  • True story of the 1924 Olympics. Eric Liddell disqualified himself from the 100 meters because he wouldn't run on the sabbath. A teammate gave up his spot in the 400 meters so that he would have a chance at a medal on another day.

    "I believe God made me for a purpose and He made me fast!" This passage is so moving, especially the last part when he puts his head back (2.37) and runs as the real Eric Liddell ran. I think Ian Charleson did a great job there. But I don't think he portrayed the real Liddell's warmth and humanity, as attested in his biography, in everyday life.

      Funny you should say that. Cos this sequence , from when he gets the letter from Schulz through Eric's theme, Jerusalem and the main theme, are the most unfailably moving for me in any film, ever, but it still always pulls me out of the moment seeing them reuse the same bloody shot from when he's watching Eric run in Scotland at the beginning.

    • @MrKarlozz

I know he was a sprinter and I am a distance runner..still it was awesome.

    Eric Liddell gave up his life to others. "Man is he who forgets his own interests for the sake of others.His own comfort he forfeits for the well-being of all. Nay rather his own life must he be willing to forfeit for the life of mankind." -‘Abdu’l-Bahá

      @deniseeulert5220 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      And he also had time to practise for the 400m race. The character who gave up his place in that was a composite.. And his sister wasn't there. In spite ofthis it's one of my top ten favorite movies ever. Liddell did give up his life for others, he did love to run, and that's all good.

    • @gezzarandom
      @gezzarandom 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Plus the story of both Abrahams and Liddell after Paris 1924 was also a compelling story. Abrahams was reporting for the bbc from Berlin 1936, two rows away from Hitler and Liddell's time in China was pretty eventful to say the least.

    TRIVIA: That chant of USA... USA... USA... was NEVER said before until 1979...and made popular during the 1980 Miricle on Ice Hockey Team. And when did this film come out? 1981. So you know what event inspired the producers to put that chant in the movie. Its historically inaccurate to hear that chant in 1924

    @Wesley_Peter_Redmond ปีที่แล้ว

    Just so you know, in the video's info it says Liddell would not run on the Sabbath, but that is incorrect. He would not run on Sunday because he was a Christian; the Sabbath is Saturday, and is observed by Jews not Christians.

    There are many people who --didn't-- have faith in God and yet succeeded. What do you say about them? Harold in this movie was somewhat closer to it - he didn't need God to succeed - sure he had an uphill task building the confidence - but he did succeed in the end.
    The problem is not with people like Eric here who use their faith in God as a means of achieving extraordinary things. Problem is with those who have faith in God but do condemnable things.
