Beautiful movie about two men trying to prove something

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2010)

If you don't like this movie, then you don't get it. I had to watch this movie as a school project and thought it was amazing. To be able to get the real message of the movie, you have to dig deeper. When Eric Liddell says "God made countries, God makes kings, and the rules by which they govern. And those rules say that the Sabbath is His. And I for one intend to keep it that way." he is not insulting anyone, he is simply stating the fact that he himself wants to live by the laws. If you ever get in a situation where someone is trying to change you mind on a moral decision use the line "I intend to keep it that way." Also, Eric Liddell says " I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run I feel His pleasure." When you do some thin you love, do you feel God's pleasure. Try to feel it next time. Also, a reverend says "You can praise God by peeling a spud if you peel it to perfection. Don't compromise. Compromise is a language of the devil. Run in God's name and let the world stand back and in wonder." What he is saying is that you can honor God by doing simple things perfectly. Everything you do, doesn't have to be great. Do not compromise because it means you are giving in, and when you give in, it means you are falling away from what you believe. I will admit, the movie starts out kind of bland, but turns into a movie that, if you truly understand the meaning, can bring you to tears. Aubrey and Lindsay watched their friends die, watched the legends die. The movie is their remembrance of them. "Let us praise famous men and our fathers that begot us. All these men were honored in their generations and were a glory in their days. We are here today to give thanks for the life of Harold Abrahams. To honor the legend. Now there are just two of us - young Aubrey Montague and myself - who can close our eyes and remember those few young men with hope in our hearts and wings on our heels."
