Oh girl, you just made my day!! Sorry, Django…you will have to wait! This is how I’m ending my night tonight. “Ah come on, Adrian, it's true. I was nobody. But that don't matter either, you know? 'Cause I was thinkin', it really don't matter if I lose this fight. It really don't matter if this guy opens my head, either. 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.”

The notion of a reactor who regularly sits through some of the most brutal war sequences ever committed to film feeling nervous about getting into the sports movie genre is so unexpectedly wholesome, lol.

Adriaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!

So incredible! The best reactor watching the first movie from my favorite movie franchise and it was even better than I hoped it would be. I hope to see you go the distance with the rest of the series, including the Creed movies!

Spoiler Warning One of my favorite parts about the ending is that Apollo is announced as the winner off-screen. They only show his reaction to the first judge's ruling, and Rocky doesn't even listen for a judge that scored it in his favor, he's only focused on Adrian. Most other movies would build dramatic tension around the announcement of the winner, but that wasn't the point at all. Rocky had already won in his heart in two ways, the results of the fight didn't matter to him in that moment.

You’ve got me even more pumped up to watch her reaction to this movie later tonight. The Rocky franchise is also among my favorites.

YO!!!

It will not disappoint! Her perceptive abilities our at the peak. She understands Mickey and Paulie's characters immediately, which I've never seen anyone do.

This is a beautiful film. The boxing is an aside to reflections on who we are, who we could be, our fallacies and doubts about ourselves, and the potential to overcome them. Both Rocky and Adrian have been ground down by life and told they are lesser people; Rocky things he is a "bum" that had a bit of potential in the ring, but seemingly squandered all that, and is angry and frustrated with his lot in life. He is not that far off of becoming Paulie, a brutish oaf and bully who takes out his own failings on his meek sister. Then fortune happens, and the heavyweight champion of the world wants to put up his belt for a friendly bout with a local boxer, and Rocky gets picked. Immediately we see Rocky have self-esteem issues about the bout, as he feels he doesn't deserve to step in the ring with the world champion and is going to get shown up for the bum he really is. However when he and Adrian start dating, they begin to bring the best out in each other, and she finds her strength and helps him find his courage. Of course the scene where he is telling her on the bed, that all he wants to do is go the distance, to prove to himself that he isn't one of life's failures, even if he gets his head caved in; would be a victory, and its this attitude that takes him into the ring and gives Apollo the fight of his life. And Adrian stands up for herself, and puts Paulie in his place, showing that she does have great inner strength, and this is encapsulated in the final moments of the film, where previously she wouldn't say boo to a goose, but she knocks her way through the crowd to reach her love, Rocky as he gains his pride. Deserved Oscar winner. Stallone's magnum opus, and the film that made him a star.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched this film, and I never noticed the painting over the dining room table. I had to go back scene by scene, every time they were in her house to find it. Holy cow. That is totally Adrian. That single shot is amazing. I never realized the full extent of what we were seeing. Adrian was already starting to come out of her shell by this point, and was trying to love on Rocky. But Rocky pushed her away, and denied her affections because of his training. When he told her to just go cook the meat, she reverted back to her old subservient and introverted way. When Rocky realized what he had done and gets up to walk to the kitchen, the camera pans to the right farther than it should. The camera pans over to fully and intentionally include that painting. It’s like a two shot of Rocky and Adrian on the left AND The Painting on the right. Adrian walks out of the kitchen with her head down, saying “It’s ok.” She looks up at Rocky and then almost immediately looks back down and walks away. Rocky calls her back again, and puts his arms around her and wraps her in his blanket with himself. Them on the left side of the screen and the painting on the right… the whole time. The painting showing a beautiful and vibrant woman, also with a blue and sad version of the woman looking down and off to the side. That painting is the 2 Adrians, and in that one shot, we see her almost return to the blue Adrian with her head down, but Rocky calls the vibrant Adrian back and gives her love. The next time we see Adrian after that shot, she is outside Rocky’s place looking like a Heartbreaker. Looking Beautiful and Vibrant. The next time we see Adrian with Paulie… she’s standing up for herself, finally, telling him off on the way he’s treated her. I might be looking too much into it, but when Rocky walks back to the bedroom to get Adrian, the painting is in full view again, and the lighting is low enough, that you only see the vibrant woman. The blue side is gone forever. Rocky walks into the bedroom, and Adrian, sitting there, looking confident asks, “You want a roommate?” That is so cool. Thank You Teegan. So right about Bill Conti’s score too. Every time that piano comes in, the tears start. I really hope you’re very curious to know how the rest of Rocky’s story plays out. It’s gonna be real tough to have long waits between the films. By the way, you MUST keep watching the rest of the Rocky films. There is a continuing story. An amazing story. One of the Greatest Stories ever put to film. All written by Sylvester Stallone and 4 of the next 5 directed by Stallone. Thank You again. (I still can’t believe I never noticed that damn painting before. ;-)

