Rocky

Rocky Balboa was a small time boxer in Philadelphia. He started off at a gym with other mediocre boxers where he was then replaced by a black "upcoming" boxer. Before I continue , let me say , this film was highly depressing, maybe its just me. I mean if you look at his life style it makes you feel like you, yourself, are in a rut. He has no family, no one to actually socialize with. The only friend that I saw was the Meat guy and even he's iffy. Everyone takes him as a joke, even the kids on the street who give him no respect and its sad because Rocky seems like a good guy, always trying to reach out to people.  He got mixed up in some stuff I guess you can say because in the beginning of the movie he was like the messenger for a "gang" but he's such a push over that he didn't really fit the look. Heavyweight champion Apollo Creed's opponent was injured before their match so they needed to find someone who can replace him. It really was a fixed match because they purposely found someone who they knew Apollo can beat .  Anyways, they picked Rocky and suddenly out of "nowhere" everyone wanted to be Rocky's friend which was completely pathetic but what upset me the most was that he allowed it to happen , caved into all the fake support. Anyhwo, later in the story he gets into a relationship with the Meat Guy's sister and honestly I think they were perfect for each other because they're both the most awkward beings so their energy just kind of clicked. I forgot her name , but she was never in it for the attention, neither of them were,
they just wanted to get it over with. The fight started and Rocky was actually putting up a good fight to everyones surprise but of course Apollo won at the end and the movie ended with Rocky and his girl in an embrace which was cute.
