《火的战车》主题曲——chariots of fire
《火的战车》这部音乐作品，是1982奥斯卡金像奖的音乐获奖作品。作曲家是希腊人范吉利斯(vangelis )。我钟情于这位被称为现代瓦格纳的大师，钟情于电子合成器给我们带来的特殊的听觉美感。《火战车》是休·赫德森1981年执导的一部电影。影片讲述剑桥大学犹太学生为了对抗种族偏见，为同胞争光，一心想成为赢得奥运会百米赛金牌的第一个犹太人。最后，自信而有拼搏精神的他终于夺得百米决赛冠军。自上世纪70年代后，电子合成器普遍运用于音乐创作，出现了大量的电影配乐、插曲。比如，那一时期我们对合成音乐的了解就是从罗马尼亚影片《沸腾的生活》开始的，耳目一新，好听!

every night i pray every time i say
Chariots of Fire
重温了这部1981年公映、根据史实改编的奥斯卡最佳影片。
二刷理解会不同。影片双男主设置，有梦想的Harold Abrahams和有信仰的Eric Liddell。我更喜欢Eric Liddel，不仅是他与我们这片土地和土地上的人们有着深厚的联系。
有信仰的人是幸福的。
P.S：出演Eric Liddel的英国演员Ian Charleson有一种一下就能牢牢吸引住你的魅力和实力。
