I have been struggling for a long time on the question of whether to give it four or five stars.
The protagonist is not a genius who has fallen into the mortal world, nor is he a core existence who turns things around on the court. He is an ordinary person like you and me. Joining the football team at Notre Dame is his dream. To this end, despite the fateful remarks of his family, he quit his job, left his soon-to-be-married wife, endured the ridicule of others, worked hard, and finally got the opportunity to show himself on the court.
The plot of the film is not ups and downs, and the narrative of the story is very smooth, but it has an extraordinary sense of reality. Yes, I think the reason why it can get such a high rating is because the setting of the protagonist is so close to reality. Rudy, as a football player, can be said to be very thin, and he doesn't have much talent. It is only out of my love for the sport that I can persevere all the way, join the team, and sweat on the field. From the beginning to the end, Rudy was an ordinary young man struggling for his dream. Isn't this exactly what every ordinary person living in this world is experiencing and has been experiencing? If you want to study for a postgraduate examination, you have to bury your head in reading literature and desperately publish papers; if you want to get a promotion and a salary increase, you have to work overtime and stay up late. Only through long-term persistence can the harvest be possible. Look at Rudy, even if he gave everything for his dream, all he got in the end was just a few minutes off the bench when the game was basically decided. This is the way most people struggle, and the gains and efforts are not directly proportional. For a small gain, a huge sacrifice must be made. Is it really worth it? For Rudy, the answer is yes, and he has his share of the credit for the team's final victory. He was able to realize his childhood dream of standing on the court and fulfilling his long-cherished wish. Perhaps the meaning of life lies in long-term patience and momentary blooming. But as far as I'm concerned, what he got was far from enough. He did not play as the main force of the team, nor did he play a key role in the game. The hard-earned opportunity to play is also the result of teammates working together to get the coach to compromise. Maybe it's because I am still young at the moment, and I still refuse to lower my demands on life.
