Rocky Balboa

I have watched movie Rocky Twice. I liked it. This movie was based on True Story of Sylvester Stallone’s. He is known for his 2 roles - Rocky Balboa and soldier John Rambo. Both are action movie. But He gained worldwide recognition after release of Rocky (1976). He was 30 Years old when this movie released. Rocky went on to win the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Directing and Best Film Editing.

Officially Reported by Wikipedia -

For a scene in Rocky IV, he told Dolph Lundgren "Punch me as hard as you can in the chest." "Next thing I know, I was in intensive care at St. John’s Hospital for four days. It’s stupid!"[citation needed] While filming a fight scene with actor Steve Austin in The Expendables, he broke his neck, which required the insertion of a metal plate.

But before Rocky, he was an ordinary man who was paralyzed in the lower left part of his face. He was not having enough money to survive. He was homeless for several days. When he came to New York for his acting career, nobody hires him. He slept at the New York Bus Terminal for 3 weeks. He sold his only companion dog for only 25$ and did the soft core pornography for just 200$ for 2 days work. At this point he was completely broke. He got an idea of screenplay while watching Muhammad Ali fight. He was all by himself for 3 days and wrote the script of Rocky. But story was still not over.

He found the producer who was ready to pay 1, 25,000 but trick was, he will not act in it. He was out of money, completely broke but had a dream to be an Actor. Later they offered..3, 25,000 and again he refused. He was broke but knows the right path which can lead him to glory.

Finally Producer agreed to let him act but only paid 35,000. You know, what he did the first thing. To spent 15,000 to locate his best companion and buy his best buddy - his dog. You can see this dog in Movie. Finally Rocky made the huge business 200$ Million. It was not stopped here. There is a long series of rocky and they did well.

My Favorite Lines of this Movie -

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, 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 about 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 hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you, no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son and you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life.
