Rocky is love story first and a boxing movie second.

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2019)

So I rewatched this movie as an adult and I realize it's not a boxing movie at all. It's a love story between a guy who thinks he is dumb and a bum and an introvert girl who thinks she isnt pretty. Rocky doesnt even want to win the match. He just wants to go the distance. At the end of the movie after the match as people try to interview him, all he does is call for adrian. Even as people are asking for a rematch he doesnt want one. He realized in that moment all he wants is her. She is what makes him feel like he is not a bum. At the end of the movie very faintly they mention that creed wins by split decision but if you are not paying attention you cant even hear it over rocky and adrian telling each other "i love you" as the movie ends. This isnt a boxing movie. It's a love story.
