Rocky and Mickey didn't have a "handshake relationship" at the beginning of the film. But when Rocky is no longer Gazzo's employee - when he walks toward the ring on the night of the big fight - Gazzo eagerly shakes Rocky's hand to wish him luck. But Gazzo patronizes him instead and almost conspicuously avoids shaking Rocky's hand - he chews Rocky out, he gives him money, he gently lectures him, but he doesn't shake his hand, even though each scene shows them talking, then departing. The first three times, Gazzo has ample opportunity to shake Rocky's hand. Rocky encounters Gazzo four times in the film.
#Scene from rocky balboa speech movie
The handshakes in this movie tell the story by themselves. It's a movie for everyone who has ever shaken someone's hand.
Men at peace with the world do not spit on it. It's a bad habit, of men unsure of themselves, of men who are restless, of men who need to do something and feel something. Spitting is a macho act, an anxious act, a violent act.
As he's heading out on his first date with Adrian, he spits right in front of her, even as he opens the gate for her (and then, when she hesitates, he goes through first himself). Mickey spits, and tells Rocky about a fight 50 years earlier where he had "spit shootin' out of my cheeks." The fighters rinse their mouths and spit, so much they need a spit bucket.īut the spittle that matters the most is projected by Rocky. One guy after another spits in this movie. It's a movie for everyone who has ever wanted to go for a run at 4 a.m. It's a movie for everyone who has ever spit. To pay the rent on his tiny row-house apartment, Rocky breaks bones for Gazzo, whom Rocky's cheap, second-rate trainer, Mickey, calls a "cheap, second-rate loan shark." When he loses, he makes barely enough to buy turtle food. In his heart, he's a boxer - but only a club fighter, a "ham-and-egger." When he wins, he nets $40.55. He loves the job where others hurt him, and he hates the one where he hurts others. When the movie opens, Rocky Balboa has two gigs: he fights people, and he hurts people.
