A young boxer walks through a dark sidewalk with tight boxing gloves and sweating all over his body. Among the loud hurrah and shush coming from the audience, he stands still on the boxing ring asking a question to himself "win or lose?".
The movie "Creed" that I recently watched makes me think about a question: "what is the meaning of wining and losing?" The young city boy Creed, who was born in a wealthy family, seems to have a better life than some of the boxers. However, he is only an illegitimate child, and his father died in the ring. As for Creed himself, he believes that the winner in the ring is the one who can knock out his opponent. Therefore, he then goes to a boxing gym and yells that he wants to fight with the best boxer in the gym. Nevertheless, he was knocked out by the other boxer and was told that boxing is not a game full of a dream you are fighting for but a job that can feeds your family.
After learning a lesson, Creed decides to move to Philadelphia, where he is going to chase his dream as a boxer. Meanwhile, he also meets his father's old opponent Rocky Balboa, who is the one that "kills" his father. He then learns from Rocky the true meaning of being a boxer and winning a match. At the end of the movie, Creed concludes," A great fighter won't say it ain't about how hard you can hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and moving forward."
