        Rocky was a mentally challenged neighbourhood loser whose only claim to fame was not going down in the first round against a world champion boxer because he didn't have enough brain to get concussed, and he only got that chance to be great out of pure fucking luck not hard work. What the fuck are you talking about.

          Probably bait but he was the first boxer to ever go the distance against Creed. No one had ever gone 12 rounds with him before that and Rocky almost does. His body is screaming out to, his trainer is telling him stay down but he doesn't. He refuses because he wants to prove to himself more than anyone else that he can do it.

          Are you retarded or did you just get filtered? The whole point is that Rocky isn't interested in winning the fight. His only goal is to go the distance, because no one has done that with Apollo before, thereby showing to himself, and Adrian, that he isn't just some bum.

          You're the one who thinks Rocky was meant to be about how you anyone can be great, rather than being a realistic story about a bum never amounting to more than a good punching bag but that's okay because he found love in a socially retarded girl. You've been brainwashed by all the sequels that Stallone only made because it was his shot at competing with Arnie as an action star in the box office, betraying the well-acted and realistic story it began as. Just as with Rambo.

            This anon is correct. Rocky is about proving to yourself that you're not a complete piece of shit coward, and his particular way is by getting brutally beaten and coming back for more. Afterward he doesn't care about who won, only Adrian. They can start a new life together now that he has proven to himself that he's not a quitter and is willing to try his hardest. The sequels fucked it all up. Rocky Balboa is pretty good though.

          Busboy jobs used to start at 1.5x minimum wage, and this was back when the point if minimum wage was that fill time minimum wage could actually pay for housing, and food, and clothing, etc.
          plenty of people who worked in the equivalent of fast food restaurants of the time could live off those jobs, and many did so for decades, because the pay was decent.

          Philadelphia still has manufacturing jobs, and still had major manufacturing jobs up until the 1970s and 1980s.
          The Budd manufacturing plant only closed in the 1990s.

              This is what normal stairs look like in my dreams where I suddenly become afraid of heights out of nowhere and have to crawl up them to keep from slipping and falling off.

              Seriously, why do my dreams make me afraid of heights? I don't get it. I've fucking skydived without my pulse rising but I wake up from nightmares where I fall off a stair and my heart is racing.

              Again, is this bait or are you being serious? Have you ever watched Rocky? What are you going on about the accomplishment of 72 steps?

              >72 steps

              Wow, what an accomplishment! Sure, you'll get exhausted if you're out of shape, but unless you're very overweight, anyone can run up those stairs.

              It's a montage. All those locations would be over a marathon
              t. ran cross country and went to school in center city philly

              >It's just not hard to run up the stairs in Philly unless you're seriously out of shape. There are stairs with more than 1000 steps that people use for exercise. 72 is nothing.
              The point wasn’t running up the steps.
              The point was that Rocky ran up the steps, after running for miles across Philly to get to the steps, AND THEN, running up the steps.

      I wonder if this is bait or if you're actually this fucking stupid. Please respond back, thank you.

      That was at the end of his run around the city. Maybe watch some films sometime, they’re a real gas.

        That's what I've been trying to get out of him. Either he was shitposting, or he's an actual retard.

    That`s because Rocky is the most inspiring shit ever. It just makes your heart burn with passion, you train harder, you work harder, you just feel like improving and not losing to yourself and to life.

    It was quite inspiring at the time. We didn't have other stuff like that at that point. You'll probably not be able to understand it, zoomzoom.

    I was 8 years old back in 1998 when I first watched it and it motivated me into a lifestyle of fitness and martial arts. I was jacked by the time I entered middle school and it made me popular. I thank Rocky for motivating me to better myself and for allowing me to live like a Chad during my school years. Modern day broccoli head femboys will never understand.

    the scene where he wakes up at 4am to drink a bunch of raw eggs and run was pure kino, if you don't understand this perhaps you should watch some capeshit with epic scores and mind numbing visuals.

        you don't understand the scene. it's not the eggs, it's the routine you should be able to appreciate. the eggs are just protein, could just as easily be a sòy shake, but even then you wouldn't get it because self-discipline is a foreign concept to you.
