Nominations: Best Actor (Sylvester Stallone), Actress (Talia Shire), Supp.
Pre-release certification of triumph along with a barrage of favorable expert opinion is not unlike playing with fire.
Better to let the smoggy fairy tale run its course and allow general audience patrons their own unique word of mouth propulsion. To repeat, best not to dwell on the film. However, Avildsen is noted for creating such ambiguities. Then there are occasional flashes that the film may be patronizing the lower end of the blue-collar mentality, as much if not more than the characters who keep putting Rocky down on the screen. Fact that Rocky gets his big chance from cynical schemers–with a black public hero as the instigator–rests uneasily at moments. While art by definition must trigger certain emotional responses, occasionally there’s too-obvious a feeling of really being manipulated and stroked. It is also possible to buy 'Rocky' on Apple iTunes, Google Play Movies, Vudu.
#Rocky 1976 full movie movie
Avildsen Director of the movie Rocky with cast TSylvester Stallone, Talia Shire and Burt Young. Performances, direction and production all contribute importantly. Plot Outline / Introduction / Synopsis: Rocky (1976) :John G. The story-telling pace justifies nicely its 119-minute length. In the climactic (and cinematically powerful) fight sequence, Rocky goes the whole route to an exciting fadeout draw which is reminiscent of the climax of Robert Aldrich’s “The Longest Yard” two years ago.Įn route all this, Stallone brings out the best in Shire, exposes the worst in Young and generally gets his life together. To everyone’s surprise, Rocky trains arduously.
#Rocky 1976 full movie professional
Fight promoter Thayer David (remembered so well as the professional and moral arsonist in Avildsen’s “Save the Tiger”) puts the machinery in motion.
Rocky would have remained in this rut, had not heavyweight champ Carl Weathers come up with the Bicentennial gimmick of fighting a sure-ringer, thereby certifying the American Dream for public consumption. Even Jodi Letizia, latent teenage tramp, has contempt for him. Stallone’s title character is that of a near-loser, a punchy reject scorned by gym owner Burgess Meredith, patronized by local loan shark Joe Spinell (for whom Stallone is too-sympathetic a strong-arm collection agent), rebuffed by plain-Jane Talia Shire whose brother, Burt Young, keeps engineering a romantic match.
