How do you go about recreating a 24-hour auto race for a movie? If you’re the director James Mangold, meticulously.
His latest film, “Ford v Ferrari,” takes place in the mid-1960s as the Ford Motor Company is trying to come up with a car that can beat out Ferrari in the Le Mans auto race. The American executives bring on the car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and the driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale) to aid in that task.
This scene takes place at the beginning of the 1966 edition of the race as Miles is preparing. Narrating the sequence, Mangold said that he wanted to use the camera following Miles down a hallway and then out to the track as a technique to reveal the spectacle of the race, with overwhelming crowds and a heightened energy.
The race starts the same way Le Mans used to actually begin, with the drivers standing across the track from their cars, then running over and leaping into the vehicles before pulling out. Mangold said the moment, captured in one shot, was a challenge to coordinate but was important to give a sense of authenticity to the scene.
He said he shot as much of the action as possible with real cars and stunt drivers, using visual effects not as much for the racing moments, but more to populate the stands so the production wouldn’t need 20,000 extras each day.

Brilliant! And as he says you get more emotional when you see the film from the driver's point of view rather than the crowd. Well done James Mangold!
Shelby is the force behind the GT40 creation. Miles was one if the most accomplished drivers of the time. Even did a few races in F1 in a Lotus. Give respect fir their effort and accomplishments please.
Great movie however it will never get close to Rush.
All you need is a BFH = big___ hammer!
The video ended and I realized I didn't listen to a word the director had said
Para mi un peliculonnnnn por suerte la pude verrrr !!!!
Hit it with a bigger hammer, always works.
Ah …..Ford GT40…… the great American (actually British) Supercar ….I can't believe Ford or America even takes credit for it…..It's just Grand Theft Auto!
You ain't no Steve McQueen.

4:37 BLOODY DOOR WON’T CLOSE
I absolutely loved the movie and if I didn't have Taron Egerton and Leo as my favorites to win best actor, I would put Bale third. Adored his performance
As a driver myself I watched this movie on the big screen. keep in mind this is my favorite racing story and my dream car here. While watching the Daytona scene and the Le Man scene I felt as if I was in the car. I distinctly remember having the same look and feel i do when I am driving and after those scenes ended I literally had to take a breath just like real life and when that happened I kinda fell back in to the real world and then i realized I was almost sweating, my heart was beating and I had the largest smile on my face. I looked around at everyone in the room and just kinda sat there for a minute and sat back in my chair. I asked my dad later (he was there with me) and he said that i definitely looked intense, almost kinda stressed from the race. I have never been so immersed in to a movie. When he said how he tried to make it from the point of view of a driver, he did a fantastic job because I am a driver and I felt as if I was in the car and I won the race. It was amazing. I had a not so great season last year with lots of stupid issues that i dealt with so the scene with the door honestly made me feel a little better about my bad luck last season, and although I was not there, it felt great to experience what in my mind was a big moment after a kinda rough season. This is my favorite movie so thank you so much for making it.
I wasn't planning on seeing this, but the fact that the director of Logan is working with what is – by all accounts – another brilliant Christian Bale performance got me stoked.
Dear Fast and Furious franchise: this is how you make a car movie.

Ford v Ferrari is the best film I’ve ever seen, and car guy or not, it’s a must see. The acting is phenomenal, the storytelling is amazing, and everything overall is just perfection!
Loved it. Fine film. A little too much Hollywood but….
Too bad Enzo was in reality back in Modena, he occasionally went to monza for practice but never attended actual races. That’s why Ferrari’s lead driver john surtees left Le Mans after a row with team manager Dragoni, to have it out with the old man(Enzo) back at the Ferrari factory.
