Im sure this speech has saved a life somewhere in the world.

Rocky isn't just talking to Robert, he's talking to us.

That speech got me sober. Over 5 years now I been clean.

One of the greatest scenes in film history, with one of the best monologues ever written, from one of the greatest actors ever.

The speech is brilliant - but it's the end when he speaks directly to his son by saying, "cowards do that, and that ain't you! You're better than that!" gets me every time

This scene was somehow able to hit harder than any punch thrown in the entire franchise.

“But Until you start believing yourself you’re not going to have a life”

I always come back to this Rocky motivation speech, I'm 26 years old now and this scene still give me chills due to how much I need to believe in what Rocky says

my father died years ago, and when I have a hard time at university I watch this video because Rocky reminds me a lot of my father. now that I am graduating, this video holds such a special place in my heart.

“Don’t forget to visit your mother”. Saddest line ever.

After 32 years of military service and seven university degrees, in 5 minutes, I learned more from this scene about life than any other movie, I cannot thank these actors enough.

This speech still brings tears to my eyes. 43 y/o man tearing up over rocky speech. Lol

Easily one of the best speeches/scenes in a movie ever.

Needed to come here after Carl Weather’s passing. He played a huge part in Rocky’s life and beyond!!!! #R.I.P.CarlWeathers💯 #Goat💯

As a son that’s had issues with my father this hit my more than a ton of bricks. Love your father fellas. Regardless of what’s he done or hasn’t done.

I love when Rocky raises his hand and says how his son used to fit in it, and the son rolls his eyes like what is the old man talking about… And then the power of that speech begins!

2:39 “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!” ~ Rocky

This speech is amazing because Sly truly made it on his own. He earned this speech

My dad sent me this If you read this comment, papa, then just know that it takes a wonderful man to be a friend, a father and a dad at the same time. And you are I 💙 u

There will always be people who see themselves as victims and blame others for their problems; and then there are people like Rocky, who take their own lives into their own hands, and fight. The latter are the winners, no matter whether they succeed or not, because they defeated the hardest opponent - themselves.

I cried when I saw this in the theater. My son got me the poster of this speech for Christmas a few years ago. On the wall in my home office. Now 62, I still cry when I see this scene. Rocky/Stallone epitomizes the human spirit. Thank you Rocky.

I listen to this speech whenever I feel negative about things in my life 👌

Rocky is right. No one will hit as hard as Life, but it how much you can take and keep moving forward. That is how winning is done. Amazing that this is on film.

My dad died when I was 16. He had been sick for several years with various health problems. He was also an alcoholic. But I have my dad to thank for several things. He was born in Europe and came to America in his 30s, so he gave me life in America where people like Rocky can work hard and keep moving forward. My dad was also a very hard worker. You don't get anywhere without working and my dad did rough physical labor to support his family. My dad was far from perfect and he had many demons in his life. He never really was a father to me due to his illnesses. But I thank my dad for all the things he did do for me. Rocky and other father figures helped me where my dad wasn't able to help me.

I read everybody's comments..but I want to tell you all that I have nobody in this world..No Mother No father..No Brother.. Nobody...Only One Son who's 4yrs old and my wife took him from me and left me..Now I m fighting for my son to get him back in the court...I just want to share my feeling that how hard I felt after watching this scene..😔😔😪😪

Left his son not only speechless but with the im sorry look in his face.

I think Sly was inspired to write this the way he did based on his own career, which is chock full of hits and failures. No matter what, he kept moving forward and he is still a winner.

34 years old and recently single. Can’t accept that life wasnt fair during to the breakup and even to now. I had to have Rocky to lift me up. It aint about hard you hit but how hard you hit, it’s about how you can get hit and keep moving forward. Thank you Rocky

The best speech ever of all Rocky's

Adrian would have these talks with Rocky. Now Rocky is having the same talks with this son.

I memorized this speech and said to myself from time to time and Keep moving forward.

On The Family Stallone, Sly takes his family to Philly and to that same spot. He starts saying the speech and his daughters start saying it! They know every word of that speech. Sly ingrained it into their lives as they grew up. He says of all the great things he’s written, this speech is the best!

One of the very best inspiration speeches ever he was not just talking to his son but to all of us too 😊❤

This clip should be shown in all the schools/ universities around the world.

I have 3 sons im done paying child support, im not in there lives, i live on the other side of canada, we dont speak, i chose to move away to find work, to keep moving forward, i was in a homeless shelter in london ontario, now i live in Edmonton alberta i work full time in the alberta oilpatch , i havent drank in 3 years, im 53. I'm not someone to look up too, but I've always worked, never given up.

