Rudy (1993)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Undescribable Perfection

A Disappointing Continuation

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

As a younger viewer,I admit I enjoyed this film.As an older,more skeptical one,I have a different perspective.It's a Hollywood Horatio Alger story of how one can achieve their goals with determination and pluck.Well,I would love a date with THE FLASH's Danielle Panabaker However,I don't think any level of determination will get me said date but rather arrested,a restraining order and an ass kicking.He did not work at the mill for four years but rather was in the Navy for two years and then worked at the mill. He should have been able to use his GI Bill benefits to pay Holy Cross tuition.https://espn.go.com/page2/s/merron/021202.htmlSecond,Rudy was a poor advocate for his own cause.He was not 5 nothing and 100 nothing but 5'6" and 185 lbs.Yet,he played defensive line and was a shoving dummy until the last minute of the last game of his career.He should have lobbied to play special teams,third down defensive back or third down running back;more playing time and possible pro scout attention.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudy_RuettigerLastly,like many of our "heroes," Rudy has feet of clay. In 2011,he settled SEC claims of running a pump and dump scheme;energy drink company he ran. Think of the movie BOILER ROOM. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/dec/16/business/la-fi-1217-sec- rudy-20111217Watch with a critical eye...

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.

David Anspaugh's "Rudy" charts the life of Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger (Sean Astin), a young man who harbours dreams of playing football for the esteemed University of Notre Dame.A thin but at times unconventional sports flick, "Rudy's" big gimmick is this: Rudy is a tiny guy. How tiny? Real tiny. For all his tenacity, poor Rudy simply isn't cut out for playing ball. Indeeed, Rudy's never even granted the climactic "happy ending" which many sports dramas target. Instead, Rudy's last act "victory" merely amounts to him being granted a few paltry seconds on a football field.Sports movies usually trade in "inspirational" messages. "Rudy" does this as well, but manages to blend cynicism with sentimentality. You sense this is not director David Anspaugh's intention; he's simply looking for formulaic uplift. The film co-stars Jon Favreau. Sean Astin does well with a tricky role.7.5/10 – Worth one viewing.

This is a 10 hankie movie. Every part of the movie is made to make you cry. If you look for underdog in the dictionary, you'll see the face of Rudy. Sure the movie is manipulating us. For that I'll subtract a point. But it's something I'll mostly overlook because the manipulations work so well. The fact is Rudy has become bigger than a simple movie. It is the standard for underdog sports movies. It has become a synonym to inspirational.Daniel 'Rudy' Ruettiger (Sean Astin) is a poor student and a small physical specimen. Only he has the heart of a lion. He dreams of nothing else other than to play for Notre Dame football. Nobody believes in him other than maybe his best friend Pete. His father's (Ned Beatty) tale of how his grandfather abandoned his family for a dream is heartbreaking. The father's advise is gut wrenching. His fire is almost extinguished when Pete dies in an industrial accident. This drives him to pursue his dreams which borders on delusional.The story piles on the obstacles facing Rudy. It is overkill and works beautifully. It is heartbreaking every time it happens. The music pulls at the emotional strings. They pile on more obstacles. Even though I know there are manipulations, it doesn't matter. It gets me every time.
