The Cold War was a time of hatred, animosity, and lots of speculation between the United States and the Soviet Union. This time in history was focused on advancement, strength, and perseverance of either the Communist system or the Capitalist system, depending on what side of the world that you are on.

Both Rocky and its successor Creed are stories about an underdog boxer getting a match at a championship bout, and although they are made by different directors (John G. Avildsen and Ryan Coogler respectively) they share many similarities, much of them due to the fact that Creed was meant to be a successor or spin off about Adonis Creed, whose father was the legendary Apollo Creed, Rocky’s first major opponent and soon after longtime friend.

for you to do, because you may not find work again. James J. Braddock, who is the main character in Cinderella Man, knows the struggle of the Great Depression, and how he did not take any chance for granted.

The purpose of these two films were to show social class disparity. Through hard work and a bit of fortune, anyone can make it in the United States, as portrayed

"Rocky" is a 1976 sports drama film directed by John G. Avildsen and written by Sylvester Stallone (Details, M. M. 2015), who also stars in the lead role. The movie follows Rocky Balboa, a struggling Italian-American boxer working as a debt collector in Philadelphia. His life takes a remarkable turn when he is offered a once-in-a-lifetime shot at the world heavyweight championship against Apollo Creed, the reigning champion. Throughout the film, Rocky undergoes rigorous training, forming a close

extravagant displays both inside and outside of the ring. However, this showmanship can sometimes clash with his responsibilities as a champion. In the first Rocky film, Apollo was criticized for his showmanship and for underestimating his opponent, Rocky Balboa. He had planned an elaborate entrance and had not taken Rocky's abilities seriously. As a result, the match was much closer than he had anticipated, and he suffered an injury that affected his future matches. This experience taught Apollo the importance

hit you can give... it's about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward.” (Stallone) Rocky Balboa uses this as motivation in the motion picture Rocky. This film depicts the misconception that many people have about the American dream. The illusion of the American dream is the impulsion that writer and actor, Sylvestor Stallone, had when producing his movie.

Too many times blockbuster films forget the struggle behind reaching your dreams. “Creed” directed by Ryan Coogler highlights significant themes such as family relationships, discipline, determination, courage and dedication; making us root for the underdog. Before the main character Adonis becomes a household name, he’s bounced around juvenile detention centres and fights a mountain of self-doubt. While that may not exactly mirror many of our lives, it does showcase a realistic and imperfect lead

fight because another kid talks about his mother. Eventually, he finds out his father is Apollo Creed, a famous fighter who fought Rocky Balboa and died because of it. By this point, he is conflicted about how he feels about his father because he was an embarrassment born from his father’s infidelity.

IV was produced in the year of 1985 and directed by Sylvester Stallone, who also plays the main character, Rocky Balboa, along with Dolph Lundgren and Carl Weathers.

love going to the park therefore, I chose my neighborhood park (Wynten Way Park) to observe as a childhood space.
