It is certainly the most inspirational story thus far. After the depressing endings of the 70s it was nice to have a feel good story. The movie has no antagonist for the viewer to root against but that does not take away from the power of the movie. It is a story of a man who has his values in the right place and a man with missed-placed values.  The message of the movie is powerful.

Callie
Favorite: The honor and integrity of Liddell's life.
Least Favorite: The theme song is so famous and inspirational but the rest of the soundtrack is so dated and hokey.

Joel
Favorite: I liked the fact that Liddell got his value from being a child of God.
Least Favorite: The soundtrack was poorly done.
