There was also the back story with Mrs. Deuce being Italian, Ford wanting to by Ferrari and Enzo throwing him out of his office.

It was a different era back then

If you remember the US was in the middle of the Vietnam War 

It was shades of what we have now with MAGA vs the anti war movement 

The Cold War was in full bloom 

American flags on construction sites 

You name it

The  CanAm series was the thing 

I could go on and on

Bottom line Ford wanted to play on the international scene

And they thought is was like NASCAR 

Initially they got their ass handed to them at LeMans

But they eventually won it in 1968

It was Fords version of a moon landing!

Clyde,

You're right, I don't remember it, even though I was born well before it.  I am acquainted with the story, however.  It's not unknown, even among us "younger" racing fans.

But my real point was that I don't really care much for these bio-pics, where A- or B-list actors are recruited to play characters much, MUCH larger-than-life than they themselves are (Enzo, Shelby, Ford, etc.).  Christian Bale's attempt at whatever that accent was supposed to be seemed horribly fake.  Yes, it's not about accents, it's the story - but if the actors and characters are not believable or somewhat realistic, it's going to ruin the movie for me.  And don't even get me started on how horribly video-gamish the crash scenes looked!  Ugh....

Further what was not clear was if there was a position the film is attempting to take (i.e. Ford the "big bad guy" beating up on Ferrari the "underdog, the little guy"?  or a "pro-'murica rah-rah Ford for beatin' up on those durn furriners"?)?  Regardless, a position I'm pretty sure the film will NOT take is that it took a corporation with the might and bank account of FoMoCo to *finally* beat the tiny manufacturer Ferrari at their own game - and what that *really* says about each company!  (guessing this was your real point...  wink wink...)

Or, if I may quote our friend BHD, "I could be completely wrong...."

Thanks!

Most of you on this list

Don’t even remember or were even born when that battle took place!

It was 1968 at LeMans 

And Ford finally won it after Ferrari had beaten then many times .
