‘Rudy’ to show USA Team

Highlighting the theme ‘USE Team’, filmmaker David Anspaugh’s movie ‘Rudy’ will be screened at 6 pm on June 1 at the American Center, Galle Road, Colombo-3.

Based on a true story, ‘Rudy’ is an account of the life of Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger, who harbored dreams of playing football at the University of Notre Dame despite significant obstacles and it was named as one of the best 25 sports movies.

Rudy stars Sean Astin as Rudy Ruettiger, a blue-collar kid whose father (Ned Beatty) worships Notre Dame football but who would never dare to dream that any of his sons could be a part of the team.

The film is entirely about Ruettiger’s ceaseless if sometimes wavering commitment toward that goal, despite tremendous obstacles in physical stature, education requirements, the dismissiveness of coaches, poverty, his father’s envy, and endless delays of one kind or another.

‘Rudy’ is a movie that looks back on a life and says the battle was its own reward, not the glory.
