CHARIOTS OF FIRE

This film was a bit slow for me. However, there are good attributes about this film. This film's theme is about changing yourself to become who you want to be but not completely losing oneself. Abrahams is trying to be himself but he also wants to win the olympics as a jewish runner. Little wants to win as well but is torn because he also wants to follow God. The acting in this film is fairly decent. It is believable and draws you in. They bring life to the characters and make them relatable. The music isn't bad either in this film. It also helps make you feel like you are apart of the film and experiencing the highs and lows with the characters. Production design was well thought out and portrayed. The costumes are good and help set the time. The editing is a big part in every film and this film was well edited. I believe it was the story line that is a bit slow for me but the editing helps it along and keeps you interested in the plot. It is a relatable story due to the fact that the antagonist is themselves. They need to stop holding themselves back. That is relatable and well recieved in any time line. People will always second guess themselves and worry what other people think. The human race will never be able to trust that we are good enough and worthy. The characters depict this very well. That is what I pulled from the film.
