Fatherhood has been Rocky Balboa’s toughest rival
The franchise of Rocky Balboa It is a true cinematic triumph and a classic for lovers of cinema and sports cinema. However, this saga not only stands out for the events that take place in the ring, it also shines for its human, tormented and emotional characters, and especially the protagonist, Rocky.
Although the series has certain touching aspects, one of the weakest points of this story is the twisted and stormy relationship between Rocky and his son. Robert Balboa Jr. The latest installment in the saga seemed to show a rapprochement between the two. But subsequent films have ignored them, and their link has progressively blurred. Increasingly.
Despite the fact that the character played by Stallone has had countless triumphs and successes against the best fighters in the world, Rocky was never able to win his own battle: Being a good father. The difficulties in establishing an emotional bond with his son were evident in ‘Rocky V’, when he chose to train another fighter to the detriment of himself.
After defeating Ivan Drago in Rocky IV, Rocky returns home to the United States and hits a financial slump that leaves him an invalid. To make matters worse, he begins training Tommy Gunn, a boxing upstart, impersonating his relationship with his son, Robert. Without his father’s supervision, Robert hangs out with the wrong crowd.
Rocky realizes this and tries to re-establish his connection with his son. The sixth film in the saga was intended to be the end of this story, where Robert tried to get away from his father, even embarrassed. However, in the end, Robert joins his father in supporting him in his last fight against Mason “The Line” Dixon.
The complex relationship between Rocky Balboa and his son
Although it seemed at some point a certain reconciliation was going to take place, the ‘Creed’ saga makes it clear that the relationship between father and son has completely disintegrated.
Rocky was never the most socially astute or witty, a characteristic that is evident in his romance and his relationship with the rest of the world. Probably the early death of his own father made it more difficult for her to play the same role with his son. Being an emotionally present parent.
We could say that of all Rocky’s rivals, fatherhood was the most difficult rival and his null connection with his son Robert is good proof of this.
