Ford vs Ferrari Movie Review ★★★★☆

Ford vs. Ferrari is the race drama, grounded on the real story of rivalry between two automobile power houses- Ford and Ferrari, battling out for the ultimate glory which in this case, is 1966 24 hours of Le Mans. Ford vs. Ferrari possesses the ethos of the race car driving era with adrenaline filled races, passion for being the one to break the world record and becoming triumphant. It is based on the real story of famous American car designer Carroll Shelby played by Matt Damon and British born race car driver Ken Miles played by Christian Bale, showcasing their journey together to build the fastest car to beat previous 4 times Le Mans winner “Ferrari”.

The chemistry between Matt Damon and Christian Bale is the main highlight of the whole movie. The love-hate relationship between them, their friendship and the bond they share drives major storyline of the movie. Matt Damon and Christian bale are best at their individual performance. Christian bale as a hotheaded loudmouth and Matt Damon as the rather cool and composed personality puts forth a commendable performances.

The cinematography is another good aspect of the movie, cinematographer Phedon Papamichael brilliantly presents the racing sequences which keeps us on the edge of our seats.

I felt that the movie shows the blatant exceptionalism of the great America portraying them as good and other side as bad. Regardless of the issue I really enjoyed watching the movie and in my view the movie is a must watch for car enthusiasts or even non-car enthusiasts. However, the length of the movie could be made more tighter, 2 hour and 32 minutes seems a bit too drag. Overall the movie is a must watch and I could see the movie lining up to the Oscars for supporting actor, director and cinematographer category. Ford vs. Ferrari is one of the best movies of 2019 and it will be placed in history with other memorable car racing movies like Rush (2013).

Uncut Gems Movie Review

Uncut Gems might be the greatest performance of all time for Adam Sandler. He is what you called at the pinnacle of his game. I didn’t expect something this serious and notable performance from him looking back into his filmography of comedy movies. The Safdie brothers create an engaging, nerve wrecking and gripping tale of betrayal and greed. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. The movie starts off with an in depth zoom of an big opal found on a Ethopian mines which further zooms out into the colonoscop y of Howard Ratner, a New York based diamond dealer played by Sandler, who is working his way to land himself a million dollar deal by auctioning the same black opal. The story progresses as Howard tries to balance his diamond business, dealing with loan sharks and his marriage. Does he succeed in making it big in the end? ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. The movie keeps you on edge of your seat with gripping plot twists in each corner. It is qui

How Quintein Tarantino directs suspense..

Quinten Tarantino gives us that art of suspense from the first scene of the movie. In this scene a German Nazi Jew Hunter “Hans Landa” is interrogating Monsieur “LaPadite”, a farmer. We can clearly see that Landa is a fluent in multiple languages, polite and well-mannered but all that are just a superficial traits to show others while deep inside he is a cruel and sadistic person. All these information by just showing us a simple conversation, what Tarantino often delivers well “Show, Don’ tell”. Here Landa, clearly exposes his purpose of visit that is here to search and hunt for Jewish family. During the initial conversation we are not certain of the interrogation and do not get fully immersed as it is rather uncertain from the body language and mannerism of LaPadite that he may or may not be giving refuge to any Jewish family. Now when the camera slowly pans to the underground shot of the hiding family, we now begin to experience the real tension. If you can hear properly befo
