It is said that Loki is the originator of inspirational films, and inspirational is basically one of the main themes of American movies. Under this motif, there are countless excellent movies, and even floods. It stands to reason that I, who has been nurtured by the inspirational culture, should have immunity. After watching the film nearly 50 years later, I still have the heart to be moved. What is the purpose of building a dam for tears?
In Rocky, I saw an era, an idealistic Uncle Sam still wearing the American Dream hat, no politicians with global minds, no accountants who can compare the baht, no agents who only consider the maximization of business interests, no Become the underworld modern management of the MBA program. We have seen an idealistic garden of Eden. People are not smart and rich, but they are as happy and enjoy themselves as fools.
In Rocky, I saw a kind of spirit, a kind of self-improvement without utilitarianism. This kind of self-improvement is a deep understanding and belief in the law of the jungle, especially in China. What we have since ancient times is the bait of self-righteous wishers. Waiting, confident and incompetent, like a pile of rotten meat. Lokili has an instinctive blood, a kind of cowardly fearlessness, no belief in victory, no dream of success, no domineering arrogance to take me, no principle of challenging oneself, like a real person As ordinary, as noble as a real hero.
In Rocky, I saw a kind of love. There was only an affectionate kiss that made both parties limp to the ground, only the affectionate call to the lover when exhausted, only the lover waiting anxiously when fighting, no roses and chocolates, only dogs and Ba, there is no personable, only a dull expression, a savage body, no bumps, only a red coat and short hair.
I don’t want to go back, I just want to have, have some foolish purity, have some bloody extreme, have some incompetent staggering, have some painful enthusiasm, Li Ao said: There are stars in our world, it does not have light, but it does. Hope; there is Wen Tianxiang in our world, he did not succeed, but he has righteousness. We don't care about secular utility and we don't need to use actuarial methods to make choices and stay. There are too many smart people in the world. There are no hurricanes, no pastels, no chivalry, no stars and Wen Tianxiang in their world, they have no idealism, they are too poor.

    After 45 years of watching, Rocky 1 is still an amazing movie. Except for Stallone's fleshy body when he was young, the story itself is extremely mediocre-but it is just right to tell the American dream in the eyes of a grassroots second-generation immigrant. The Italians are really a nation that is too similar to the Chinese. The gang boss can be regarded as a "neighborhood" in a certain sense. Work together. The film is not too sensational, only the life of the Italian community in the eyes of Rocky, the long running and training, and the rescue of each other with a girl who is as clumsy as herself. The final climax of the fight is both exciting and absurd-the true American spirit is the boxing champion who is able to do well among high-ranking officials and dressed in the coat of Washington and Uncle Sam, or the boxing champion who has survived 15 rounds and can't stand up and win. Only the Rocky of the beloved girl in his eyes? It is precisely because of this kind of thinking, not the vague MAGA, that the American dream is well-known to the world.

    "If I can play the whole game... When the bell rings, I am still standing on the court, I will understand for the first time in my life... I am no longer a crappy guy." and "Angry Bull" one liter. Reflecting each other, how many fists does a man have to be called a man. When I watched the film, I complained that the details were too many and too fragmented. It was not until the last boxing duel of less than 20 minutes that I fully understood that the previous more than 100 minutes of foreshadowing were meaningful.
