This scene, like many others in Rudy, hit you multiple times. When the team captain offers his place you get chills. Then as he walks out you see the next player, Mateus, entering and you realize not only the captain is offering this but the entire team. So moving.
Man theres way too many to choose from lol when i showed this movie to my gf for the first time she got super annoyed bc i recited like half the movie lmfao
I’d have to go with after the sack. When you see Fortune’s face and he walks away smiling and shadow boxing. He was a mentor to Rudy and made sure that he didn’t give up on his dream
The “well I’ll be damned,” look on the coaches face when Rudy gets a sack on the first and only time he lines up. Classic- to not just get into the game, RUDY proved he belonged there with that grasp at his moment.
I saw Sean Astin signing autographs at Toronto Comic Con this past weekend. If only somebody in the line came up to his booth, placed a University of Notre Dame football jersey on the table like this so he can sign it.....
I had always suspected that this isn't QUITE white happened, but nevertheless, this scene made me cry. The fact that so many starting players were willing to sit out for the final game of the year because they knew that Rudy deserved to play in at least one game before he graduated, was absolutely beautiful. It's a shame that selflessness such as this is so rare.
The Cinematic production of the movie Rudy based on the story of Rudy Ruettiger was one of the two greatest sports themes movies involving the wondrous collaboration between producer-writer Angelo Pizzo and magnificent movie soundtrack creator the late Jerry Goldsmith. The other one of course everybody knows was Hoosiers in 1986. I haven't looked into it but if the Board of Governors for the Oscars or the American Film Institute never gave a Lifetime Achievement Award to Jerry Goldsmith before he passed away it is a major National Crime. Look online and RU-vid and you will see the many wonderful movie scores that he created and orchestrated. He did receive an Oscar for the music of the first Omen movie with Gregory Peck. The movies involve such Productions as Alien (1979); LA confidential( 1997); Papillon( 1973); a Patch of Blue ( 1965); Patton( 1970); the Sand Pebbles (1966l; Star Trek: The Motion Picture; the Wind & The Lion( 1975); Freud( 1962); the Planet of the Apes( 1968); Chinatown( 1974); The Boys from Brazil( 1978); Poltergeist( 1982); Basic Instinct( 1992). According to Wikipedia he received seven Emmy Awards from 1961 to 1995 which included the themes from Thriller in 1961, The Man from Uncle in 1966, the red pony 1973 QBv11; Babe( 1976); Masada( 1981); Star Trek Voyager( 1995). He has a host of other awards for other Productions including the golden raspberry Awards, satellite Awards,. A Wikipedia search shows numerous TV production themes dating back to the 1950s. Goldsmith who was born February 10th 1929 and died July 21st 2004 was belatedly acknowledged posthumously for a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2017. His oldest son Joel Goldberg who died in 2012 also assisted in production with his father. As admitted by the real Rudy Ruettiger who is an active motivational speaker as well as Sean Astin( actor who played in Rudy and whose father John Astin was a prominent actor playing in the TV series The Munsters. How people can grow up is that Sean Astin played in The Goonies as a young boy in 1985.) It was admitted by both of them in real life that there wasn't such a scene of all the players coming to Dan to Vines office to give their uniforms questing him to be able to be played in the final game against Georgia Tech, however it was verified that there were two players at the time who approached Dan Devine about doing it. As you will recognize the actor playing Dan Devine also played the temporary coach before Normandale played by Gene Hackman came on the scene at Hickory.
Your a captain and an alll american, i believe i am a team is not just one but also others as well that took guts am i shy to meet new people know a nice young man gave me a banna when i walked to a temple was it worth leaving my own steve nash jersey their at a temple that is open to the public for vistors, yes it truly was
Season 1 Episode 5. Mack points out that Will cried in this scene. Later Will pays a reporter to stop attacking him where he then stands up for his crew. Then one by one his crew comes in and drops off a small check that would add up to what he paid the reporter. Fantastic episode, fantastic show.
When the team captain walks into the head coach's office, there is a pen holder with two pens on the edge of the desk, shown at 0:20. Since laying the jerseys on top of the pen holder would have caused them to tent (instead of lay flat), it is conveniently missing before the jerseys are laid on his desk at 0:45
It's hard to get past the Anderson (#1) jersey blooper, and Roland's stare down is too hard, but nonetheless certainly one of the best scenes in one of my all-time favorite movies.
you got it almost right - the cheque he wrote to pay off the reporter he crossed out and told her to stop what she was writing or he'd hurt her publicly as much as he could for as long as he could. the cheques the crew brought in was for the money Will paid (out of his own pocket) for the reporter in Egypt that was captured and then ransomed.
Most of the movie is based in truth to a great degree except for its depiction of Dan Devine. He wasn't anywhere the asshole they portrayed him to be. He was for Rudy playing. That is major dramatization on their part but still understandable for the flow of the movie and to make people understand that even if a person of power is against you, do not be deterred
Get your facts straight, more than half this movie is based on facts. Yes there was no Pete, and after High School, Rudy actually enlisted and served in the navy. Plus, Dan Devine was nothing like he was portrayed here. He was actually one of Rudy’s biggest motivators but allowed the film to portray him as an antagonist, to make the film better.
I was a freshmen in high school all seniors as me if I want to join them on field I like sure and they all push on field on kick off I hit him all I got 45 seconds left senior night all seniors carry me of field
When I give summaries like that I kind of twist the facts incase he gets interested in it. I vaguely described what happened so that if anyone reads my comment and hasn't seen it yet their facts will be off so therefore I didn't spoil anything. It's a great show
continuity error.. @ 1:23 #70 (who was actually Steve Niehaus, not what looks like "Borisy") lays his jersey on top of the jersey of #1 "Anderson" (even though #1 in 1975 was Kerry Moriarty..).. three more jerseys pass, then at 1:33 they repeat it #70. ALSO. #21 was Daniel Knott, not "Roland" or whatever.
except they were all like rudy and were on the practice squad who were getting their chance of running out on the field, but since they knew it meant more to rudy they wanted him to go in their place. so in my mind that was more meaningful.
you shouldn't discourage people when the very fact they are watching this clip is because of that show. I'm not American so most of your sport movies don't play in cinemas here as they don't tend to do well at the box office
I don't feel that the issue should be so much whether this did or didn't happen; yes, we do want to know that, and it is a legitimate question. However, I think the more important point is that this is what the players could have done, and would have done for Rudy. Perhaps Devine was furious, but he also must take into account that it is a movie and there is fiction mixed in even with movies based on true stories. I have no problem with this not being fully accurate.
Can I ask a question?When high school football players go to college on their football scholarship,do they just go to play football or do they have to adhere to some sort of academic grade system in order for them to play?
They have to adhere to some sort of academic grade system in order to remain eligible to play. How tightly a university enforces the academic standards varies greatly from school to school.
The real Dan Devine wasn't as bad as the movie portrays him, but we can forgive that, since the real Dan Devine agreed to be the bad guy just for Rudy's sake.
@vuzedfg Ya, but why is there made up events like this one? Even though it is a movie, people get a false impression about it without knowing the truth. Thats all
