Rudy Movie The Real Story Rudy Ruettiger Sean Astin 

I’m reading it with tears 🥹

Our lady is the best ally

I guess I’m dead because this guy absolutely sucked had shitty grades and aggravated the piss out of people until he got what he wanted persistence is the only thing he was good at

Who cares what they think! Their not you!

Stop putting power into other people’s thoughts of what you like and dislike. This story is a bold-faced lie and yours is probably better than the real Rudy’s. You don’t need a fraud to make you feel better about your life, you’ve made it this far and didn’t have to lie about your life on a mass scale or scam the stock market to reach some sick, money-hungry goal like the “real” Rudy.

Until they face a struggle of their own and can’t deal with it.

I guess you're psychic or something. Some of these natural athletes probably feel this movie more because they know how lucky it is to be blessed with winning the genetic lottery.

I love it when an underdog succeeds.

Ben Hur sorry but you definitely should not be making a key assumption that you are making: that the screen play for this movie is essentially a dramatized form of what “the real” Rudy said happened in those years; that if something happened in the movie, at least something significant, it must have been told by Rudy to the filmmakers or written in his memoirs or whatever. ... the truth of how film making works is very different. Remember, this is a drama that is “based on a true story”, not a documentary. Sure the writers use Rudy’s versions of events as a foundation but yes they will definitely embellish it to make it more dramatic, inspirational, and above all else more likely to please reviewers and sell more tickets at the theatre. Most true stories, even if remarkable, aren’t entertaining enough or in line enough with what film watchers used to Hollywood style films expect, so like in most every movie that claims to be “based on a true story” the writers here certainly embellished. This approach is nothing new and nothing unique to the film “Rudy”, and you should not blame the real Rudy for inaccuracies or mischaracterizations that appear in the film. I do agree though that when a film like Rudy makes someone look bad based on events that did not happen in real life it is unfortunate because so many people (like yourself until you learned the truth) watch movies like this and assume most everything they see really happened.

I hope you're reading this and you're 88.

(WAYNE KOEPPEL ) Dude you better go lay down somewhere and get you a nap !

@@johnnymohler3381 have some respect you friggin DICKHEAD!

iambs11 This perfectly describes me.

Me too !

@@PlateletRichGel you need to grow up.

@@joskimengstrom2853 Boy do I !

lilGaryBusey ME TOO!!!!

Scott Allman don't let him give up scouts I'm an eagle scout

Any updates?

Scott Allman what happened

Hutch My guess is nothing, sometimes dreams are just dreams.

It's been 5 years. What happened?

Couldn't agree more. And while Sean Astin was solid in the role, you can't replace the felt authenticity of the real person recalling the story. In his face and voice you can see that these events deeply shaped his outlook on life.

I TOOK YOUR DARE! I....failed. #GOIRISH

Took the dare. I lost.

Didn't make it

Huge notre dame fans there

Great Story.

It’s not true

@@somchai9033 because someone told you it wasn't true? Or because the Hollywood movie didn't follow the actual events to a T?

Joe Montana said they carried him off the field as a joke

@@ezio_Winchester yep lol

Great guy who told his side if the show that made him a humble hero in the Notre Dame story..seen.it.alot

Be safe in your service to keep us safe!

@@dougthegreat1808 - Thanks..., if your comment was for me, I have long since retired, and thankful I am no longer in that line of work - not in today's world.

@Jeffrey Epstein’s Rotten Corpse - I expect some movies to stretch the truth, but what they did was a bit too much..., glad I didn't know the truth back then..., never would have gotten me through what I had to get through. I remember the scene where the players were coming in and tossing their jerseys on the desk - I had doubts about that, but I was a lot younger and naïve. Thanks for the information....

@@greenbeagle13 good morning it was! I "here" you when you say in today's world... let's hope things will continue in the executive branch this November.....

Yeah it is getting dusty in here

Mike Weber exactly

@Grizzly Echols oh, so the movie was meant to be watched?

@Grizzly Echols lol, if you thought it was a documentary you are an idiot.

@@joskimengstrom2853 It is presented as being true. At least the inspiration part. That was also contrived. Even the idea that the team carried him off on their shoulders. The reality was that two guys picked him up and carried him off as a joke because that was how they saw him. You know he was convicted of securities fraud using his self created fame to con people out of their money. Thanks, Rudy for showing us how easy it is to scam and con people out of their money. Your an inspiration to con men everywhere. You succeeded with your movie, but with the securities not so much.

@@WILTALK Wait, now it's just two guys, there you go making shit up again. People should take a look at your dumbass comments all over here, it is actually entertaining how full of shit you are.

Rent it again so I can watch it with you.

Pussy

***** in your opinion

Amen

Gigitty

j3m1f8 said it so well

j3m1f8 I know a woman at my job who loves this movie even though she's not a football fan. The message of Ridy is: Don't give up on your dreams.

