The top sports movie in my heart appeared

This film is the autobiography of the British flying man Li Airui. It tells about his running career when he won the Olympic championship. The film has double protagonists and a master runner from Cambridge. It broke the 700-year school record of Cambridge. The two competed against each other. But the two sides went to the game with different attitudes. This film won 4 Olympic awards in total, and the theme song has become the usual repertoire of the Olympics. Later, after Li Erui won the championship, he returned to Tianjin to continue his preaching. When the Japanese invaded China, he was imprisoned in a concentration camp. Churchill was the first to save him and exchange terms with the Japanese, but Li Erui refused. In 1945, he was the first to save him. Died in a Japanese concentration camp. This movie is full of human brilliance. It not only has religious beliefs, but also reflects on the Olympics and sportsmanship. Why did you participate in the Olympics? Is it for winning or for sportsmanship? It can even be extended to life, why are we fighting? There was a scene in the movie that almost made me cry. When he was participating in the Olympics, he shared with each contestant, blessing others, cheering for others, because he was good at 100 meters, and the preliminaries were Sunday and Sabbath, but he refused. Running on the Sabbath, he changed to 400 meters, which he was not good at, and the spirit of getting into battle easily and trying his best to run made him the Olympic champion. The epitaph after his death read "God, give me a chariot that breathes fire, I will feel your joy while running", which is where the name of the movie comes from.

    The soundtrack is so classic that I can't get tired of it any more. Although the movie was the best picture at the Oscars, it seems to be lackluster now. There are big problems with the screenwriter's performance and editing. It looks more like a religious film in a sweatshirt to me. The two protagonists, even the rich second generation who won the silver medal, can make a movie alone. The result of mixing the three people together is that each of them is not well-made, and each story and character are superficial. But before watching this movie, I never knew that there was a missionary who won an Olympic gold medal and died in a Japanese prisoner of war camp in Tianjin. His story deserves a movie of his own.

Chariots of Fire quotes

  • Sam Mussabini: Eric Liddell? He's no real problem...

    Harold M. Abrahams: [Eric has already beaten Harold once] You could have fooled me.

    Sam Mussabini: Yeah, he's fast! But he won't go any faster. He's a gut runner, digs deep! But a short sprint is run on nerves. It's tailor-made for neurotics.

  • Sam Mussabini: Do you want to know why you lost today?

    [Harold nods]

    Sam Mussabini: You're over striding.

    [Sets coins in a row]

    Sam Mussabini: Now these coins represent the steps in your sprint.

    [Pushes coins together]

    Sam Mussabini: Can you find me another two coins, Mr. Abraham?

    [Harold looks up]

    Sam Mussabini: Remember, over striding. Death for the sprinter

    [shakes his head]

    Sam Mussabini: . Knocks you back.

    [Slaps Harold across the cheek. Harold winces]

    Sam Mussabini: Like that!

    [Slaps Harold again]

    Sam Mussabini: And that!

    [Sam laughs and grabs Harold by the arm]

    Sam Mussabini: .
