Chariots of Fire - I saw Chariots years ago when it first came out, but Peter had never seen it, and his track coach recommended it to the track athletes as an example of this year's motto, which is "tough it out". It takes place in the early 1920s, and is the story of Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell, and the sacrifices they make in order to run. They end up being team mates at the 1924 Olympics in Paris. It's a beautiful movie to watch; Abrahams and Liddell run for different reasons - and they are the fastest men in the British Empire. When they get to the Olympics, they are up against the Americans, including two who are known to be the fastest men in the world. It's a true story, and simply told, the winner of the 1981 Oscar for Best Picture. A little Wiki research rounds out the story of each man's life in its entirety.Saturday, March 5, 2011
