Henry Ford II


At the beginning of the move, Henry makes a comment about his grandfather "ruminating". That was the original Henry Ford.

Later, Ferrari says he is not Henry Ford. He is Henry Ford II.

If Henry Ford was his grandfather, why is he Henry Ford II and not Henry Ford III?

reply

Because his father's name wasn't Henry, it was Edsel. So the grandfather was Henry Ford I and he was Henry Ford II. One of his sons was Edsel Ford II.

reply

I see. Kinda like (King) Henry VII was not the son of (King) Henry VI?

reply

Precisely.

You’re not a very smart person.

reply

That from someone calling himself "MrMovie". Lol

reply

Not sure what that would have to do with an intelligence. It’s a nickname on a movie site.

reply

Because calling yourself bistritapcv is better.

I don't see any reason to insult someone who is asking a question. He wasn't disrespectful or throwing ad hominem accusations at anyone.

reply

Because it’s a troll post

reply

Why? Its not impolite. Its not a firebomb. Its a question. He didn't realize that there was an Edsel between the two Henries. Completely reasonable. Everyone doesn't know every fact of history.

Okay and let’s starting making posts asking what’s 2+2.

I've spent 3 days, on and off, considering how to respond to this. Quite simply I don't see any way to answer such an arrogant, supercilious and mean-spirited point of view.

I hope that your omniscient self is quite happy as I cannot comprehend how you can have friendly relations with us mere mortals who, regardless of how educated we may be, do not share the quality of omniscience.

Wow that’s sad

reply

It is. For you.

reply

I guess you are both losing this argument, fellas.

reply

Really? My argument is that people who ask questions in a respectful manner deserve respect in return and an answer in if one is available.

MrMovies's argument is that people who ask questions in a respectful manner deserve ridicule and dismissal of their inquiry.

Which do you think is the correct argument?

reply

I’m backing you, Costume guy. Your posts that I’ve seen have always struck me as being both reasonable and mature, 2 qualities that are very rare in the internet world, which is rife with immaturity, snark and arrogance. And I know that YOU actually know what the verb “to arrogate” means😊

reply

Thanks. I don't always succeed, but I try.

reply

I actually had the same question so not sure why you'd assume it's a troll post.

reply

Because he's the real troll.

reply

Bingo.

I'm gonna jump in here and stop you right there. Damnit, waht wuz eye gun saye????
