Recently, I have finished watching Rocky's six films one after another. For me, they are not only inspirational films, but also life philosophical films, about growth and loss.
In the beginning , Rocky was just a nobody, no one cared, no one cared, the coach didn't approve, he made a living by beating people for loan sharks, he was depressed all day long, he had someone he liked but didn't know how to catch up, every time he saw him He struggled and babbled some bad jokes, feeling embarrassed and wanting to cry, maybe he was very similar to himself.
"Yeah, you are such a ghost yourself, what qualifications do you have to teach others."
Rocky's self-deprecating words always echoed in his ears, maybe he was very similar to himself.
Later, he caught up with his girlfriend, and he also got a chance to fight the boxing champion in his career. The coach also began to care about him, as if the goddess of luck suddenly saw him, but it was not entirely lucky.
The process of chasing his girlfriend was not smooth, if Rocky hadn't been embarrassed to see Adrian every day, if Rocky hadn't been involved in Adrian's family affairs, if Rocky hadn't tried hard to convince the skating rink owner, if Rocky hadn't mustered Courage invites Adrian into the house and keeps her, and it may not happen either.
Getting the coach's attention was uncomfortable at first. After all, everyone was so indifferent before. If I were Rocky, I might yell even more:
"What is this! Just because I got a chance! You all come to care about me?! Care about my wins and losses! Care about my safety! Care about my feelings!? Why did you go earlier!? I was so miserable and lonely before Where are you guys!!!??? You still have a great time, what about me. I have nothing! I'm a crappy! I didn't succeed! I'm a loser! I don't need your concern! I No need! Just let him beat me! Let that boxer screw my head off! Come on! Even that's okay, you don't care anyway, I'm just a lone crappy fighter... "
However, Rocky did not stop there. He rushed out the door to catch up with the old coach and apologized and prayed for reconciliation and help. He was grateful to the old coach. He did not hide his real needs because of his face. He was brave and had Much like me, after venting, I dare not come forward to reconcile.
The fight with the boxing champion is even more difficult. Whether it is hard training or actual combat, Apollo is very powerful. There is no doubt that Rocky needs not only technology, but also courage - the courage to fail and be beaten. Are you afraid that you will die and dare not take the stage? Or do you do something unrealistic or outrageous because you think you will win? None. He set a more realistic goal for himself. To this day, he can still think of Rocky's lonely figure standing in the boxing gym on the eve of the match, and his calm tone when he told his girlfriend about his heart:
"I finally realized that I'm just a nobody, Apollo is too strong, I can't win this game, but it doesn't matter if I lose, I'm still a nobody, I'm thinking, in Apollo's past games In China, no one can stand and fight him to the end. If I can still stand on the stage when the bell rings, then I am the first person in history, and I can prove that I am not a lame. enough."
What kind of state of mind do you have to say such a thing at such a time? Rocky can.
Later, Rocky really did it, finished the race standing, became famous, made money, splurges, advertisements, lost all kinds of... He quickly screwed up, and became a nobody again, doing Unhappy work, and being laid off, he can only "condescend" to return to the boxing gym to be a water change boy, but he can endure it, what else can he do? I can't do anything, I can't bear it, I have to bear it, and there is a pregnant wife at work at home.
On the occasion of Apollo II's battle, Rocky faced the risk of blindness and accepted the challenge again. His nature is a warrior, so he should fight. Rocky is very simple, it is such a simple logic, but when you are not When you're alone, determination is really different.
"Go, Rocky, and knock him down."
When Adrian said this blessing, Rocky was like a stimulant. Maybe this is the power of love. This scene instantly pulled me back to the 4-hour transfer to and from work every day after get off work. On the bus to find my girlfriend, just to meet for half an hour...
However, life is always unexpected. Just when Rocky's career is booming and his family is happy, he first lost the throne of boxing champion, then lost his old coach Mickey, and finally completely lost his confidence and hope. The unknown man climbed to the altar and fell back to the ground.
After losing so much, he gained a good friend - Apollo, and he was also enlightened by his wife, and finally regained his self-confidence, which once again showed the importance of love... But Adrian's words clarified A simple truth.
"When you have fear in your heart, it's easy to get lost, and it's easy to find other things as excuses to escape, but in the end, escape can't bring peace of mind, it can only bring pain for the rest of your life, so instead of this , it is better to face it directly, no matter whether you win or lose, give yourself an account, not for anything else, just to give yourself an account."
But no matter the dramatic factor, or life is like this, Rocky lost his friend Apollo forever soon, although he finally succeeded in revenge, but also caused physical problems, unwilling to bleak retirement, lost himself However, after retiring, he accidentally owed a debt, lost money, and lost a rich material life. Rocky remembered the old coach and reopened the boxing gym.
"When I get to my age, I keep losing a lot until I have nothing left, until I start asking myself, why am I still alive? When people don't find a reason to live, they die, but I see When I get to you, I start to want to live a good life, I want to see you stand out, see you learn to box, and learn to take care of yourself. Get up quickly! Brat! Because Mickey loves you!"
But fate once again took away Rocky's hard work. The boxer he had worked so hard to cultivate became a boxing champion, but he ungratefully abandoned Rocky and became someone else's puppet. Not only that, but the Rocky father and son almost killed him It turned against each other, but fortunately, Rocky finally kept his heart.
Then, it was a period of the dullest and most heart-wrenching years. After a few decades, Rocky turned 60 and stopped boxing. His wife died of illness, and the relationship between father and son was not good. He could only visit his wife in the cemetery every day. Talk and talk, in your own restaurant, tell your guests about boxing in the past, times have changed, but some things haven't.
"I never thought it would be so difficult to leave her, even breathing was difficult, and I felt like there was a beast in my heart."
"What right do you have to stop others from realizing their dreams! If someone knows what they are worth and wants to do, then they should do it! You can! I can! Anyone can! What right do you have to prevent others from realizing themselves? dream!"
"Hey, Rocky, it's not easy to get back on the court, it means you have to suffer defeat and be beaten, but you can do it, because there is a fire in your heart, and your will is still there."
Willpower! good! The courage to face life and the principle of not admit defeat! These will not change.
And that deafening instruction.
"But there are times when you change, you're no longer you, you let people point your face and say you're not good, and when things don't go your way, you start blaming other things, like huge Shadows...let me tell you something you already know, this world is not just sunshine and rainbows, it's a very dirty and sinister world, I don't care how strong you are, but if you give in and don't fight, it will take you forever Hit your knees on the ground. You, me, no one can hit harder than life hits, but it's not how hard you hit, it's how hard you can take and keep going, How much can you take and keep going! That's the real victory! If you know your worth, go for it and achieve it, but you have to be willing to take the beating and not point fingers when you fail to achieve your goals Tell others that they are holding me back! Cowards do that! You are not! You are far better than that!...I love you no matter what, no matter what happens, you are my child, my flesh and blood, But you can only have a real life when you start believing in yourself."
Thank you, Rocky! Thank you, Stallone! Bring me such a good movie! Such a good teaching! Such a great gift!
Thinks a lot!
