Well, if you were to speak to the drivers who raced for him (the few that are still alive), you might find a different perspective.  I haven't seen the movie yet, so I can't say how he was portrayed but, according to many, he was a very complex individual who demanded 110% and refrained from befriending his drivers because so many were killed driving his cars.

Here is another review independent of mine.  I fear that this movie is not going to make its money back.  That means more woke garbage from Hollywood which is a shame.  Maybe it will have a rebirth on the secondary market.

"Low she sits on five spoke wheels
Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Here's an interview that will be of interest:
https://youtu.be/MuH7G4N-dYU?si=EpKHpRaOVoafmsjA

Awesome Stan.

Just an FYI, no real Ferrari's were used in the movie, most of them were fiberglass bodies on Caterham 7 based chassis's  ;) Ford Duratec powered in most cases from what I understand  8)
according to the awesome interview linked above, there is at least one original $35,000,000 dollar Ferrari used in the film. I believe there is two. but they are not driving scenes. i have not scene the film yet but I do highly recommend the
"Making of video" it was the same guy they used in "Ford v Ferrari" now that guy has a great gig!!
