Review of Chariots of Fire (1981) by Mike N — 19 Aug 2010
Not the most impressive of Best Pictures, but there are certainly some very good things. Great performances (enjoyed Ian Holm and Ian Charleson immensely), nice, albeit adequate direction and a resounding score (which kinda gets in the way now) make it worth watching at least once.
(I'll admit it's good, but it's not one I'm drawn to like some other BP's.)And, no matter how you feel, this has got to be maybe the only mainstream film in which Christianity has not been presented in a didactic fashion (negative or positive).
Shows that a man can be willing to sacrifice for his beliefs even when it hurts not only him, but his country.
