When you hear the words "Yo Adrian" what comes to mind? Jogging down the street in heather grey sweatpants and a sweat band? Or maybe you feel like holding the American flag over you head as a Russian stands in defeat? Whatever comes to mind we can all agree that Rocky Balboa is just about every red blooded Americans hero. In these movies we learn about coming from nothing earning what seems to be rightly yours and right when we think everything is figured out things begin to happen and it starts to look like you life is falling apart right in front of you eyes.In Rocky III he looses a great friend and that unstoppable feeling as he gets defeated after a long winning streak. Just when all seems to be lost he has people that believe in him, fear may be trying to take over but in the end he learns that every fight he's won was rightly his.Rocky IIII comes a very big loss as Apollo Creed dies fighting what seems to be an unhuman Russian.Rocky definitely shows character and will power every American needs. All in All everyone should sit down and watch these films and try and not live a better life after your done.
