Review of On Wings of Eagles (2016) by Vincent L — 01 Jul 2016
As a movie lover, I frequently rely on movie critic and Academy Award performance to make a decision whether I would spend 2-3 hours on the selection.
The "Chariots of Fire" has remained as my best movie ever seen, of which I can see my life was and is inspired by the movie and Eric Liddell - 1924 Paris Olympics winner - missionary's dedicated life to this world.
Therefore I struggled a lot after seeing the movie review of SCMP of "The Final Race", the many unknown and re-discovered events of Liddell of his final race and life before the end of WWII.
Should I go watching even though this review is so bad?
I finally decided to watch this movie today.
After watching this movie, there are two things that I want to do strongly.
One, on the contrary, this near-epic movie was beautifully produced that I want to share with all my friends, despite the low attention.
Two, I want to refute and defend this movie! The SCMP movie critic has done a un-deserving and unfair review that leads me to question whether he has dome some documentary readings of the life of Eric Liddell in this "Chariots of Fire" sequel before he wrote. Is he aware that the director and a research assistant has spent years of research and interviews with many living witnesses in China, U.K., Canada to bring this movie to the spotlight, though some have been sporadically found in Chinese written books?
