Ferrari

Ferrari’s ending reveals a mix of personal sacrifice, unresolved loyalties, and the ongoing legacy of Enzo Ferrari. Throughout the film, we see Enzo struggling to save his racing team and family business, torn between his relentless ambition and the crumbling state of his personal life. The climax builds around the tragic Mille Miglia race, where driver Alfonso de Portago’s reckless decision to push his car without proper pit stops results in a catastrophic accident that claims lives, including innocent spectators. This tragedy casts a dark shadow over Enzo’s success, leading to legal charges and public scrutiny. However, the charges against him are eventually dropped, as it is determined that the accident was caused by a roadside reflector, not negligence.

At the same time, the film explores the fractured relationship between Enzo and his wife Laura. She discovers that Enzo has been hiding a secret family in Castelvetro, including a son, Piero, with a woman named Lina Lardi. This revelation devastates Laura, especially given the grief over their late son Dino, and intensifies their personal rift. Yet, Laura’s final act of love and sacrifice is to loan Enzo the money she received from selling her shares—a gesture meant to support his troubled company and career. She requests that, as a condition, Enzo never give Piero the Ferrari surname, a symbolic protection of Dino’s memory and her own grief.

In the end, even amidst familial pain and public scandal, Enzo maintains his connection to his new family, still involved with Lina and Piero. The movie closes on a touching scene of Enzo with a young Piero, hinting at future hope. After Laura’s death, Enzo revives his bond with his son Piero, who eventually becomes Vice Chairman of Ferrari. The film’s conclusion reflects the complex interplay of love, ambition, identity, and legacy, leaving viewers with a poignant look at how personal and professional lives intertwine in the shadow of greatness.}
