Your usual thoughtful writing here. I loved ëverything about Rocky, even the love scene that made me cringe. People got into it because of the music, which makes your heart soar, the triumph of connection and hard work to beat his bigger and better opponent, and the love story.
I have spent time in Philly and my husband and I both did the steps.....
It's hilarious how much you can hear the "DADA DAAH" in your head in this context hahaha. I'm thinking of watching the rest of the Rocky movies now. I really enjoyed this first one a lot.
The script and the acting of Stallone both had me from the beginning of the movie, which I saw in the theater in the Bay Area in 1976. I also loved Carl Weathers in the movie. Of course, I saw the first four movies and for Weathers, Predator with Schwartzenegger. When it comes to these type of movies, there are no better. You should watch Ali's When We Were Kings. It is also great. Boxing movies are not all bad.
I was just in the Bay Area for the past month! Didn't get to see Rocky in a theater out there, but seeing it in the Philly area was pretty apt at least.
Thanks for the recommendations! Have you seen the whole Rocky series? I didn't realize there were so many of them! I'm feeling compelled now to watch the next few.
