Shawn Luzzi, More Rocky Thoughts (Spoilers, ye)

More Rocky thoughts (Spoilers ye)

Intro to Film studies 9/9/14

Shawn Luzzi

Watching more of Rocky, I have to say that I am quite impressed with this movie so far, especially in terms of the characters. With the upcoming fight against Apollo Creed, the champion boxer, it's obvious that he thinks highly of himself. With the montages of Rocky's training coming and going, Apollo is always seen lounging around in his office. This may also connect to Apollo's own name, as the name Apollo comes from a Greek God. 

Other than Apollo, Adrian makes some more interesting character moments as she keeps breaking out of her shy shell. She seems to be talking more, being with Rocky more, and especially standing up to her brother Paulie when he suddenly takes out a bat and telling Adrian that she owes him. When suddenly she grabs him by the collar and yelled back, "WHAT DO I OWE YOU?!" And listing off that she helps him, not vice versa.
