A marvelous film

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 1999)

I have seen this film countless times and every time I do I fall more in love with it. Besides the wonderful story line paralleling Harold Abraham and Eric Liddel's lives, the way the competition is portrayed between the two athletes is what gets me the most. Being an ex-track runner, I can somewhat relate to the way they feel walking up to the starting line, the pressure and the nervousness, and the wanting to win. Vangelis' score is phenomenal, and I highly recommend this film to anyone who likes really good movies.
