Chariot of Fire: No chicken soup, run for yourself
I became attached to running because of a lesser-known Oscar-winning film, Chariots of Fire.
The encounter with him was purely accidental. More than ten years ago, a summer vacation in high school was extremely hot. An English-language program showed a clip of the film, a simple scene: an athlete runs down a country lane, passing by an old-fashioned British four-wheeler. The idyllic scene, like a clear spring, infiltrated my heart, moved me, and became the origin of my fascination...

People often say that everyone has ambitions, but ambitions are not created for no reason.
They run for their faith, for their nation, for their country, and for their inferiority complex
Good movies have good music, good actors, good directors, good stories, rich stories, good shooting techniques, and good actors' performances, but when people are under great pressure, they can't say those so-called chicken soup words. For sentimental people, they often take chicken soup as an...

Chariots of Fire: Exercise and Fitness Regain Confidence in White America
The film is set in post-World War I Britain, when British society was suffering from the agonizing impact of the First World War. This is exactly the same as the American society devastated by the Vietnam War. After suffering multiple blows at home and abroad, the white elite society in the United States is in need of some ways to improve their self-confidence and restore their glorious image.
So they chose sports, especially the Olympic Games, which symbolize...

There are no special effects, no gorgeous background sounds, stars, various elements, and even many people who have been brainwashed by American dramas naturally hint that the next scene should be back-to-back, side-by-side, high-intensity psychology and mouth guns. These elements are not there, like that racing car Story, full of desire, without feeling.
There is not even a basic moral judgment, that is to say, although there are only two focal characters, and even the focal characters...

Taking advantage of the east wind of the Olympic Games, there is a film source. In fact, this is not an inspirational movie, this is a sportsmanship movie. For the Chinese, the Olympic spirit means winning, it is the way to make a name for itself, and it is also the only goal. Even this single-minded desire to win in the movie is questioned whether it is true sportsmanship. Nations and beliefs, winning and participating, teams and individuals, it really isn't all about winning or losing the...

The word chariot of fire comes from the ascension of Elijah in the Bible, so the external form of the film is the Olympics, competition, and sports, while the core is the passion for faith, freedom, and life. As far as I am, I am an elite, and I should enjoy a healthy body, a well-known and strong knowledge, a sensitive and vivid artistic taste, an eternal freedom, a persistent and hard-working belief, and an unswerving belief. Love all beings, such as the life of Eric...

Didn't the Chinese write a book about Eric Liddell? . . // perfect Christian propaganda...

The reproduction of the classic soundtrack at the Olympic Games makes this film well-known. Although it is the best picture at the Oscars, it is far less wonderful than the...

Aubrey Montague: You're quite an advocate.
Harold M. Abrahams: Hey. A rare ethnic advantage. It's called the gift of the gab.
Sam Mussabini: So you've traveled 300 miles just to see me?
Harold M. Abrahams: You and Liddell. I'd heard you were both the best.
Sam Mussabini: And what do you think now?
Harold M. Abrahams: Eric Liddell? I've never seen such drive, such commitment in a runner. He runs like a wild animal. He unnerves me.
Sam Mussabini: So he should. Frightens the living daylights out of me.
Sybil Gordon: If you can't take a beating, it's for the best.
Harold M. Abrahams: I don't run to take beatings. I run to win.
