Movie Reviews of Chariots of Fire
Movie Review: One of the greatest non-fiction tales ever made into film.
Summary: 5 Stars
Chariots of Fire is an exhilirating film, which was based on the lives of Eric Liddel, a Scotsman, and Harold Abrahams, an Englishman. Both were students in their respective countries and both were competing on the same 1924 Olympic team that was one of the best ever to represent the United Kingdom. The film brilliantly captures the vastly different goals the two had as they approached their olympic dream. Liddel, the devout Christian, running for the glory of God as he said, and Abrahams, the professionally-coached Cambridge man who relished individul glory. The film is at its best leading to the initial race between these two, but the drama continues as Abrahams becomes more determined and resolute subsequent to this showdown. The Olympic games proves to be a podium for international debate on religion, as Liddel takes a stand in the name of his faith which places intense poitical pressure upon him.For those unfamiliar with this bit of history, it would seem as though the story were indeed written for Hollywood- as the high drama is only slightly embellished. This film is truly one of the greatest, and will appeal to both sexes for its emphasis on the glory of sport and the strain of personal relationships and commitments.
