Review of Chariots of Fire (1981) by Jack W — 28 Apr 2009
The story is inspirational and there are many formal elements to the film that are done very well. that said, how in the world this film deserves the Best Picture Oscar over Raiders is something that will forever remain a mystery.
two final points. the score did NOT match this film and threw me off completely and the iconic scene (where the score works) is in the first five minutes of the film. ??? do not understand at all.
