Topics
Bill Simmons: 本片为双段式电影,前半段冗长乏味,后半段却成为影史最佳体育电影之一。其核心在于对梦想的执着追求,以及现实与理想的冲突。电影的真实性与虚构性也引发了广泛讨论,评价两极分化,有人视若珍宝,有人深恶痛绝。 Kyle Brandt: 同样认为电影前半部分平淡,后半部分精彩绝伦,是影史最佳体育电影之一。他本人深受圣母大学氛围感染,每次观看都会感动落泪。他认为电影可以被解读为一部关于为梦想不懈奋斗的励志电影,也可以被解读为一部关于一个令人难以忍受的年轻人为短暂的成功而牺牲一切的电影。他从小就梦想为圣母大学橄榄球队效力,虽然最终未能实现,但他仍然为这部电影感动落泪,并认为电影的真实性与虚构性是2024年人们讨论《Rudy》的焦点,一部分批评源于对圣母大学的偏见,以及电影中虚构成分的揭露。Rudy虽然励志,却也是个令人讨厌的自恋狂。
