Movie Reviews of Chariots of Fire (Full Screen Edition)
Movie Review: Great movie with a story that makes you think.
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is about several Olympic level runners and the different ways they approach running and life.
It is a movie that is not only entertaining but also thought provoking.
If you want mindless entertainment then this is not the film for you.
But if you want substance presented in an entertaining way then I believe you will enjoy this movie.
One the the greatest movies of all time in my opinion and certainly one worth watching.
Would have preferred both full screen and wide screen versions included on one dvd, but this one is full screen.
Summary of Chariots of Fire (Full Screen Edition)
The come-from-behind winner of the 1981 Oscar for bestpicture, Chariots of Fire either strikes you as either a cold exercise in mechanical manipulation or as a tale of true determination and inspiration. The heroes are an unlikely pair of young athletes who ran for Great Britain in the 1924 Paris Olympics: devout Protestant Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson), a divinity student whose running makes him feel closer to God, and Jewish Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), a highly competitive Cambridge student who has to surmount the institutional hurdles of class prejudice and anti-Semitism. There's delicious support from Ian Holm (as Abrahams's coach) and John Gielgud and Lindsay Anderson as a couple of Cambridge fogies. Vangelis's soaring synthesized score, which seemed to be everywhere in the early 1980s, also won an Oscar. Chariots of Fire was the debut film of British television commercial director Hugh Hudson (Greystoke) and was produced by David Puttnam. --Jim EmersonArt House & International DVD Video
