.. Rocky for the last time .. saw Rocky Balboa, the sixth (and the last) in the Rocky series.
Stallone at his vintage best .. he is old ... but plays the part with a panache. Portrays the part of a fighter fighting with his own demons.
And then he decides to fight them out the very last time .. the fight scenes are a bit muted .. the training sequence duller than usual, but what shines is belief in himself and his strength of knowing when to listen to his own heart with conviction. Enough conviction to beat some sense (verbally .. no punches here) into his son. And then there is the woman (isn't there one behind every successful man .. or in this case every successful Rocky) it was Adrianne before and this time around happens to be Marie. Marie, an old friend who he bumps into, is the turning point in his life .. giving him the push ... the push needed over those crucial moments that one feels a little unconfident and which only a woman who really loves you can give you.
Nice play of emotions between the son and father, Marie and Rocky, Steps and Rocky ...
Even though he doesn't win the bout, he wins the bout !!!
An interesting watch.
