I'm part of my city's local boxing club. We have a fight night every January, and last year I was training for my first. I wanted to copy rocky to a degree, so one december morning I got up at 5:45 AM, while it was raining outside, and ran across the city until the sun came up at 7am. I ran up the steps of Prospera Centre (Hockey arena) like Rocky running up the steps to the Philadelphia museum. Moments like that are special, when you have worked hard for an hour before the sun rises.

This is my favorite scene in the movie. The most realistic training scene in Hollywood, no music, just huffing and puffing and waking up exhausted. This is what real training looks like.

The musical score in this is absolutely sublime. Its all the emotion of it. In the minor key. A bit desperate. A bit melancholy. Searching. Unsure. He's trying but not sure of himself. Like we all are at times. But he finds it within himself to TRY. This scene is profoundly moving. Its not just about boxing its about life and anything you want to succeed at. Bill Conti found the sound of that emotion. What a classic.

What makes this scene so special is this is when Sly Stallone had nothing. He wasn’t rich. He was struggling to get by. In away, we weren’t only seeing Rocky paying his dues, we were watching Stallone pay his as well.

I'm a 60 year old, spectacularly overweight fat guy (6'2", 295), who got away from exercise and taking care of my body years ago. This scene literally makes me tear up. The scene and the perfect music capture the reality of what it takes to break old habits and improve yourself. Acceptance, courage, self-motivation, dedication. God grant me these things. Wish me luck.

The only time Rocky had the major luck was when he got one time shot with Creed. Rest is just the grinding.

This scene reminds me of all those years ago when I used to work graveyard and my shift came to an end. Seemed like I was the only person out in the world as I went home all those dark, early mornings, listening to my music on my SONY Walkman. Most of the time I was o.k. with it but, there were times (especially in the fall and winter), when the feelings of loneliness and isolation got pretty heavy. Still do at times...

Lonelyness can be the most greatest, chillest, feeling of all of them. Loneliness like that is what I dream of everyday. Being lonely and chill gives me confidence. I love to be in my own space. This scene is the Greatest scene I’ve ever seen. I watched Rocky about a year ago with my friend Patrick (Who is a big fan of boxing.) And after I watched it I loved boxing even more. I worked harder at the gym. And now I would be in sparring if the pandemic didn’t come to destroy our lives.

@@THEDONSTR8Fightah76 I get where you're coming from but what you're talking about is solitude, not loneliness. Solitude is a physical state of being where you isolate yourself from time to time to unwind or as you say, be in your own space. Loneliness on the other hand is something very different. Loneliness is a mental state. Prolonged loneliness can become a negative mental state which can lead to depression and coupled with solitude as depression is most of the time, can lead to other problems and even suicide.

It's about getting up each day and grinding, be it in the ring or real life. You alone against the world...This movie just isn't just about boxing but life. It's gonna be dark, cold, brutal and lonely, but you WILL make it. From what's been put out over the years, this movie wasn't even supposed to be and what a shame if it wasn't. I actually got into physical training, lifting and sports because of this movie. 40 plus years later, it's more powerful to me than when it came out because of all of the bullshit i've been through and will continue to go through...We all have, and will face Apollo Creed in our lives in various forms. You will get knocked on your ass and on your face. No problem. The question is do you have the guts to get up over and over? Keep grinding and don't you dare stop.

In my opinion it is important to note how much this scene contributes to the legendary training montage later in the film. It shows where the real fights have to be won: Far away from all spectators, by yourself and with yourself as your greatest opponent. This training does not yield an immediate reward - it is one of many lonesome ones you have got to take to reach your goal. Knowing this makes the moment when Rocky finally runs up the stairs later in the film so much more rewarding. He has conquered himself and by that has already won the biggest battle. As a viewer you can feel the accomplishment Rocky feels by just thinking back on how much more he struggled with the stairs - And with himself for that matter - back in this scene. On a final note: I also loved the scene when Rocky tells Adonis in Creed how his biggest opponent is the one looking back at him in the mirror. However think about it: Rocky 1 accomplished to tell this message without actually speaking it out loud - By this scene alone.

Dude I know the stairs are like a symbol of some kind of bully or tyrant that always gets the best of him until the end when he finally stands up to it and conquers it.

This score just says so much about this moment in Rock’s life. So moving. For some reason this was always my favorite part.

The beginning is always the toughest

For me, Rocky is a hugely inspirational movie (and character). Not only because of the story/message itself, but also because it's amazing to think that a man like Sylvester Stallone - who we don't see as a particulary good actor - was capable of writing a script which would culminate in a great successful film, even achieving the Best Picture Academy Award. *More incredible was the fact that Stallone himself was nominated for Best Actor!

Rocky...grew up on this movie. Everything this movie stands for is good.

It is 4am...under 30 degrees cold...no cell phone...no ipad...no social media...Gat to love the classic old days!!!!...#RESPECT.

My favorite scene in the whole film. So real and truthful. I was so moved when i saw this for the first time.

The part when Rocky was holding his ribs. I bet he was thinking I hope their is a taxi around this early.

When I finally got myself in shape back in 2004 I'd wake up and play this scene early in the morning before going riding on a bike.

I watch this scene on the days I don't feel like working out. Its a reminder that there is someone out there somewhere in the world working harder than I am.

it's hard to wake up some times but life is harder so let's all live

I sometimes watch this clip and I wonder to myself what people felt the first time they watched this film back in 1976. This is such an uplifting story that left people with hope and something to root for. This film is a true masterpiece and a cultural phenomenon indeed.

