Once you've watched rocky your life will never be the same.i can tell you by personal experience that my life changed completely.
Rocky is more than just a boxing movie. Rocky is about going after your dreams when the opportunity arises. Everyone can relate to being the underdog, to being the down and out guy without a chance of actually being the one to come out on top. Rocky Balboa uses boxing as a metaphor to just capitalize on the great opportunities that come by in life.
One of my favorite scenes that I feel makes Rocky so special is the night before the fight. Rocky wonders around the stadium, and then goes back home to Adrian to say "he can't beat him." This is a moment where Rocky sort of admits defeat; it's a gripping, captivating scene that displays the more gritty realism of Rocky. Everyone from time to time has those moments of doubt, where they realize that it just ain't realistic and feasible. This shows the depth and character of Rocky, almost as if he has sort of been broken down. At this time, Rocky just decides that "All he wants to do is go the distance. Nobodies ever gone the distance with Creed, and if the bell rings and I'm still standing... maybe I'll realize I wasn't just another bum for the neighborhood." This scene is so pivotal in marking a fairy-tale movie like Rocky so much more gritty and realistic.
Rocky is just such a magical, emotional, powerful film. You feel like your in it with Rocky, and during the fight scene your standing up screaming for Rocky. It's such an incredible experience. It's sentimentalism at its best. The acting is terrific all across the board. Burgess Meredith is perfect as Rocky's trainer. Talia Shire is great as the love interest. And ......... Sylvester Stallone was born to play the down and out, lovable boxer.
an Epic movie not to be missed....
