Rocky and his old coach

Raphaelle 2021-10-13 13:06:38

The three-and-a-half-star work is another classic Hollywood genre that is not unexpected. The narrative is smooth, inspirational, and not disappointing or surprising.

There was only one scene that moved me. Unfortunately, this idea did not continue throughout the film. When the old coach came to Rocky’s house to look for him, one shot showed the old man turning around and saying, "I'm 76 years old..." with a haggard face. Life has come to an end, and there is no hope anymore. This scene suddenly improves the whole film. The image of that bitter and mean snobbery who didn't give people a chance suddenly became a poor old man who was frustrated in his life and walked tremblingly. When Rocky cursed for a long time, and finally went out to retrieve the coach, my tears almost fell. At that moment, I admired the creators who portrayed the selfishness, cowardice, and pitifulness of these two men here, because this is a trait shared by humans. But can humans be blamed for this? Because life is so difficult. However, we still tolerate each other. We lay down our dignity and seek mutual recognition. This is also the warm side of human nature and the strength that allows us to continue to go on together.

Every individual is neither good nor bad, and every relationship is neither black nor white. This aspect of human nature can be photographed. This is the height of an excellent film, and Rocky is one of them.