Unpopular opinion: this is the best part of the all the Rockies since IV.

I've been a fan of Rocky since #1 came out in theatres. Rocky has never been about fighting. The 1st 3 were a love story. Since then, they've been a life story. That's what this old Rocky fan sees anyway.

My favorite speech in the Rocky Balboa franchise and 12 years later He and Rocky Jr reconcile because of The Italian Stallion finally getting to know his grandson named Logan and Logan looks like his late grandma Adrian

I first saw this as a 19 year old in the cinema and thought it was a nice scene. Now as a father of a one year old son, I come back and watch this quite frequently and get emotional every time. Simply magnificent, arguably the most powerful scene in the whole franchise

When my son is old enough to blame other people for his problems I will show him this

Gave me direction on My darkest days. Thank you Rocko.

The entire franchise leads up to this monologue, which describes her in one sentence, brilliantly!

The best speech about life . Everyone should listen to this speech. Learning to keep pushing forward . Every time I feel low I listen to this speech. Truly inspirational.

"Nobody is gonna hit as hard as life." sums up all the Rocky saga. What a great line and monologue !

I grew up watching Rocky, and when this film came out, I was an adult. I never, ever, forgot this scene because when I had kids... this was my credo to be there for them. Tough love and it is not about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. Forever. Thanks, Rock, thanks for showing me how to fight.

This is literally my inner monologue everyday. It's always a pull and a tug between the man I want to be and my self doubt.

The greatest speech not only in the franchise but probably of all movies in general!

It is always good to rewatch this.

One of the best lines in this scene is the unspoken one when Rocky gestures to himself as the “big shadow” that his son is using as an excuse.

Many young people in this generation will never grow up to experience tough love from a father…This scene is still blessing so many people. I still have tears in my eye when I watch it almost 20 years later.

While I like the Rocky movies I wouldn't consider myself a Fan but man I can say that this scene is one of the best scenes in cinema history. That speech hits so hard and true.

With all honesty and seriousness, this scene changed my life for the better, best, and greater good. It broadened my mental capacity and helped me developed a much bigger and better mindset than I had before I discovered this.

Growing without a father and listening to this hits harder. thanks, Rocky. For teaching me how to get hit and keep moving forward.

17 yr old here and this speech really motivates me before going to school to get through the day lol

This is the scene that taught me about accountability and I always reflect on it. “ you ain’t where you want to be because of him or her or anybody, cowards do that and that’s not you.”

I have this speech printed on canvas on my feature wall. I have struggled with mental health for years. Each morning, I see a reminder I can take hits and keep moving forward and it really helps.

This speech never fails to make me cry. Heard this speech again yesterday after a few months and the amount of tears I shedded was insane. Love this movie to death and grateful for this speech

Sylvester Stallone talented man who created something great that’s on screen for over 40 years. Rocky Balboa my only favourite sports Movie.

I slipped and fell on the floor today because the floor was wet. My fiance came back from the store just in time and saw me on the floor. He reminded me of this video ☺️ I told him I need help getting up off the floor. On the first attempt I lost my footing and slipped again on the floor. On the second attempt I told him to play this video. I cried when Rocky said "It ain't about how hard you hit, its about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward ⏩" "Cowards do that AND THAT'S NOT YOU, until you start believing in yourself you're not going to have a life!" Those words gave me the strength and the encouragement to give it a second try to push up on my own strength off the floor. I bruised my arm and bumped my knee when I fell the first time. I noticed my left big toe was bleeding and I must have injured it when I fell. My fiance took care of my toe, wiped up the blood from the floor and put a bandaid on my injury 🤕 We played this video a second time and I didn't fall. It gave me strength to "not give up!"☺️ I pushed my body up off the floor and stabilized my balance to stand up and get on the bed. 🛏️ With the help of my fiance he pushed me unto the bed gently as I stood up and I managed to get on top of the bed. I did it! I didn't give up. I know this was lenthy BUT I needed Rocky to speak to me (and my fiance) to NOT TO GIVE UP! #BeEncouraged🏆

Thank you, Rocky, thank you. Sometimes I just need that reminder.

This may be the best motivational speech ever to appear in a movie. And both actors were perfect.

