say that "Rocky" is about a young boxer, suffered, and his fight for the title of heavyweight champion would stay in the "A".
"Rocky" is much more than that, this is a film full of values \u200b\u200band human closeness, with characters well defined and interpreted, set in a poor neighborhood of Southeast Philadelphia . Written by and starring Sylvester Stallone, has succeeded create mythical scenes (like Rocky going up the stairs of the Philadelphia Art Museum, coaching, while playing the song "Gonna Fly Now" composed by Bill Conti) being immortalized in the public's memory over the years.
And, personally, I've always been attracted to this film is the intensity and nature of their characters. Very beginning of the tape shows the general trend around which to develop the plot: While Rocky is sitting, exhausted, waiting for the next assault to boxing, a man who seems his manager says, "You want some advice? Retire the boxing. "
is a time that Rocky needed is motivation to continue the fight and support, but it seems the world has lost confidence in him as a boxer and urges him to retire. Throughout the film characters as Mickey, manager of the gym where you train (and then be their manager) do not stop to say he's a joke, and what reaches your soul is precisely his indomitable spirit and fight that shows Rocky face of adversity (is this character that has caused Rocky to become for many people, among whom I include myself, as an example to motivate).
At first when returning home from combat and talks to himself and his turtles (hook and straight) can be revealing how to be Rocky. It shows us her humble home and where you live. You realize that, within this mass of flesh and muscles turned to boxing, there is a very sweet person with a great sense of ironic humor. "If you sing or dance but knew I would not have a face like a map" (Rocky to your fish).
An important place in the film is the pet shop where Adrian works, a shy young woman to whom Rocky tries to conquer.
curious detail is that every time something bad happens and Rocky feels abandoned pet shop appears (after the fight both in tell him to retire, and when he removed his locker at the gym where he trains).
Adrian going to visit, she and the pet store becomes a territory somewhat healing for the soul of Rocky, a land where nothing is bad, where is Adrian, the chirping of birds and animals that live peacefully.
also noteworthy that, throughout history, we find characters with problems (the defaulter, the rebellious girl ... ) and Rocky gives a way or another to all advice. Not from the standpoint of moral and ethical boring, but through conversation, colloquial language, we see that Rocky is a jack of all human values, simple, offering help to others.
-Are these situations and characters, good direction and a great soundtrack, which make Rocky into a cult movie, with its three well-deserved Oscar. A film of the seventies young remains over time.
