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.

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.
