Memorable, crazy movie
Just what I expected
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
If you ever wondered why the passion about Ferraris is, you have to see the show. Sadly, I don't see a DVD release, but it would be a darn shame if a producing company would not put it on DVD...The story is, in the end - about the passion. Passion for something higher, a dream to achieve more than people around you can achieve. Enzo took the brave step and moved forward with his dream, from being a small-time mechanic amongst the greats like Alfa Romeo and FIAT, to setting up a small shop and going to produce marveleous cars.Ferrari is a synonym for everything great in automotive industry, not a rich man's dream like DeLorean, Lamborghini or Porsche.Do you dare to dream?
Warning: Spoiler ahead.I've seen this film quite recently and enjoyed watching it.This is the story of Enzo Ferrari and his deep down emotions and pain even he isn't aware of. That's why his alter ego appears as a reporter and helps him to face himself.His sorrows and regrets come secondly in this movie because of the dream-like atmosphere and the music that creates a mythical world. I guess the director is really a big fan of Ferrari. It is good watching material but can't be a superb biography.Also I really liked the music.
Individual icon biographies always has this notorious reputation of being loosy and not focused. This one is definitely not.Having a brand as "Ferrari" in your hands might oppress your mind on cars instead of the soul. Carlo Carlei did a great job on what to emphasize, with a great act by Sergio Castellitto.As I can understand, this movie was based on a personal confession which doesn't involve Enzo Ferrari. I believe Piero Ferrari (his son) did his best of being honest while helping the writing credits, maybe too honest. But you can easily get the spirit of the challenge and the suffer for creating a glorious legend.A must see.------Might Contain Spoiler--------------I personally understood that the journalist character was the alter ego of Mr. Ferrari's after i checked the cast list on IMDb. They could have done a better job on that.------Might Contain Spoiler--------------One last thing to say is about the soundtrack of the movie. I wish there were some information about the scores and the composers. Great Job.
This is the story of Ferrari, his personal life and the way he started as a racing driver and then founded the Ferrari company.Yes, this story is about the famous Ferrari sports cars, about the men himself who made Ferrari what it is today.In the movie we see the old Enzo Ferrari tells the story of his life, his women, his children and the people he worked with.This movie is pretty good, just a bit too long at some parts.I'm a bit troubled with the way it ended, they should have done the ending more clear.Watch it if you like the Ferrari cars.
