Cool Runnings - the movie



I heard about this movie few months back before the London Olympic started. The movie was referred as one of the best Olympic movies of all time. It was produced in 1993 and based on true story of the first Jamaican bobsled team trying to make it to the 1988 winter Olympics. Feeding my curiosity, I decided to make a point to watch it and it was a pleasant surprise. 

The movie was fun, moving and straight forward. Its original. It's about reaching the impossible. On the other hand, I just realised how colouful Jamaican was :) Synopsis is here. Without winter and all the shortcoming, the only things that they have left  is determination to win. Nothing else matters.

Yep, I do recommend this movie especially on the hard days at work and inspiration is needed :)
