"Fire Chariot" plot introduction and film review


The story introduces the film's success in business and commentary, which has brought signs of recovery to the UK film industry, which has been in the doldrums for a long time in the 1980s, and brought in the investment and distribution of British films by major US studios. The critics believe that the film caters to the British nostalgia for retrospective history. When director Hugh Hudson spoke about the theme of the film, "We need a social norm, otherwise we will get rid of it from an individual or a collective perspective." In a sense, the narrow understanding of competition, race, religion, and country that is opposed in the film is the social norm at that time. Such a demand is undoubtedly in line with the mainstream standards of social morality in the United States and Britain. Of course, the film's play is relatively complete, and the slow-motion filming of the game plot has a certain influence on the type of film that has a sports plot. The film has won four awards including the 1981 Oscar for Best Picture.

Film review

On the 1st floor, I remember when I was in college. I used to hate running in the physical education class. After reading it that day, I actually stayed in the lead position like a medicine. Haha, maybe I want to experience it at the time. Experience the closest feeling to God.

Any belief in the 2nd floor can give strength.

Two athletes, one Jewish Harold Abrahams, who struggled to prove himself against the disregarded Jewish identity, succeeded and won the 100-meter Olympic gold medal; in order to realize his dream, he even ignored the Dean of Cambridge University. The warning was hired by a professional coach.

The other is Christian Eric Liddell, who gave up the 100-meter race on the Sabbath for God. Even for the Olympics, he can't give up his faith. At the time, the whole British had accused him, including the British prince who led the team at the time. He gave up his best 100 meters and ran 400 meters that he had never ran. He also won the Olympic gold medal. He is desperate for the glory of God.

Eric Liddel ran two rounds of preliminary and finals in the 200m race and the 400m preliminaries before the 400m final, and won a bronze medal on the 200m, which is the first time the Scots have won medals on the 200m project. Before joining the 400 meters, everyone was not optimistic about him, because his body was extremely tired at that time. However, before the starting gun was fired, someone gave him a note. The note reads: "The book of the ancient truth says: 'Respect me, I will value him. 'I wish you always win." Words, exactly what he needs now! Before running 400 meters, what he said to his companions was: "I hope we can meet after the game is finished." Almost with the conviction of running to run. When the starting gun rang, Liddel rushed out. In the first 200 meters, he only used 22.2 seconds. This speed has already won the 200-meter championship. No one used this speed to run 400 meters! In the end, Liddel won the 1924 Olympic 400-meter race gold medal with a world record of 46.7 seconds, exceeding the second place by more than five meters. In the film, during the 400-meter run, Eric Liddel's shot in the wind is very touching.

He is a man who dares to be a courageous person. After winning the Olympic gold medal, he arrived in Tianjin, China. Later, when Japan invaded China, it was imprisoned in the Weifang concentration camp for rebelling against Japanese atrocities. Before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it was unfortunate that it died of brain cancer in a concentration camp.

This film can take Oscar, more because the film is about the greatness of "spiritual power" or "belief." The whole film has a relatively slow rhythm, and the scene switching is also scattered. It is not enough to express the inner world of the character, because the director has to leave a lot of scenes to the sports game. But the story told is really touching. Score 9 points.

In fact, there is another character who is equally cute. He is the clown in "The Dark Knight". He also lives for the faith in his heart. Although his faith is dark, his determination to sacrifice for his faith has also stunned many people.

Faith gives strength, no matter what the belief is, whether it is dark or bright, hehe!
