Truly motivating, truly sincere, a movie that allows you to dream what might seem to be impossible.

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2006)

Rudy is the most motivational movie ever made, and will continue to bring tears to movie watchers eyes for years to come. Over the years, and having watched this movie some 25-35 times now, it always screams out, "You can do anything you want if you just put your whole heart and soul into it and truly try." Sean Astin certainly has his most inspiring role in this movie, and he translates so perfectly what a young man chasing his only dream, to play for the University of Notre Dame, can do if he sets his mind to it. The movie also represented what that period of time was like for anyone whoever wanted to play a major college sport, but was considered too small or too light. Back then, you could still walk on and be considered.
Whenever I watch this movie, it puts a smile on my face, a tear in my eye, and never ceases to amaze me how much a willing heart can influence so many other people. The real Rudy truly inspires the watcher with every scene, showing us that above all, persistence can make any one of us winners.
