It’s been a long time since I stopped to watch a movie. Chariots of Fire was downloaded to my computer after watching the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. I know it has something to do with the Olympic Games. After reading it, those names are still haunting my mind - Harlow, Reed, Lindsay.
Unlike the contemporary wave of learning Jewish wisdom, Jews were discriminated against until the beginning of the twentieth century, even in genteel Britain, from his first day of enrolment to an argument with a dormitory administrator, a prince before the Paris Olympics The words of condolences to the athletes can be seen. Harlow has always wanted to find an opportunity to prove himself and change his despised fate, so he attached great importance to the Olympic gold medal, and all his efforts were directed towards the gold medal. If Reed on the track believed in God, Harlow believed in success. He found an "unpopular" professional coach, and he continued to train even in the face of pressure from the school. His inner desire for success overcame all external obstacles, and even his girlfriend couldn't stand his ruthlessness and ruthlessness. Harlow's behavior is in line with the characteristics of competitive sports. If it is not for the first to cross the line, all efforts will be in vain; only by pursuing excellence can you win honors for yourself. In the end, he succeeded, the coach is happy, his girlfriend is happy, and he is half happy and half lonely to achieve his goal!
Reed, a missionary from Scotland, participated in the Olympic Games. On the one hand, he wanted to win honors for the church, so that the majority of the church members could unite around the church; Unlike Lowe, Reed on the runway was smiling, and those moments were the closest he was to God. In order to train, he had to let go of the work of the church, but it never let go of his faith in God. He refused to compete on the Sabbath. Between loyalty and faith, he chose faith without hesitation and won the respect of his opponents. Reed's bravery and perseverance brought him success, and more people shared his success and shared the persistent belief. Although Lin Xi did not win the gold medal, he can be found in the gold medals of Reed and Lorraine, and his contribution cannot be ignored.
The degree to which the University of Cambridge attaches importance to sports is completely different from that of domestic universities. As the school said: Cambridge has always been proud of its outstanding sports performance. We firmly believe that sports are an indispensable part of British education. Sports can exercise personality, cultivate courage, honesty and leadership, and most importantly, can cultivate firmness. Shifting loyalty and friendship and a sense of responsibility to each other. Thinking about it, it is indeed the case. When we are sweating profusely, it is also the time when we let go of our inner prejudices. People open up and communicate better. Sports is not only an important part of physical fitness, but also an indispensable part of training personality.

Chariots of Fire quotes

  • Harold M. Abrahams: Gentlemen, you yearn for victory just as I do. But achieved with the apparent effortlessness of gods. Yours are the archaic values of the prep-school playground. You deceive no one but yourselves. I believe in the pursuit of excellence - and I'll carry the future with me.

  • Lord Birkenhead: You Americans have a number of men who are rated as world-beaters; but, this contest is in Europe, not in the rarefied climes of the United States.
