這是一部激勵人心的好片
在這之前我從沒看過洛基系列電影,也對拳擊賽興趣缺缺
會去看這部片純粹是為了當個好相處的人,偶而也要配合一下Ken的喜好
進戲院前,我一直懷疑,眼皮下垂、老態盡顯的60歲史特龍,還能打嗎?
打起來還能看嗎?無論是戲內戲外,這是大家共有的疑問,等著看笑話的預期心態
然而…
在不報任何期待下,這部片真是讓我跌破眼鏡的好看
好看到戲的後半段,我的頭皮一直發麻,全身熱血沸騰…
這部片的重點不是在拳擊賽的部分,而是在交代洛基退休後這些年的生活…
開了家小餐館每晚與賓客回憶過往英勇戰績、
摯愛的老婆病逝卻無法讓悲傷淡去、
兒子活在拳王老爸的盛名壓力下而自怨自艾,甚至疏離了父子關係
即使是象徵美國精神的英雄-拳王洛基,也終究是要過著一般人的生活
年老了,也不例外...
就是因為這麼平民地貼近真實人生
我更覺得這就是史特龍自己的半自傳
戲裡處理父子關係的情節中,蘊含了許多值得深思的對話
老洛基對著兒子說:「Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.! 」
「這世界不會永遠充滿陽光跟彩虹,這是一個非常邪惡骯髒的環境,如果你就隨之操縱,它會痛擊你、讓你一蹶不起,人生的考驗就是這麼地嚴苛,但是,面對人生,最重要的並不是你能打多重,而是你能挨多重並堅持向前,你能承受多少並堅持向前,這才是成功之道!」
面對拳擊執照審查委員拒絕發照時,老洛基又說:「Maybe you're doing your job but why you gotta stop me from doing mine? Cause if you're willing to go through all the battling you got to go through to get where you want to get, who's got the right to stop you?
Maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to someone, something... and you're told no, even after you paid your dues? Who's got the right to tell you that, who? Nobody! It's your right to listen to your gut, it ain't nobody's right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!... You know, the older I get the more things I gotta leave behind, that's life. 」
「在你執行你的職責時,為何要阻止我完成我的任務?當你願意去克服所有困難,達成心中的目標時,誰有權力能夠阻止你!面對人生中想做的事、未完成的事、來不及說的話,沒有人有權阻止你去完成,只有你自己!我深知當我年紀越大,我必須拋棄的過往就越多,這就是人生!」
好一句that's life,特別是從60歲的洛基口中說出
更是充滿了滄桑感及說服力,彷彿他一生的輝煌就濃縮在這些字句裡…
為了釋放心中的那頭野獸、為了消弭喪妻的哀慟
老洛基重拾塵封多年的重量訓練,站上拳擊臺與現任年輕拳王對打
即使體力、耐力已大不如前,也早已過了賣弄肌肉的年紀
但是當看到起床生吞雞蛋、晨曦中慢跑、在冷凍庫裡打僵硬的牛肉練拳頭等經典情節的重現
再佐以貫穿全系列的主題曲「Gonna Fly Now」響起時,呼呼~
連我都整個人熱血了起來,彷彿也跟著洛基一起跑上費城美術館前,高舉雙手大喊!
與年輕拳王的十五回合對戰,也讓我緊張到真想進入戲裡一起到擂臺邊高喊「Rocky、Rocky、Rocky、Rocky…」
當然,最後的結局沒有讓觀眾失望…
落幕時的花序,更讓人回味許久而不捨離開
這部史特龍自編自導自演的片為洛基下了最好的ending
也為他自己及洛基迷們完整了一個美好回憶…
