Rudy - Quitting

[AntiMTVMovement]

I wonder what this Fortune guy would say to somebody who can't find a prom date.

[alokoall]

even if it was fiction its still like one of the best movies ever made

[greymoose1000]

RUDY = FICTION!!!

[TheInformativeBAG]

@greymoose1000 Rudy is made based on a true story of the life of Daniel Ruettiger, thanks.

[greymoose1000]

@TheInformativeBAG Even JOE MONTANA, who the MOOSE recalls having played at DOMER LAND, said RUDY was fiction. Montana could not even recall who he was.

[bre22f]

IN THIS LIFETIME YOU DONT HAVE TO PROVE NOTHING TO NOBODY EXCEPT YOURSELF!!!

[sonof9411]

which movie is this?

[rtf3431]

@sonof9411

Terminator 2

[RoiidRage]

@sonof9411 its called rudy

[paulwg9659]

Outstanding acting and great speech on not quitting and on life in general! Great . Just great.

[intelDgamer]

@SAOrules you know why you don't seem to get anywhere?because you have a LITTLE hope!you need to be 100% confident and grab life by the balls

[darknessprince6]

They really don't make movies like this anymore.

[SAOrules]

This makes me sad, I am working myself to the ground in baseball but i can't seem to get anywhere. But i have a little hope.

[dspm90]

I reckon hard work is only admirable if it's done for yourself. If you have to tell everyone else about it, then it's done for other people - it's done for your ego. A lot of popular comments on here are egotistical. Achievements don't mean shit if you tell everyone about it.

[plbernstein92]

@dspm90 although if you do things to show that you can, like rudy, there's something admirable in that.

[dspm90]

@plbernstein92 I was referring to people's comments, saying all of the wonderful things they've apparently done. I'm not taking away anything from the movie.

[Celfers34]

NEVER GIVE UP

[Celfers34]

So Sad I was told my freshmen year I would never succeed because being 6 foot 120 pounds playing for one of the biggest high schools and best basketball programs in ohio i would not play so I was cut. My 10th grade year I made the team and lead the state in points per game and rebounds same with Junior year I tore my Acl. I was told to not play sports again but hell no I worked hard and let my team to the State title an just finished my last year of Division 1 basketball and will declare 4 draft

[LibertyChiropractic]

Never quit

[crashout]

PROOOVE WHAT?! hahahaha

[TheRocketman1989]

what is with all the dumb LOTR crap here?

[Ikesgurl123]

@TheRocketman1989 Lord of the rings isn't crap

[Lurvy1963]

That's what the hockey players in the Vancouver Canucks' dressing room were chanting and calling defenseman Lee Sweatt because of his size. RUDY!! RUDY!! RUDY!! The Vancouver Canucks saw this movie. And guess what? Lee Sweatt (5'7 tall) scored his first goal in his first NHL game on January 25, 2011 against the Nashville Predators. Looks like this movie was an inspiration for him and to anybody who would like to get over the negative thought of being too small to play the game. Any game.

[Darwyn7]

every time i think I want to quit drinking i just watch this video and remember not to quit

[10231js]

Whoever disliked this video is a communist.

[BblockB3]

honestly if you hit dislike, you must be some form of a terrorist...

[DannyBling]

@BblockB3 fishing for likes? I think so...

[BblockB3]

@DannyBling wtf does a "like" do 4 me ,dick kisser? 

[MLIPHANTOM22]

im 5' tall and im on the 8th grade football team. people told be i wasnt big enough. this year i started linebacker and full back

[DannyBling]

@MLIPHANTOM22 Want a cookie?

[PennyWisee14]

the 2 dislikes are Quitters

[danjpeters]

your 5' nothn and 100 nothn and hardly a spec of ability..powerful!

[TheWhiteDeath505]

Let me get this straight. This guy was a bodyguard to Frodo, he was fighting for his life everyday, the fate of middle earth was in his hands, he fought thousands of creatures and he marched through Mordor to destroy the most powerful thing in the world. And he's crying and getting upset over a bloody football game? He needs to sort out his priorities.

