Rudy (1993)

That was an excellent one.

A Masterpiece!

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I saw this movie for the first time when I was in middle school some years back. Back then they showed every student this movie in the seventh grade, but I really fell in love with it. I remember just being in awe and really getting into it.Especially seeing as I'm a girl and girls don't like football or sports movies. But its one really transcends genders. The music really plays a key part and can move you to tears. The acting was spot on and its impossible not to identify with Rudy.Its the type of movie that when someone says they don't really care for it, you're like"That's blasphemy!" How could you not like it? Plus there are some great appearances by some movie stars, before they made it big. Every time I watch this movie or hear the music, I'am inspired.

This is my favorite movie of all time! I cry every time I see it because I see so much self so much of myself in Rudy. When I am down and need a good kick in the butt...I watch this movie. It reminds me that no matter who you are or what you're current circumstances are you need to keep working and never give up no matter what anyone says! Naysayers are everywhere and they are never going away so its up to us to stay strong and keep focusing on the end result.This movie also teaches you that sometimes when you are about to give up...you may be closer than you think to getting what you want. I recommend this movie to anyone even if they do not like football you will love this move regardless.Sean Astin Rules!

It's about the guy who once had a dream, but he was always listening others about how he cannot reach it. His name is Rudy and he's big fan of Notre dame football team, his childhood dream is to play for them or at least to made a debut for them.Whole his family was watching them and they were big supporters of them, every Sunday they were in front of television watching them. After graduation of high school, he couldn't go to Notre dame college since he had bad grades so his dream just fall in river. He decided to start working family job, in steel mill. After death of his best friend, Pete, he decided to get back to college, but yet again his grades were too low for this one, so he had to go to other one called Holy Cross College. After some years in Holy Cross College, he got applied to Norte Dame and his dream got real. He was good student, he was getting better and better grades, playing for football team and one pretty impressive fact is he never missed any of trainings in those 2 years of playing. But, he wasn't good enough for those guys due his psychical problems. His teammates were just too strong for him, but Rudy had a faith, he had a dream that he's going to reach one day and hearth. His teammates noticed it and they respected that. They were impressed of how he can go so hard even though he got refused many times. And before their last game, they decided to help him reaching his dream by talking on their trainer to put him in first team. Trainer wasn't alright with that decision but he made it, he put him as sub. He made his debut match against Georgia tech, whole stadium was screaming his name. Rudy reached his dream, his parents, brothers, friend were proud of him.If you like inspirations movies this one is perfect for you, for binging up your motivation. I must mention that this movie is based on true story.

OK, a few scenes I liked: the scene with the walk-on tryouts where the assistant coach tells them they can expect to get pounded on by the first teamers, and nobody cares whether they get hurt or not. Also during Rudy's senior year, the background music and late autumn scenes were both breathtaking, yet with the realization that time was running out on Rudy's last season and his last chance to play. Finally, it was neat to see how the other players gradually came to appreciate Rudy for his stick-to-itiveness, to the point where each of the starters asked Coach Divine to let Rudy dress in their place. Only problem with that: in real life it never happened that way. Coach Divine had every intention to let Rudy play and was rather angry that the movie portrayed him otherwise. Still though, it added to the drama. My favorite scene of all is when Fortune (Charles Dutton)encourages Rudy to go to his final practice because if he doesn't, he'll regret it for the rest of his life, "letting them get the best of you".My only criticism is with the excessive profanity coming from Rudy's friend at Holy Cross. I try not to let a few bad words bother me, but when it's excessive and really adds nothing whatsoever to the story. I mean, really, how would this movie have been any worse without the friend's repeated use of "G..D.."? Without those scenes, this movie is a 10.Overall, very inspiring, even if you're not a football fan.
