Movie Hero

If you were to ask me, which character in the movies is my hero. I would have tell you, its Rocky..
The entire Rocky series is not just about boxing like most people think. The Rocky series is about passion, dreams, determination, love and hope. It also brings forth the downside of pride, jealousy,, anger, low self-esteem. In whole and general, it is really a wonderful and terrific movie.

Rocky always stands up after a knock. He is not like Rambo or Bruce Willis in Die Hard, where nobody can touch him. In fact, he got hammered quite badly. Rocky said this in the last installment of the series to his son:
"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!!"

Woohoo... Winner's mentality. Winners are not those who never fails, but those who never quits.

The writer and actor of Rocky himself has this perservering spirit within him. Rocky 1 was only given a budget of US$1.2 million.(which is very very little for a movie-even Jack Neo's movie has a higher budget.) but it turned un a total of US$117.2 million from box office sales...
