      Hard to watch with you all, especially the lady with long black hair, saying sexist and classist stuff about the protagonist for the whole movie. As if it's 50/50 odds there is something dangerous about him, or it's "creepy" for him to chat with the shy woman he has a crush, who obviously regards him as a nice person and says things like "goodnight rocky" to him? What if he never flirted with her or put himself out there? I mean it's just a movie, but what would you do in his shoes?

And even tho the films contained some iconic love story elements, i think they were mainly about Rocky's heart and his journey of change into a better boxer in the ring but especially a better man outside of it. also i never saw Rocky's character as a "rebel" at all.

    As a native Philadelphian, Rocky Balboa is basically a local god. Every morning, the people congregate to the feet of the Rocky steps and pay tribute with incense and libations of raw eggs. On the solstice, we sacrifice a chicken in His Glorious Name, and children near and far run across the city in leaping bounds of festive merriment. On special moons, the great god Sly himself graces the city with his presence, and flocks of Philly Fanatics ride the winds up in the sky to the collective chants of "Yo Adrian! Yo Adrian!" that ring out to the heavens until the setting of the sun. It is glorious.

    Paulie is one of the most misunderstood characters in cinematic history. Also happens to be one of my favourites. There's a photo of him in a naval officers uniform in their house - the implication is that his and Adrian's parents died while she was young and he gave up a successful career in the navy to look after her. This led to the bitter resentful man you see now who never achieved what he wanted to in life. It's also a testament to Rocky's character that he knows Paulie is at heart a good man, and keeps him around despite his failings.

    29:53 Rocky not winning actually goes in line w/ the cynical tone of most popular 70s movies: The Godfather, Taxi Driver, Chinatown, A Clockwork Orange, The Deer Hunter, etc... This film along w/ Jaws, Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Superman, etc... from the latter half of the decade brought back the urge for feel-good endings in cinema.

    When Adrian and Rocky trade I love you, you hear the final judges vote and declaration of Creed as the winner in the background.
    Star Wars and Rocky were released 6 months apart. Star Wars impact on film is self-explanatory. Rocky saw the innovation of the Steady Cam. Before cameras were so large they had to be mounted on a rail system or a vehicle. This is why you have the classic stair and ring scenes because the camera man was able to get in close or move with the actors. The camera man is still innovating today. When you see these odd camera angles and cameras on zip lines at sporting events or any event, that is his company.

    I saw this at the theaters when I was about sixteen and it was amazing. The country was getting ready to celebrate its bicentennial birthday and patriotism was super high. There was a nice little buzz about the film going around and within a pretty short time it seemed like everyone was going to see it. I think the small production budget gave it a grittier, more realistic edge that worked well with the story. I love that it still has the same effect on people seeing it now for the first time. By the way, Stallone still has his two turtles 'Cuff' and 'Link' from the movie and they're huge now.

    The hate Paulie got shows you the actor good perfomance but also you gotta see how he is a tormented soul that has lost hope in his life and was adicted to booze. Rocky saw that (in my view) and was willing to let it be, after all he himself was suffering and tempted to loose his hope because of his own hardships. Rocky, Adrian and Paulie are a family that rose itself with that opportunity Apollo's showned. This was one of the most deserving Oscar's in history.

    I love, love this movie. The victory for Creed is almost a sidenote at the end, because the conflict of the movie was Rocky fighting and winning a battle with himself, for his own self-respect, for the value of knowing he didn't give up, that he kept moving forward, even when everyone thought he was a joke and he maybe believed it himself at the start. I think that's why it reasonates with people. And he found the one person who never thought that! That's why he's shouting Adrian at the end, not even paying attention to the the judges decision. It's their victory together whoever the winner of the fight was. It's beautiful!

    This was the first major film to use the *Steadicam* which was a new invention which made steady shots without the use of a dolly track. Instead, the operator would carry the camera, and, with some weight distribution apparatus, could give smooth, non-shaky handheld shots. Case in point: following Stallone up the steps.
    The Steadicam was also used to film bump-free footage of the forest whizzing by as background footage of the speeder bike chase in Return Of The Jedi.

    I was in my mid-twenties when this film was first released in 1976. I found it very easy to root for Rocky in this film. He was honest, likable, a loyal friend. He was also very undisciplined when it came to boxing,, treating it more as another hustle.. until Mickey started training him. The group's reaction to Rocky's initial interacting with the promoter was spot on. There is a huge gap between fighting other club fighters and taking on the Heavyweight Champ! I also want to point out that his night before the fight assessment of victory over Creed was very real and believable as well. Going the distance was Rocky's victory! So glad Sylvester Stallone chose not to go "hollywood" on us. By the way, this film was inspired by a fight between Muhammad Al and Chuck "the Bayonne bleeder" Wepner. Good job, folks 😎

    I really wish so many reactors would stop projecting so much in their reactions. The date with Adrian in particular is just so ridiculous. Adrian is not incapable of saying no to Rocky the whole time. Just because he stopped her from opening the door once, doesn't mean that if she had said "Let me go." he would have held her against her will and forced himself on her. She was extremely shy and insecure. Her finally having it out with Paulie highlights that fact. She was closing herself off because she thought so little of herself. Rocky told her he thought she had pretty eyes and her response was, "Don't tease me." He even asked for consent to kiss her and you act like he is assaulting her.

