Rocky

I watch the movie Rocky with Sylvester Stallone. He plays the role of the main character rocky Barbosa. In the beginning in the movie it starts off with a rocky in the small-town in a small gym. At first it doesn’t look good for you but then his opponent had bug head butts rocky making him mad which ends up with Rocky victorious. Rocky doesn’t earn much from his small fights, in fact he only won $40. Not making much money from fades leads Rocky to find other means of making money. Rocky becomes a money collector for a mob. While doing this he is trying to catch the attention or a local store clerk Adrian. Adrian doesn’t know why Rocky boxes, he tells her it is because he is a bum and a moron. Rocky soon has an opportunity to prove to himself that he isn't a bum, after all. Heavyweight champion of the world, Apollo Creed, needs a new challenger. Creed has flair, and he wants the fight to be a spectacle. So he chooses Rocky Balboa, the Italian Stallion, knowing what good publicity it will be when he gives a local Philly boy a shot at the title.Rocky doesn't think he's good enough to    fight Creed. But he realizes that he doesn't have to win to prove to himself that he isn't a bum. He simply has to "go the distance," which means fifteen rounds with the champ without getting knocked out. No one has ever done that before, and Rocky is determined to be the first. So all he cares about is the reputation he puts in for lasting so long not the fact that he wants to win. He trains a whole lot, he jogs up the steps of Philadelphia's Museum of Art. He punches slabs of meat in the slaughterhouse. Mickey, the owner of a local gym, becomes Rocky's trainer and manager. On New Years day the biggest match of the century occurs. Rocky vs Apollo Creed. Rockys trainer tells him that he has to go for Creed’s ribs, so Rocky does. Actually he breaks a few of his ribs. But Rocky gets his nose broken but to everyone's surprise he kept his cool.He goes the distance with the champ. He doesn't win the fight, but he doesn't care, because he has proven his own self-worth. (Aw, shucks.) And he has Adrian. She rushes from the locker room, through the crowd, and onto the ring to embrace Rocky, swollen face and all. The two soulmates say "I love you" for the first time, and the movie ends with this romantic knockout. This movie had a good aspect of that you don't always need to win.