This is literally the second time, I've heard that speech, and the first time I heard it, touched my heart so deeply, it stuck with me and brought tears to my eyes

A lot of comments about how incredibly good the lines are. But I can't stop thinking about his amazing delivery. ❤

Life struggle in one line ...Rocky Rock ...life is all about to do our dharm ( our duty ) .. great 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍

When I have a wobble,I always come back to this, to set me straight. "How much you can take and keep moving forward"

That speech inspired me to get a new home hopefully by next year. Putting money away and working multiple jobs, I told my wife have to do this, it's only temporarily until I reach my goal. She somehow understood and just like when Daffy Duck kept getting thrown out of a house because he was trying to sell something, he was lying on the ground with his products all over the place saying, "I'm not giving up!". Those were my inspiration.

"You got a lot going on for you kid!!" The incredible way he said that without being patronising, he was genuinely proud of his son despite all of his own larger than life achievements, absolute gold scene

When he talks about the privilege that was watching his kid grow up, is just like that. Is the most incredible privilege of all, see your kids grow and the profound hope that they´ll become good people.

Prime example why "Rocky" is my favorite movie/franchise of all time. Always inspiring. I get choked up every time I see scenes like this.

I've suffered so much in life from the moment losing a parent who never really cared to begin with them to suffer from bpd and psychotic hallucinations living with a permanent bully putting me down and reminded me off all I lose and the things I don't have to live and be there for a son to have him ripped from my life in an instant to raising a 2nd child almost single handely for the last 3 years to be left with no family's or friends justify trauma of the last decade and the daughter who keeps me going this speech speaks to me.

Until you start believing in yourself, you're not going to have a life.. This word hit me like a heavy punch.

This speech is what is getting me through my marathon training with countless injuries

I love this speech, it's because of this speech I became as brave as ipman and faced off with 15 thugs in an arcade arm with a baton on my left hand and a parang on my right hand. Ofc I wasn't alone I had my best friend next to me who was welding a stool

This speech changed my life.

" until you start believing in yourself you won't have a life"

“Don’t forget to visit your mother”

I have to listen to this speech every now and then just to remind myself and put things into perspective.

My favourite quote of all time

Thanks you rocky. I need to hear this today. I appreciate it so much. This is a great inspirational speech.

He don’t have a son in real life that I know of but he says keep punching and I will. In movie land and he has a son and in real life he was blessed with 3 living children. 3 more than sone of us got so I know he’s thankful and fans are thankful for his motivation. Thanks Sly for making movies to motivate people.

you have to wonder how many ppl this touched x

My mum passed three months ago and it's been tough, but I suddenly remember this scene and so here I am

Best part for me- I am scared to death I ain't supposed to Winners man

Love this scene, & its amazing & inspirational speech. Very awesomely motivational. It also induces these vivid & powerful flashbacks of a long ago time when my father was imparting his built up experience & wisdom, offering me advice, insights & these sage perspectives that, upon reflection, made total sense, & came straight from the heart. Wish I listened to him more (there was a lot of Rocky Balboa in him, huge hearted, patient & gentle as he was, yet also very wise to the ways of the world). If I could ever offer any genuine tribute to honor him hopefully these comments of heartfelt appreciation do just that. He was a Great Guy at heart, as my father is very missed.

Happy Rocky day

"Don't forget to visit your mother" man thats a cold follow up line

That's a very potent scene. Much wisdom there. I've heard and read wisdom before but the emotion in this scene is what hits the hardest coming from Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) to his son Robert (Milo). Words to live by for sure.

I've watched this scene over 100 times an I just noticed something. As Rocky is talking to his son and trying to get him to wake up and shake off the bitterness, jealousy and envy, you can see where Robert is really taking in Rocky's powerful words. If you watch closely at 2:53, his sons facial expression shows that Rocky is touching his heart and really getting through to him. Robert's demeanor changes and its easy to miss, but when you re-watch it, it's very powerful in its own way.

Fatherhood is about showing strength in sensibility and this is the best example I have seen in cinema to date

Greatest speech in history. Whenever I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed I watch this speech. “It’s about how much you can take and keep moving forward”

One of the Best Motivation I have ever come across in Life.

I rewatch this video all the time. Always brings tears to my eyes. Keep moving forward everyone 💪🏻♥️

From chills to tears. Beyond amazing.

KEEP MOVING FORWARD

This speech hits more than a Rocky´s punch.

I miss my dad now I getting old and I can see parts of my dad in Rocky and vice versa

One of the perfect casting, milo even got the same LIPS as stallone

Always listen to your father's wisdom. Just lost my pops. But I still hear his wisdom.

A good speech between son and father

Best speech ever
