PATREON: www.patreon.com/storystreet INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/storystreets/ Engagement Question(s): What's your favorite movie in the Rocky franchise and what's your favorite fight in the Rocky franchise? For me, my favorite movie in the franchise is Creed (with the original Rocky a very close second), and my favorite fight is probably a tie between the Rocky vs. Apollo fight in Rocky 2 and Adonis vs. Damien in Creed 3. And as always, thanks for watching the video! I hope it meant something to you.
This video is amazing! I love your style of thematic deconstruction and the way you transition from topic to topic while still finding thematic relevance. You're an inspiration to me both as a writer and as a person looking to find the art in life genuinely Off topic but would you ever consider making a video on The Last of Us Part 2?
@@gregheffley1727 Firstly, thank you so much for those incredibly kind words. And secondly, dude, you have no idea how much I would love to make a video about The Last of Us Part 2. Over time, it's not only become my favorite game of all time but perhaps my favorite story ever told in any medium. I adore it and have been planning on a video since 2020 when it came out. But it's such a huge game that I have so much to say about and there's also some other plans I have for it that make the project even bigger. And since I can't guarantee it'll get a million views immediately, I just can't justify disappearing for 3-6 months to make it, especially not right now while I'm trying to resuscitate the channel. Definitely trying to find a way to do it as soon as possible, though!
@@StoryStreet That's awesome! I recently got into the whole story of the Last of Us with the new HBO show and all of the new UA-cam videos and when I got to part 2 everything I saw was so negative, but the game made some of the most unorthodox and thematic decisions I have ever seen in storytelling in any medium, and it's one of the first times where I think a lot of the hate towards the game is more of a flaw with the way that we view art rather than the quality of the art itself. Anyways, yes I would absolutely love to see your analysis of the story, but I'm perfectly ready to wait however long for it. I'm a lifelong fan anyways. LOVE YOUR WORK!!
I really wish you hadn't brought up how you feel Million Dollar Baby is depicting "disability as a death sentence." It's not, and no reasonable person would think that it is. For this one specific person, she would rather die than live like that, and the film does an excellent job of explaining why that is (for instance you left out her awful family, but they show that she has no other life to go back to but misery with them using her), but the film in no way suggests this as a prescriptive judgement for ALL disabled people, and I think you're way out of line for even suggesting that it does.
You're making it great Alex, you're an inspiration for me, thanks to you I've improved as a person and I really really hope one day this channel receives the acknowledge it deserves Just hold on a little longer man 💖
12 year old me labeled it as the best movie of all time and having rewatched it for this video, I can say that it holds up remarkably well for what it is.
Yeah, I vividly remember kids like you. Used to know a kid that thought real steel was the best movie of all time. He was also the kid that picked his nose and pissed his bed until he was 14. I know your type
As a boxer, I appreciate that creatives usually seem to tap into the fact that boxing is a great parallel for life when framed against a framework conflict and resolution. You made a great video touching on a few movies and their connection with conflict in life through boxing. Thanks a lot for a touching one.
As someone who grew up boxing and now pursuing MMA I love how creators and directors draw a line that connects life and boxing together. It's a lonely sport, your in the ring or octagon against not only yourself but against your opponent. Drawing lines to how in life it's not just you versus the conflicts and hardships that hit you in life, but it's you against your own emotions and mental state. What will you do to keep going? What and how will you grow past these struggles and conflicts and adjust, and most importantly keep living life?
Something I really liked about this movie was the background noise. Not the music, just the noise. You'll hear nurses talking in the background, conversations happening in the background, and the main characters speaking to background characters and people off screen responding. It really adds to the general atmosphere of the movie and really lets you sit in it. It makes the world feel so lived in.
