Rudy is too hyped. He needs to wear a huge confident smile and swagger. It is all about demeanour. IMO RG is acting. They all are. To keep suspense going and keep the lefties all relaxed.  I do not recall RG back in 2001 etc ever appearing breathless etc. I'm damn certain he's hyping on pupose.  "The shot heard across the world" only shocks the world if the actors in the movie don't look like they're winning. I'm simplifying.
