Peter Bradshaw, movie critic for The Guardian. He gets to review the movie Ford versus Ferrari. Now I get to review him. (I had a long diatribe about him here that I was going to publish but deleted it when I got to thinking the legal implications of any alleged slander/ libel if it ever came to light). Truth is always a defense but hey, why get to that point where you're pleading your affirmative defenses in court. So I'm going to let it go.
I think the film will have enough positive feedback to stand on it's own. It's intended to entertain you. It isn't intended to be Gospel to anyone.
Good film is art. I suppose bad film is art to, just bad art.
The ironic thing about art is that today you can think it's the worst bit of tripe ever conceived and tomorrow in a different light you can discover it and think it is genius? It's happen to me more then once.
Someone who misses the boat is at a loss to themselves. No one else. Critics should be more understanding and it would help if they were a little more tactful as well. It's the Guardians loss, not mine.
