    I realize this has been discussed before, but I thought it is such an important topic, that I wanted to repeat it:

    YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!

    An absolute must for any serious Tifoso. This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. And I'm a pretty brutal movie critic, I rarely hand out 4 Stars (I think the last really good movie I saw "Master and Commander"), but this baby deserves it. And even if it were not a good movie, the subject itself makes it a must.

    I just rented it on Netflix btw. I got goose bumps in the opening scenes Michele Alboreto test driving the Ferrari F1 at Imola while the old man was watching with a stop watch (all persons played by actors of course).

    The movie so reminded me of another all time great for Tifosi: La Passione

    Very similar style and topic. The whole movie is shot like a work of art. Every scene looks like a classic oil painting. And as far as I can tell from the books I read about the man, they pretty much got it right.

    Anyway, nuff said, go rent the movie.

    It is an amazing movie and I'm stunned not more people know about. Heck, I didn't know about it until a couple of weeks ago.

    IT IS A MUST SEE FOR ANY FERRARI FAN!

    Since a few folks on here have seen it, how about a collection of mistakes they made?

    Here a couple:
    a) Between the unsuccessful deal with Ford and the successful deal with Fiat was IMHO much less time than ten years (as stated in the movie). I think it was more like 4-5 years.

    b) I think the titanic battle at Dijon between Gilles and Arnoux ended with Rene winning it, not the other way round. Correct?

    I know very little about the WWII years, but thought Enzo was actually manufacturing parts for Fascist Mussolini (as he would have, being Italian in Italy). In the movie the Nazis give him a roughing up, which surprised me. For what? He was already "on their side". Also is there any historical authenticity behind the German Nazi officer being one of the German drivers in the pre war race? Just curious.

    But don't get me wrong, I'm just nitpicking here. The movie is great.

    Even though the Italians were part of the AXIS powers as far as the Germans were concerned anyone or anything that was not German was seen as Inferior.

    Just watched it last night.

    Enjoyable, but I guess I wanted more scenes w/ cars, less scenes with his kids/wife/girlfriend!

    I would have to admit thought that since this is a biography, the moviemakers did a good job of depicting his life......

    Don't know about the driver bit, but as for History Mussolini's government was extremely eager to grow and their leader a bit of a head case ( naturally, he sided with Hitler! ) Surprisingly, there are small blurbs or historically correct matter in some Hollywood films about the Itlaian/German relationship ( the two officers in Casablanca, Capt. Correlli's Madolin. ) But for true facts, hit the history books.

    In one work Im reading at the moment about Italian Air Marshall Italo Balbo, it states numerous times that the Duce was a recluse that latched on to ideas and through memos officiated his command. He latched on to the rise of Germany because keep in mind, in WWI Italy was on the winning side and thought certain rewards would come about from it, such as the exploitation of Africa. Exploitation south was something Germany favored and helped Italy withdrawl out of Ethopia over. But then again, how much faith would Germany have over Italy since they had to bail them out of trouble? These Africa conquests did not happen to the extend Italy though it would after a victorious WWI but did happen when talks with Germany commenced. When Italy signed the Blood and Steel act, it was with bitter taste because the watch each other's back pact telegraphed that Germany would be an aggressor anyway, leading Italy into war like it or not. So how eager would Italians be in a war initiated with no hesitation by their "partners."? Their aid to the Germans during the Spanish Civil War sealed the deal against the Allied powers as the enemy. Keep in mind, Italy did not declare war on Britain till the Germans were at the Channel, so thoughts of 'where were your troops at the begining' Im sure swelled in the German minds and caused tension... there was never a real solid love for fighting Germans and Italians: their entrance into battle, their motives, even their equipment and men always came into play. Germany was a big bully, Italy the crafty little brother whose gun would show up at odd times as quick as a wanting hand would too.

    Gilles won the battle, but not the race. Arnoux and Villeneuve were battling for second place. Arnoux's team-mate (can't remember who it was) won the race, although nobody was watching him!

    Regarding the Enzo Ferrari movie, I have an extra copy. (I bought a collection of literature and videos from a guy in San Jose, and I'm going to sell off the stuff that duplicates what I already own.) Anyone who's interested can send me a private email.
