I love you Rock. You're the man I try to be. A great inspiration to others. Thank you for making this movie Sly. I've struggled in life, like you/Rock struggled in the ring. I too have lost everyone. I share his pain. I'm 54, still young but old enough to know, it's all over for me. I am not a religious man. So I don't and won't lean on God for help. Instead I curse it for the pain it gave me for all of these years because I kept moving forward.. I took the pain. I got back up. But I gain absolutely nothing from any of the battles, struggles, heartbreaks, or losses. Today, I live alone. No children. No love. And probably going to lose all I have because I cannot fight anymore. So I wonder where I'll be soon. Hopefully like you, I'll make it. You're a Hellova guy. Hellova friend. And Hellova father. Everyone's proud of you. I hope I see you wherever we're going when we all get there at the end. 😇 🥊🥊
Every time I see this, always think about my Mom and I lost her almost 19 years ago in which tomorrow is the day I lost her in a car accident in front of me and I have to live with it every day.
Nothing in this world hits you harder than life itself; but on the other side of things, it's the people you meet along the way, for both good and bad makes the journey of life kind of something to look forward to; and that's coming from someone who has kissed his youthful years behind (and I know that there are some people who would say being in your very early forties is still considered being "young" so I technically shouldn't be saying anything, but still if I think about it in the next eight years from now I would be fifty years old; which again whether you think that is a good thing or a bad thing, being alive for half a century would be quite a milestone). So I guess my point would be even if life beats you down at your lowest points; there is always going to be someone somewhere to give you that little bit of encouragement to solider through no matter what life throws at you. "It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you get hit, and keep getting back up." Rocky Balboa.
I wish I had a friend like Rocky. I lost so much of my life and all I have left is my dad my sister and I had a disagreement if she hasn't talked to me in a year. She was my best friend my whole life
What's age got to do with emotion? That's a massive part of the problem in this day. People having to share their age or stage of life and not how they truly feel. It's pathetic and sad. Hope you figure it out. Take care.
Given Rocky’s arc with his family throughout the first two creed movies apart of me thinks that right before giving Spider a eulogy of sorts he looked around and thought that this might be what happens once he’s gone.
Spider Rico Became a Priest and Found God…..as we saw in Rocky Balboa! So he was Definitely in a Better Place after he passed………This Scene should have been in the film!! 🫵🏽💯
I still remember when Airplane II had a poster in the background of Rocky 34. It was funny because at the time movies with 3 parts was rare. It showed Rocky as an old skinny man. To be honest, I would have definitely watched all 34 😭😭😭
The worst part about being young and seeing icons in their prime when you're a little kid is that wow factor never disappears when you grow up. You still remember Rocky, Spider and Apollo when your parents and your aunts and uncles and grandparents are telling you all about these characters they loved since before you were born. That magic doesn't disappear even when the actors who brought that magic to life get old and sometimes they can't bring that same magic anymore before they disappear. It hurts a lot more when they still do have that power up until the bitter end. Thanks for everything, Carl. Rest in power.
