The film has a concise structure and sincere feelings, which can especially inspire the audience to sympathize with the weak. Although the film is a small production, there are no big scenes, no traces of intricate carvings, but it is full of primitive beauty, and the performance, lines and soundtrack are quite in place. "Rocky" highlights the American spirit with a story about the American dream. As a humble figure in the lower class, his life is calm and unremarkable. He also seems to be a little stupid, but he decided to become a world boxing champion. When he regards him as a sandbag to improve his reputation, the spirit of never admitting defeat in his heart is fully revealed. The hard training proves the spirit that a man should embody when facing great pressure and challenges. "Rocky" shows this tenacious spirit of perseverance through the film, and some parts of this spirit obviously transcend national boundaries.
