Say what you want - It just works!

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2006)

Yeah, you can come along with deep, dramatic and artistic films. Movies about true life. Movies with the greatest special effects ever shown. Stories, written by the best-payed screen writers ever to be. Bring in Kubrick. Send me Scorsese. Come on, Kurosawa. Don't be shy, Coppola. Hurry, Leone. Bring'em all in. I will just sit calm on the fancy couch with my shoes on the fancy couch table and tell them that the script and the performance of a young, broke Italian guy touched and moved me more than all of them ever did.
Yes, I call ROCKY one of the best movies ever.
Yes, I call the training sequence one of the most inspiring moments in history.
Yes, I call Rocky Balboa one of the greatest guys I ever got to know.
ROCKY is a religion. ROCKY's there for you, if you don't feel like doing, trying anything anymore. When you're plain crap on the floor, then ROCKY is the thing to lift you up. The story of this naive bum from Philadelphia, who had a miserable life with one little sparkle in the darkness, which he took and turned into a big fire.
The will is the most powerful force in the world, Rocky Balboa showed us. And damn, every time he does it again, I feel the old shiver running down my spine and I say quietly "Go and get them, Rock!"
