Rudy portrays resistance through giving the enemy pilot a teddy bear before the pilot dies. Rudy idolizes the U.S. Olympic track star Jesse Owens, who won four gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. As he explains to his father, he painted himself black to look like Owens as he runs. It was not at all to mock Owens rather than a boyish tribute to him. This inadvertently was an act of resistance.
