- 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 think the most inspiring, clean, heroic, and entertaining film I have ever seen. This film will ALWAYS be a classic.
Len Hummel well-said
Honoror God you honor yourself to help everyone
11 yrs after agree 100% .👏
Absolutely agree!
The most memorable score ever in a movie. The movie itself was a masterpiece!
This Film IS still a master piece!!
More than forty years later it’s is still the best film of my lifetime.
RIP Harold Abrahams (December 15, 1899 - January 14, 1978), aged 78
RIP Eric Liddell (January 16, 1902 - February 21, 1945), aged 43
RIP Ben Cross (December 16, 1947 - August 18, 2020), aged 72
RIP Ian Charleson (August 11, 1949 - January 6, 1990), aged 40
You will be remembered as legends
Sport was more than just $. My favorite film, ever.
I didn't know Ben Cross had died.
It’s such a tragedy that there was not another ten minutes, even in narrative form, which then described Eric Liddell’s missionary work and his internment and death at the hands of the Japanese
Neither did I. Sad.
@@petesmith9472I completely agree - no details were given, which was a great disservice to a great man.
there is something completely magical in this moment...the running, the expression, the music, the french sports commentator voice... so great cinema!
truly one of the best movies ever made....they did such a great job of capturing the emotion and depth of the story.
"I believe God made for a purpose, He also made me fast and when I run... I feel his pleasure" ...great lines! great movie! unique score! unforgettable classic!
This film was perfectly made...the time period captured perfectly. May we have more like it...
The story of Eric Liddel still touches the hearts of men everywhere.
And rightfully so.
You don't need gimmicks for a superb film and this is one of the best ever I am 72 next and was a lot younger when this first came out it was beautiful then and beautiful now 2024
Far and away one of my favorite movies ever.
i want to dedicate this melody to everyone that is fighting against something hard...thanks for uploading these beautiful scenes.
any relation to Tom Vigorito ???
"He that Honors God , God honors him "
Hallelujah 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I cried after Liddell won this race even though he beat the American. As anyone who's ever competed like me, the effort put forth is always the victory in the heart of the competitor. The music goes so beautifully with this scene.
I'm an athiest and I loveeee this movie. That speech at the end while he's running is so good. I BELIEVE THAT GOD MADE ME FOR A PURPOSE, BUT HE ALSO MADE ME FAST, AND WHEN I RUN, I FEEL HIS PLEASURE
A wonderful movie and we honour Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams as we approach the 2012 London games,
"So, where does the power come from to see the race to its end? From within." This inspiring quote got me through a mid-life crisis in 1983.
The man who felt god's pleasure when he ran..:-)
Something about the visual and the crowd roar at 2:05 is awe inspiring - you realize that in spite of everything, the great man is going to win!
"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.
Thanks for posting!
That is interesting. Which autobiography are you referring to?
(as a search has revealed quite a lot of books written about Eric)
so inspiring
amazing moment that shows the true meaning of sports and as well as life.
This movie hit me deep
I love the look on Abrahams face in this scene. He has the look of being awestruck and discouraged at the same time.
INSPIRED TO TO BE THE MAN ERIC IS
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.
And despite that, Abrahams still went down to congratulate Liddell. If that ain't true sportsmanship I don't know what is.
I always saw this scene as Abrahams not comprehending what Liddell felt as he ran
Actually that look on Harold’s face was taken from the scene after he lost to Liddell earlier in the movie. Take a close look at the jacket, it isn’t the same of the British Olympic team jacket.
Thank god for this movie! :)
100 years have passed and scandal has replaced honour and LOVE to God!!!
The music just made this movie, it is magical
I always loved this movie, earlier in the movie when he falls down and gets up and wins..just awesome. When I realized that I was excellent long distance runner..it was great moment for me to win races with the fast time for a mile. 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
It was 100 years ago, at the Paris Olympics. Sadly, he must be rolling over in his grave.
and The Results: E Liddle, Scotland 847- T Watt, USA 1777.... :)
Brilliant ! One of my Favourites.
Thanks for Posting...!
I like how through the race he doesnt have the piece of paper in his right hand,and at the finish line it magically appears.
Well, the letter/paper he's supposed to be holding in his right hand was nowhere in sight all the way until it suddenly appeared before he cross the finish line 😂
Even the Japanese guards respected EL. A true hero for far more than running
Mr. Liddell gave his life for the Gospel of Jesus Christ on Chinese soil
Liddel knew he wasnt going to compete for the 100m well in advance and prepared for 400m instead, a lot of fiction in this movie!
初めまして。 16年後の今 返信致します。解りますが、 あくまで 映画ですから 仕方が有りません。
There was a lot of fiction in the movie, but it’s still a great movie.
So?
The number "451" gives new punch to the term "Chariots of Fire". 451 Deg F is the burning point for paper.
Un film che resterà x sempre nel cinema mondiale, x come è stato girato e impostato
Un film d'une profondeur rare sur ce que le sport nous enseigne des valeurs humaines universelles, notamment l'humilité et le respect; l'humilité face à la puissance divine : "quand je cours, je ressens Son plaisir"; le respect vis à vis des autres : "j'honore ceux qui m'honorent et ceux qui me méprisent sont déconsidérés" Samuel (1, 2;30)
I never realized that he carried Schultz's note throughout the race until now.
He had it in his right hand at the start and end of the race, but it was nowhere to be seen during it. Perhaps he put it in his pocket...
this isnt an insult , just to say a team-mate did not give up a spot on the team (this is fiction) and the run around the Trinity college was not done by Abrahams
In real life the nite came from the coach not Jackson Schulz. Colin Welland, the writer, flew to the US to ask Jackson's permission to make the changes.
