This is a video montage of a movie called "Chariots of Fire (AKA 불의전차, 火战车, 炎のランナー)," which is my all time favorite movie. It was nominated for 7 Academy awards in 1981 and won 4 including Best Picture. This movie portrays two real life Olympians -- one Jewish English man named Harold Abrahams who is out to prove the world of his worthiness, and a Scottish man named Eric Liddell who humbly fulfils his Divine calling. I was fascinated by the contrast of two men's approach for the pursuit of the same goal -- participating in 1924 Olympics in Paris. Harold Abrahams compromises the unspoken rule at the time and hires a professional coach in order to win at the Oylmpics. Eric Liddell does not compromise his faith and withdraws from his best event, 100M, but participates in 400M and 200M, and wins the gold and bronze medals respectively. What fascinates me the most is about Eric Liddell, who is also known as Flying Scotsman. He leaves everything that he has achieved in the Olympics in order to become a missionary in China for the rest of his life. More than his achievements in the Olympics, his willingness to follow his Divine calling has impressed me the most throughout this movie. Thus I made this video montage to pay tribute to him and his faith.

Since there seems to be some debate about what this movie is about why dont we go outside ourselves and find a good old quote.
"Chariots of Fire is a 1981 British film loosely based on historical events surrounding the British athletic team before and during the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. The story follows Harold Abrahams, a Jew out to overcome prejudice, and Eric Liddell, a devout missionary running for the glory of God."

This theme is undoubtedly the most inspirational music to make people spontaneously start running in slow motion!
