A story about indomitable human spirit

Rating: 9/10 (27 May 2005)

This is the story of a human spirit ... This is not a boxing movie ... This is a story not about winning but about going the distance ...... This is a story of survival against all odds ... This is the story of one Rocky Balboa an Italian stallion ... A fighter who according to his coach has a heart but no talent . So many times in life we give up due to self pity .... we think that what we have is not enough .... This is all bullshit ... we only need to try our level best and give our best shot ... in whichever profession or career you are in when up against insurmountable odds just go the distance even if u fall short of success it doesn't matter... u r still a winner ...... Rocky ends with this amazing moral ... Watching Sylvester stallone in this movie made me wonder if it is the same actor i saw in his later pathetic productions ..... This is his one and only good film the sequels to rocky are the same hollywoodish feel-good movies not really worth watching ... some of the moments and dialougues in the movie stuck to my heart and made me cry ....... Stallone give the performance of his lifetime as rocky balboa a man who is criticized by even his closest friends as a no good bum. The final boxing scene is very realistic ... the movie on the whole is very realistic ... this movie is about a true champion ... a core fighter at heart ..... it is the story of an underdog who lives his dream ... it is the story of a free spirit ...... embark on an emotional journey of a lifetime with stallone ...he didn't need to act in this movie he was just rocky .... A definite must see movie ... if you ever feel down and out in life watch this movie i guarantee u that it will change your life
