Review of Chariots of Fire (1981) by Jameson W — 08 Jun 2011
Very good film! A very solid sports films that compares to some of the best of its genre. This Oscar winner for Best Picture is a movie that is often regarded as one of the least deserving of past recipients of the award. I can't say whether I agree or disagree with that, but I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed every second of the movie.
A thing that I really liked about the films was that it's about Track. There are so many football, boxing, basketball movies, but this is the only film about running that I have ever seen. The track meet scenes and the Olympic scenes were very nice and intense.
I also loved the appearance of the film. It was very authentic looking. The settings, costumes, buildings.....the film really looked like 1920's England. I still can't believe this film came out in the early 80's!
I really liked this film. It's not the best film I have ever seen, but I'm more than thrilled to have been able to watch it. I recommend it!
