dream child

This movie brought tears to my eyes.

When I saw it, I only felt that I was so powerless. Compared to the protagonist, he is simply weak. I never had the courage to go to work and leave home just to get on the football team, and I never had the willpower to keep studying and get into Notre Dame. Isn't what the protagonist does what thousands of Chinese students do? Thinking of this makes me panic and suspect that I've wasted nearly 20 years. What I envy is actually not those courage and perseverance, but that he has a pure dream.

This is the difference between adults and children. I'm just a person with no goals, that's all. There are so many people wasting college life, why should I moan here. Indeed, many people don't even have time to think compared to the time they waste. I think some people will question Rudy's success, but the moment he was ready to leave, he was there. I still like that sentence very much, no matter how old I am, I will still keep that sentence in my heart:

A person's greatest happiness is to discover one's mission in this life halfway through life, in a creative prime.

This is the most touching point, in my opinion. In fact, I have long thought about taking my childhood dream as a lifelong belief, but when I think about it, I feel that many things are meaningless. So what is the point of faith? Because I have already chosen a path that does not belong to me but belongs to me. There's very little I can learn from Rudy, and I can persevere, but I don't have a dream, or rather, it's been devoured. How to let go of everything and pursue your dreams? to get it back? It's hard. I don't know how the protagonist did it. Is saving money enough? How did he make up his mind to start over? Is it because of the wishes of his friends before his death? Maybe it's that simple. But it's still hard, almost as hard as making friends with a traumatized person. That sense of isolation is the tears of this movie.

come on! I hope you can become a child too.

    A template for inspirational stories of no-talent + one-strand-shaped characters, the desire-obstacle-action paradigm is a set, which is extremely single. The impact is mainly from the adaptation of stories based on real people. According to today's aesthetics, there is nothing outstanding. "Eddie the Eagle", which is very similar from the character to the story curve, can be regarded as a good work for comparison and appreciation.

    How should I put it, if you are so stupid, you have to persist. You won’t be “successful”. It might be better if you choose to give up. But you didn’t succeed. People still don’t think you succeeded. What kind of logic is this! Maybe spirit counts as greater success? This movie made me so confused! ! ! ! ! !

Rudy quotes

  • Father Cavanaugh: [in church] Taking your appeal to a higher authority?

    Rudy: I'm desperate. If I don't get in next semester, it's over. Notre Dame doesn't accept senior transfers.

    Father Cavanaugh: Well, you've done a hell of a job kid, chasing down your dream.

    Rudy: Who cares what kind of job I did if it doesn't produce results? It doesn't mean anything.

    Father Cavanaugh: I think you'll find that it will.

    Rudy: Maybe I haven't prayed enough.

    Father Cavanaugh: I don't think that's the problem. Praying is something we do in our time, the answers come in God's time.

    Rudy: If I've done everything I possibly can, can you help me?

    Father Cavanaugh: Son, in thirty-five years of religious study, I've come up with only two hard, incontrovertible facts; there is a God, and, I'm not Him.

  • Mateus: Hey man, I just want to say sorry about what I said at practice.

    Rudy: Don't be sorry.

    Mateus: Do you understand that if you don't cool it out there you're going to get yourself killed?

    Rudy: If I cool it out there, then I won't be helping you guys win next week's game. Got it?

    Mateus: Yeah, I got it.

    Jamie O'Hara: He's just a showboat, man. That's all he's about.

    Steele: Relax, Jamie, he's just doing his job.
