Midterm Comparison Rocky vs. Sugar
Rocky and Sugar are very similar movies. They both have main characters who are trying to live the "American Dream." Rocky is just a average boxer who is trying to come up in the game. He is old so it is hard for him to bring his career up. But with a little luck he is able to be fighting the best boxer in the world and he held his own. Sugar is a baseball player with a dream of playing in the United States. He was on his way to stardom at one point but it had all fallen. But he also found a new way of life. He found out that life isn't just about baseball. There is more to life. He had a good job, family, friends, and happiness.
I picked these movies to compare because I feel that they are very similar. They both are sports movies. They both also have a huge turn around in the main characters life. One started out poor and with no career and became famous and on top of the world. The other started out being on his way to becoming a great baseball player but then found other meanings in life.
I feel that Sugar and rocky both have a similar meaning. Never give up. If one thing doesn't work out then life isn't over. The American Dream is not just to be rich and famous. But it is to find happiness in life. That is the American Dream.
