A crap load of inaccuracies, but very enjoyable.

I did that last night with "The Last Full Measure".
I guess that's the nice thing about being an insomniac... it doesn't matter what time you need to be up, you'll be up. lol

Some of the biggest imo, include:
Enzo wasn't in attendance.
Fiat didn't beat Ford's offer or buy Ferrari until much later.
Shelby didn't take Ford for the ride in the GT.
Shelby didn't bet his company on the win.
The Ford exec never got locked in the office.
Ford engineers had a lot more to do with the development of the GT than they were given credit.

Thats typical for Hollywood - create the story so it fits what you want. The problem is they take it way to far and they get political or want to push an agenda or narrative that fits them... the movie was entertaining though.

"Based on actual events" is very similar to "the check is in the mail"

It's Hollywood what do you expect lol.

Anything to fit the narrative

Yep. Although Matt Damon did better at playing Shelby than I expected, a lesser known actor would have been more believable. Racing scenes were great (except for the drivers giving each other dirty looks while blasting down the straights). The rest was very Hollywood.

I thought Shelby should have been played by a taller more imposing actor...

Damon is a good actor, I thought he was a good fit for shelby personality wise.

Maybe not so much from a physical standpoint.

I enjoyed the main story however and it was mostly on target. Obviously little details and plot add ons are for dramatic effect.
