The Blog
Rocky Balboa, a small-time boxer, gets an extremely rare chance to fight the heavy-weight champion Apollo Creed in which he strives to go the distance for his self-respect. This amazing heavy-weight champion doesn't really pay any mind to this "loser", Rocky Balboa. In the movie when Creed's manager was trying to gain Creed's attention about Rocky. He didn't seem so interested and was continuing to worry about getting a haircut from his barber. Creed was underestimating Rocky because he was considered a low life but little did he know Rocky was on the becoming of something big. His manager/trainer Mickey, wants to help Rocky in the exhibition match with the champion Creed. Rocky then becomes interested in this shy lady named Adrian. They slowly start to fall in love with each other and she stays by his side throughout the huge fight. Rocky has a weird way of training. He practices his jabs and combat skills on raw meat at a meat packing company. Fight promoter Jergens gets things in gear, and Rocky continues his unique way of training and Mickey helps him aw well. After a lot of training, Rocky is ready for the match, and he wants to prove that he can go the distance with Apollo Creed.
Rocky is a lower ranked person compared to Creed. This fight is something big for Rocky. The underdog gets a chance to beat the champ and give himself a name. But Creed doesn't pay any mind to Rocky. He is uninterested in what Rocky has to say since the fact that he is the champ and not Rocky. He focuses on himself more than other people since in the movie , his haircut is more important than being informed about Rocky. As all this happens, Rocky gains attention onto this lady called Adrian. She seems to be very shy and Rocky was trying to get her to change and open up. The first night Rocky was able to open her up, literally. They fell in love and she was there for him throughout his fight. Rocky changed from the beginning to the end of the movie. He was nobody collecting taxes and working for the mafia. Now he transitioned into a different person who focuses on boxing , beating Creed, and his girlfriend Adrian.
I would rate this a good movie because of the story line and how Rocky changed as a person. It is a good message because it shows that anyone can change their life and never to back down from challenges. Like the challenge he had to face of fighting Creed.