@@rockvilleraven *Rudy 🤯✌

@Carlos Hernandez *Well *story 🤯 ✌

Awesome for you! One of my best friends has dyslexia and he holds a PhD in optical engineering and hold several patents. No limits

Way to go....never let anyone say you can't.

Me too

What Ahole told you to go pick up luggage?

I’ll pray for your soul. Lol. Goooooooooo IRISH!!!!!

But it lead to him going to prison for securities fraud.

@@WILTALK Jesus, this fucking guy. For the last time (hopefully), he did not go to prison. He paid a hefty fine for a securities fraud beef 8 years ago and never went to jail.

@UCCIBRNyS7StEV4deGCnI5TA Damn he's a creep

Me too.

(Kevin Prima) Nice ! Lmao !

You at least contributed to on the field. Rudy was never going to contribute to the team. And do not believe that he was an inspiration. The players thought he was a pest. And the ending of the movie created a false narrative implying that he was carried off the field by his teammates because he was an inspiration and they admired him. The reality was that a couple guys picked him up and put him on their shoulders as a joke. All the inspiration stuff was created via Hollywood magic. He spent all that time just so he could say he played for ND for two plays in garbage time. The guy used this movie to promote himself and it eventually led to his conviction of securities fraud.

@Jason Kejn lol right you are man, wiltalk sounds like some jelly Ignorant bastard that could never make it on any team, or pussed out from even trying lol

@@johnnymohler3381 Oh you should see some of the totally made up shit he posted, what a maroon.

So what potential did Rudy fulfill? To play two downs in garbage time? What a way to expend one's energies.

@@WILTALK You are a relentless little shit aren't you? Belittle a man for having a dream, even one you might think is insignificant. You think you could play two downs of college ball? I'm not talking that community college you probably dropped out of, I'm talking big time where the tackle rips your head off and shits down your neck hole college ball. Nobody goes onto that field who is a half-assed little shit like you, they earn it.

What a moron. Rudy is a fraud and a stock scammer. Grow up.

What's sad it's a pastor or w.e that guy was a man of god telling a young man hes nothing but an idiot crushing someone's dream

strongest muscle u have is ur mind

Nice write up. You'd have to admit they just didn't know the ramifications of head injuries back then.

Fan 1: Who's Rudy? Fan 2: I guess the little midget that just lined up offsides.

The movie game was the only game where the chant happened. The whole inspiration storyline was all contrived.

@@WILTALK The only thing you've been right on so far, a pebble of truth in a deep sea of bullshit lies and moronic fairy tales you dreamed up like Rudy in civics class. Fucking moron.

Rob Johnson I came here to be inspired instead I find ego maniacs and keyboard cowboys trading insults . Somedays I wish the internet was never invented , it’s brought out a nastiness in people that is way beyond what’s required to prove a point .

Yes... But the chant began after Rudy made the sack.

I saw the movie when I got home from school

They Cheerleading Rudy Rudy Rudy Rudy Rudy Rudy Rudy Rudy Rudy Rudy

Yeah ok buckwheat. Sure you were there

Yea i was there too..even tho i was born in 86..i was totally there

@@anthonycocciolone4782 .... you were there in spirit...... that's all that counts

Shit man I saw the movie and I thought I knew what to expect but it hit me at the end

Not me just cutting some onions

Me too.

Me too

The only movie I ever cried to

The invincible was real. Other than the fact he was a walk-on at ND and was in for the last two plays, the movie Rudys basic storyline about inspiration was all contrived.

He certainly got what he deserved when he had to pay over $300,000 in fines for his involvement in a “dump and pump” scheme.

Actually no that would be much more difficult

Troy D. Why, he was not a good player.

Robert Fernandez so you are telling me a kid who made the practice team of the best football program in the country is a bad player? Even when he was super small compared to everyone? Lol i bet you cant even make the tryouts

He actually played the last 3 plays. Notre dame was up by alot so why not put him in.

Rudy survived two full seasons playing on the scrub team at Notre Dame... He got his moment of glory and went down in history. What have you done?

What have you accomplished?

@@gregorydowney5410 So you think playing two downs of football in garbage time is something that everyone should shoot for as a life goal? The history was a result of creative movie enhancement of the actual bare facts. If not for that there was no glory or history. It was all smoke and mirrors. Movies have always made heroes out of villains and villains out of heroes. They can make something as simple as delivering mail sounds interesting and exciting. Rudy's glory was created in the movie not on the field. There are many stories of actual bench riders coming in and making game winning contributions. Those should be the focus of inspiration. There was a recent story of a mentally challenged boy who was on the basketball team almost like a mascot who out of necessity came into a game and scored in double figures to help his team win. That is inspiring. Not a contrived story about a con artist.
