Must See

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2004)

This one of my all time favorites. It is uplifting and inspiring. The musical score by Vangelis is superb. The development of the two main characters is richly done, and the secondary characters are well treated. I don't think I would have had the courage to do what one of the characters did. I did not see this movie until 4 or 5 years after it won the academy award for best movie. Then I read a review. "A movie about 2 British runners training for the 1924 Olympics. Sounds boring, right? Wrong! This is a must see movie." I took his advice, and I am forever grateful to that unknown reviewer. Thank you whoever you are. Obviously, I give this movie a richly deserved 10!
