1/3/2024 0 Comments Scene from rocky balboa speechStallone’s figure in this movie is a broad and robust one and he is always presented as having full confidence in himself from the moment his son asks him about the fight all the way up until Stallone finishes his speech. Furthermore, Stallone’s use of invention is clear as he defines his conclusion from beginning to end. In order for Rocky’s son to understand that, his famous father figure must be the one to tell him that he is not a coward. The stress on that phrase is extremely important because Stallone is trying to invoke a sense of confidence into his son (as well as the audience) as cowards are known for their lack of confidence. His peak moment of his speech is when he denies his son of being a coward, up until before that it his voice starts to progress getting louder by the second, and after his peak it starts to die down. The use of changing his pitch in terms of his voice and the way Stallone times his speech is used flawlessly as he delivers the concept of believing in oneself to his son as well as the audience itself. When Stallone starts to slowly stress his already booming voice as he delivering his speech, it turns out to have an even greater effect in terms of convincing the character and audience. Stallone has a very strong and solid voice to begin with and in this speech, it’s his most valuable weapon when it comes to convincing his son. The delivery of this speech was bold, certain and reassuring. By Neo-Arisotelian beliefs, this speech does reach out to success as it not only speaks out to the character it was intended for, but it also reaches out to the hearts of the audience. At this point, Rocky gives his son a very powerful and inspiring speech in hopes to convince his son that nobody can determine what kind of person he will become or where he will be in the future but himself. Rocky, however, thinks differently and is the optimistic boxer who always fought with his heart. In the first half of the movie, Rocky’s son struggles with this fact as he believes that this will spoil his reputation that he has worked so hard for. Since Rocky is retired, his opponent has specific advantages over him already, which in turn worries Rocky’s family for even accepting the challenge in the first place. Rocky Balboa (starring Sylvester Stallone), the 6th and final installment of the “Rocky” franchise, is the story of a retired boxing champion who surprisingly comes out of his retirement to face one final opponent in a 10-round exhibition bout.
