Review of Rocky (1976) by Jim S — 17 May 2018
Nevermind that Paulie is a raging alcoholic and nobody seems to care enough to even point it out, much less get him the help that he needs. - or that Adrian suffers from crippling social anxiety, only to find herself cured and a strikingly normal person just scenes into the movie.
Nevermind that Rocky is a nice/honest person with a passion for animals, yet maintains an unscrupulous job out of unapparent necessity. - Or that his bloodthirsty Loan Shark boss actually seems like a pretty swell guy.
.......Or that his first date with Adrian looked like highlights from a #Metoo incident. It's not about any of that. It's about a blue collar American finding an opportunity. A true underdog story - One that we can all appreciate.
