However the editing for extra commercials on the free TV version is done so heavily -which alters the context- that Mr Smithee is the "director" when this film is shown there. The credited director on this version is "Alan Smithee". Jones Shea and Michael J. Shea as Rev. Michael J. User reviews Review. Top review. A terrific inspiring movie. This is a movie for everyone who ever felt like the little person, overlooked by those who were bigger or more popular.
I'm not even a sports fan but this movie got me. It shows the power of faith to get by with any frustration in life, the performances are great and it's a shame that Sean Astin had to wait eight years to get another great break with "Lord of the Rings.

He says he would host cookouts at his South Bend condo, where Notre Dame players, past and present, coaches and anyone would stop by. They'd drink beer and Rudy would tell them all -- again -- about how he had seen "Rocky" in the movie theater nearly one year to the day after his sack against Georgia Tech and, "Damn it, Coach, I'm gonna make a movie about my story because it can inspire people just like Sly Stallone did.
Rudy says you'd never know who might show up. Miller was going to help Rudy write his movie, but he never did though the diehard Fighting Irish fan did end up playing Ara Parseghian in the movie. Neither did Frank Capra Jr. Rudy was supposed to meet with screenwriter Angelo Pizzo of "Hoosiers" fame but got stood up. He says he persuaded a local mail carrier to show him Pizzo's address and banged on the door until Pizzo agreed to a meeting.
Pizzo, an Indiana University grad, said he hated Notre Dame and didn't want to be pigeon-holed in Hollywood as a guy who only wrote movies about sports in Indiana. A year later, Pizzo called back. The executive who greenlit "Hoosiers" in was now at a different studio and had money set aside to do another small sports movie.
So in early , Pizzo flew to South Bend and spent weeks walking the campus, talking with Rudy and his friends. Then he told Rudy to trust him. He understood me. He understood my spirit. I knew we had something that could really inspire people, and that's all I wanted. And Rudy wants to make clear that people like Devine and his immediate family were far more supportive of his dream than was depicted in the movie. In other words, Rudy Truthers, there's a reason the first image "Rudy" viewers see onscreen isn't a football or a golden dome.
It's this sentence: "The following is based on a true story. Astin says that all these years later, this movie is the one fans love to pick apart when they talk to him, even more than Tolkien fanatics. We head to his suburban place in Henderson, Nevada. It's nice but far from extravagant, representative of a man who lives comfortably but has never reaped millions in Hollywood riches that some might assume he has. He is talking nonstop, the stories flowing with increasing speed, as what was scheduled to be a minute cup of coffee becomes an entire day.
The garage is decorated with photos from his playing days, including the three plays he participated in a kickoff, an incomplete pass and the sack , as well as his one-year stint as a grad assistant under Devine. The centerpiece of his bedroom is a panoramic photo of Notre Dame Stadium the day the movie's game scenes were shot. The den is framed wall-to-wall with famous people, with letters from past U.
There's a framed Cigar Aficionado cover story in which Sylvester Stallone says Rudy's life is the perfect metaphor for his own. But the image Rudy is drawn to the most is from , with him alongside Brown, Bettis and Montana. I'm good with those guys," Rudy says. We talked and we're good," he said.
He lists off sportswriters, ESPN commentators and former teammates who aren't Rudy believers, careful to counter each with the names of people who are.
That wasn't what Joe was trying to do, but he did it. Then he was surprised at how big of a deal this little movie still is to people. But we talked. We're good now. As Rudy talks He's still a kid from Joliet. He's abrasive, profane and won't take no for an answer. So why the hell would I change that? So they push back. I suppose if it makes them feel better to tell people he lived in the basketball arena next to Notre Dame Stadium and not in the stadium itself, well, good for them. He still is.
The tour of his house concludes with a look at the Rudy-branded boat in his driveway, the vessel used by his teenage son's high school bass fishing team. The drive to pick up his son from that school includes phone chats with a lawyer, a contact person for his next speaking engagement and his daughter, a Boston Conservatory student, who performed alongside her father in his Broadway show.
Her passion for his story is well-known to anyone who has dared try to do her ex-husband wrong. But it is Rudy's fire that still remains the most striking, even to those who try to question his truths. It has been almost 50 years since he arrived in South Bend determined to make it onto the Notre Dame football team. Even now, sitting in a high school carpool pickup lane, he thinks of Siskel's death and all that followed, and a tear rolls down his face.
A face that is once again turning a slight tinge of rage red. There are two kinds of people. There are the ones who believe in your dreams and there are the ones who think it's their job to crush those dreams.
You know what? Let the a--holes pick on whatever they want to pick on. If it makes them happy to say no one laid a jersey down on Dan Devine's desk or that the whole team didn't carry me off the field, hey, whatever, man.
But every single day I've got people coming up to me, thanking me for bringing a little something to their lives. A couple of hours of inspiration to their lives. Veterans and kids and people dying of cancer. I'll take those people over the joy stealers.
