Rudy
When people say dreams don't come true...tell them about Rudy
One of Mark F's suggestions from the last time, getting around to it this time. One of many which I hope to get to. Of course this isn't my first time watching it, but it has been a while since I have. Revisiting this story was a nice way to spend the afternoon.
Rudy is an inspirational story. It shows how dedication, hard work and guts will take you places. Rudy makes me look like a lazy slob, hell anyone really does. He saw a goal that he wanted to accomplish and didn't stop trying till he achieved it. What were his dreams? To play for the college football team Norte Dame of course.
Rudy is a film that gives you goosebumps. The climactic challenge of him playing football and the cheers of Rudy throughout the crowd are enough to get the hair on my arm to stand up. Seeing the power of joy and happiness if people's hearts and on their wide smiled faces gets to me, a small tear here and there.
Sean Astin delivers his best performance to date, sorry Sam Wise, it really is. His heart is on his sleeve. The supporting cast all work well together, Jon Favreau, Charles S. Dutton and Ned Beatty shine. Rudy is probably one of, if not the, best football film. Every other one goes down the same formulaic route that it's boring. No matter how well the football scenes are filmed, you need a good story. Rudy as all of this and more.
