Movie Reviews of Rudy (Special Edition)
Movie Review: An inspirational story
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the book "Rudy" and found out that the movie left out a lot of valuable information. However the movie was great also, but Rudy's relationship with his father and two older brothers in the book was an intense relationship. After reading the book and seeing all of the obstacles that Rudy had to overcome to achieve his dream of playing football and attending school at Notre Dame it made me think. I thought about my dreams and aspirations that I had set for myself when I was younger and what I was doing currently doing to achieve them or not doing. However, what the message I got from the movie and the book were that if you don't have dreams you are not alive which I believe to be so true. Dreams are what keeps us going and excelling in life despite all odds that are stacked up against us.Movie Review: An inspiring story, even for non football lovers
Summary: 5 Stars
I admit it, I was a skeptic. I was not, and still am not, much of a football fan. When Rudy came out in theaters, I had no interest. It was only happening across a review of the film that I decided to get the DVD. What a suprise! Rudy is one of those movies that inspired me. A truly wonderful, moving story, beautifully told. Even more amazing is the fact that it is based on a true story! As for the DVD itself, I was very pleased with the sound and video quality. Anamorphic video is sharp and saturated, and the Dolby Digital soundtrack is stirring and makes good use of the surround speakers. The extras on the disc are good (a commentary track would have been a nice addition), but the featurettes, featuring interviews with the real Rudy are teriffic.
Highly reccomended
Movie Review: Makes a grown man cry!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Any movie that celebrates the triumph of a man against overwhleming odds, that displays courage, tenacity, disappointment, tragedy, love, and victory and that does all this delivery in simple human emotion is going to connect with every single viewer of the film.Rudy is one of those truly rare films that stay in your mind and heart.
The DVD is my only edition of the film, and does have the interview of the guy the film is based on, and this simply blows me away in its delivery of a regular joe sharing himself.
All I can say, despite its relatively simple DVD architecture, and few "extra", and since I cannot give the film 6 stars, buy this DVD for the movie....after all, thats what it is for.
Movie Review: Cross Cultural Borders
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is perhaps one of the best, well done movies I have ever seen. Trust me, I've seen hundreds. Usually that alone would not make me write an on-line review, but when my mom (who only speaks so-so english) starts crying when Rudy finally gets to play with the Fighting Irish, I knew there was something special about this movie. This is not your typical "Oh no, it's one of those stupid Guy's Only Sports Movie." No, it is much more than it seems. Simply put, you will enjoy this movie because:A) Well acted
B) Well written
C) Well directed
That this movie is based on a true story makes it that much better. "Rudy" is what all movies want to be, good story telling.
Movie Review: One of the Most Inspirational Movies Ever Made
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not even a huge football fan and 'Rudy' is one of the most inspirational films that I've ever seen. If you've ever had a dream that you wanted more than anything, but were told by almost everyone that you just didn't have what it takes to realize that dream, then 'Rudy' is for you. It is the true story of someone who ignored everyone who told him what he couldn't do, and set out to realize his dream through sheer heart and determination. It is a story about so much more than football. I've watched 'Rudy' probably half a dozen times and it brings me to tears every time. Tears of joy, that is, because it reminds me that yes, dreams do come true after all.
