Callan Gillison 10/17/15 HUM 388.04 Prof. Benton Rocky Who doesn’t love the movie Rocky? In my opinion the movie is one of the best movies of all time. Yes, the movie is just one of those typical inspirational underdog stories about the American Dream, but in my opinion the movie tells the story of the underdog the best. While you make think that is the main theme of this movie, to me this is more of a secondary theme; this movie is more than just a story about the underdog. The main theme in…

She also helped make Egypt’s trade more efficient by having ships that sailed to land and bring back goods.

The two actors seamlessly fell into their parts and led the audience to believe they were truly insane. In the beginning, each of the two lived what appeared to be normal lives. Anthony Perkins managed his mother’s motel that had become a ghost-town after the new highway had been build, which completely cut off access to the motel. Glenn Close…
