What an Amazing Event

Rating: 9/10 (7 December 2009)

Rudy is a story of inspiration and is extremely up lifting. The film is about a small kid and as he grows up his dream is to play football for Notre Dame University. All through high school he was an undersized player and just an average student and was constantly told he could never play or even attend Notre Dame University. After high school Rudy gets a job at the steel mill where his father works at. Once his best friend dies in an accident at the mill Rudy decides to live out his dream. He goes to South Bend and fulfills all his dreams of attending the University and playing one play his senior year.
Rudy is very inspirational and I love to watch this movie. The fact that Rudy doesn't listen to anyone and tries to achieve his life long dream of playing football for Notre Dame is so amazing. Especially at the division 1 level it is so hard for a walk on to get on the field but Rudy does this and even though he is extremely undersized he makes a tackle which makes his story even more amazing. To me this best part of the film is when all the players stick up for Rudy just to give him the opportunity to dress. With out the players doing what they did Rudy would have never had the opportunity to do the amazing things he did and it shows the respect he had earned from the team when in most cases walk ons are treated with out respect. The whole story from start to finish is so incredible and makes the movie the classic that it has become.
