That said, I did a similar thing with my Gay Divorcee post a year or so back, for the Wonders musical countdown...Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-46799454365438695492013-02-02T02:19:30.285-05:002013-02-02T02:19:30.285-05:00This is without a doubt my favorite visual tribute...This is without a doubt my favorite visual tribute that I've seen out of you so far, I love the brief focus of a small Rocky rising to the top with the view widening each step... plus the movement from left to right is really kinetic for a photography piece...STinGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00831190903494791629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-15271520737604548822011-04-26T13:35:29.974-04:002011-04-26T13:35:29.974-04:00Yep, my pick for '76 would be Taxi Driver but ...Yep, my pick for '76 would be Taxi Driver but I've a warm spot for Rocky, and people forget that for all its uplift it has a grimly realistic undertone too (for one thing, spoiler alert, he doesn't win!). Which only makes the uplift all the more effective of course.<br /><br />Incidentally when I ran up the Rocky steps I made it all the way to the very top, unlike Mr. Balboa. What a wimp! :)Joel Bockohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238338958380683893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-23633235882335314132011-04-26T13:00:31.999-04:002011-04-26T13:00:31.999-04:00Not just a wonderful visual tribute, this is an am...Not just a wonderful visual tribute, this is an amazing tribute to Rocky. Though it might not make the cut for the best film (in my opinion), Rocky still manages to induce a lot of nostalgia irrespective of how many times I see it. And the scene that you've chosen to eulogise here, well, that sure has transcended cinema and has become a part of pop culture.Shubhajithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02040495040897333606noreply@blogger.com
