The first two Rocky movies impressed me the most is the scene where Rocky and Apollo attacked each other without defending before the bell rang, standing up and cheering the whole time, and Rocky exercising before the game and raising his arms in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. At that moment, he was a winner, with a winning attitude, and it didn't need to be proved by the results of the game, and it didn't need to be proved by the wonderful knockdowns, because no one cares about the meaninglessness. of points.