In real life, Liddell knew that the 100m heat would take place on a Sunday well in advance.
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.
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.
Forget about Jackson Scholtz I was inspired by what was written on the note. Praise GOD!
I got his book as a Sunday school gift in the 90s lol
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
Hollywood does what Hollywood wants. “Damn the historic and period accuracy! Full speed ahead!”
Yes, a nasty little touch that.
I have a book my father in law gave me on the Paris Olympiad of 1924 and there are the pictures of these very same people staring out from time to me.
Scholz, Liddle, Abrahams and others all in black and white in their prime with the odd looking outfits of the era.
He also played international rugby for Scotland.
I´m happy I did run 47.6 like Eric Lidell
Could you upload the scene where he speaks in church on the day he declined to run the heat? Hast thou not seen? has thou not heard? thanks!
It was not just that Liddell did not want to run on Sunday himself.He wanted to make a protest about ANYBODY taking part on a Sunday!
La gloria es el deporte y sus grandes héroes deportistas , increíblemente espectacular.
Desde Colombia gracias.
Liddell es una leyenda. Uno de mis deportistas favoritas de todos los tiempos
i believe he had 6 months, and he was a 400m runner mainly who had only recently excelled in the 100m, the story of him falling over in a 400m race and still winning is true
Great scene💯
He didn't throw the paper away. He held it in his right hand.. but you're right, it doesn't show the paper in the middle of the race.. then it reappears at the end xD
The script deviated from some of actual history, didn't it?
@damanjoseperez True, just a movie but if you ever ran competitively, especially longer distances, you can appreciate the heart of this movie.
..interesting...i guess ill have to actually watch the movie now
Great Britain has a population of 62,300,000 people. In the London Olympics they won 65 medals. China has a population of 1,344,000,000. They won 88 medals.
The United States has a population of about 312,000,000 and won 104 medals. Numbers don't lie. Great Britain bloody well kicked it big time. Guess this is the "good old days"!
I can't believe this movie was done over 30 years ago. I saw it the first day it was out because I love British movies. Dodi Al fayed put up the money for this movie and won an Oscar. Ian Charleston and Brad Davis died from Aids not long after this film was realeased. I dont know where Ben Cross is
I believe that Ian Charleson was the first British actor to insist that the cause of his death being AIDS should be publicised. Deeply respected by his fellow actors and the public.
Don't expect to see you until after the race classic line
The word is Final and not finale, finale is used in the arts, e,g, the last sceen of an opera. Final is used exclusively in sport to nominate the last competition
You can be a God-Bless-America Yank (I am), yet during this film you were still pulling for the Brits. Hello, my friends on the other side of the pond.
This track still stands. Location of the Oval located in bebington wirral
I noticed that too... I was trying to figure out what it was, I thought he'd thrown the paper aside at the start.
Ýès Eric!! Ýou gave it all and God honored it.
I was an extra in this movie
GOD said...He who honors me..i will honor!
The only movie I’ve ever fallen asleep in the theater while watching. I was probably 20.
Last time the UK was an Olympic force
thank lampbrain :)
the flying scotsman!
what a pious and devout lovely man
DON EVER QUIT
Philip O'Brien RIP
Time for an update.
he placed the paper behind his right ear around the half way stage but this is not shown in the clip.
I was actually looking for the final scene when the two old men walk out of the church and one says to the other, "We did it. We ran them off their feet." Does he mean we out lived them all?
The phrase was "HE did it" not "WE did it" He was refering to Harold Abrahams, who said, while at college and facing discrimination as a Jew, said he would run them off their feet.
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.
I don't mean to be disrespectful, but many Scots call Sunday the Sabbath day, as indeed does many an old rhyme. Jewish people refer to Friday as their Sabbath, but many Christians refer to Sunday as the Sabbath day.
where would this movie be without slow-mo?
@thejuncopartner
What is important isn't being a religous person but rather a spiritual person......and adherence to sound principles.
@8data you, sir, are a nice person
@YoungTeufelhunden Whoever you heard that from sounds like an awfully wise man.
what is the name of the last song? thanks
RSV2000 th-cam.com/video/z9DCSw5xMIc/w-d-xo.html
Even though the barrier of religeon'the Sabbath"God honored his faith in the Word,therefore God upheld him.It still works today. Try God!
GOD is love.He loves everyone!
However,honoring and loving are two different words.
Thanks for your comments.
have u ever run 400m weather he prepaired for it or not its still a solid event to run
@YoungTeufelhunden you have free will in every religion not just Christianity.
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.
out of the fricken hundreds of useless competitions they should win something I hope.
Did Abrahams and Liddell ever meet in real life
@willmo42 He was quoting from the speech...
GOD speaks thru the BIBLE....HIs WORDs..written there.
Feel free to prove me wrong...
And no need to hate me... I'm not doing anything that spiteful.
Paris 1900 1924 2024 olympic 🇨🇵
Where is the music?!?!?!?
jenny was like, 'run, forest, run!!!'
What a twee bit of fluff this was.
Fluff???? A movie about courage, dedication to principles, integrity and deep faith? Oh please....
Great movie. But I wish whoever is doing the captions would learn how to spell "rigor mortis" not rigger mortis.
New Zealand has a population of 4 million they won 13 medals, do the math, great Britain got kicked by the colonists.
How do you account for the Hoocaust?
