Scale 1=4, Scale 2=3, Scale 3=3, Scale 4=2

1966, Car Racing, Le Mans, Complex Relationships, Drama

 This was a total surprise to me and I was even more surprised in how much I enjoyed the story. Car racing? Me? But this film is so much more than a story about Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles and the 1966 Le Mans. It's a story about competition, taking risks, following a dream, doing the so-called impossible, and living every moment to the fullest. It's also a story about the complexity of friendship. Matt Damon and Christian Bale are great together. A very feel-good film.
