Creed ... fighting to make your own legacy

Why does everybody follows what been told? It's hard to find our own place in the world, making our name stand by itself but why seems like everybody tries to show us where to go, and what to pursue? When growing up we are taught basic about life and society pushes us in a direction to become a good person as adult but what about if our own choices are a good option as well?What to play, what to study, where to go for fun, what hobbies should we follow, what's the most in thing right now? all of them tendencies that will change with time but all of them with no intention other than manipulate masses in the industries benefits or pop culture innovations making us just followers instead of leaders. So when someone steps up and decides to try things different is criticized, finger pointed and rejected till success is proven.Then that someone can become in a legend because has the courage to think differently and applauded because their achievements but usually that happens in rare occasions and long time after all the suffering for going against the flow for a while.
But those ones are the ones that get movies, biographies, become role models for bad or good, so why don't try it?

Why still sit and settle with what other had chosen for us. But some things will never get old and this kind of values and traditions will always be up to date and encouraging to new generations to achieve their goals and find themselves through their passions and things they love will bring the best of them and turn in to success whatever they decide to go for. If still confused or have no clue what i'm talking about, then thats why we got "Creed" (2015). Don't get confused by the tittle, because we are still in one of the most cherish franchises in cinema. Also known as Rocky 7, this movie is the perfect example of the clash of generations when an old franchise gets a new renovation by new a generation to show how new can still have some old in there own or how old gets better with some new touches. So far the movie has gotten the best reviews for a movie of it's kind and after the original from the 70's, making it already a triumph that remind us why these kind of movies are made for and from and bringing new and old characters to it's best. Usually sports movies are repetitive and have the sub plot of a feel good movie where an underdog achieves success and hits all goals so what does each different sport should stand by for itself to tell a story of its own.  So what about boxing? a sport made for two individuals to fight to each other and try to beat the there by punches and standing the longer than the opponent.

This time the story centers on a young orphan boy that growing up by himself he learns to take all the anger inside out by starting fights and beating other boys. Once that someone offers him the opportunity to take care of him and be raised in a home and be part of a family, has the opportunity to be loved and feel that belongs to some where but still when time goes by and now as an adult the life of an average man, working in a company, with a 9 to 5 job, getting promotions, living in a big mansion is not enough. He's been always pulled by his father legacy, a boxing legend. Reason enough for him to quite everything and pursue what makes him happy and be passionate about: fighting.

With the help of an old friend from his father, the famous Rocky Balboa, he will start professional boxing training and learn how to deal with all that anger and his attributes as a fighter because that's what he has learned, fighting to survive. So the boxing will become an opportunity to show how we all have different battles to fight in live and it's not always about winning but to fight for what makes us happy and what we really want in life other than we have been told. Finding the right people to share all this with will become in our real family and will help to make us feel accepted. Once the challenge is set up, we'll do whatever it takes to achieve it other than just try our best. A perfect balance of boxing scenes with a big heart scenes that will show us the best of two men fighting their own battles while learning one or two things along. But who would choose to train and be beaten up multiple times in order to win and earn how to be stronger and more agile than others to give the best punch? Well, seems like is not about the pain we are about to face but the fact that challenging yourself through all the process that will take you there and when the ring bells your name will stand by its own become in a legend yourself.
