CLASSWORK Today we analyse the representation of CLASS in several extracts from Chariots Of Fire ( dir. Hugh Hudson, 1981)

• What is the impact of Vangelis's music in the opening scene of training on the beach?
• How are both Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams constructed as outsiders? (Discuss Abraham's 'welcome' by the college porter; the college masters' scornful observations of the College Dash)
• How is the British Establishment constructed through the use of setting (Cambridge colleges, Kings College Chapel, the freshmen's dinner)
• What is the function of cross cutting from the College Dash to the highland games? What parallels are drawn?
