      It has nothing to do with success, just to meet a better self

      The first time I knew Stallone was when I watched First Blood in junior high school, and I saw his introduction in a movie magazine in high school. It seems that he has been mentally retarded since he was a child. His family, especially his father, don't like him very much. Seeing that his limbs are well developed, he tells him to make good use of his body. Then he went to exercise. Later, it seems to be proved to be almost the most intelligent actor in Hollywood. Yes, his wife and daughter...

      This type of film will go down in history

      From the perspective of a commercial film, the overall story pace of this film is relatively slow, and the climax scene ends sloppily after the 15-round boxing fight. The narrative structure and the story itself are actually very direct and simple, but after watching it, there is a strong sense of Moved, not only became the box office champion, but also won 3 Oscars. I personally think that the success of this film is not in how touching the story itself is (in fact, there are many, many...

      "Rocky" The Struggle of White Americans

      As far as the movie itself is concerned, there really isn't much to like. However, some of the spirits conveyed by the film did resonate in the United States at that time. This kind of inspirational film is also extremely needed for our current Chinese dynasty.

      Rocky is an amateur boxer nicknamed the Italian Stallion. His main job is to collect loan sharks for the underworld. The young man can win a boxing match and get $40. He likes a salesperson of a pet store, and in...

      Exercise: Storytelling Strategies for Rocky

      "Rocky" has the characteristics of strong new Hollywood movies - an anti-traditional, neat and tidy reunion and a triumphant ending. It expresses anti-traditional expressions through seemingly traditional routines. Specifically, it uses the traditional narrative framework and the usual hints, foreshadowing and contrasting methods of a series of genre films to create an illusion that the audience can see the winning ending they want. In fact, the focus of the film is to shape Rocky is a very...

      In the 1980s, every boy in Inner Mongolia had to watch a movie, a permanent memory. Since then, he began to understand boxing and come into contact with American culture. Although the movie is not so classic, for the eternal memory, I still want to give him four...

      The best picture Oscar in 1977 opened the spring of inspirational films. Today, inspirational films have fallen into a fixed routine. The little people are unwilling, work hard, suffer repeated setbacks, persevere to the end, and achieve their dreams. But "Rocky" doesn't have so much enthusiasm. Even the final duel ends in haste. Some of them are just plain life stories. Every play between Rocky and his friends, lovers, juniors and colleagues is touching. The best inspirational film in my...

      The film has been said to be rotten by successful scholars. I'm used to watching the current film, and I feel that the inspirational aspect of this film is not enough. Even talking about love is very simple, which has become a restrained style. The music of the film is the highlight, only then did I know that the music I heard all the time was from the...

      That episode when Rocky was running was on time. . . A very strong portrayal of American life, an exciting but not bloody plot. I can't stand some movies that turn the tide with one...

      From the time the champion singled out Rocky as his opponent, he could almost guess what was going to happen. The whole film is relatively dull, and it only gets high in the last seven or eight minutes. The best picture Oscar and such a high status in film history are really overrated. Stallone has a weird accent, and he made five more sequels after "Rocky" to drain the character's value. ....

    Movie plot

    The story takes place in a slum area in Philadelphia in the eastern United States. Thirty-year-old Rocky ( Sylvester Stallone ) is burly and powerful. He is a small gang member of a triad organization and an amateur boxer. He often acts as a companion for hitting four games without even getting a tip. Rocky has a friend named Pori who works in the slaughterhouse. One day, Rocky went to a nearby store to buy things, and when he saw the...

    When Rocky replied to let Mickey in, the number "2" on his house number was missing.
    Coherence: The last game between Rocky and Apollo was less than 2 minutes, and each game should be 3 minutes.
    Error found: During training, Rocky's one-handed push-up action was the same set of shots, played over and over....

    Positive reviews

    The film has a concise structure and sincere feelings, which can especially inspire the audience to sympathize with the weak. Although the film is a small production, there are no big scenes, no traces of intricate carvings, but it is full of primitive beauty, and the performance, lines and soundtrack are quite in place. "Rocky" highlights the American spirit with a story about the American dream. As a humble figure in the lower class,...
