Movie roles and character images
The film “Creed: The Rocky Legacy” (Creed), reviews whose reviews are the subject of this review, turned out to be so successful largely due to the very good, thorough and detailed thoughtfulness of the characters. The creators thoroughly worked on the psychology of the characters, which attracts the main attention of the audience.
Of course, the most interesting thing for fans is to observe the relationship between the main characters: Creed and his famous mentor Rocky. Perhaps these heroes carry the main semantic load of the film. Despite his quick temper and excessive passion, Donnie still arouses sincere sympathy for his perseverance and perseverance, not to mention Rocky himself, who seemed to find himself in this new work again.
The image of girlfriend Creed Bianchi is very pretty and attractive, who, as she should be, pretty quickly penetrates with sincere feelings for the boxer and supports him in everything. Unfortunately, the image of Ricky, a professional boxer, is not sufficiently disclosed, and yet the psychological component here would be very appropriate.
