‘I’m Rocky’ Sylvester Stallone hits back at Hollywood dreams and reveals their history

This year coincides with the 50th anniversary of the release of the classic film “Rocky.” This magnum opus, written and starring Sylvester Stallone, not only achieved box office success that year, but also wonoscar It won three awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Editing and became an immortal classic in film history.

Coinciding with the seminal moment of half a century, directed by gold medal-winning director Peter Ferrari, who won Oscars for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay for “Green Book”, the new masterpiece “I Play Rocky” turns the lens on the classic before its birth, revisiting Sylvester Stallone’s true struggle from being an unknown actor to insisting on playing his characters.

The story of the film “I Am Rocky” is from the 1970s. At the time, Sylvester Stallone was still an unknown actor waiting for an opportunity. Although he wrote the script for “Rocky”, a classic and great film in film history, he never received recognition.Hollywood be optimistic.

When the producers liked the script and wanted to invite other famous actors to play the leading role, Stallone insisted that he should play the role of Loki, and even refused generous compensation, rather than abandon the character he had created. Faced with financial difficulties, external doubts and unattainable performance opportunities, he still chose to hold on to his belief and tried to prove that he was not only a person who could write good stories, but also had the ability to bring the characters of the stories to the big screen.

It is noteworthy that “I Am Rocky” not only shows how Sylvester Stallone overcame many obstacles to win the acting opportunity, but also recreates the appearance of this Hollywood superstar before he became famous through the performance of new generation actor Anthony Ippolito.

To get closer to Stallone’s physique and boxer image, Anthony Ippolito underwent long-term intensive training. He not only gained 30 pounds, but also received boxing and physical training for almost two years. He completely devoted himself to preparing for the character, from physical shape, movements to character attractiveness, and attempted to recreate the mythological image familiar to audiences.

“I Am Rocky” not only pays tribute to the classics, but will also take audiences to the starting point before the legend was born, and see how an underappreciated young man fights with confidence and courage for the opportunity to stand in the boxing ring.

“I Am Rocky” describes Sylvester Stallone, a down-and-out actor living in New York in the 1970s who has repeatedly hit a wall. He firmly believes that he is not only the man who wrote the boxing legend, but also the man who is destined to stand in the ring – Rocky. He had nothing and his girlfriend Sasha was about to give birth, but he gambled away all his wealth. Faced with the exorbitant remuneration offered by the production company, Stallone repeatedly said no by the time he handed in the script and gave up the lead role. Just to “play Loki in person”, it is not only a fight against fate, but also the bargain of his life, just to become famous in a battle. The film will be released in specified theaters in the United States on November 6 and will expand across the United States on November 20.
