PATREON: www.patreon.com/storystreet INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/storystreets/ Engagement Question(s): What's your favorite movie in the Rocky franchise and what's your favorite fight in the Rocky franchise? For me, my favorite movie in the franchise is Creed (with the original Rocky a very close second), and my favorite fight is probably a tie between the Rocky vs. Apollo fight in Rocky 2 and Adonis vs. Damien in Creed 3. And as always, thanks for watching the video! I hope it meant something to you.

As a boxer, I appreciate that creatives usually seem to tap into the fact that boxing is a great parallel for life when framed against a framework conflict and resolution. You made a great video touching on a few movies and their connection with conflict in life through boxing. Thanks a lot for a touching one.

it might not be the best movie around. but as a kid i loved real steel so much, and i don't think i will ever stop enjoying that movie

Babe wake up, new StoryStreet video just dropped

As someone who grew up boxing and now pursuing MMA I love how creators and directors draw a line that connects life and boxing together. It's a lonely sport, your in the ring or octagon against not only yourself but against your opponent. Drawing lines to how in life it's not just you versus the conflicts and hardships that hit you in life, but it's you against your own emotions and mental state. What will you do to keep going? What and how will you grow past these struggles and conflicts and adjust, and most importantly keep living life?

This video really got to me. My dad and I really loved the Rocky and Creed movies, our love for them were of the few things we shared. He passed away last January and it just feels so surreal. This video helped me understand some things, like i'm starting to realize that he didn't just exist for me, because he really lived in pain due to a life of grief and regret, and his death was kind of a way for him to be set free of this pain. Since then I've been only focusing in the shadows instead of looking at the light, that life is still worth living for. To celebrate the memory of those who are gone trough my own life and see myself as not as a mistake but someone who deserves to be loved and be happy. And also to hug my mom more often. I believe my dad would've also loved Creed 3 too. Probably nobody will read all of this and also I need professional help and not to just rely on some KZfaq video, but i'll take it all, one round at a time. Thanks for this video friend, you have gained a subscriber for eternity, y'all keep fighting the good fight! :)

Wow, i was crying for pretty much all of the last 30 minutes, and I’ve never seen any of these movies. This was masterfully done

I remember rolling my eyes when I heard they were making another film in the _Rocky_ franchise called _Creed_ . I wasn’t even going to go see it until word of mouth started getting around that it was surprisingly good so I took a chance with my $12, and I’m glad that I did. It became one of my favorite films of 2015 and to be honest, I’ve enjoyed the other two Creed films as well. They’ve done a great job of with the new direction they’ve taken this franchise in. Sorry for the tl;dr. Great video, BTW.

Brought tears to my eyes. Boxing films are some of the greatest ever and the most meaningful. Thanks for the video essay Alex.

Thank you for this beautiful essay. I love the Rocky films, but Creed, the first film, is a masterpiece. I find inspiration in it again and again. Ryan Coogler's humanity shines through in each of his films.

Just wish the 2nd film had this gritty look to it. Idk what it is, maybe the lighting but everything looks almost romanticized in the 2nd and 3rd film. The first one looked like I was actually in the stadium watching the fight in person.

I watched the Rocky movies and Creed 1 + 2 a little over two weeks and i'm so glad I got this video recommended. Top quality video

this was a phenomenal piece, it’s a crime this isn’t more popular than it is. thank you for this

This is a fantastic analysis. Boxing is such a timeless capsule of storytelling and visceral violence and emotion. I'd only say Creed isn't the first time we've really seen Rocky digress from those masculine traits and show him in states of weakness. We've seen Rocky go through moments of relatable heartache and weakness in all the movies. Of the course, the execution is always up for debate, but Rocky has always had moments of humanity -- even if fleeting amongst his godly outings before Rocky Balboa. I think what's quite revolutionary for Creed and Rocky's locker scene is we've never seen Rocky This low. It also helps if you know Sylvester Stallone channeled the pain of losing his son into his performance and it easily becomes a top 3 Rocky character moment. Neverthless, it's nice to think of these movies as basically boxing soap operas for men, including the Creed movies haha

GOOD JOB!! Million Dollar Baby is in my top 20 of all time favorites as a filmhead who watches films as far back as the mid 40's. The commentary on the shadows is on point because even I was thinking it wasn't just a touch, it was prominent use enough to consider some of these boxing movies fit for a Neo-noir category , especially by the time we get to Dame Anderson. Several similarities between Maggie and Dame, even though Donnie and Dame are only a few years apart, they did an excellent job of making him seem both old school and old and through him tackling Ageism.

as a person who is not that media literate and cant see the themes and messages of a movie/show even if its pushed in my face, thank you

This was a fantastic piece of art, everything about creed I was thinking and feeling you put into words and more.

"Honey, wake up storystreet dropped another banger"

What a gorgeous project man. Between your script and the stories of these films, I’ve been inspired. You couldn’t know how much. Thank you.

