The central theme of this movie was dedication and determination. Also it is about with both dedication and determination you can reach your goals no matter what happens. Both Harold and Eric were dedicated to what they do and determined to win. Running and Focus were symbols in this movie. Running for Eric symbolized his devotion to God and no one was going to change that. Eric Focused on God and had him by his side through all the running events. Running for Harold is his way to achieve fame and to overcome prejudice. At the time the Olympics were nothing like they are today. Eric's sister did not believe he is making the right decision to pursue running. This just shows how dedicated Eric really was to running and also determined. Both Eric and Harold win their races which backs up the central theme, which is still relevant today. This is still relevant because kids still to this day set goals to what they desire and want and they do everything in their power to reach those goals. You can reach anything with dedication and determination.
