Intro: An iconic movie... that I had never seen before! And because I'm such a big fan of the "Creed" movies, I finally decided to give this movie - the OG of the franchise - a go.
Film 2379: "Rocky" (1976), John G. Avildsen
Watched on: From my computer
Language: English
Watched with: No one
Thoughts: I've never been a big fan of the 60s and 70s, so I'm not necessarily a big fan of movies from that era. That said, I thought it was ridiculous that I had never seen "Rocky" before.
With this in mind, I have to say that a) I understand why this film is considered so iconinc and b) yeah, it isn't necessairily my vibe, still I enjoyed the watch enough. My biggest struggle was understanding the accent and the delivery of the lines, which left me quite puzzled at times.
Overall it's a good sport movie. A bit outdated when it comes to gender and handling of the female character, but you can't watch a movie from 50 years ago with the eyes of today. Anyway... ADRIAAAAAAAAN!
Ps. Fun fact: Sylvester Stallone became the third person to be nominated for both acting and writing in the same year at the Oscars, following Charles Chaplin for "The Great Dictator" (1940) and Orson Welles for "Citizen Kane" (1941).
Cast: Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burt Young, Carl Weathers, Burgess Meredith.
Box Office: $225 million
Worth a watch?: Definitely worth watching it if you've never seen it before. It's a cult classic and made Stallone a major movie star.
Awards: 10 Oscar nominations (including Best Actor for Stallone, Actress for Shire, Supporting Actor for both Young and Meredith and Screenplay for Stallone), it won 3 for Best Picture, Director and Film Editing. 5 noms at the BAFTAs (including Best Picture, Dirctor, Actor for Stallone and Screenplay). 6 Golden Globe nominations (including Best Actor and Actress, Director and Score) and 1 win for Best Motion Picture – Drama.
Key word: Match.
