Rocky. Joemar Aviles

We just recently finished watching the movie Rocky. The movie takes place in the heart of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The home of Independence Hall (1976). The movie was directed by John G. Avildsen. Sylvester Stallone played in the movie as Rocky. During the beginning of the movie the filmmakers show Rocky as a dead beat amateur boxer that can barely win a boxing match.

They also show him as a hypocrite because in one of the scene of the movie he told a little girl not to drink or smoke, but he does both himself. They also showed Rocky as being a part time loan shark, but as the movie goes on portrayed that he is not a  good loan shark because he has  a soft side to him. He's a pet lover as myself, I have a pet turtle and it mean sentimental value to me because I had it for so long, sensitive but tries to hide it at the same time, Rocky tries to hide his soft side by acting like a manly manner or in other words be the head honcho in the movie, because he doesn't like to be portrayed as a soft person.



During the film it shows how Rocky got this enormous deal to fight against one of the best fighters there is reigning and undefeated heavyweight champion of the world Apollo Creed. It showed how Rocky used his unique ways to actually train his body for the big fight. For example, he would go to a meat freezer. The film showed that it wasn't just a sports movie. It showed that the film was also a romance and motivational movie to the viewer.
