Film 101/365, Day 107/365 – Rocky

A real feel good underdog film.  What can you say about Rocky?  He’s the lovable loser who everyone wants to win, to get the girl and to turn his life around.   But it’s not just about that, there are plenty of montages to enjoy as Rocky focuses on training in preparation for the fight of his life.  Surely everyone has seen this film, haven’t they?

Synopsis: Apollo Creed, the reigning heavyweight boxing champion of the world, needs an opponent.  His original opponent has broken a bone and cannot fight and with only five weeks to train he can’t find a professional to take his place.  Enter Rocky Balboa, the Italian Stallion, an amateur boxer selected by Apollo because of his nickname finally has his shot at the top prize.
