All I can say about this film is "Wow This Was Amazing!" Taking into consideration that this film was made back in 1976, it still caught my attention like how new movies do now. Even though it's a boxing film, and the boxing was very limited in this movie. It still was able to capture the best elements that makes a good film: character development, setting, plot, and climax. Everything about this film was just so intriguing and made me want to know more. From the beginning part where he has a first fight, and he looks to be getting beat, all the way to training and fighting one of the best boxers Apollo Creed at the end. Even before you go to criticize this film, you can't ignore the fact how motivating and inspiring this film is to anybody of any age.
This film/series has probably has one of the best examples of the American Dream ever. This shows the struggles and setbacks an average [missing subject] has when they [change in number?] reaching dream, but its shows that you could achieve what you dream and more and be able to live how you want. The American Dream to me is no matter what (challenges, setbacks, struggles, or disadvantages) you could achieve exactly what you dream and want just by giving it 100% and having hard work and determination [Good].
The beginning of the film shows Rocky as a struggling boxer, employee to a loan shark named Gazzo(Joe Spinell), and an underdog multiple people call a bum. Rocky also develops a big admiration to pets and then becomes romantically involved with Adrian (Talia Shire), this girl who worked at the pet store he brought his pets from [Daryll, Excellent post thus far; however, it ends rather abruptly and would benefit from additional analysis especially of one or more specific scenes. I look forward to reading more from you. MM]
