勇者無懼Rocky Balboa (2006) 不敗的英雄

對中年後來說，人生走了一回，結了婚有了小孩有了事業，卻又妻離子散，事業敗盡，這時候，人生的奮鬥為何? 這就是洛基-一個過氣運動員的故事。

本片劇情雖然老套，席維斯史特龍的電影感不錯，色彩用的很大膽，前三分之一都是黑色寂靜。隨著主角對人生的省悟，跟男女主角的關係的進展，畫面又大放光明。最後決戰時，影像轉為漫畫般的風格，黑白配上鮮艷的血色，令人想到萬惡城市sin city(2005)。

雖然不賣弄複雜的影像比喻，但卻不乏簡明的寓意，例如開場的墓園跟紅玫瑰。昏暗的街頭，連帽夾克的隱藏性格，老狗的比喻，死豬肉配合被格職，父子母子間的感情等。

劇情可以簡單的說成: 前半段是過氣運動員寫實的描述，後半段是漫畫式的無敵英雄氣概。結局是現實跟理想妥協下成功的自我定義。

整體劇情漏洞不少，像是洛基為何而戰的理由就有點說不清，不過既然大家都預設他非戰不可，也就無關緊要了。

出場人物的比想像的多，安排算是有巧思，表面上不相關，實際上是描繪一群中年過後，老人未滿的心態，表達如何面對人生的下坡，是可以接受，或是重新找到意義，其中豬肉朋友被革職一段，也算加強了非戰不可的意義。

自己不敗跟打敗對手之間:洛基的結局
我認為本片的結局安排的不錯，在勝敗兩難的安排中找到了第三條路，自己定義的勝利，而非表象的輸贏。就算輸了，可是達到自我實現，也是一種勝利，這種勝利，對後中年特別有說服力。

席維斯史特龍已經跟Rocky本身的形象結合，問Rocky為什麼再戰，就像是問史特龍為什麼堅持要再拍這一片一樣，有過輝煌的過去，為什麼還要在時不我與時，挑戰不可能呢?席維斯史特龍用這片回答了這個問題。

從頭看到尾，我認為真正的結尾就是Rocky留下的傳奇。片尾字幕播放的同時，影片的一角也出現幾個人普通人跑到費城博物館的台階上，模仿電影Rocky在上面練拳的錄影紀錄。我想，這才是史特龍自己追尋的成功ㄅ。

給台灣電影的啟示

台灣過氣的運動明星不少，他們的最後一戰在哪，何時才有人把他們的故事搬上大螢幕呢?

誰適合看洛基?

喜歡勵志片，需要人家當頭棒喝的。

洛基或史特龍的影迷更是非看不可。本片是標準的勵志片，對需要有人當面傳達這種正向的精神的人，看這片應該很有勵志作用，而且暴力不多，只依劇情所需集中在後半段，就算不喜歡看打鬥跟見血的應該同樣可以再前三分之二得到滿足。

附上電影經典場景費城博物館的台階，勇敢的你，想當洛基的你就勇敢的站上去吧!

佳句摘要:

最後引用IMDB摘錄的對話，這是洛基在片中透過和兒子互動說出的大道理。
Rocky Balboa: You ain't gonna believe this, but you used to fit right here.

[taps on the inside of his hand]

Rocky Balboa: I'd hold you up to say to your mother, "this kid's gonna be the best kid in the world. This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew." And you grew up good and wonderful. It was great just watching you, every day was like a privilige. Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son and you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain't gonna have a life. Don't forget to visit your mother.

好像所有的影評都喜歡引用這段承受理論，這裡有中英對照的。

我自己是覺得說這段之前的:
[But somewhere along the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow.]

也不錯，這種怪罪別人的心態跟 American History X中的一段有些類似。

在這段承受理論最後的幾句，鼓吹不滿意，就要行動，並以親情作為後盾讓親人無後顧之憂，更令人感動:
[Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! I'm always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son and you're my blood. You're the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain't gonna have a life. Don't forget to visit your mother. ]
