637 Creed

The legendary Rocky has come back with a brand-new hero, Adonis, a son of Apollo Creed. I don't say I'm a huge fan of Rocky movies nor boxing movies, but I cannot help finding this as one of very important films of recent years.The heavyweight champion,  Apollo had a son who, regardless of his smart job as a banker and his wealthy and quiet life, decided all he wanted was to be a boxer. He had never met his own father Apollo, and he asked Rocky to train him. Young Adonis and old Rocky gradually learned to trust each other, help each other, share the joy of life and became a father-and-son-like relationship.  

The interesting thing in this remarkable film is that the genetic similarity between Apollo and Adonis is not told so much. His instinct and his DNA was brought by his Apollo but it was collaborative effort of Adonis and Rocky that finally identified Adonis as a boxer and made him a true heir to the champion. Rocky is like a foster father to him and in turn he gives back Rocky a power to fight again. Apollo, his own father, is like a guardian angel who urged him to become a boxer with leaving everything behind, and it turns out that the vision of real father has been lying in his deepest mind.
