ThiefHott Too much of everything

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

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

rossini-1868 One of the best kept secrets in Hollywood history was called up from the shadows, to put his 18 time Academy Award nominated stamp on this sentimental classic. Jerry Goldsmith's music went into the sentimentality with guns blazing and came out with what is one of the greatest scores in movie history. Rudy's incredible story will well the tears up, and Goldsmith's score will bring 'em down, whether you want it to happen or not. Be warned.

hugol-34929 Rudy is a great movie, it was funny but i was surprised how sad it was, too. it is a good story about a guy who will not give up on his dream no matter what.

Gimmegudsuq It isn't easy to get into a school for sports. Rudy is the story of a high school football aspiring to play for Notre Dame. Although Rudy isn't the best student, his motivation to play for Notre Dame leads him to take every opportunity he can in order to fulfill his dream. Once Rudy graduates from high school, he begins working his father to save up money to go to his dream school. When he raises enough money to go to Notre Dame, he speaks with the head of school who presents him with the option of attending a different school in the area to prove that he is studious enough to attend Notre Dame. Despite failing on multiple occasions to have his application approved, Rudy stays persistent and applies his last time and is finally accepted. After his application is accepted, Rudy's first ambition is to try out for the football team. Although he put in large amounts of effort during high school, the coaches think that he isn't suited to play on the team. He doesn't demonstrate the athletic ability required to make the cut, one coach convinces the others to let him on the team under the condition that he puts in the same amount of effort that he did on the first day. After making the team, he continues to put in all his effort so that the coach will put him in during a game so he can prove to his family that he made it. Even though he puts in more effort than the other members of the team, he isn't put into any of the games because of the new coach. Rudy continued to prove that he was strong enough of a player for the coach to put him in, but game after game, his name isn't on the roster. Rudy has his parents come for his last game at Notre Dame, and against all odds, Rudy is put in for one play during the last game of his senior year. Although the odds were stacked against Rudy, he made his aspirations come true through hard work and persistence. This movie shows the struggle of a high school student whose own family doesn't believe in him and how he makes it to where he wants to be. The main attribute of this movie that makes it so inspirational is Rudy's story and motivation. Not only did no one believe him, but he wasn't even given the chance to even attempt to go to Notre Dame. It was only under his own toiling that he was able to even go to visit the college. Along with this, Rudy continuously attempted to make the best out of his situations. When his initial application is denied, he agrees to go to a different college to show that he can do well enough to attend Notre Dame. Also, when he begins playing football at Notre Dame, he shows so much spirit and determination that the coaches agree to let him on the team. To me, the main concept of this story is that it's, possible for anything regardless of how bizarre it sounds. Overall, I think that Rudy was a very good movie because it shows that anything is possible if you apply yourself in attempting to achieve it. It's a shame that I won't ever play football or apply to Notre Dame. ;)

Perry Bee I just caught this on Sunday afternoon TV, I live down under, born and bred in Holland, and have no real interest in Grid Iron, hey I only know the real Football (soccer), but man I really like this great story.It was great to watch a film that had no sex drugs or rock and roll, just a great story about a small bloke trying his best to prove every one wrong, that size does not matter! I myself am 6'4' 250 pounds, and grew another foot in height on the inside, just a great simple direct to the point film about courage and inner strength! 8 out of 10 for this most see good feel film
