I haven’t watched a movie for a long time. Thanks to the Spring Festival holiday, I have some time to watch movies and draw out what I’m thinking about.
"Rocky" is a very well-known sports-themed inspirational movie. I watched it again recently when I had some time, and I accidentally discovered that the final ring battle also happened on the occasion of the New Year. I didn't expect it to be so appropriate. Let’s use it to wish everyone a happy Year of the Ox!
"Rocky" has been filmed for five times so far, which has attracted my attention, from 1976 to 2006. I wonder what is so worth taking about this film. Although I have never seen it, I know from "Heel" that the first part of the series is not only the best but also a very interesting one. I remember the "President of the Appearance Association" said that this film is the male version of Cinderella. This is true. Indeed, "Rocky" is basically a "naked" inspirational film anyway. After I took a look at it, unexpectedly, I still said to myself, "Well, it's kind of interesting."
As an inspirational movie, it does have a Hollywood-style plot and structure. The film spends nearly half of its running time showing Rocky's down and out situation. The film begins with an unexciting competition. Although Rocky won, there was no excitement from the winner on the stage, and there were no huge cheers from the audience. Instead, they were all scolding that the competition was boring. In the lounge, we learned that this victory earned Rocky a bonus of 65 yuan. After various expenses, he finally got 40 yuan. This makes the audience understand that the protagonist's boxing career is not only not exciting, but also almost to the point where he can only make ends meet. This is not over yet. Since the boxing ring cannot support Rocky, a part-time job is a natural choice. Take a look at the protagonist's part-time job - collecting debts for the underworld. Thinking about it, it can be considered as playing to one's strengths. But Rocky is not a cruel person by nature. No matter how cruel he is, he still has to listen to his head. He did not follow the requirements of "above" in the debt collection task, and ended up being ridiculed. Then, Rocky returned to the boxing gym and found that his locker no longer belonged to him. "Old Mike" unceremoniously told Rocky that the locker now belonged to a star of tomorrow, and Rocky would still be a star regardless of whether he won the game or not. Crappy stuff. Destitute enough? Not enough. Then even the street gangsters didn't bother to listen to Rocky's preaching, and finally gave him a handsome gesture in return.
The gesture of an ignorant child stung Rocky again.
After being humiliated, humiliated, and embarrassed, Lady Luck finally stood beside Xianyu and taught him how to turn over. Heavyweight champion Apollo wants to give a nobody a chance to challenge the God of War and show the bullshit American spirit. (Inspirational Quotes) Our protagonist is chosen because of his charming nickname - "Italian Stallion", and Cinderella puts on the glass slipper. At this point, I think this is the general overview of the film. I guess anyone would say "Okay, there's no need to watch this movie, the plot is vulgar". But like I said myself, the movie is still interesting.
Stallone: ??We all know him, but we have never seen any movies based on his fame, such as the inspirational movie "Inspirational Movie: "Rocky"". Basically, I think he is a muscular man, a talking human bonsai. The first drop of blood, even a basin of it, I won't even pinch you with my eyelids. But after watching this film, oh! ? That doesn't seem to be the case. What impressed me the most was Stallone's rich voice with a strong nasal rumble mixed with a lazy temperament. His voice was steady when he spoke, coupled with his languid face, his eyelids drooped as if he didn't care. Whether it's intentional or Stallone's true character (mostly the latter). The effect is very good, and the film does not show any weakness in pain and struggle. We only see the protagonist going through every day hard. "Hard" is yes, it means "hard", not strong. Strong may refer more to psychology, and Stallone showed me hardness, a man who looks like a stone and has gone through all kinds of things.
Delicacy that takes advantage of every detail: The overall temperament of the film is very hard, without any soul-wrenching or heart-wrenching pain. However, there are still some delicate details in the tough overall, making the film poke you gently from time to time.
Seeing myself as a child always reminds me of the past era, the past youth, and the disillusioned ideals. Looking at himself now, Rocky felt helpless from the bottom of his heart. What on earth was he doing?
Anger, without this breath of energy that makes people strive for progress, even if the goddess grabs the salted fish, she may not be able to stand up. From Rocky's conversation in the tavern, it was obvious that he still had a breath trapped in his chest.
"What have you worked hard for?" Asking the boss also tortured himself.
"Old Mike" also hopes that he can take advantage of the opportunity to stand up and give himself a last chance to use his sarcastic and sarcastic attitude towards Rocky. And now he comes to show his kindness. People can't help but feel that this old man is very powerful, but during the conversation, they also felt the sadness of "Old Mike" shamelessly recommending himself. After all, he is already so young, and he is so humble just for the last chance. Stallone also gave the best performance in the film here. Rocky finally broke out, roaring hysterically, revealing the anger and dissatisfaction he had suppressed for many years.
Speaking of the ending, it really made me sweat. Fortunately, the director did not let Rocky defeat Apollo, which finally brought the film to a successful conclusion, making Rocky's struggle sublimated to the point where victory or defeat has nothing to do with it. , just for your own ideals, to prove yourself, and for love. The ending is also handled very simply, just like a hug that ignores outsiders, saying "I love you" and "I love you" in the mouth, freeze frame, black screen, and scrolling subtitles. All that remained in his mind was Rocky's scarred face after a hard battle.
Music: Everyone should have experienced this. For such a tough film, and with an inspirational theme, an exciting and progressive soundtrack is indispensable. But I didn’t expect the film’s soundtrack to be so excellent and fit so well into the movie. You all remember the scene where Rocky runs in the city dressed in gray. It’s a must-have scene in a classic inspirational film. An exciting and exciting soundtrack plus the protagonist In episodic struggle scenes, as the music ends, the protagonist has often transformed into the best Phoenix man (woman). I can't help myself when I talk about this, montage is fine, but it's really childish to be fooled into having those three minutes of excitement by this kind of plot. Life is life. In the face of hardships, there is only fierce fighting. How can there be so many bloody battles? Give it time to bake, throw it into the sea of ??bitterness and boil it. Only when it is scorched and boiled can it truly be reborn. Inspirational means inspirational, see if you can, don’t believe it all. In addition to this classic soundtrack, there is also a piano soundtrack that is also outstanding. It first appeared when Rocky turned around and left because he did not act according to the requirements of the gang boss. The music sounded, and the pure sound of the piano was heard. Only a few drops moved me, making me feel that although Rocky was a tough guy, he was just a thug. He was dependent on others, and he also felt sad about it. Only he knew the feeling.
Inspirational movies are inspirational, but no one knows what you get from them. They may ignite you, coax you, or anesthetize you. And what did I get? Just look at it and you'll know, it's my avatar in buckskin, my goddess, yes. I want to say that maybe everyone has unpleasant or even difficult things to deal with. So since the goddess of luck is not on our side, please show your courage and try to be on the goddess's side.
