Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are breaking down 8 lessons for healthy masculinity through Rocky Balboa. Like Aragorn, he displays healthy masculinity, but heâs also humble, tender, strong, and teachable. They discuss how Rocky is a classic underdog story and probably the first to do it well. The character means a lot to Jonathan because of the valuable lessons about love, family, grief, and getting back up when life knocks you down. The training montages and frolicking in short shorts are a bonus.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the backstory behind the first film, since at least Alan usually knows some interesting trivia and this really ties in to the spirit of the character.
Stallone wrote Rocky when he was dirt broke and struggling, but passed up some good money for the screenplay because he wanted to act in it, but no one would give him the chance. But Stallone believed in what he had and what he could do, so he kept fighting for it. It came to the point that he had to sell his dog so he could have something to eat. Then he finally gets the deal that allowed him to act as Rocky, the movie happens, and the first thing he does when he gets paid is reunite with his dog. That first Rocky film was a true passion project that he believed in with his soul.

My favorite quote from the series is directed at Paulie. âNobody owes nobody nothin'. You owe yourself. Friends don't owe! They do because the wanna do.â

I admire that Rocky isn't afraid to be emotional, to cry or to overtly express his feelings to the people he loves, while having a traditionally masculine demeanour. Emotions are not a sign of weakness, but a show of strength.

One thing I like about Rocky is that when he found confidence in himself, Adrian found confidence in herself. She was told growing up that she wasnât beautiful and I believe one of the reasons she rejected Rocky at first was because she didnât believe he ever actually liked her. She let Paulie push her around and berate her a lot. But when Rocky and her started a relationship, she realized that she had self worth. That gave her the courage to stand up to Paulie and learn that she deserved to be treated well. Thatâs what makes her running into the ring and telling Rocky she loves her in the end of the first film shows up how much sheâs changed. The Adrian in the beginning of the film wouldnât have done that. And Adrian also helped Rocky as well.
While Adrian made the choice to change and Rocky was not all to do with that change (Iâm not implying that at all. Itâs possible to gain confidence and make positive changes to yourself without needing someone else), it shows how when weâre in love with someone and in a healthy relationship, it can help us out for the better.

Something else that I've always loved about the series is that Rocky (and also creed) are also never shown as womanizers or even interested in the idea which given the fame/rich theme would've been very easy to get into. They're respectful and thoughtful about their relationships just as much as everything else

I love that in the end of Rocky 2, he goes out of his way to thank his opponent, too. He stood in the ring against him pummeling him, and there's still that solid sportsmanship.

Rocky quoted the best life advice ever: "Nobody is going to hit you harder than life, and it will drive you down to your knees and keep you there if you let it."

I love that Rocky had such a huge impact on audiences that even years later people who donât even know the story are familiar with the music.

So when my wife and I were struggling with some issues with our marriage, stress with work, and having moved to a new area, I sat down and showed her Rocky giving his speech to his son and told her that we can do this together because we could take the hits life threw at us. That quote has become our family motto.

The dialogue between Rocky and Mick in the first film is masterful. thereâs so much of that tough guy facade between the two that hides so much subtext of the pain and the rejection that theyâve both faced. And that mask drops a little bit when Mick finally admits, âIâm seventy-six years old.â

He's one of the best role models ever. That's why I love rocky cause he reminds you that it doesn't matter if you win as long you show up and try your best. Not to mention he's really kind and is there for people

Stallone never getting an Oscar for playing Rocky and not being able to get the rights for his own character is criminal.

As a mom raising a son, healthy masculinity is very important to me. I haven't seen Rocky, but I think I will with my son and bring up some of these themes you've talked about.

The relationship between Adonis and Rocky and how he showed Donnie what it means to be a man reminds me of Zuko and Iroh from Avatar the Last Airbender, which is also another great example of healthy masculinity.

Iâm a 43 year old woman who doesnât love sport/action movies, but I love the Rocky movies (especially the early ones). Thank you for doing this video, it was great, and I totally criedâŚ..a lot!

Truly a great take on rocky. We hear so much about toxic masculinity, the best remedy is a good example of positive masculinity. This is so needed in todayâs toxic climate.

This video is amazing!
We hear all the time about âtoxic masculinity â, and thatâs good, but too little about HEALTHY masculinityâŚI see a lot of young men struggling to find their identity and purpose, and I feel that videos like these are excellent for providing relatable exemples

My dad stood in line for hours to see Rocky in theaters when he was 11 years old. Decades later he and I saw Creed together, and the ending of that film when Adonis and Rocky climb the iconic steps together had my dad sobbing. That was one of the few times Iâve seen my old man cry. I love Rocky.