      Some people don't get with some shy girls, you have to to be alittle more assertive and forward to coax them out of their shell.

I'm like Adrian and I've only started dating *this year* in my late 20s because of feeling the same. Someone being persistent as Rocky would've spared me years of doubting myself. I'm happy there are people out there who know Rocky would've respected a rejection, but Adrian being uncomfortable ≠ unwilling.

      Of course it doesn't automatically mean he would hold her against her will or anything but it's still not good optics when a woman says "I should go" and he comes up, basically closes and blocks the door/corners her and says don't go.

      @bespectacledheroine7292 Год назад +5

      @@Artistikk The problem is you're speaking in generalities. In this specific case the reason Adrian wanted to go was against her own interests. If she really wanted to, she would've answered in the affirmative when Rocky asked if she didn't like him or the room or any of that. She would've said, "If you continue I'll scream" at the door. The shyest women still have self-preservation instincts. In actuality Adrian wanted to and Rocky did as he saw best, period.
      Besides all that these are shortcuts a movie takes to get around something like a character's shyness that someone in real life actually courting another person would have to be a little more patient about or cut their losses on. So I feel like it's both ignoring the specifics of what we've seen of these two to this point and fundamentally misunderstanding how plot momentum works to get so up in arms about that scene.

    I can't believe that none of you have seen an all time classic movie like Rocky. like I could understand if some cattle ranchers who have only ever seen a few movies in their life haven't seen it, but a group of people making online content focused on movies and TV... I thought maybe one or two at most wouldn't have seen it.
    that just makes the reaction even better, I'm glad it's all brand new content for you!

    To answer the question why Rocky's coach Micky wanted him to stay down: when he was knocked down, if he tries to stand up to fast, he might lose his consciousness and fall again, and the fight would have ended there...

    Still early on in this reaction right now, but it's really funny how cringe everyone thinks the first date with the two of them are. At the end of this whole thing, we all know that each of us would be truly lucky to have a love like Rocky and Adrian in our lives.

    • @basketfreak023
      @basketfreak023 Год назад +4

      Its not just them, their first date definitely felt rapey towards the end for me. He slowly begins cornering her, invading her space, and the fact that she might be feeling trapped, alone in his house FOR THE FIRST TIME, and she could be too shy to say no. All im saying is it did not feel or look romantic at all, sure all their interactions after that scene can be seen as cute but that initial scene is a tough watch for sure.

    the reason why gozzo, paulie, mickey want to be a part of it, even though everyone is coming to it from a different pov is because these are people that are living lives of quiet desperation and this is their shot of doing something of note. Rocky gets this opportunity and to some extent, this opportunity is able to lift people up. Gozzo is no doubt a piece of shit, even he realizes it and gives rocky training money. This may be the one good deed he can look back on in his life.

    After multiple watches of this movie I noticed that the scenes before the first date apartment scene were all there to show Rocky's empathetic side. So when the apartment scene happens, I longer thought he was as creepy because I knew a lot about him. It definitely was a bit forceful but I guess he thought he needed to be because she was so shy. That wouldn't fly if it were two different people but Rocky and Andrianne were made for each other.

    Rocky is a damn good film. The story is great, it is not a boxing film but a love story, and Stallone showed his best acting niche only to rarely use it again: When he has to show emotion, he delivers like a madman. The problem is you rarely see that side of him, his best side, on his career, as he pretty much got stuck in "macho-hero" characters, and the rest is history. Rambo and Rocky are some of my favorite films precisely because you can see him deliver raw, pure emotion. Good stuff.

This series a bible to me, I even lost 54 lbs when Creed 1 came out (I was in my 40s and was getting out of shape and belly getting bigger LOL) After seeing Creed (and rewatching Rocky 1,2,3,4,5,and 6) I got back in shape.

    Loved your reaction, except one part. The romance was supposed to be beautiful. The guy with the hoodie was the only one that got it. They completed each other. Context is important when you watch older movies. Back in the 1970s, women didn’t want to be perceived as whores (so they played hard to get, didn’t want to be seen as sexual). On top of that, Adrian was very shy. On top of that, Paulie made her feel like a loser. You accept the love you think you deserve. Yes his apartment was like that, he was a poor bum. It was supposed to look realistic. He’s not going to have a beautiful IKEA model apartment. Last, it was considered romantic back then for a man to take charge and show you how much he desired you. Of course, if Adrian said “no” and pushed him away, he would have stopped. It was supposed to look as if she wanted to let go, but was too shy and afraid. She didn’t believe he could really love her. Once she believed it, she was all over him in later scenes.

    One of the great appeals of this movie is Stallone's real life story of getting the movie made parallels the fictional story of Rocky. Stallone was a relative unknown, he wrote the script in three and a half days. No studio wanted to make it, at least not with Stallone as the lead. They finally found a producer to back it and it went on to win nine Oscar nominations, winning for Best Picture and Best Director.

    Rocky, my favorite series all time. from the first to the lass loved it...Rocky five...yikes..just the story, the commitment, and the outcome, it's emotional and amazing. Saw my first Rocky movie on tv in 1982, I was 11 and was hooked....beyond belief. So extreme excited when me and my cousin watched Rocky III in the theaters. I remember it like it was an hour ago. When you get to the other movies you'll get it.. It's about what you can over come in life.
