Product Description
All his life, people have told Rudy he's not good enough, not smart enough, not big enough. But nothing can stop his impossible dream of playing football for Notre Dame. From the time he's a young boy, Rudy (Sean Astin) is determined to join the Fighting Irish. But his blue collar family only laughs at his ambitions - they know Rudy will follow his father and brothers to the local steel mill. And, for four long years after high school, he does just that. But some dreams won't die, as Rudy proves when he goes to heroic, occasionally hilarious, lengths to win admission to Notre Dame. Once there, he becomes a walk-on player, serving as little more than a human tackling dummy against the starting players. Bloodied but unbeaten, Rudy wins the respect of legendary coach Ara Parseghian and the other Irish players, who give him one shot at gridiron glory. An incredible true story from the creators of Hoosiers, RUDY is an unforgettable testament to the power of dreams and the triumph of the com

But all that goes to show, movies, like anything, are subjective. One person’s opinion can greatly vary from another, so take it all with a grain of salt. I cannot explain my reaction to Mr. Astin - he is likely a lovely person, who I have never met, and maybe we’d get along great. But anything he is in I am just not a fan. But people are that way... but my wife... she LOVES this film.
So there it is... the movie.
Rudy is a classic football film, arguably as well known as the university’s football itself. I did some reading afterwards to see how much was “real” or not, and was surprised by the real life-to-ficiton changes, but not, because that is the purpose of Hollywood; to heighten reality. But the story is interesting...
In this case, the young Rudy wants to play for his beloved Fighting Irish, heads off to college (next door), works himself hard, and finally gets that dream chance... of helping the team get ready. But for any fan, that kind of love and commitment is to be... commended? Sure. Fandom is a unique and wonderful world and if someone is made better or feels they are contributing to the cause for which they fight, then all the power to them. So off Rudy goes, helping the team, earning their respect, and in the end... well, you’ll have to watch. I will always give them, the game scenes are great. The friendships are solid. The mythical heroes journey is on full display. And while I am not a fan of Mr. Astin, but his efforts to breath life into this character have earned my respect. Perhaps much like the way the Notre Dame coach (is portrayed - read that story online), I may not like the guy, but in the end, I respect the heart he puts into it, and that earns my giving it a 4 star rating - my wife would give it 10 if she could. Fight on Irish!

Wer den Film noch nicht kennt, sollte zuschlagen. Dieser Film ist bestes Emotionskino und beruht im gegensatz zu Rocky auf einer wahren geschichte. Der echte Rudy verfolgte mit riesiger Begeisterung die Einspielung der orchestralen Filmmusik unter Jerry Goldsmith, die damals eine Oscarnominierung hätte kriegen müssen. Von dieser Musik aus dem jahr 1993 hat sich Alan Silvestri 1994 für Forrest Gump merklich inspirieren lassen. Rüdiger (Rudy) will unbedingt beim Team von Notre Dame mitspielen. Hierfür tut er alles. Er durchläuft Höhen und noch mehr Tiefen um am Ende seinen Traum für einen kurzen Moment erfüllt zu bekommen. Sean Astin, bekannt als Sam in "Herr der Ringe" oder als einer der Jungen in Goonies (1985), spielt brilliant. Rudys kleiner, aber für ihn ganz großer Moment im Jahre 1975 wurde toll inzeniert.
Es ist eine Schande, dass der deutsche Markt diesen angesehenen und sehr gut bewerteteten Film ganz vergessen hat.
However, as he grew older, he found that he did not have the academic abilities, and was unable to continue his studies into higher education. Working in a local steel mill, he witnessed the death of his friend; and this galvanised him into trying again. He gains a place in a junior college and with the help of various people manages maintain a sufficiently high enough grade to apply for a transfer. In the mean time, he does whatever he can to keep body & soul together and support his beloved Irish.
He finally gets his transfer; and as a student at Notre Dame, is eligibale to join the practice team as a "walk on"; someone that that acts as the opposition to give the first team players a chance to hone their skills. Despite his lack of athletic ability, his burning desire to play wins him many friends and they want to see him rewarded by getting at least one chance to put on the blue & gold for a game.
It's a feel good film made all the better by being based on a true story. Even if you are not a fan of American Football, this is great movie to watch and one that is suitable for all ages. Even though I know the ending, I still find myself jumping to my feet at the end of the film; it's that good.
