From a nobody to somebody

Rating: Null/10 (17 February 2003)

There's more to this movie than a man coming up from the streets of Philadelphia. It's about a man who's modest that nobody cares for except maybe his friend Paulie. Until the heavyweight boxing champion of the world Apollo Creed gives an underdog (Rocky) a title shot. Rocky feels he's not in his league and all of a sudden people started treating him better. Even though Rocky had nothing to lose by fighting the champ (Apollo Creed) he had everything to gain like his dignity and self-worth. He found a new lover (Adrian) and the famous town boxing manager wanted to take Rocky under his wing. Things were looking better for Rocky and also his loan-shark boss contribute some ends for Rocky to prepare for the fight. It seems that everybody started to care about Rocky. The most thing I honored about Rocky is that he always had a good heart that's probably why people in his town supported him. Rocky was a man who care about people in his community like taking a ignorant young lady off the street late at night,brought a drunk inside the bar from which he passed out on the sidewalk,and cut a deal with a guy that owed his boss money. A real noble man. The only reason I see people neglecting Rocky because they feel such a good man could do much better for himself. Rocky is a true people's champion. Stallone's best movie of them all. This movie tells us that America is the land of opportunity and the decisions we make could make us or break us. You could be poor today or rich tomorrow.
