Anyone else not notice this!!
I picked it up the first time I watched the movie, and I'm flabasted that no one on any boards, film commentaries or anywhere has mentioned this, but I sensed a bit of 'Rocky' in Stallones character.
Maybe it was just coincidence, but how at the beginning he is intreverted, shy, keeing low-key, wanting to please others, and then to see how his character transform to someone that wants to take action, stand on his own authority, know his mind better and just grow in inner strength!
What do you all think?
