"Rudy" is one of the best sports films of all time. It tells the story of of Daniel "Rudy" Rettinger, played by Sean Astin. He is a young man trying to get through college at Holy Cross Junior College. He has big dreams though. His dream is to play college football at Notre Dame, not only for himself but for his family and everyone that has told him he could not make it. He finally gets accepted into Notre Dame and finally believes he can achieve his dream. He eventually joins the practice squad, because he is not good enough to be a starter. He is determined to fulfill his dream.
This film is so inspiring. It really truly shows if you have are determined, if you stay honest with yourself you can achieve great things. This film is based on a true story and Sean Astin did a fantastic job for this role. He was excellent in this film because we could clearly see how determined he was to succeed. Some great minor roles in this film were by Jon Favreau, Ned Beatty, Lilli Taylor, and Vince Vaughn. It is a great film and it is powerful to watch.
