Rocky Inspiration

Rocky 



Even though Rocky takes a different approach to masculinity, we still really liked some of the shots and landscapes used throughout the film, in the above clip especially. Similar to our trailer, social realism is used to enhance ideas about masculinity. As well as this, water is used as a motif throughout the film, however, in this approach to prove the naivety of the masculine symbol in society.


We are interested in using the boxing gloves as a symbol of masculinity much like in this film, however, in contrast to this film, we want one simple shot of them to make it as effective as possible. We also loved the shot of the camera following Rocky whilst he is doing sit ups which highlights the strength of his body, as well as the obvious sweat on his shirt. Although, it takes the complete opposite approach in this film, there are still many aspects we enjoyed and were inspired by.
