I had no high expectations before watching Rocky, actually we could say that I had some preconceptions about it, being a gen z girl, but man, was I wrong!
This movie kept my attention high from start to finish, and got me to keep thriving for the protagonist, impersonated by an amazing Silvester Stallone. Rocky, as I found, is not the stereotypical macho figure you might think: even though he is a boxer with the classic ''tough guy" look, he often shows his most sensitive and fragile sides, which makes him a role model in many ways. I really liked the way they developed his love story with Adriana, because this side storyline was made almost as important as the main one, creating some balance and avoiding making it an action movie.
Even though the movie came out in 1976 it is still perfectly enjoyable and the values it conveys are still relevant to our society nowadays, which to me makes it a timeless classic.