[TheBrandonAdam]

when i was 11 years old i remember i was about 4'7 70 lbs. I played barely enough to get grass on my pants. We made it to the championship game. The coach puts me in at defensive back. they ran an option play to opposite side of the field chased the man down ran about 50 yards in 6 seconds fought through 4 blockers and saved a touchdown. We eventually went into overtime but lost on 1 yard line 4th down. That was my last time playing regulated football.

[TheDJJRoc]

i luv dis part

[MrRob2010]

why do i hear birds????? never heard it in the movie.

[jcgamer107]

"You're 5 feet nothin'! 100 and nothin'!" One of the best lines ever.

[Hunkola]

Black groundskeeper has the best lines in this movie --- "You're five feet nothin.....a hundred and nothing......and you got hardly a speck of athletic ability"

[Houdini774]

Dreams are like stars. You might never touch them, but they will lead you to your destiny.

[ipi223]

@Houdini774  great comment

[thatoneirishkoreaguy]

@Houdini774 theres an old saying I heard once: Id rather aim for the moon and miss than aim for the gutter and make it.

[Goaliekid123]

@Houdini774 <3

[chetumalkid]

@Houdini774 "If you shoot for the sun, you´ll hit at least one star"

[HomemadeNub]

@Houdini774 congrats man you just told yourself you would never reach your dreams

[baugusgatlin]

this scene will always be my favorite cause.

it proof's two things.

1. if you quit something you love, you will regret it.

2.there is nothing harder to do then follow you're dreams.

[fordpowerstroke40]

gives me chills up my back

[elherodelaguitara]

"It starts with a dream. Never quit"

-Rudy Ruettiger #45

Thats what he told me when I shook his hand.

[RHCT247]

"And this is for my old gaffer!"

[KenFan4life]

Charles S Dutton's Alien 3 speech was still better imo.

[xmanoro]

maybe cuz were tired of seeing the old washed up white guy do it

[WohnerontheRadio]

I despise this scene. Why does every sports movie have to have the "cool, wise, washed up" black guy that helps the protagonist see the light. So cliche, just like the rest of this movie.

[Interloper83]

@WohnerontheRadio Its like the movie Avatar. Where the natives cant quite get rid of the bad guys. But then a white guy joins ranks and he just so happens to be able to ride that fucking death bird and he leads them to victory. In reality he would have infected their blankets with small pox.

[MrJT20101]

damn! that was a powerful statement fortune! (the groundskeeper's name)

[Trackrunnerful]

i feel like rudy. I've improved 12 seconds in the 400 meter dash in one year. I got cut my sophomore year and now im going to run track in college. this is so cool!!! i love this movie.

[1000dollarHotdog]

@Trackrunnerful i feel the same way bro. My senior year i did high jump in track and was cut from the indoor high jump team. But after watching this i motivated myself to be the best and made the outdoor track team. i gain 10 inches in 2 months and became the number 1 high jumper in my league, and a top contender in my state. I'm now gonna do high jump in a div 1 college. Just like the janitor said," in this lifetime you don't have to prove something to nobody but yourself.and that what i did.

[Trackrunnerful]

@1000dollarHotdog that's awesome. I'm still a junior though. It was one of the most satisfying experiences to watch this video after such a tremendous improvement. Next year, I hope to follow in your footsteps and run at state :D

Good luck in college.

[rns12]

proooooooove what

[DrAsaDonBrown]

Don't let anyone steal your dreams!!!

[WanderleiSilva29]

i think Rudy should have told the janitor to go fuck himself after his speech... and quit the team anyway.

The movie would have had a better ending if it ended with Rudy getting a job at McDonalds after he quit.

[bobby3321]

hahahahahhahaha.....

[Jayakody75]

I read somewhere the the janitor WAS real (IIRC). I think it was from Rudy's book. Anyways, it's a great scene - when the character is at his lowest point, somebody comes and rescues him. We all need to help each other.

