This is your moment!

What struck me the most about the first part of "Creed" was that Adonis was reluctant to use his father's name and wanted to make a name for himself, but this was undoubtedly very difficult, after all, his father was so famous, and his coach Another living legend, but he still did it, using his own strength to prove that he is not someone's son, not someone's apprentice, he is Adonis Creed, and he will be a new legend.

But in the second part, the dark cloud of the problems left by the father's generation has shrouded in the heart of Adonis. He was influenced by the outside world, and his mind was occupied by revenge. But this mentality of his has undoubtedly seriously affected his strength. From the red uniform he wore in the first duel, he could see the anxiety and confusion in his heart. In the end, no accident, he was defeated. Rocky said to him repeatedly in both films, let him remember who he was fighting for, who was he fighting for? For his own sake, of course, for his own happiness. Figured this out, that's why he was so determined and sober in the final leg.

However, his opponent, Little Drago, does not have such a strong will to fight. He has always lived under the hatred of his father and the abandonment of his mother. The reason why he fought is only to avenge his father's generation, so in the decisive battle, In the face of Adonis, who had a strong will to fight, and an abandonment by his mother, he flinched, and was truly afraid. In the end, old Drago gave up his obsession and liberated his child. The two started a new training side by side. From this point, I feel that little Drago will walk out of the shadow of his parents like little Creed in the future. Find his moment, he may be Creed's rival in the future!

At the end of the duel, Old Drago gave up his obsession, and Old Rocky did not come to the stage with Adonis to accept the honor, and said to him, "This is your moment!" Seeing this, I was really moved, No matter how much honor or grievance the parents have, it has become the past, and it has become history. The new generation of people will eventually use their own strength to create their own era!

Rocky's back! Impressed!