This video really got to me. My dad and I really loved the Rocky and Creed movies, our love for them were of the few things we shared. He passed away last January and it just feels so surreal. This video helped me understand some things, like i'm starting to realize that he didn't just exist for me, because he really lived in pain due to a life of grief and regret, and his death was kind of a way for him to be set free of this pain. Since then I've been only focusing in the shadows instead of looking at the light, that life is still worth living for. To celebrate the memory of those who are gone trough my own life and see myself as not as a mistake but someone who deserves to be loved and be happy. And also to hug my mom more often. I believe my dad would've also loved Creed 3 too. Probably nobody will read all of this and also I need professional help and not to just rely on some UA-cam video, but i'll take it all, one round at a time. Thanks for this video friend, you have gained a subscriber for eternity, y'all keep fighting the good fight! :)
Sorry to hear about your dad, man. Didn't know your dad, but hope you follow you the example he set for you and life gets better. If Rocky and the sport of boxing has anything to teach it's that no matter how many times you get hit and knocked down, you push yourself back up and you keep fighting back.
Hey man, my dad loved rocky. He died of lung cancer before we got to sit down and watch Creed. Watching this, welling up, saw your comment. Wanted to tell you it gets better
I remember rolling my eyes when I heard they were making another film in the _Rocky_ franchise called _Creed_ . I wasn’t even going to go see it until word of mouth started getting around that it was surprisingly good so I took a chance with my $12, and I’m glad that I did. It became one of my favorite films of 2015 and to be honest, I’ve enjoyed the other two Creed films as well. They’ve done a great job of with the new direction they’ve taken this franchise in. Sorry for the tl;dr. Great video, BTW.
Funny, as a Rocky fan I was completely onboard since seeing the first trailer. It was one of those follow up series I didn't know I wanted and now love to bits, not a character out of place.
Thank you for this beautiful essay. I love the Rocky films, but Creed, the first film, is a masterpiece. I find inspiration in it again and again. Ryan Coogler's humanity shines through in each of his films.
GOOD JOB!! Million Dollar Baby is in my top 20 of all time favorites as a filmhead who watches films as far back as the mid 40's. The commentary on the shadows is on point because even I was thinking it wasn't just a touch, it was prominent use enough to consider some of these boxing movies fit for a Neo-noir category , especially by the time we get to Dame Anderson. Several similarities between Maggie and Dame, even though Donnie and Dame are only a few years apart, they did an excellent job of making him seem both old school and old and through him tackling Ageism.
What an incredibly moving, thoughtful essay! This is the first time I’ve come across your work, and I’m astonished at how you brought these different stories and truths and this genre into conversation with a movie that I love so, so, so much. Subscribed!
This is a fantastic analysis. Boxing is such a timeless capsule of storytelling and visceral violence and emotion. I'd only say Creed isn't the first time we've really seen Rocky digress from those masculine traits and show him in states of weakness. We've seen Rocky go through moments of relatable heartache and weakness in all the movies. Of the course, the execution is always up for debate, but Rocky has always had moments of humanity -- even if fleeting amongst his godly outings before Rocky Balboa. I think what's quite revolutionary for Creed and Rocky's locker scene is we've never seen Rocky This low. It also helps if you know Sylvester Stallone channeled the pain of losing his son into his performance and it easily becomes a top 3 Rocky character moment. Neverthless, it's nice to think of these movies as basically boxing soap operas for men, including the Creed movies haha
Just wish the 2nd film had this gritty look to it. Idk what it is, maybe the lighting but everything looks almost romanticized in the 2nd and 3rd film. The first one looked like I was actually in the stadium watching the fight in person.
@@hartfantom yeah no. It just lacks the quality from film to film after the first one. It lacks the realism that made it great. The sequels look cheap and bland compared to the love and care of the 1st one.
