How Rocky Became Hollywood's Greatest Loser
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 січ 2023
- Ever since 1976 Rocky Balboa has been a household name. The film burst onto the scene during one of Hollywood's most nihilistic eras and laid the tone a brighter future in storytelling.
Rocky would see 5 sequels in the years to come and launched the Creed franchise which is going strong with Creed 3 coming in just a couple months.
In this video we look back over the first Rocky film, telling the story behind it so we can better understand its lasting impact.

I just found your channel because of your Survival Horror Video, and i gotta say you really nail your Videos they’re are great! I love the atmosphere and the style, usually i don’t enjoy videos where someone sits there talking but there’s something special about you and the way you talk, and how you use music and the atmosphere. You perfectly catch the vibe of the whole theme with all elements provided! Keep up the great work!
Wow thanks so much for saying that! I appreciate comments like this and its very motivational!
@@OpticLureProductions you’re welcome Buddy, can’t wait for new Videos!
This was my grandfather's favorite movie, never got to really meet him but I always feel like I can watch this and be reminded of him.
He had great taste!
Your Survival-Horror video was recommended to me, this is now your 3rd video I've watched in a row.
Guess I really like the way you talk 😆
Lol thats good!
I love your deep take on this iconic movie. Excellent job.
Thank you!
Rocky is among my all-time favorite films. I remember the great debate during the 'Stallone-Schwarznegger' early 90s heyday - everyone kept asking who was the better action star. I always felt it was Stallone. He wasn't just an action star, but also a talented and adaptive man who had a great sense of intuition when it came to storytelling and characters. Cop Land is another film I love from him - the character build-up and sense of timing (especially during the climax) is incredible there.
YES! As well as the first Rambo film and how it dealt with ptsd. He was always doing more cerebral action
love the content, dont feel discouraged due to low views. you'll make it big!
Hey man, just gotta say I really enjoy your content. I started watching after the Resident Evil video, and the way you carried yourself and built an atmosphere was great. I know it's hard building a channel, but if you keep it up, I'm sure you'll get there!
Hey Thanks Ethan!! Yeah its not easy but I do plan on releasing a new video every two weeks and we'll just have to see where it goes. Hopefully I get there...thanks again for watching, I appreciate your support!
Awesome video! I remember watching Rocky with my sister when I was in my teens. It took me by surprise when Rocky lost in the movie. But I didn't realize at the time that Rocky has already won. Keep up the good work! Love seeing your videos!
Thanks! I appreciate your time watching!
Got "Optic" lured here ;) after thinking your RE video was an Ink Ribbon video, and I was pleasantly surprised! Your calm and professional demeanor remind of of some of my favorite documentary filmmaker's! Keep doing what you are doing man! You have a great format, and great production value for a small UA-cam channel, you're gonna go places! And I'll be watching!
Ah thanks so much man! I really appreciate you saying that!
Great review. I love your take on this iconic movie
So glad to see you upload again this soon.
Rocky movies are great. Recently my brother started watching them and I just sat down and joined them.
Rocky's theme song is legit one of the most hype, uplifting pieces of music I've ever heard, seriously.
I enjoyed both Creed movies and I'll watch the third, looks great. But I genuinely understand the frustration Balboa has now that the franchise was kinda taken away from him...
Yeah Rocky was huge for me when I was a teenager and remains a big inspiration in my life even today.
Thanks for watching and I should have new video every other Saturday assuming nothing wild happens with my work schedule!
@@OpticLureProductions Hopefully the algorithm continues to help.
I always find it frustrating how some videos hit big but people don't subscribe. Either way, I'll be tuning in and leaving a like consistently. 🤝🏻
@@MrFrankcap Thanks a ton!!
Great video
Thanks!
Nice video! Really interesting, never knew about the truth of why the movie was made.
Thank you!
Rewatched this more than 5 times the way you assed it gave me goose bumps due to its correlation with my current experience
Glad the message is hitting home for you! We all need a reminder sometimes. Good luck and stay on the right path
wao nice art👍stay connect
Keep them coming.
Yo Adrian! Love Rocky. My aunt from the Philly area used to tell me about how everyone there loved the movie when it came out. She went and saw it multiple times. I am a bit younger so my first time seeing Rocky 1 wasn't until the mid 2000's. I have this weird nostalgic urge feeling that makes me wish I could've lived in that type of era/setting. So many values and lessons can be learned from Rocky. I still draw on this movie for motivation almost daily. I'm currently going through a bit of a career change with a huge mountain to climb and man that iconic quote from the 2006 reboot gives me just what I need to keep punching. Great vid man. What's your opinion on the Creed series? I know Stallone has issues with the new one coming out, I think they canned him or something based on what I see on his IG, he wasn't happy about whatever happened. I found them good but I always kind of felt like something was missing.
Oh yeah Rocky is such a hometown hero of Philly, I could only imagine the hype when it came out, the city even gave Rocky his own statue lol.
I head about the stuff with Creed but not sure how to feel about it, I like you never found the franchise having the same charm of the Rocky films. But in a way its cool that a newer generation gets their own version of Rocky and they can always go back and watch the originals which really hold up even today.
@@OpticLureProductions That's a great point. Now that I think about it, I guess I feel the same way about the later Rocky sequels as I do the Creed sequels. I prefer the first movie of each, as is usually the case with any movie sequels for me personally.
@@IEagles702 Yeah the first Creed was great!
great content. Keep it op ;)
Thanks! I certainly plan too!
I would love too see more videos about gaming, also your production in your videos are AMAZING
Thank you the next one will be gaming, ever played Shenmue?
Ill switch between movies, games, and maybe other things in the future.
Great video. Very well narrated.
Glad you liked it!
America was so much more grownup in the ‘70s. Not just as adults, but as kids. Listen to interviews with young people from the time. They can actually articulate a thought without absurd analogies or a hundred “likes.” But like, with all things, the pendulum swung too far in one direction and then super surprisingly that pendulum is still swinging.
3 and 4 got a tad schlocky with 80's culture, but through the entire series carrying through the Creed movies Rocky has a pretty consistent arc of development that isn't paralleled by many series. Not only him, but Adrian as well.
Yeah its great....I love them all
Excellent video, really enjoyed.
Great video keep it up
Thanks!
I love the way you talk and convey things, its very calming, i hope your channel gains alot more traction, youre great at this
Thanks so much, Im trying!
he doesn't lose. ultimately it's a love story. he wins the girl. he wins in life. those are the wins that count. that's the point. that's why he has to lose the match to prove that point. and that's why nobody remembers he actually lost the match.
I'm only at 30 seconds so I'm hoping to see that you got the point. Else it's a bit of a let down.
edit: you nailed it.
Lol yeah one of my favorite films of all time
ur doing a good job w ur channel, enjoy the content, but you should try to record the audio in a setting with a bit less reverberation!!! anyway keep it up!!!
Yeah I dont know what happened this time around. I tried a new mic....did you notice any in my last video?
@@OpticLureProductions yeah the last one was much better, I like the set up you got In the room. Maybe try getting a rug, they can dampen sound a bit. Idk I'm no expert I just think having good audio goes a long way to making vids seem hq. Your editing and narration is already great
For sure it does. I filmed this one in the same room just used a different mic. Imma go back to the old mic for my next vid
Rocky part 1 is amazing. The studio did whore it out later but you Gotta love the first one.
will you be uploading again soon?
great timing I just finally shot my next video last night. Its a bigger one so the edit might take a week or two.
I had a bunch of shit happen to me since this last upload and finally things are good again so im back! Thanks!
@@OpticLureProductions that's great to hear, waiting on the next production
