Excellent, a Must See
There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.
View MoreIf you want a movie about Ferrari who better to hear it from than Italians themselves,in fact this movie is an Italian production. It shows how Enzo Ferrari started the company which nowadays build the best cars in the world. The movie is narrated through an interview of an aging Enzo Ferrari has with a reporter. He goes through the sacrifices,joys and sorrows he had to pass through since he was a child to realize his dream. Sergio Castellito plays a magnificent part as Enzo. If you love cars (and Ferraris) do not miss this one.It is a joy seeing the Old cars, Fiat , Alfas and Ferraris racing in this flick.A Must for Car lovers
View Moreto be honest, this is one of those movies you just come across on TV and watch it just to kill some time.at least, it was that way for me during the first couple of minutes but then i realized it was more about the man behind the cars.enzo ferrari is one of the most powerful figures for racing and one doesn't become as powerful for no reason and this movie is all about him.people who want to see lots of cars and technical stuff shouldn't watch this movie but there is the struggle of a man trying to create a company that will eventually become a legend.
View MoreI'll admit it, I haven't been watching too many films lately. When I picked up the Enzo Ferrari DVD, I was expecting it to be a brilliantly expressive foreign Italian film (in Italian) with subtitles. Cameo appearances of his cars would be desirable but optional, and above all, I wanted quality.The storyline itself winds through Enzo's life well enough, but there's certain details there that I wish hadn't been omitted, for instance, the origins of the Prancing Horse logo, how he felt about his customers, his relationship with Fangio and so on. The narration via the reporter is clever, and charged with emotion.There was, in a number of points, too much background music was playing where was meant to be key dialogue elements that were frequently lost. At times the fake Italian accents broke into American ones. The film I got was in English! Not that I understand Italian myself, but when a film whose soul and emotion is quintessentially Italian is transcribed in a foreign language, the magic is lost in translation. Imagine passing off The Last Samurai as a bonafide Japanese film, and you will get my drift.No comment on acting, it was good but all in all I expected better.
View MoreIndividual 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.