Your reaction and commentary to this film was everything I wanted it to be…and more. YOU GET IT! It’s not a movie about boxing. It is a love story (straight out of Stallone’s mouth), and it’s a movie about the struggles of life when life hasn’t been kind to you. And you spotted something that I haven’t heard anyone ever comment on…that painting on the wall in Adrian and Paulie’s house. The painting is based on a Margaret Keane lithograph called “Transitions”. Your perception and interpretation that it parallels Adrian’s “transition” from her shell are absolutely amazing. I am beyond happy that you fell in love with this movie, and this is, for me, my favorite of your reactions (well, maybe it’s tied with Forrest Gump). And I really urge you to continue with the rest of the Rocky films. As good as Rocky is, Rocky II is even better, and it continues to focus on the relationship between Rocky and Adrian. And if you thought the use of the music in this movie was good…just wait. I will sum it up by stealing one of your phrases…chef’s kiss.

Like you, Larry, I never took notice of that painting until a couple of years ago, when I was just flipping through a magazine and I came across an article that discussed that painting and how it was a reflection on Adrian’s character arc (for the life of me, I can’t remember what the magazine was). The next time I watched the movie, I was on the lookout for it, and there it was, hiding in plain sight. And it was so perfectly and subtly summing up Adrian’s life in a little frame on the wall. Up until Teegan’s reaction, I’ve never heard any other reactor spot it and talk about it. Hell, I’ve never had ANYONE, period, ever mention it to me. Just an amazingly insightful and perceptive catch on Teegan’s part.

Larry Darrell

Ditto. I mean it’s right there. In its own space. Why frame the shot that way if you weren’t meant to notice it. 🤦‍♂️ +1 for Teegan. ;-) Glad to know I wasn’t the only one though. :-)

James Lewis

Love, love your reaction! You're exactly right; it truly is a love story.

Glad you enjoyed the film. You don't know how many times I've heard someone say "This isn't a boxing film at all. It's a love story with boxing as a backdrop." Just a few fun facts about the film. Butkus, named for Chicago Bears legend Dick Butkus, was Stallone's own dog, as you discovered. What you might not know is that Sly was so poor at one point that he had to sell Butkus to another family for $40. After he sold the script for "Rocky" to MGM, he went to the family and bought Butkus back. The amount has changed over the years from as little as $200, to as much as $15,000. But, Sly felt strongly about having him in the film since he had been with him through the lean years. He's also in Rocky II. Talia Shire, who plays "Adrian", is the real life sister of Francis Ford Coppola and the aunt of actor Nicolas Cage (Coppola). She also appears in all three "Godfather" films as Connie Corleone. Carl Weathers, actually played in the NFL as a linebacker for the Oakland Raiders, as well as the Canadian Football League, before retiring in 1974. He's also appeared in "Predator", "Action Jackson", and "Happy Gilmore", as well as the first four "Rocky" films. Sadly, he passed away on February 2nd. He was 76. In 1976, "Rocky" was the highest grossing film in the world. On a production budget of just under $1 million it made $225 million. That would be equivalent to almost $1.3 billion in today's money. It also won three academy awards, including Best Picture and Best Director for John G. Avildsen.

Wow!! So many cool things of note here. Thanks for sharing all of it. So great he got it involve his dog that meant so much to him! I can’t imagine needed $40 so badly that I had to sell my dog 😞

Gotta get rid of this lag... From the YT Cut... Told ya I'm lagging! Loved that you got it! But there isn't only a connection between Rocky & Mickey, there's another one between Rocky and Gazzo! But we don't know what that is. Mickey said: "I run a business not a soup kitchen..." Hinting that he's given Rocky that locker to see if Rocky would really try... But he see's that Rocky isn't and find out he's become a leg breaker. To that generation one of Thee lowest forms of life. FYI: About the eggs? The yolk is nice and creamy! And you don't have to cook'em to boot! LOL
