Rocky is a little boxer from Philadelphia, nicknamed the Italian Stallion. He is not well educated and has little literacy. He is in his thirties and has long passed his heyday. His daily life is to play local small competitions. Helping the boss to ask for debts, every time the opponents in the competition are some gangsters who only have the name of boxers. His boxing coach Mick has already given up on him.
One night, as soon as Rocky won a game, he stepped off the stage and asked the audience for cigarettes. Some audience members called him a waste or a fool. When he returned to the lounge, his opponent who was defeated by him said, you are just lucky today. Rocky didn't say anything, he was accustomed to these things, it was commonplace. Rocky comes home alone every day, and the only person who can talk to her is his pet turtle. Rocky has always been fond of Adrienne, the front desk of the pet store, and often goes to the store to tell him some funny jokes.
One day Rocky was walking on the street and saw a little girl hanging out with a group of ruffians. She took the girl out and sent her home. He kept teaching the little girl earnestly along the way. Don't play with them, they will ruin you. At the door of the house, the girl turned around and said a dirty word with her middle finger. On the other side, the opponent of world champion Apollo couldn't compete due to illness, and they couldn't find a suitable opponent to substitute. This caused the champion and his team to have a headache. With a flash of inspiration, the boxing champion found a random boxer from Philadelphia to challenge me, and gave him a chance to fulfill his dream and challenge for the world championship. This will not only reflect my kindness and greatness, but also solve the opponent's problems, killing two birds with one stone, wouldn't it? Beautiful. And Apollo just chose Rocky. The champion said confidently that I could get him in three rounds.
The next day, Rocky passed by coach Mick's boxing gym. The person at the door told him that Mick was looking for you. Rocky went in and found Mick. Mick said that there was a man named Jess who was looking for you and said he wanted to give Apo Luo found a training opponent. This was his business card. Rocky repeated one of his words. Mick didn't want to see him, and he couldn't help but scold him. Rocky asked him, I have been here for six years, why do you dislike me every time? You want to know why, yes, I just want to know why. Because you have the talent to be a boxer, but you've become a lowly debt collector, a thug. I'm here for a living, you're wasting your life. The two parted ways, and after that, Rocky came to Jace's office, and Jacegen told him. We are holding a match, and we are looking for a boxer from Philadelphia. It is an honor to be you. You now have the opportunity to challenge the world champion.
After the news of the local boxer Rocky challenging the world champion Apollo was made public, everyone felt that there was no point in this kind of competition. Rocky would lose. Even Rocky himself knew that this was a game that he could not win at all. The night after that, Mick came to Rocky's house and Mick told Rocky, I want to be your coach and train you to fight with the champions, I've been doing this for 50 years. My mind is full of experience, I want to help you, and Mick talked about the glory of his heyday. Rocky was very upset when he was listening, and finally he broke out. Rocky said, ten years ago I beg you to help me, but you ignore it, you don't care, it took 10 years for you to come to me, you have at least been brilliant, you have had a heyday, what about me, I have no heyday, I have nothing, Luo Qi was still venting, Mick had no choice but to leave. When Mick was about to go far, Rocky went out and chased after him. After he finished venting, he decided to find him as a coach.
Every day after that, Rocky got up at four in the morning, drank five raw eggs for breakfast, ran from home to the Philadelphia Museum of Art to practice physical fitness, went to the cold storage to beat pork to simulate the sensuality of hitting the human body, and received training from Mick in the boxing gym. One morning, he ran to the museum again, but this time he ran very easily, completely unlike the first time when he was out of breath and his stomach hurt to death. He raised his fists as if to celebrate some kind of victory. I felt his confidence, his determination, his will. During this period of time, the relationship between Rocky and Adrienne became more and more intimate. Later, once, Rocky invited Adrienne to his house. It didn't take long for the two to dry wood and fire and kiss each other.
The night before the game, Rocky should have recharged. But he couldn't sleep, he came to the arena, he said to the organizer Jessgan, you got my poster wrong, my panties should be white, but Jessgan said does it matter, as long as the champion is right Then, he came home and came to Adrienne's bedside and said, I know I'm going to lose. But I don't care, I just want to play well. If I can finish 15 rounds, I'm not a piece of shit when I'm still on the field.
On the day of the match, the boxing champion Apollo attended in full costume, wearing American flag decorations all over his body. At the beginning of the match, Apollo continued to play with Rocky with his jabs. No matter how Rocky punched, he couldn't hurt Apollo at all, and it continued like this until the second. In the second round, Rocky suddenly seized the gap and severely beat the boxing champion. The second round was over, and the third round began. The boxer hit Rocky seriously, but Rocky never gave up, and was knocked down again. stand up. I don't know how many times I got up like this, so, in the fourth round, the fifth round, the sixth round, until the fourteenth round, Rocky had already broken Apollo's three rounds to kill the big talk, in the 14th round Towards the end, Rocky seized the opportunity to smack Apollo hard in the ribs. At halftime, Apollo said his rib might have been broken, and on the other side, Rocky said, the wound was swollen covering his eyes, and she had the coach cut her eyelids with a knife and let out the bruises. At the beginning of the fifteenth round, the whole audience was shouting Rocky's name. Rocky continued to hit Apollo's ribs and kept beating him. The champion had lost his fighting spirit. At the end of the fifteenth round, the audience was boiling Well, in the end, the organizer announced that Apollo had won, but none of this mattered. Rocky and his girlfriend Adrienne hugged and cried. He won, and he defeated the decadent self and life before.
Rocky is the earliest inspirational movie. Unlike ordinary inspirational movies, you can succeed with just a little effort. Rocky finally lost the game, and the heroine did not appear during the game. The hero was resurrected with blood and won the game. Such a bloody plot. Rocky does not play games to win or lose, but to prove himself, redeem himself, and regain his dignity and ambition. His hard training before the game is not to create miracles, but to let himself stand for a few more rounds during the game. , hold on for a while. Try to make yourself a little stronger. The moment he raised his arms in front of the museum, he had already completed his self-transformation. I think this is the first time he has felt so fulfilled in so many years. I hope that in the future, when we encounter what we want to do, we know that it is impossible, and please try our best to try it. We can fail, but our will and spirit must never lose.
In addition, "Rocky" is Stallone's screen debut, and he is also the creator of this story. The reason why he can tell this story so sincerely is because this is Stallone's own story. He aspired to the acting industry, but had been unsuccessful, so he had to make a living as a minor supporting role in porn and as a personal bodyguard. He took this story to find a buyer, and insisted on acting by himself at least 50 times. When someone was finally willing to invest, he also firmly seized this opportunity, offered 12 points of hard work and sincerity, practiced hard, and built himself into a credible professional boxer image, and even more regretful about the wasted years of the past. The memory and the experience of successful transformation were brought into the film, allowing us to see such a sincere and inspirational work.