FUCKKKKK THIS IS THE ONE VIDEO I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR AND I HAVE LEGITIMATE ADULT RESPONSIBILITIES KEEPING ME FROM ABSORIBING ALL OF THIS, YOUR CONTENT IS TOO PERFECT I WILL COME BACK AND WATCH THIS IN ONE SITTING AND DESTROY MY POSTURE IRREPARABLY AND IT'S CUZ YOU DESERVE THAT
I have to disagree with the statement “none of the sequels” could live up to the original. Every film has their moments that touch the fans. Every film has something memorable. even the films that are technically not up to the standards of the first two rocky movies-rocky 3 and 4, ARE FAVORITES of many. I think rocky 2 came pretty close to equaled the original. And others may think rocky 2 is better than one. And there is a great review online somewhere where the reviewer commented that to him, rocky 6 was the TRUE sequel to rocky 1 But I LOVE how you reflected on creed- it was literally living up to a legend, that’s an underdog. How many spin-offs fail? Or sequels fail? (Cough cough Star Wars). But how many match and excel in thst hype? Not many. And creed to me cemented again that rocky, in the hands of ppl who care, will live on and that truly most of the series is special. ThTs something marvel movies, star wars, Harry Potter, lord of the rings/hobbit and so ms y big name franchises that have more money than rocky ever will have can’t say.
What an amazing work and perspective on Boxing in general. Very graceful, emotional, intimate and powerful. Awesome 👍 great content 🔥 I have just joined your channel ✅ we are connected now 👍
I legitimately think this might be my alltime favorite video from you, from the topic to the script to your delivery. Incredibly well done, thank you so much for this meal.
Amazing video. Not much more I can say. Great psychological breakdown behind Creed. Relating it to other movies like Billion Dollar Baby. This is definitely a rewatch and recommendation for anyone going through things such as issues with vulnerability, abandonment, etc.
Such an amazing video as always! I am always excited to see you post and I look forward to more. Hopefully this and other comments help the algorithm to pick this up.
Hey there, I randomly stumbled across this video and wanted to give you my sincerest thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I can imagine this took a lot of work and effort and you did it at a fantastic level. Keep up the great work man.
I honestly find the each creed movie better than any rocky film but I didn’t grow up with them. I’m sure if I had nostalgia for rocky it’d be different
It may be a stupid little thing, but I like the word in the miniature are behind Creed, in difference to all the others of your channel where the word is just put in front of everything It shows more quality and work
One of my favourite ever films! Great video,sir! (Except….flipping an image to avoid copyright issues…DOES NOOOOT and WILL NEVER work). It absolutely does not constitute transformativitynessnessism ✊🏼
I'm subscribe to alot of diffentes channelse. So sometimes it's hard to remember them all. So I took a chance and watch the video, and man it hite me. The part about being angry hite me, because I realised that I'm not sad, but angry at myself which is making me sad. That was yeasterday. Today I watched your video about everything everywhere about regret. Which inspired me to make this comment. To show that what you do has meaning. I don't know you, and you don't know me. But you still had an affect on me, so I hope I can affect you
Adonis Creed, isn’t really a true underdog story in my book….he lived pretty privileged. Lived in belair, worked in what appears to be a investing firm, got the girl, had rocky teach him to box….yea, he was in juvie and foster care, but only as a kid….personally I found Victor Drago the true underdog story in creed 2 and Damian in creed 3
I disagree with your statement there. Adonis Creed's beginnings were far from privilege. First of all, he was a product of Apollo Creed's affair. He is Apollo Creed's illegitimate son and he never got to know his father. He was raised in group homes where he was physically abused. Entangled in a world of frustration and anger. His life only started to get better once Apollo Creed's wife came to see him. Even though Adonis had somewhat a harsh confidence about himself, he had to seek Rocky in order to get the pride and strength and lose his fear of being a "fake Creed".
Jeez, Stallone got FLAT OUT ROBBED of the Oscar! And, yeah, I saw Mark Rylance’s Perfectly Boring performance in Bridge of Spies…Safe, dull…kind of lifeless…it still sucks
film therapy said it best. that this movie and the Rocky series as a whole (with the exception of Rocky V 🤮) is a perfect example of healthy masculinity
This video seems to suggest there is no real virtuous violence, as though self defense, or defense of another, or defense of a nation/principle etc. can never justify violence. I'm not sure I totally agree with this.
49:30 I dont think its a callus depiction of disability. A lot of people would rather die than be just stuck in a bed unable to truly live for the rest of their life. Because what is the point of a life where you cannot truly experience things or interact anymore?
