English Log 3, Rocky Balboa (again)

... by today I've seen part I, II and VI of Rocky Balboa. All of them very nice films, some action but also some story.
The main difference between Rocky and other boxing movies is, that it is not exclusively about the sport but also about Rocky's life. It is the story of a 30 year old man living the American dream. A poor man who is always aware of his roots or at least some people remind him of his roots. It is impossible for him to be part of high society, to be part of the rich people - he doesn't care enough for their goals. Rocky is what I would call a "good" person. He gives advice to people he meets (e.g. little Marie - for those of you who have seen the movie), he can't follow the orders of the mafia he's working for properly, he gives his best in trying other things than fighting because of his wife and health asking him for it.

Very soon you'll get another update on Rocky III!
