00:00Rocky is the story of a second-rate boxer who is given a chance at the world championship title.

00:05But Rocky is above all the story of a loser who will have a chance to regain his self-esteem.

00:10A moral victory.

00:11Proof that anything is possible, and that even at the lowest point, you can reach the top.

00:15This is a quick summary of what the ideology of the American dream is.

00:19And that's what Rocky represents, in an era where pessimism prevails.

00:23Charles Manson, Vietnam, Watergate.

00:25In the 1970s, America was hurting, no longer believed in itself, and showed this particularly in cinema.

00:31But in 1976, a glimmer of hope appeared.

00:34I'm talking about Rocky, of course.

00:36Sylvester Stallone's masterpiece.

00:39The cornerstone of his work.

00:40Writing himself, the ultimate protagonist.

00:42A genuinely good guy who cares about others.

00:44And which unfolds in a film where the values of determination, respect, and courage prevail.

00:50Everyone is alone here.

00:51Rocky is alone.

00:52Adrian is alone.

00:53Mickey is alone.

00:54Polly is alone.

00:55Even Apollo, despite being well surrounded, is alone, trapped in his megalomania.

01:00He will go looking for Rocky for what he represents.

01:02Like a symbol.

01:03Without ever taking it seriously.

01:05But for Rocky, it's not a show.

01:07This is the fight of his life.

01:08Even if no one realizes it.

01:10This scene illustrates it well.

01:12The determination of a man who has nothing to lose.

01:14Hidden by a group of executives and advertisers.

01:16Who continue to overshadow the true values of ordinary America.

01:19Until the final battle.

01:20Where Rocky can finally express himself.

01:23To express one's burning desire to win.

01:24And to go the distance.

01:25Because that's where the real battle is taking place.

01:27To prove to the world that he was not chosen for nothing.

01:30He's more than just the local loser.

01:31And that's what he will confess to Adrian in a scene that Stallone considers to be the soul of the film.

01:35A scene that the crew didn't want to film.

01:37Until Stallone convinced them that he could shoot the scene in one take.

01:40And he will do it without forcing it.

01:42Because Rocky is him.

01:43This fight is Stallone's fight.

01:45And the young actor also has to prove himself.

01:47And to go the distance.

01:48He will last 15 rounds against the world champion.

01:51He will not knock out his opponent.

01:53But he will not fall.

01:54And for Rocky, it's a victory.

01:56Because the important thing is not to hit.

01:58But to cash in.

01:59And to get back up.

02:00The shone bell.

02:01And from that point on, Rocky is no longer a loser.

02:03And most importantly, he is no longer alone.

02:04No one is alone at that moment.

02:06He loses, yes.

02:07But he doesn't care.

02:09Because for him, that was the real victory.

02:11She's here.

02:14This first Rocky film exudes genuine sincerity.

02:16Probably because it was conceived by a man who, like Rocky, does everything he can to escape poverty.

02:20The film also demonstrates innovation.

02:22Being one of the first to use the stedicam.

02:24Particularly during the training montage.

02:26Which is enhanced by Bill Conti's composition.

02:29Which I will not insult you by introducing you to.

02:31The fight itself is divinely well choreographed.

02:33Stallone will write it as he goes along.

02:35Right, left, right, left.

02:37Over 32 pages.

02:39And the energy of the superb Carl Weathers will elevate the confrontation.

02:43The film has the 7th best return on investment in the history of cinema.

02:47$225 million in revenue.

02:49Oscar for best editing, best director and best picture.