FUCKKKKK THIS IS THE ONE VIDEO I'VE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR AND I HAVE LEGITIMATE ADULT RESPONSIBILITIES KEEPING ME FROM ABSORIBING ALL OF THIS, YOUR CONTENT IS TOO PERFECT I WILL COME BACK AND WATCH THIS IN ONE SITTING AND DESTROY MY POSTURE IRREPARABLY AND IT'S CUZ YOU DESERVE THAT

Your videos are sometimes the highlight of my week, and you always seem to help me improve my life, so thank you for everything you do

Imma need a video like this for the other two creed movies. Please and thank you.

I’m always excited to see a new StoryStreet video! Can’t wait to see your perspective on Creed!

Thank you Story Street.

What an incredibly moving, thoughtful essay! This is the first time I’ve come across your work, and I’m astonished at how you brought these different stories and truths and this genre into conversation with a movie that I love so, so, so much. Subscribed!

Beautiful stuff as always. Nearly teared up a bit there.

Oh hell yeah, this is another great video from one of my favorite video editors / writers on this godforsaken platform that doesn't support him.

You got yourself a subscriber. This was fantastic and touched me emotionally. Amazing work!

Amazing video. Not much more I can say. Great psychological breakdown behind Creed. Relating it to other movies like Billion Dollar Baby. This is definitely a rewatch and recommendation for anyone going through things such as issues with vulnerability, abandonment, etc.

Don't comment very often, but love your content! Can't wait to see you get more popular!

Incredible Video. Subbed❤

Watched creed last night after watching the first 14 minutes of this video…. I cried while watching the movie

Incredible video my god.

Phenomenal stuff!

Please do the entire franchise.

I have to disagree with the statement “none of the sequels” could live up to the original. Every film has their moments that touch the fans. Every film has something memorable. even the films that are technically not up to the standards of the first two rocky movies-rocky 3 and 4, ARE FAVORITES of many. I think rocky 2 came pretty close to equaled the original. And others may think rocky 2 is better than one. And there is a great review online somewhere where the reviewer commented that to him, rocky 6 was the TRUE sequel to rocky 1 But I LOVE how you reflected on creed- it was literally living up to a legend, that’s an underdog. How many spin-offs fail? Or sequels fail? (Cough cough Star Wars). But how many match and excel in thst hype? Not many. And creed to me cemented again that rocky, in the hands of ppl who care, will live on and that truly most of the series is special. ThTs something marvel movies, star wars, Harry Potter, lord of the rings/hobbit and so ms y big name franchises that have more money than rocky ever will have can’t say.

dude this was awesome. anyone i can help out with your videos?

I honestly find the each creed movie better than any rocky film but I didn’t grow up with them. I’m sure if I had nostalgia for rocky it’d be different

I've honestly never been interested in boxing, either as the subject of a film or as a sport. This video has changed that perspective profoundly.

One of my favourite ever films! Great video,sir! (Except….flipping an image to avoid copyright issues…DOES NOOOOT and WILL NEVER work). It absolutely does not constitute transformativitynessnessism ✊🏼

Awesome fken video dude

It may be a stupid little thing, but I like the word in the miniature are behind Creed, in difference to all the others of your channel where the word is just put in front of everything It shows more quality and work

Man I wish I knew as many words as you

I'm subscribe to alot of diffentes channelse. So sometimes it's hard to remember them all. So I took a chance and watch the video, and man it hite me. The part about being angry hite me, because I realised that I'm not sad, but angry at myself which is making me sad. That was yeasterday. Today I watched your video about everything everywhere about regret. Which inspired me to make this comment. To show that what you do has meaning. I don't know you, and you don't know me. But you still had an affect on me, so I hope I can affect you

Damn, I'm early lol But great video on Creed!

Lets goo

🤯

Great video, but in my opinion Rocky II is as good as the original Rocky.

Existing is hard.

can someone add english subtitle please l really like this channel's vids but my english is not good enough to understand all

Can you please do Creed 2

Have you ever watched Ippo?

I think you forgot to mention "Teen Wolf too".

Adonis Creed, isn’t really a true underdog story in my book….he lived pretty privileged. Lived in belair, worked in what appears to be a investing firm, got the girl, had rocky teach him to box….yea, he was in juvie and foster care, but only as a kid….personally I found Victor Drago the true underdog story in creed 2 and Damian in creed 3

This video seems to suggest there is no real virtuous violence, as though self defense, or defense of another, or defense of a nation/principle etc. can never justify violence. I'm not sure I totally agree with this.

Jeez, Stallone got FLAT OUT ROBBED of the Oscar! And, yeah, I saw Mark Rylance’s Perfectly Boring performance in Bridge of Spies…Safe, dull…kind of lifeless…it still sucks

It sounds like you aren't the biggest fan of Rocky Balboa (the movie) and I'm quite curious as to why

yea well not haveing sly hurt the total box office

film therapy said it best. that this movie and the Rocky series as a whole (with the exception of Rocky V 🤮) is a perfect example of healthy masculinity

J

CREED should have NEVER been made ; it destroyed the legacy of , Apollo Creed

I don't like boxing movies

Adonis will never have the charisma of Apollo . I don’t even believe it’s his son in the movie . I don’t get the hype over these films . They don’t hold a candle to the originals.
