Heart-warming

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2009)

Rudy is one of the most motivational movies I have ever seen. The fact that it is true provides even more of an inspiration to the viewer. The most important scenes in the movie are when Rudy decides to apply to Notre Dame after his best friend dies, when Rudy finally gets accepted to Notre Dame, when Fortune tells Rudy not to quit the team, when the team players tell Dan Devine to let Rudy dress, and, finally, when the crowd chants Rudy's name and he gets to play in the game. Rudy represents a person that everyone can admire. He is a person who never gives up no matter how many people discourage him and tell him that he can't achieve his dreams. This is shown in the scene when Jamie complains to Coach Parseghian that Rudy is too serious about a practice. Parseghian responds to him basically saying that if he had any bit of the heart that Rudy has, then he would have gotten so much further than he is right now. The cinematography in the movie was very focused on the emotions in it, the sound also went along with the different emotions. We see this because there is theme music that is played softly in heart-felt scenes and then more intensely in more motivational scenes. Rudy is a film that will have anyone watching it leave the movie feeling inspired and touched by a person who never gave up on his dream.
