As the movie went on we got to see more of Rocky's and Adrian's character development. I noticed how nice and respectful Rocky was toward Adrian unlike the way others treated her. Another specific thing I noticed was that Rocky said Thanksgiving was just Thursday to him which made me feel bad that he had didn't celebrate it and probably had no one to celebrate it with.
Rocky and Adrian seem like very similar people. They have both been put down by other people and have been called losers even though they aren't really losers. Adrian is smart and shy while Rocky is tough and more outgoing. However, they are both good people and fit as a couple. Adrian was also really quiet and not confident around Rocky at first, but the more he talked to her made her feel more comfortable and brought out her character more.
At one part in the movie, Adrian had compared Rocky's fighting situation with how Einstein failed school twice and Helen Keller. This implies that Rocky does have a chance even though he is the underdog and Adrian has confidence in him. I'm intrigued to watch more and see what will happen next.
Awesome post, Melissa. I totally agree with your description of Rocky and Adrian's relationship. They make a great couple because they both know what it is like to be misunderstood and overlooked. Nice catch on the reference to Einstein and Helen Keller! Resilience and persistence are becoming major themes in the movie!