Rudy used the Hidden Secret in Think and Grow Rich by really nailing step 1 and 2. The rest came naturally IMHO.

[maximusgladiatordm]

I always wondered too if the janitor was real or just put in for dramatic effect. Good to know it was real!

@genpatton75 The Hidden Secret in Think and Grow Rich is a great book! It helped frame and see how everybody achieves their respective goals. I can see how Rudy used it. He had great PPAs that were greatly influenced and some SPAs too and the janitor as his sort of mastermind as well. Cool to see Rudy using the natural process of goal achievement.

[mongoose704]

He was a mix of inspirational characters in Rudy's life.

[F0Xhound009]

great scene

[genpatton75]

I wonder if the janitor was real (or if it was just put in for the movie).

Either way, it's amazing how just ONE person's words can change our lives forever.

The janitor for me was my oldest brother. He gave me the courage to quit the job I hated and to start my own business. Best decision I made and I never looked back ever since.

If you love motivational stuff like this, I highly recommend reading Brian Kim's The Hidden Secret in Think and Grow Rich. It really helped change my life.

[KingVerac]

yea he was so real, Rudy talks about him in his documentary, its so awesome :)

[lopane1970]

pourquoi il est impossible de retrouvé ce" film en version française(en dvd)

il m'a énormément aider

ou puis je le trouvé..c'est mon guide

[numberjuanchicano]

This part hit home. My freshman year I lead my state in sacks but had to move schools my sophmore year. The coach at my new school would not start me because I was too small no matter how hard I worked or proved myself. I made a player cry in practice that plays WR in the NFL today. He remebers me till this day. This coach killed my dreams and I eventually quit playing football and started getting in trouble. And not a day goes by when I dont regret letting that coach get the best of me.

[go5gum]

wow. who was the receiver

[dtsteam1]

@numberjuanchicano Teams have try outs as well but you have to bust your balls to get on it if you say you are as good as you are then shoot for it dont come on here and bitch about it.

[2d181]

@numberjuanchicano whats the wr's name?

[singapore7773]

@numberjuanchicano wow. great story. i was very athletic as a teen. i quit everything. i recently rode my bicycle 3600miles alone across aussie. i thought of this movie when times got tuff

[1967mustanggta]

@numberjuanchicano Won't ask who - none of my business but pretty amazing and sad story. I coach youth football and really try to keep their spirits up, learning to be part of the team effort, no braggarts, bullies or show offs. Win or lose I want them confident and looking forward to the next level really feeling they can succeed. Can't imagine a man calling himself coach and allowing what happened to you to occur.

I strongly suggest you coach and make a difference in somebody's life!

[HomemadeNub]

@numberjuanchicano whats the NFL players name?

[MrTukangojek]

@numberjuanchicano you got all my respect brotha!

[MarkRadar29]

this got me through Marine Office Candidate School

[zakewake]

gooooood

[china1027]

Great speech..very inspirational....right now i am in the process to prove myself as a women!!!

[tomizzo11]

20 bucks you're a man

[china1027]

how about $100??? lol

[jgattorno]

I remember failing the LAPD test 3 times. I was told that I was going to be nobody in life. There was a professor from college that believe in my dream. I went back took the test passed and know I'm a Police Officer for the LAPD. My dream came true. But it takes hard word to accomplish what you want in life. Just GO FOR IT!

[blkngld08]

there are many sports movies with that inspirational scene. Many filmmakers mistake by making the powerful scene a speech before the big game. This little speech, this little scene has the most power out of many movies that i have seen.

[nkyboi0707]

dude ur right thts why ive always loved this movie

[SAOrules]

True, because in baseball its often not the big things that are said to someonet hat affects one's actions, but the little things, said in the dugout, on the mound, from player to player, that can make all the difference.

[johnnyx156]

Probably the most inspirational seen in this movie..

[nyerndc]

Man this movie is inspirational.

[nkyboi0707]

this is sweet i luv this movie
