One of the best British made films ever. If I may quote Granpa Simpson, talking about Casablanca. "I've seen this movie countless times. And I never get tired of that ending". And this has to be the best intripretation of Jerusalem I have ever herd.

I'm not a religious person but I love this hymn so much that I would spend hours at the church just to listen to it. I like a lot how in the soundtrack by Vangelis, "100 metres" and "Jerusalem" are joined. The ominous (yet beautiful) theme of "100 metres" then transitions into this wonderful hymn. Blessed be England 😘

Isaiah 40.31-for those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; the shall mount up with wings as eagles ; they shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and not be faint. I was saved with this verse in 1984. Praise the Lord Jesus

I ran into a former college track teammate of mine, he ran the 400, I, the 100/200. A few of our colleagues are dead, some we haven't heard from in years. When he left, I thought of this song, and scene, how we were once the age of the movie characters, strong, energetic and damn fast. When I am old and decrepit, I will remember this one chance meeting, and this movie....

@Songsmirth i guess you're asking for the name of that tune near the end of the movie right before they do the main theme. the tune is "jerusalem". it's used in a bunch of things dealing with england. i like the tune, and yet the lyrics are kind of odd. it's based on a legend in which Christ was in england back during Christ's earthly life. the poem encourages people to make england like jerusalem was. before i saw the lyrics, i often wondered why the tune isn't much used here in the u.s.

@willnichlas63175 жыл бұрын
@xy47402 This version is beautiful. I expected it to be in the CD but what I heard was pretty standard. In the movie we hear, as they begin "Bring me my bow of burning gold...", the men sing the standard arrangement while the boys' choir sings a -what?- counter harmony. I don't know the language of music, but the movie, alone, may hold this arrangement.
