Five reasons to watch the new Ferrari movie

The new Ferrari movie hit Aussie shores in early January, drawing excited fans across the nation to nearby cinemas, armed with popcorn and drinks, ready to immerse themselves in the world of high-speed racing.

If you’re on the fence after watching the trailer and checking out the cast list and still need convincing, here are five compelling reasons why you should see the new Ferrari movie.

This film not only boasts stunning racing visuals but also features breathtaking shots of high-performance Ferrari vehicles speeding through picturesque Italian streets. Even if you’re not a die-hard racing enthusiast, we’re sure you’ll appreciate the wide-frame shots of the Italian countryside and city streets. 

As an automotive and motorsports lover, I know how important it is to brush up on your history now and then. So instead of picking up a book, secure a movie ticket. While this film delves into a specific year in Enzo Ferrari and the Ferrari brand’s history, it sheds light on the dedication and drive of the team and of Enzo Ferrari in creating high-performing race cars. We also gain insight into the impact of Enzo Ferrari’s relationships with his family, his town, on the company, its legacy, and his long-lasting impact on the brand.

If you haven’t noticed already, this movie has an all-star cast! Featuring Academy Award nominees and winners like Adam Driver and Penelope Cruz, talent like Shailene Woodley, and actor-racing driver, Patrick Dempsey, you can understand why there is so much hype around this movie. And while it’s interesting and slightly odd to hear these American stars lay on a thick Italian accent, their bold performances and commitment to each of the characters make for an enjoyable and satisfying film experience.

While we all admire Ferrari for its exquisite car creations and prominent role in the motorsports industry, this film provides an in-depth behind-the-scenes look at the work involved. From the conceptual stages to the intricacies of politics and the Italian media, risk assessments and the unwavering dedication of the entire team, the movie unveils the journey that has shaped the company into the automotive powerhouse it is today.

Prepare to leave the cinema with a newfound level of gratitude and appreciation for Ferrari and its dedicated workforce.

Often overlooked, sound effects can make a moment. From the crashes to the slow drives and roaring engines, the sound effects in this film are of exceptional quality. Trust me when I say, you’ll feel the roar of the race cars and high-speed vehicles in your body, adding an extra layer of intensity to the viewing experience.
