*Spoiler Warning*
Rocky is a 1976 drama/sports film about a boxer named Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) who gets the opportunity of a lifetime when he is offered to fight the world heavyweight champion of the boxing industry, Apollo Creed (Carl weathers).
Throughout the movie Rocky is portrayed as being a bum because he only does underground boxing matches. Also he lives in an apartment that is all dirty and messy and very small almost like a tenement. Rocky is also a debt collector so he can make some extra money on top of the $40.55. In one scene Rocky is told to break a mans fingers if he doesn't pay the full amount of $200 but he chooses to take the mans money sum of $132 and not break his fingers. In this scene it seems like Rocky is kind and doesn't like to have a lot of violence even though he is a boxer.
Later on in the movie he starts to date Adrian (Talia Shire) the girl from the pet store he goes to all the time to get food for his turtles, Cuff and Link. Adrian eventually moves in with Rocky after her brother Paulie (Burt Young) comes home drunk and throws a big fit. In one scene Rocky is almost kind of disrespected when the promoters got his shorts colors wrong on a banner, instead of the shorts being white with a red stripe they are red with a white stripe.
When the fight starts Apollo Creed is fooling around and toying with Rocky until Rocky knocks Creed to the ground and shows him how much power he really has. Come round 15 both fighters are still standing but in the end Creed edges out Balboa to take the win. In the final scene Rocky is surrounded by a ton of people and instead of attending to the people he screams "Adrian", and the movie ends.
In my opinion the movie was great, it thought it had a very well done story and great character development. The only part I did not agree with was Rocky losing the fight but at the same time its kind of a surprise to the viewers who thought Rocky was gonna win. Other than that the movie was everything you'd ever want in a movie. Rocky has now become one of my favorite movies and I am glad it is a cult classic in the film business.
