^^^ Thanks for the detailed report!
We saw it with Christian Bale, Matt Damon, and the director and some of the cast in the balcony next to us. Movie got a standing ovation. Roy Thomson Hall was filled to the roof.Matt Damon played a passable Shelby. There were times he got the accent and voice just right. I closed my eyes and thought I was listening to Shelby giving a speech at a SAAC dinner. He's too short and we only knew Shelby as an old man, but I think I think he would approve. He had lots of balls in the air in '64 and '65 and they capture how he had to deal with all that. Some of the original crew can comment.I never met Ken Miles but from all I've read, Chritian Bale nailed it. He lost 70 pounds after his role in "Vice" to play on older, skinny British race car driver who did not suffer fools gladly. He must have spent a lot of time speaking to the Miles family.Leo Beebe is portrayed as the villain. We met him one year; I'm not sure if he gets a fair shake in the script but it makes a better story. Same with HF2 Ferrari etc. But they do tell the whole story about the attempt by Ford to buy Ferrari.The biggest mistake is everyone sits in Cobra fenders and hoods and jump over doors etc. which no one ever does but it looks cool. The audience howled when Shelby takes Ford for a ride in a Mk2. The racing scenes were fantastic.Yes I will see it again, I'm taking my team from work to see it and I'm buying the blu Ray version as soon as I can get my hands on it. It will make you all feel very proud. I wore my white and black"CobraCobra,Cobra shirt and everyone looked and pointed at my muttering in hushed tones. Dig yours out in November!
Did anyone ever notice Matt Damon's prophetic image in "Good Will Hunting" (1997) wearing a red Cobra jacket:https://www.spotern.com/en/spot/movie/good-will-hunting/61633/the-jacket-ford-red-of-will-hunting-matt-damon-in-good-will-hunting
How many days left?
The director mentions that the version of the film he likes best is 3 hours and 15 minutes long.How can I buy THAT version of the film.Also, showing this film at SAAC 45 will be a mandatory event.We had better book a big room with an even bigger screen!
How many days left, again??
