Excellent and encouraging

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024

This movie is encouraging in a time where we can so often be scared and ridiculed out of doing what is right.

Made running inspirational.

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2023

Verified Purchase

I put off watching this movie for a very long time ( I respect athletes, but running always seemed...... not interesting enough to make a movie about).

This movie feels more like a play than a "Hollywood movie"
It deals with serious subject matter (religion, national identity, teamwork)
no 'action scenes' or anything to make it more exciting.
The plot is told through character development.

The plot is, 2 British men (One Jewish and one Christian) go through their own character arc and the movie / play climaxes with them both running in the 1924 Olympics in France.
The movie can feel stuffy at times ( a group of elderly British men say "we are the committee", and one of the runners is shamed for hiring a trainer, seems like a small issue when here in the modern world we have steroids..... a really big no no).

This movie is best enjoyed by the type of audience member who thinks the best part of the movie is the subtle details. Each runner struggles with some inner turmoil ( their own world views and what they want) and competing as a runner. In the start of the movie we see a group of British men running on the beach with the movie theme playing ( I knew that song long before I saw the movie, as with most people). It showed the importance of having a common goal, despite our difference.

The sound track is made by Vangelis, same musician who made the sound track for the original Blade Runner.

I was conflicted if I should give this movie 4 or 5 starts. I liked it and now have a better appreciation for runners. However, I feel like if I had watched this movie in my 20s, I would have been bored. I had to mature and learn the appreciate subtle story telling to really appreciate this film.

Just a great movie

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2024

I liked the movie when it came out over 40 years ago and like it on blu-ray. The background music is great, especially if you can hook up your player to a Dolby equipped stereo receiver.

Despite it's staggering historical inaccuracies, this is a great film

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2024

Verified Purchase

Seriously, Harold and Sybil didn't even meet until 1934 and there are far too many other inaccuracies to mention. Still, it's a great semi-fictional film about a subject not generally covered.

As you watch this year's Olympic Games in Paris, return to the scene 100 years ago for another Olympics. This film is faultless in the costuming, sets, portrayal of REAL characters who participated in and influenced the first games in modern history following World War I. This is a grand story of character, ethics, and
determination as they run headlong into anitsemitism and moral priciple. And you will never forget the musical score!

J'adore ce film, même s'il n'est pas en 3D... je suis content d'avoir maintenant plus d'informations que par le passé. Je suis passionné, avec bien entendu la musique merveilleuse de ce film créée par Vangelis Papathanassiou

Film maar half kunnen bekijken

Reviewed in Belgium on February 27, 2024

Alles goed, tot over de helft van de film; alles blokkeert, op geen enkele manier mogelijk om film verder te bekijken
Bij nauwkeurig kijken is er waarschijnlijk een kras op de schijf; jammer
