    I'm going to watch the movie (for the forth or fifth time) "Ferrari" tonight. I never met the man in the flesh, and don't know anyone who has. And anyone who has, only met the Ferrari that Ferrari wanted them to meet. For me, the movie reveals what I think could be very true about who and how he was is his personal and professional life. And I think it is a great tribute to him, warts and all.

    Boy is Ferrari a wonderful film. In a more honest time it should have swept the Oscar's. Driver and Cruz have such wonderful moments, alone and together. The scenes with Cruz at the bank and at the cemetary...and when she visits the mistresses house and steal the child's toy. The old woman who played Enzo's mother...her scenes with Driver and Cruz...her face and size and walk are alone worth an Oscar. The scene with the opera and all the characters visions during it...the primitive world of racing back then, the garages, the simple ways the cars were being built, the timing using stop watches, the sly business rivalry between Orsi and Enzo, the scenes where Ferrari and Elena set the dining table or do the dishes, Enzo's reliving his race days at he drives his Peugeot 403 and when he talks to his drivers at lunch. This is a movie about the passion of racing...it has an enormously better story than F1, and it doesn't need the bling and BS and Brad Pitt to sell it. Sadly it was overlooked for movies like Barbie...such is the nature of Hollywood today.

    I just received the latest issue of Magneto. This quarter’s “50 Best” was car films. Inexplicably Ferrari didn’t make the list. I don’t think it’s as good as you do, but I would have had it around #20. They picked the right #1, though…..Frankenheimer’s Grand Prix.
