At the beginning, he won the gold belt, and then someone (the son of the enemy who killed his father) refused to accept the challenge and did not listen to the advice of the coach Rocky to fight, and he failed miserably. Depressed, lose yourself. With the help of his family and Rocky, he regained his strength and finally created a legend. Movies in this series seem to follow similar routines, and the truths they tell us are nothing more than don’t give up, persistence is victory, etc. It seems that if you follow these principles, you can become a winner in life. But as the "Tao Te Ching" says: "The existence and the non-existence of each other, the difficulty and the easy complement each other." If there are winners, there will naturally be losers.
As for old Drago, he "killed" old Creed, and then was defeated by Rocky, so he lost everything. His dignity was disgraced, he was cast aside by the country, and even his wife abandoned him. He compares himself to a stray dog, starving, being cast aside and homeless, all thinking about survival and fighting. Losing a game and paying such a price is too heavy. Lundgren was also old, his hair and beard were white. But the perseverance in his eyes still revealed the arrogance of the former boxing champion. But it is such a look of old age and unwillingness that fully interprets the downfall of the old Drago in the second half of his life. But later, in order for his son to stand at the top, he put down the last bit of his self-esteem as a boxing champion, obeyed the arrangements of the capitalists, and smiled awkwardly and politely at the banquet when he faced his wife who had abandoned him. Even my son felt resentful for himself when he saw her, why did she abandon you and leave me, and now our father and son are still wagging their tails in front of her and begging for pity. But ah, he only thinks about his son's future, and his own face, what is it?
What about his son Drago? Abandoned by his mother as a child, he lives with his father. The father, has long become a joke of the country and the nation. So ah, he hates. He hated the mother who didn't care about their father and son, and he hated those who looked down on them. It was only when I saw my mother at the banquet that I couldn't help but leave the table angrily, and then I yelled at my father, why should I look at their eyes. He only wanted to prove himself, or he wanted to prove those people wrong. Finally facing Creed, step by step will win. But I didn't expect that Creed was so tenacious that he couldn't be defeated at all. Doubt appeared in his eyes for the first time, he didn't believe that he might lose to his former defeat. But helpless others have the aura of the protagonist, so I made a wrong step, and it was a matter of time to lose the game. At this time, the mother and other capitalists, seeing that their investment was losing money, naturally left the game. Drago was knocked to the ground trying to get up, glanced at the seat over there and saw that they had all left, and he was stunned. What was in those eyes, grievance, unwillingness, sadness, despair, depression, I failed, and I still failed to prove it to those people. As if his soul had lost its attachment, Drago seemed very free. From that moment on, he really lost.
That so-called legend, Rocky. When he was a player, he was always in the limelight for a while, and later he became a coach. His disciples are so outstanding. It must be a big winner in life. But ah, with such a successful career, the family is falling apart, and it is close to breaking with his son. Even when he was hospitalized for cancer, his apprentice Creed was taking care of himself. He has no relatives, so he can only do many things by himself, and he can't do anything about what he can't do - like the broken street light at the door. How many times he wanted to call his son, to repair the father-son relationship, to see his grandson who grew up but didn't recognize him, how many times he hesitated and flinched. He told Creed that he couldn't pretend like nothing happened and say hello to them in a normal way. He lives in endless loneliness.
Finally, let's talk about Creed. What did he lose, my heart. The death of his father and the lack of his father's love had a great influence on him, that's why he was furious when others insulted his father, so seeing the person who once killed his father is now standing in the spotlight so disgusted, that's why he was so disgusted When I heard old Drago mention his father at the press conference, I wanted to punch him right away. The first time Drago challenged, he did not follow Rocky's advice and agreed. But in his heart, he thought that this was to save face for his father, but he failed miserably. Lying in the hospital bed, constantly blaming and constantly self-doubting, crying. After being discharged from the hospital, she distrusted herself even more. Autistic, restless, restless, about to collapse. Even after he came to the training hall of old Creed and chatted with his father's old friend, he didn't have the courage to go in. After his daughter was born, he took her to the training hall alone, playing with sandbags and howling in despair. He didn't understand why he lost. He's scared, he's scared, he doesn't know what he's doing. He needs to be reborn.
He understood, he didn't need to prove anything, he was a legendary son but he had a life of his own. He punches out of love. So Rocky took Creed to the desert boxing ring and started Nirvana. Trained hard and focused, and soon, Creed found himself. On the stage, I was knocked down again and again and stood up again and again, because I love it. Victory was won and a legend was created. Finally, he brought his wife and daughter to his father's grave, and the family was so peaceful. He redeemed himself, he became a good boxer, a good husband, a good father - and once more, when his daughter was diagnosed as possibly deaf, Rocky made him prepare that his daughter might really be deaf and be deaf. Creed still loves her. Creed, puzzled, said of course he would love her. Rocky says that's enough, because then her daughter doesn't feel like she's flawed.
When Old Drago saw that his son would rather die than admit defeat, he licked the calf deeply and threw the towel to express his defeat. Drago also blamed his father for admitting defeat and how we could lose. After going through the glory, the low point, being abandoned and humiliated, and walking all the way with his son, old Drago understood that if he loses the game, he loses, and it's nothing, as long as his family is still together. Those who left us were not family members in the first place. In the end, father and son still run and train together.
As for Rocky, he finally knocked on his son's door. Seeing such a handsome grandson, he smiled discouraged. The son also expressed his kindness to himself, told his grandson that he was his grandfather, and invited himself to sit in. After entering the door, the father and son embraced each other and put aside their suspicions. It turned out that reconciliation was not as difficult as one had imagined.
Whose life is easy. Who hasn't cried bitterly in the middle of the night. Who hasn't lost a mess. Only you can save yourself, take a few more steps and it will always get better.
