👍😎🎬 tks a lot
This was interesting, I saw a sneak peek of GT and wondered what they changed. This one seems like it took quite a few liberties.
one of the best driving movies ever made, they did so much justice to the game. they missed an opportunity to use a better gtr though
My fav was when they had an lmp3 beat an lmp2 and lmp1 and the gte quali over the lmp1
Edit: another thing, the lemans track was just the hungaroring painted different, the last corner in the movie is a hairpin and in real life it is a double chicane
Yeah I noticed that
Yes, not sure why they did that. Not like Le Mans should be that expensive to rent.
Considering the 24hr track includes public roads, it makes sense to use a dedicated track @@ethanweeter2732
@@ethanweeter2732 Le Mans is not a permanent circuit, so not only you would have to rent the permanent parts, you have to block the public roads for serveral months, and that is not cheap considering how many money they already spent on the cars
@@protalukoriginal4560 Well they had some more convincing shots of Mulsanne straight. -and a crash seemingly around Mulsanne corner somewhat reminiscent of Romain Grosjean's horror fireball crash at Bahrain. If they can't get the real circuit or a convincing substitute, just do it in CG. Don't try to tell me the last corner of le mans is a long hairpin.
No.11,the bird logo is facts as well..😊
For me it was the fact that they used the GTR instead of the 370z when he won the contract.
GTR fanbase in the world wayyyy bigger than 370z
I watched this a few weeks ago and it should be considered as one of the best "video game adaptation" films to come out, I was impressed by this movie and David Harbour is such a good actor. Also re-ignited my love of racing games/sims and I'm even watching motorsports now. This film really gave me my new hyperfixation haha.
According to the movie every track in this world is Hungaroring
I just got home from watching the movie.. It was very well done. Many subtle racing nuances. Quite realistic also. Hyperbole and sensationalism were not overdone.
this movie is so underrated its a crime
i am sure nicholas capa is based on nikita mazepin
That’s not how nikita is irl right?
@@matthew_natividad less attitude, but similar driving skills lol
Was there a story in gran turismo game? Cos I remember it as a racing game with nothing but you racing and working your way up
Based on real life. Not the game.
@@ChrisMcCarroll ain't seen the movie but was confused cos this video mentioned names and sure in the games you created your own player and was no story just racing to buy better cars to win more races etc and so where did the names come from lol
let see the family, hospital, girlfriend
@@jimbo9208 you must realise that makes zero sense
@@martintodd9944 someone did not watch the movie
Gran ‘Tureesmo’ and headset mic quality what is this
I followed the story in DSPORT magazine, they followed his progress and accomplishments. They are an import car mag, the founder helped start the IDRC, built the fastest 1st gen Eagle Talon on tbe streets, has a badass RH8 R33 GT-R, and a mechanical and aeronautical engineering degree from USC-Irvine i believe. Thank him and his buddies for imports being quick w 4 cylinders and a turbo, Michael Ferrara, give credit
Yes, watched GT Academy
It's a shame that this competition went away
You can’t have a “based on a true story” movie with a lot of wrong facts
It's because it's based on a true story. It is made to represent a true story.
That’s practically every historical movie Hollywood has ever produced! They care more about entertainment and profit over historical accuracy. 🎥 💰
That’s why is called “based on a true story”, if its 100% factual it’ll just be a documentary of jann, which will be less entertaining and isn’t marketable.
Bro it's not a biopic
u dont really understand what "based on a storymeans" huh
So Jack Salter was like "Doc" and Jann is "McQueen"😂
Better than "Drive to Survive."
Based on true story or not, this movie is absolutely stunning!
5:35 for some of you dont know this man is behind the wheels on last lap on 787b he take the first ever victory for japan at that time he was fainted and having faults with his one leg (cause of a accident which leads him to hiatus)
Despite all of that he made it possible to cross the line and made the 787b a truly icon
Crazy that i never heard of the GT Academy before this movie. I’m pretty into video games but had no idea.
Love your videos guys🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
how much is watchmojo paying you
Silverstone at the hungaroring and le mans at hungaroring just triggered me
and that one track at barcelona
Ok?
great work with the video but the fact you mis pronounced nordschleife is a bit sad but love the content
would have been awkward if jann was a controller player
I am just happy video game movies / live adaptations are getting better and better. First The Last of Us, and now this
11:54 oh yeah the tragic accident at the Nurbugring.
Wait so this is a REAL STORY?..not just movie about a game..?🤨🤨
Story of a gamer becoming a professional racing driver through the competition Sony/Gran Turismo made.
Yeah, I competed too at GT Academy
@@EzioMonitoreno you didn’t
@@taekwoncrawfish9418 How can you know that? I wasn't at the race camp at Silverstone but near to the first seats for it
@@EzioMonitore I’ll double down.
No

Didn’t
12:10 „Nordschliefer“ 😂😂😂
I wasn't expecting much at first going into the theater, the movie was so good I ended up watching the movie twice. To bad the movie have a bad stigma having the first impression of being an video game advertisement movie. I didn't knew director Neil Blomkamp made this movie until the ending credits.