The memory of this scene has helped me through many mornings.

I remember the first time I watched this. I thought why the heck would you get up at 4am to run. I now get up three times a week at 4am to train.

Everything is perfect about this scene, the mood, the music, shot at dawn, cold crisp morning, Rocky getting a slow start but still trying to make it happen.

Possibly my favorite scene in the movie so inspirational beautiful music

He basically had to use this thing called imagination to entertain himself.

Every early morning, when I see the blue Light of dying night I think about This scène... Something so intimate, subtle... I've been through a lot of struggles the past two years and This scène always gave me somekind of strengh. The courage of honestly Just be a human being. And waking up again and again...

Masterpiece.

This scene perfectly sums up the 'early morning run' vibe. Deserted streets, all quiet with the only sound being your own gasping for breath as you suck in the freezing cold air, running through the darkness of a winter morning.

This scene express the difficulty of beginning your passage to success. This is exactly how 1st day of workout feels. More of laziness you have to over come. And the background score adds more emotion to the scene. It's one of the greatest motivational scene from Rocky series.

Yes. You wake up everyday. Another round in the track, another opportunity for a better life. The score really captured the emotional struggle in all of us.

This was the point in Rocky's life where he had to get more serious about his health if indeed he was going to beat the champion Apollo Creed. Things such as drinking, smoking, & even having sex with Adrian had to be cut out. Goes to show ourselves in life, of warning-signs, & clear-cut indications that one needs to get our priorities together in order to achieve greatness.

I had a boxing match back in January (A just for fun match where Rugby players & the Boxing club members get together and fight to raise money for the Rugby team) and I went and did this one morning at about 5:30. I ran from my house on the south side of town, and ran through rain at 6:00 am in the morning in late December. This song played in my head the whole way. I ran, jogged, and walked for 90 minutes, and eventually reached the sports stadium in the middle of town, about 7-8 kms away. What a feeling to do that.

It's the authenticity of this scene that makes it iconic. No bells and whistles no fancy training equipment, just an underdog fighter beginning a long uphill journey. This scene captures the entire spirit of Rocky and all of us who struggle to be something more.

Rocky ist the best.Motivation,powerful and he has not Fear for the Future.That would be a great future

waking up at 4 am??? that's the time i usually go to sleep

When leisure & luxury is subordinate to the definite purpose of your life, you do wonders and become champ!

This scene is so powerful for me because it reminds me of that moment before I go to work or to the gym. It’s actually easier to break the habit of doing so. The hard part is to keep going. Motivation may get you started but habit keeps you going.

Iconic. Unforgettable

This scene gives me chills to my core the scenery of Philadelphia as he's walking down the stairs that early morning look it's beautiful cinematography

This video prove how a person fights its own battle all alone this is what life is every time i watch this i feel more energetic to live for

Huge difference here to the super athlete we see training with Apollo Creed in Rocky 3. Love these movies, so inspirational

This scene is very important in the sense that it makes you reflect on the fact that nothing comes easy. The odds against you are tough. You will be alone trying to make a difference. You need to put the work in. Working out early in the morning reminds you of hard work but you also get this sense of being alone. It’s a very rough feeling but you get through it. The odds will be against you as reminded by the score by Bill conti but you need to keep fighting until the last breath.

Love the picture of the city at 03:20.

Love this ❤ I still watch it nearly 20 years on from my first time seeing it ... I always think of it when I'm getting back into training, hard at the start but always worth it 🥊❤

this is a legendary scene rocky is tired not sure of benefits of all that but he has to do his best to win in his life and so everyone in life you have to do your best overcoming difficulties in life to win in your life

The goosebumps man. The memories boys! You got no idea!

This is my favorite part in the movie because it shows his dedication to get the fuck up even when you don’t feel like it and to go put in the work!!

I exactly knows how he feels...I was once out of shape,tired and nauseous

I do this every morning. I mean, I live in West Virginia, so not the exact city or anything, but I always run three miles at 4:00 am. And I've been doing this for six years now. And I am seven-teen. And I owe it all to this scene. This is probably why I'm a track star. Rocky is simply, inspirational.

The road to success is very very very LONELY...CHAMPIONS re made when Nobody is Watching or Cheering!!!.

This was a well directed sequence that showcases Rocky's early efforts in training for his upcoming fight. His desperation, physical prowess, and tenacity are tested when he only just barely makes it up the stairs of the Philadelphia art museum. Later though, his motivation, and energy shine through during the training montage and Rocky ascends up the stairs with the confidence and hope of a winner. The whole sequence was set in motion by a memorable and moving score by the great Bill Conti.

Best Movie ever made. Between the music selection and the thought Stallone put into this perfect trilogy this will go down as my personal favorite as all time.. Legendary

bruh that MUSIC!!!!!!! its so sad, haunting and beautiful Rocky is lost alone in the world He is going to fight apollo but doubts himself. despite all of that he is not giving up rocky is going the distance whatever that takes that includes waking up at 4 AM drinking I counted 5 raw eggs and going out to a freezing cold Philadelphia morning. And that's the heart of the movie and its definitely my favorite scene in the movie. I love the training montage and the fight But its this scene that made this movie legendary

Beautiful scene.

Sylvester Stallone greatest character, you felt his pain and struggle and simplicity of just wanting to be the only person to go the distance with Creed.
