Throughout the series, amid the ups and downs, Rocky himself remains unimpeachable. We forgive even the most saccharine scenes because of how much we believe in Rocky and identify with him. We see him mature and age, rise and fall, but the man himself never really changes.ĭuring a recent binge-watch of the entire series, a number of themes and traits rose to the surface. Realizing how stringently Stallone adheres to those principles makes the series as a whole greater than the sum of its parts and crystallizes Rocky’s appeal.

SCRIPT OF ROCKY BALBOA SPEECH TO SON SERIES * He’s both patriotic and religious, but not preachy.

When working as muscle for a loan shark, he doesn’t have the heart to hurt the guy he’s supposed to, and even as a boxer he can’t bring himself to play tough guy with his opponents and the media. He accepts people who are different than him even if he doesn’t understand them. He visits Adrian’s grave every single day after she dies and stands by Paulie for life even though Paulie is terrible.
