Rocky
I have never seen a Rocky movie. However, I am really enjoying it. What i like the most about the movie is how Rocky's personality contradicts with his physical appearance. When you first meet Rocky, you see a well built boxer, with a strong muscular voice. This gives you the impression that he mainly cares for himself and would have a very short temper. But in reality, he is the complete opposite. In the first scene, he was in a boxing match, in which he won, and right after the match, he went into the locker room and bummed a cigarette off someone. Also on his way home, he was drinking from a beer bottle. Athletes, would not do this after a match/game it will harm their body.
Another scene that stuck out to me was when Rocky finally arrived at his apartment. In this scene, the first thing he does is go feed his pet turtle. As he is feeding his pet, he sparks up a conversation stating, "Oh I did great you should have been there." He makes sure his pet turtle has enough to eat before he walked towards a mirror, and rehearse a joke he was going to tell a sweet young lady at the pet store.
Great post! I like how you pointed out that Rocky's physical appearance contradicts his true personality. Nice catch to the way he interacts with his pet turtle; a scene reflecting Rocky's gentler side.
