Rocky

Rocky Balboa is a boxer who lives in an apartment in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and his career has so far not gotten off the canvas. Rocky earns a living by collecting debts for a loan shark named Gazzo, but Gazzo doesn't think Rocky has the viciousness it takes to beat up people. Rocky still boxes every once in awhile to keep his boxing skills sharp, and his ex-trainer, Mickey, believes he could've made it to the top if he was willing to work for it. Rocky, goes to a pet store that sells pet supplies, and this is where he meets a young woman named Adrian, who doesn't speak to him at first. Rocky befriends her. Adrain later surprised Rocky with a dog from the pet shop that Rocky had befriended. Adrian's brother Paulie, who works for a meat packing company, is thrilled that someone has become interested in Adrian, and Adrian spends Thanksgiving with Rocky. Later, they go to Rocky's apartment, where Adrian explains that she has never been in a man's apartment before. Rocky sets her mind at ease, and they become lovers.The world heavyweight boxing champion Apollo Creed comes up with the idea of giving an unknown a shot at the title since the person who was going to fight had gotten hurt. Apollo checks out the Philadelphia boxing scene, and chooses Rocky since he probably thought it would be a easy win. Apollo just wanted to seem like a good person for giving someone like rocky a chance at fighting. Fight promoter Jergens gets things in gear, and Rocky starts training with Mickey. After a lot of training, Rocky is ready for the match, and he wants to prove that he can go the distance with Apollo. So he trains hard and goes every round with Apollo for a legendary fight. Thesis is not to give up and even if you're starting from the smallest of towns and ruin areas you can make it to be something through hard work. I would recommend this film because people I know can connect to this movie. I’m from new haven where everything isn’t given and some times we didn’t even have a meal on the table or a table to even eat on. Rocky wasn’t from the best home and even had to work for the mafia to make money and box for little pay. Rocky worked hard and last every single round with the best fighter in the world showing perseverance. We can do the same thing everyday I will work hard in football and all aspects of life because I want to make it out and last every round in life.
