[QUOTE="dms1972, post: 74438155, member: 325736"] I am really surprised you would take exception to this film. I suspect the clip I chose doesn't indicate the moral or christian content which it has. It doesn't promote sins and is about a missionary Eric Liddle who ran in the Olympics - the film makes it clear he runs because when he does he feels God's pleasure. There is another runner in the film a Jew, Harold Abrahams whose motive for running is to challenge the prejudice and anti-semitism in the British academic establishment of those days. Both are historical people, its not a fictional story. I'll give a short synopis of the story: Basically missionary Liddle follows his convictions / conscience when he refuses to take part in olympic heats held on the christian sabbath, he is offered the opportunity of competing in another distance event on a different day. But people think he will fail because he is a sprinter and would not be able to pace himself in a longer race. Just before he runs a fellow athlete gives him a bit of paper, a note to encourage him which is a paraphase from the Bible: "It says in the Old Book: He that honors Me - I will honor." [MEDIA=youtube]uwyltmUR3MU[/MEDIA] In one scene Liddle is heard speaking about faith and the Kingdom of God to a crowd of people. [MEDIA=youtube]kbgR-pOIFbE[/MEDIA][/url] In another he reads from the book of Isaiah. [MEDIA=youtube]ZjF59VB0h6g[/MEDIA][/url] I hope you'll give it another look, if watching the clips you conclude its not your thing (not everyone likes sports films, or period dramas) fair enough... I'd be interested to hear what you think of the clips all the same. IMO it would be hard to find a general release film nowadays that treats of christians in the manner this film did. I prefer mainstream films than ones that are too much a product of a christian subculture. [/QUOTE]
