The film Creed featuring Micheal B. Jordan (Adonis Johnson-Creed) and Sylvester Stallone (Rocky Balboa) follows up the fan favorite Rocky.  This movie gave me motivation and hope to accomplish my dreams. Since I was little I have always wanted to be a part of the fighting game, and it never really occured to me that some people be in the same position as me and yet still get to the top. The message to this movie is one to never give up because if you really want something no matter how hard it is you can achieve it. Another message in the film that shows in the end is you don't always have to win to beat the fight.

In the film it is shown that Adonnis Creed (AKA creed) was a failure in his name and that he was only big because of his name so the character himself felt as if he was a disgrace. The reason why i connected so well with the character was because i've been in a same position because of the position/place i was in. I know the feeling of having to have a high performance on something because their expectations of you is high. Throughout the film after he was announced as creed son you can see how stressed and nervous Adonnis becomes. There was one specific scene that touched my heart which was the scene that Creed refused to fight and train unless Rocky decided to fight back from cancer there was a specific part where Creed lets Rocky know that he scene him as a part of his family. Which shows that people don't have to be blood to be family. Overall i really enjoyed the film and this will be one movie to remember.
