Hurray for the UK!
Hurray for the UK!
Hi guys, I can't believe that it's been 14 years since watching this film. Are you ready?

The Story

Like the Hungarian 2006 film, Children of Glory. This film explores about a real athlete name Harold Abrahams who could not participate in the Olympics because it happens to coincide with the Sabbath as he is Jewish.
I was really touch by this film because Abrahams faces anti-Semitism during his University days, but both Harold and Eric would later become a team when training together, even becoming friends.

The Music

Yes, the legendary music by Vangelis brought me to this wonderful film. It was revived during the London 2012 Olympic Games, so kudos to Vangelis!

The Olympic Dreams

A short review on the legendary 1981 film and hope you watch it, it teaches you to be positive and never to give up on your dreams.
Run!
Run!
