Chariots of Fire - Review

I saw the movie in one sitting after a long long time. Maybe the only disadvantage I felt was due to the popularity of the theme music, I've heard it so many times that I didn't perhaps get the complete enjoyment of the movie. But nevertheless the movie was great. No All American heroism. Thank god not much of the Anglo-saxon decency for that matter. One thing I did notice was that the director wanted to show a lot more but something stopped him. Something WAS missing. Overall it's a great movie. Being from India, heroism does play a role on me. I would rate 'Seabiscuit' and 'Breaking Away' as two of the most inspiring movies I've seen. I wanna add a lot more to this about Chariots of Fire. I'll need to watch it again. I liked the titles and how they reused the titles for the ending as well. Smart.

The title music from Vangelis - Chariots Of Fire (Mythodea Live in Greece)

Are we on the way towards a great war?

I have been reading a bit about modern wars including the world wars and I was intrigued because it sounds very much like now. So I decided to ask AI what it thinks of the situation. My question: From your knowledge of the two world wars, do you see a parallel now. There is economic rivalry and instability, growing authoritarianism, challenges to international institutions, an alliance system and there is arms race today which is very similar to pre world wars. Do you think we are on the brink of another great war? AI Response (CoPilot): You're raising a very important and timely concern — and yes, many scholars and analysts do see troubling parallels between today's global dynamics and the conditions that preceded both World Wars. Let’s explore this more deeply: Modern Parallels to Pre–World War Conditions Economic Rivalry & Instability Then : Germany’s rise challenged British dominance; global trade tensions and protectionism were ram...
