Rocky

Rocky is a very classic film that is been popular for a long time. While watching this again I really didn't understand how important the sound was until I paid attention to it. One example of the use of diegetic sound when he is training. When Rocky is alone while working out you can tell because of the sound that he is very concentrated focused, because all you hear is his heavy breathing and the sound him punching a punching bag. Another example for a non-diegetic sound is like having a conversation with somebody who is in the other room. You cannot see them but you can hear them clearly. Another example I've never thought of is talking on the phone. You can hear what they're saying but sometimes you are not able to see the caller.

Offscreen sound in the film Rocky, I think it great example would be the audience during the fight. Without that sound it doesn't take you too where the director wants you to go which is the fight. I believe it completes the feeling that someone is there. 

What I took away from the meaning, was you have to work hard for something that you want. Nothing is going to be given to you easy and anything you want life you have to work hard for it. 

However, I am pretty stumped on why this film was so embraced when it was released. I believe it had a good storyline to it. Also because the story was not that Long ago in the past. It was a story that had hope.

Some of the save the cat moments when we find out that the crotchety old boxing coach was he able to get one last chance of glory, another example as we find out the gangster boss is a very nice guy, and a finish it off, Rocky loses his fight and you feel closer to him because he is at a weak Time.
