**WARNING: THIS COMMENT MAY INCLUDE SPOILER INFO**
It is very hard to try and put into words what this film is. This is the first movie I can remember watching as a young child and it would be safe to say that it may be my favorite of all-time.
"Rocky" is a stirring tribute to the never say die and never give up attitude that it's title character possesses and ultimately brings him from rags to riches. This film teaches us that anyone has a chance to succeed and that is a lesson that every young child should learn early in life.
What Sylvester Stallone wrote is not simply a script but a life lesson. We can easily become involved in the lives of the characters that he created. This is a great story, period.
In addition to the story, the acting, and technical aspects make this a film that ranks among the greatest of all-time. Direction, cinematography, photography, and choreography all contribute to this film's success.
The characters and the personalities are charted and developed throughout the film and the entire series. Rocky and Adrian both change each other. Rocky finds his sensitive side and Adrian opens up to him as the film progresses. Their romance is an underlying theme that in the end is the motivation that drives Rocky to go the distance with Creed. "Rocky" shows us how strong and influential the love of a woman can be to a man.
Any film fan should not only have seen this film but should also make it part of their video library. "Rocky" is a tremendous accomplishment in terms of acting, directing, writing, cinematography and photography. More importantly, however, "Rocky" is a personification of the human spirit. It teaches us that with the love of a woman and an indomitable spirit, anything is possible.
"Because if that bell rings and I'm still standing, then I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I wasn't just another bum from the neighborhood." --Rocky Balboa
