Movies related to Rocky have always interested me. After the end of Rocky VI, I thought I would never appreciate Rocky's bloody punching figure, but fortunately there are two rumored Creed's coming out, compared to the Rocky series. The bottom-level characters use unyielding fists to challenge and conquer the world of boxing, while Creed caters to the mainstream values ​​of self-recognition in this era with a more brisk rhythm and desire for ideals, which well continues the positive and inspirational sports competition brings to people. positive energy.

But when it comes to the fly in the ointment, I personally feel that the two films lack some of the figurative themes in the first six films. For example, throughout the six films, Rocky rushed to the city hall steps after a morning run through the Philadelphia neighborhood and shouted. The pictures, as well as various close-up shots of the bronze statue of Rocky in the later period, the six films present Rocky's growth and breakthrough in different ways through this same process, and coupled with the bloody music, the audience's blood can always be drawn. burn up.

If Creed has a sequel, I hope he can find his own hot-blooded bgm, so that today's young people can once again feel the enthusiasm for cheering and admiring Rocky forty years ago.
