Many individuals see Rocky's potential, however Rocky never observes it himself until he substantiates himself wrong by testing Apollo Creed. A posse in the city even says, "You'll make a million dollars," and Gazzo gives him five hundred dollars for preparing. Like the puppy he received, nobody demonstrates any enthusiasm for Rocky, yet they both in the long run discover a specialty or "calling." Adrian is one of the greatest professors in Rocky.

Rocky deliberately avoided the old time ways … he called it superstition.”(Silko, 51) He believed it to be superstition because that's what his teachers had made him believe he must do in order to be like the white people, unlike Tayo who respects their rituals and people's beliefs. Rocky thinks being in the army will be beneficial simply because the recruiter treats him differently than white people typically do, offering an escape from the typical Native American treatment of the time. Silko has Rocky disregarding and running away from his culture for a reason, he dies because he failed his people by abandoning them and their ways, giving in to the pressures of the modern world and abandoning the heavy connections to nature they have. Silko warns of the dangers we face by forgetting where we come from and our history. The war shows man's disregard for the environment as well as its self destructive nature, with Rocky leaving behind his ties to nature completely, he is ultimately killed, much like we all could possibly be if we continue to “progress” with environmentally damaging technology. In this case, the people telling Rocky to not let his culture hold him back are the ones

It is fantasy-based movie, inspired by the Rocky movies. However, it is possible that the story could have happened or is happening to a real person due to the issues presented throughout the movie. In a sense, the movie Creed is very similar to the musical film My Fair Lady. In My Fair Lady, Eliza wanted to learn how to speak properly thus, she increases her chances advancing in the community. Her inability to speak a proper English hindered her from getting a good paying job. Therefore, she went to seek help from Professor Henry Higgins. Earlier in the story, Higgins refused to help Eliza who had nothing to offer him. But because of her persistent and Pickering challenging him to make her a proper speaking lady, he took on the bet. The same plot was introduced in Creed. Jordan had a dream to be a great boxer, thus, he went to seek help from Stallone who had no interest in wasting his time teaching him boxing. But after a while, he agreed to train him but on his terms. Also, in both films the students Eliza and Adonis moved to live with their teachers Higgins and Rocky.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show , directed by Jim Chapman, is a campy comedy musical set in a horror and science fiction themed castle in which sexuality and hilarity run rampant. The film, closely based on a stage production, hit theaters in 1975 and continued to rule the midnight film scene, becoming a cult-classic.
