What is your interpretation of the movie Rocky? What makes it a good film in your opinion?

For Frazier, who lived in a room in small rowhouse as Rocky did, who ran through the streets of Philadelphia and hammered meat carcasses in a slaughterhouse, exactly as Rocky did, he felt the inspirational story of a poor kid training to be a champion was stolen: Frazier described Rocky as a:

“you could have been somebody!”

Indeed, for Frazier, a dirt poor kid who came to Philly at 15, and was working in a slaughterhouse before and during the early part of his boxing career, Niall Gray says:

What's your love story?

Rocky is about a man who has thrown away his chances to be something in life, and chosen instead to simply float through it.

Joe Frazier, an old fashioned tough guy, wouldn’t stoop to suing. It also helped that Stallone carefully cultivated Frazier, and gave him a bit appearance in Rocky.

In any event, Stallone began working on the script for Rocky the night he came home from the Wepner fight, and finished it in 3 days.

How did Rocky come to be?

In its purest form, the story has four themes:

Why Joe Frazier Was Unhappy With The Rocky Movies by Niall Gray

Wepner was stopped in the 15th round by Ali, with no one expecting him to last as long as he did. Despite the fact that the match motivated Stallone to begin work on Rocky, he has denied, (probably for legal reasons, since Wepner sued him for stealing his life) that Wepner was the inspiration for the story.

Rocky is not really a boxing movie at all. The boxing is a fairly well done backdrop to a tale of love, second chances, and redemption.

sometimes we get a second chance, and can change our lives;

“This satisfying, classic boxing movie offers some decent messages. Rocky is realistic about his goal. He does not need to win. He just needs to acquit himself with dignity, to show that he is in the same league as the champion. In order to achieve that goal, he will risk giving everything he has, risk even the small pride of an unbroken nose. He develops enough self-respect to risk public disgrace. This is a big issue for teens -- adolescence has been characterized as the years in which everything centers around the prayer, "God, don't let me be embarrassed today." Rocky begins as someone afraid to give his best in case it is not good enough, and becomes someone who suspects that his best is enough to achieve his goals, and is willing to test himself to find out.”

In my experience, British people are fat, ugly and arrogant. Why is it and can it be changed?

Sylvester Stallone watched fringe contender and journeyman Chuck Wepner fight Muhammad Ali in March 1975.

What does the movie really mean?

Wepner got credit for his part, the Ali-Wepner fight, by suing.

and most importantly, that sometimes people can find strength they never knew they had, to do things they thought were impossible.

Rocky is chosen because his nickname “The Italian Stallion” appeals to Creed who believes he can market it as the champ giving the small time journeyman a chance, and play up the Black versus Italian angle.

After Rocky gets a title shot, Mickey, who has trained in the lowest of levels in pro boxing, sees a chance to train a champion.

Rocky Balboa, (played by Sylvester Stallone) is a low level club fighter in Philly who moonlights as muscle for a local loanshark. His life seems running on empty, when he is randomly chosen to take on the undisputed world heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed (played by Carl Weathers), after the undefeated champion’s next opponent is knocked out of their match with an injury.

It has been suggested that much of the inspiration for the story may also have been drawn from the life of Rocky Marciano, a real Italian American champion, and Joe Frazier, a local Philadelphia fighter who worked in a slaughterhouse as Rocky Balboa did, and lived in the same way early in his career.

Neal Minnow catches the meaning of Rocky, and why it continues to resonate with viewers:

Wepner felt his bout against Ali inspired Rocky, and that:

“When talking about his own past, Frazier described the job he once held in a Philadelphia slaughterhouse, where he would punch the hanging meat as a form of training. Years later, this was something that Stallone used for Rocky's own training regimen in the film. Frazier also talked about how he used to run up the museum steps in Philadelphia, and how that was another idea that Stallone used for Rocky which became instantly synonymous with the fictional character.”

I have a "fat pussy" and I'm super self cautions about it. Do guys think it's gross?

That is the bottom line: the boxing is a backdrop, and the morals simple: sometimes you get a second chance, like Rocky did, one in a million longshots do happen, love can bloom in the least likely places, and occasionally people find a strength they never knew they had and rise up to accomplish things they never thought they could.

For both Chuck Wepner and Joe Frazier, the movie was “sad”

The story in it’s plainest form

What does it mean to dream about demons possessing people, and what can be done about this dream that keeps occurring for years?

Rocky is a man who gets a one in a million chance, and through it finds love, redemption, and something in himself he never knew he had…

“sad story" for me, as I felt I was never given any credit for the way [his training and my life] inspired a part of the film.”

Former bantamweight contender Mickey Goldmill (Burgess Meredith) is the owner of the local gym who has castigated Rocky for throwing his talent away. Mickey tells him:

To a flat Earther, what's wrong with the idea that gravity is simply a force inherent to space which operates only in one dimension? Why do they go further and try to deny gravity rather than just saying it's different than physicists claim?

Rocky finally agrees to accept his help, and also begins a relationship with Adrian (Talia Shire), the wallflower sister of his coworker and friend Paulie (Burt Young). Balboa also slowly comes to realize he perhaps was more than he had believed himself to be.