6:16 welcome to 2024 🎉😂
Gt version of lewis hamilton
This movie should have been stated as "Inspired By A True Story" because it takes too many liberties to say that it's "based" on Mardenborough's actual career. Amazing movie still, definitely gonna watch it again!
Enjoy your next viewing!
I don't understand why his story was picked. He didn't win first in any race! None of the gran turismo winners did good haha. Nissan wasted a lot of money on the winners, when they could have scouted some karting racers (where most racers start)
I like the movie because it's my opinion, just like how others might not.
How did I fall to recognize Geri Halliwell?!?!?
I still have her Spice Girl fashion dolls displyed on a shelf in my room!!!!
Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! 🤦😲🤦😲🤦😲
Same I'm surprised that geri is in the movie when i saw her i said looks familiar when the credits started i saw her name wait that's Christian Horner's wife
I DONT WANNA HEAR THE HATE FR CAN WE JUST APPRECIATE THE RISKS AND ECT THEY TOOK TO MAKE THIS AMAZING FILM THIS WAS ALL REAL REAL DRIVERS REAL EVERYTHING AND ALSO JANN HIMSELF LOVES THE MOVIE AND EVEN WAS A STUNT DRIVER IN THE FILM HE IS OKAY WITH THE CHANGES THEY MADE BECAUSE ITS ENTERTAINMENT AND MAKES YOU FEEL A TYPE OF WAY I CANT EVEN EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS MOVIE HANDS DOWN THE BEST
The climax race was held at the wrong track. They were at the Hungaroring in Hungary instead of Circuit de la Sarthe in France
I only watched the movie because I attempted to do the same thing when GT5 mentioned the contest. Unfortunately I wasn’t quite fast enough… le sigh.
that American GT sequel better be on their pockets or stashed on some chest, I had fun watching this movie.
the only problem are the shaky cams and constant camera switching. should've learn from John Wick more focused camera handling.
Thus was one of the best movies ive dver seen. The race scenes was incredibly intense
12:13 never let an american pronounce the nürburgring ever again
obviously the film took some liberties, but i still enjoyed it and wholeheartedly recommend it
What about PS5 and T-gt2
Also grantutismo 7
No one of those are in time line with the event
So annoying 😂
I can’t lie the way he “takes his own line” is like watching someone overtake on easy mode
I had no idea that this contest existed movie was definitely entertaining
Does Martin have girlfriend is right or wrong?
Because gamer doesn't have time for women 👊😎
Most sim racing streamers I follow have wives, and significant others
Don't forget all kind of cars, classes and tracks that are wrong
until this video i didn’t know he was on sc featured
That's why it says "Based On True Story". Not "True Story".
The thing the games get wrong is that no race ever has a rolling start.
Most major series do rolling starts now. IMSA, WEC, Blancpain GT, DTM, IndyCar, NASCAR. The exception would be Touring Cars and Formula series.
i sorry what
im about to watch GTWC this weekend and im pretty damn sure it has a rolling start. Only Motorsport series i watch nowadays that have a standing start are MotoGP and F1
No, the problem is Qualifying doesn't exist in the movie.
bro one ad break is alright but 3 in this short vid man cmon.
Only 5 seconds of moon over the castle is factually wrong in this movie
my personal experience with the GT Academy that year as I've made it all the way to round 3 is that, the academy is just a marketing gimmick, they don't want people to know but the truth is they allow cheating and infinite entries.
the cars in the movie didnt exist in 2011
There’s also a PS5 in the movie.
If he wasn't the first winner, i wonder why they chose Jann, instead of the other two that won before him. 🤔
Because of his podium at le mans?
@taekwoncrawfish9418 Yeah like bruh that's no small feat especially considering how Jann started out
I mean it's a movie I never believe a movie that says "bases on a true story" lol.
When GT first came out it was the first Racing game I ever played and I fell in love. I fell off the game over the years. I never knew about this competition or the academy but if I did I would have absolutely loved to have entered it. I always wanted to race still would love to but it is entirely ashame they ended the academy and program.
the first thing that bothers me about the movie is that they say they're at Silverstone yet the track they are using is Hungaroring in Hungary and driving it in reverse (though the last corner they use is also wrong
this movie was downright AMAZING!
Why does Jack Salter feel like Doc Hudson in Cars?
How about them playing GT7 on PS5? Not exactly accurate for the time the movie takes place. But I get it. Who wants to see old graphics on the big screen?
Good movie, watched it on a plane ride. Only thing, Jann and Matty were separated by Milliseconds, why not take both.
The biggest think that bothered me is that the one race took place at Goodwood.
Fantastic movie
After movie started playing GT7 for the first time
The whole idea was nuts lol
This movie has no right being this good.
This movie made me get gt7, honestly I'm happy they didnt make the business guy want to throw him out the whole movie, I won't lie I was expecting them to go that route and was happily proved wrong
why the mechanic looks like trevor from gtav?
Hmmm...🤔
I wonder why they chose to base the movie on Jann instead of all the guys who won before him?
Is probably the same reason why they added female contestants at GT academy even though there wasn't any...
DEI
Or maybe they were asked and said no. [shrug]
This movie reminds me of the first f&f.
