I can see that I am not going to be a fan of Hannah Elliot? I will contribute a gallon of gas for her to burn her bra with though. Does she even need a bra?
I have but 2 questions....1) How old is Hannah ?.....2) Does she drive a....PRIUS ?... :o
Check out the reader comments to the article. I went about 6 pages deep and didn't find one that agreed with her.
She has a twitter page.It would seem that she may be representing herself as an automotive journalist?
Calling this all macho bul lshit doesn't endear her to me. It's not easy for me being a mach A-H. It does seem to come easily to me though?
Hanna is the epitome of her generation's ignorance. Buried near the end is this gem:
"Today car companies face difficult questions about brand identity and mobility–concepts they've never had to contemplate before now."
Daffy Duck* Bugs Bunny may have said it best - "What a maroon!"

Gynocentric rubbish. She's upset because it's a man's movie that shows it like it is. There are more than enough movies out there that are female driven. Men should be able to have our own as well. Think original Predator, First Blood, The Terminator, Dirty Dozen, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Bullitt, Dirty Harry and so on. Let it go sweetheart. It's a movie about men accomplishing things in the automotive world. Besides that was how it was back then. There were no females in the pit crews changing out tires back then. Same holds true today. And any odd exception out there does not invalidate the rule. There are some fast women drivers and I don't begrudge that. I think it's great. But there aren't many.

You mean she drums up controversy by making false statements to get ratings? Hum! I hate getting sucked in! It's so easy to.
I got sucked in to believing that the Mets, Jets, Giants, Knicks, Rangers, Islanders, and Devils all would be good this year. I should have know better? ;) Thanks for the tip!

The world has always been filled with stupid people. That's nothing new and is certainly part of the problem. It isn't necessarily just a US phenomenon.
It was common for me to hear in school, "are you part of the problem or part of the solution?" I'm afraid to think about that now. I might not like the answer? :o

"Ford v Ferrari is beautifully shot, rousing, inspiring, moving, funny, 100% American, and brilliantly acted. Using theme and appealing characters, it has much to say, not just about how conformity and corporatism crush the individual spirit, but about our shared human condition; that thing within all of us — men and women alike — to strive, to overcome, to be your own man at all costs — and yes, there is a cost... but yes, that cost is worth it."
AMERICA !
Completely ridiculous. That's 5 minutes I'll never get back.
Its better to have been a RACER for a few minutes... Then a SPECTATOR for a lifetime, It has to be experienced it cant be explained. ;)

WOW, got about halfway through and just couldn't take anymore!!
My wife is very pro female, we have spirited discussions!
However, she was a big wig with Chase bank and liked to promote women first until she came across some bad female apples. We talked about that. I told her to scrap that way of thinking and take the best qualified for for the position. She scoffed at me initially....until I needed a painter in my resto shop....a good looking girl applied. My wife had strong words for me, saying she is a shoe in because her cup size. My reply was I could care less who or what they are as long as they can do the job! (She turned out to be a great asset to the shop and actually could lay color down like glass!) I used it as a great example to my wife and she has opened her eyes a little more to true equality.
Hannah sounds like one of those women who would rather bitch and complain about how things are and not put forth effort to step up and better herself and make good for the collective. What a waste of energy sniveling about the past. With an attitude like hers, she will be left behind.
This may have been posted on Forum 1.0, but it's worth another read. It's from a Lake Tahoe magazine.

I have met more than a few feminists who are all about womanly love and support.............until they run into another woman who is significantly more attractive.
Then it's game-on 👿
^^^ HA! YES!!! That knocks the wind out of their sails pretty damn fast!!
If you don't like a movie preview, don't go to the movie.
If you don't like guns, don't buy one.
If you don't like income disparity, get another job.
If you don't like Capitalism, move to a country that doesn't have it.
God Bless America.
Wow, she says the movie doesn't have enough diversity. That could be fixed. How about they reshoot the leads with Jackie Chan as Ken Miles and Chris Tucker as Carroll Shelby? I could see that working. :o

Nope, Chan and Tucker are straight (I think).

... and don't bother writing an absurd review
Also interesting that this "person"(?) selects one paradigm ("only straight white men") while the NPR review starts with:
In a deliciously digressive sequence of the rollicking Ford v Ferrari, Mollie (Outlander's Caitriona Balfe), the otherwise supportive wife of test car driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale), treats her husband to a taste of his own medicine after he unilaterally takes what ought to have been a joint family decision. Exasperated, Mollie propels Ken into a hair-raising speed-ride through hairpin bends in the staid family car...
GREAT MOVIE... I had the pleasure of watching the movie and had an array of different emotions. After watching I learned what really happened back in the day and was appalled how the Corporation did things. Having both family and friends working for FORD motor company at that time it made me think how some decisions are made. Having the ability to see things from both sides, as I was one of the guys that were hands on with the tools for design and construction of different projects in an entirely different field. I also had the fortune to be one of the SUITS to see and do things, sitting in the captains seat of corporate AMERICA. Watching the movie with the wife, particularly the scene at the end when MILES was told to slow down... She turned to me and asked what would you have done? It was such a thought provoking question that I didn't know how I would have handled it. When racers line up to race they race to win not play into corp. semantics, bottom line on this story line is if you cant put food on the table you will do things a little differently like the SUITS told him to do. :'( KEN was the best driver at that time and needed to be treated as such. Corporate wants what they want, and when men and women dedicate their lives to the cause they should be treated accordingly. Back to family and friends at FORD MOTOR CO. They were treated the same way they treated (Miles) only they wore the suits and were the YES SIR men. Carma paid a visit to them later in life for all the things they said and did to all those below them, they reflect they should have done things differently. Life is not always fair.

I saw it for a second time today with a car bud of mine. When I saw it last Saturday at 3:20pm in IMAX the theater was about 1/4 full. I figured that was about right for a 60's car movie. Today at a 3:30 showing (no IMAX this time) and the theater was over 1/2 full.
I think the word is out on how good a show it is.
QSS
I just saw the movie for the third time, and it does NOT lose its flavor for me.
Sold out at 7:30 last night in Toronto at the VIP.
Another review of the film.
