Keep moving forward

Keep moving forward

(這篇是新寫的)

2009年史泰龍自編自導自演電影《洛奇：拳王再臨》(Rocky Balboa)，Rocky第一集拍於1976年，這集已經是第六集。順口一提：史泰龍是我兒時偶像。

今集Rocky英雄遲暮，戲中的兒子長大了，描寫兩父子疏離感情。其中一幕父親對兒子的對白寫得很好。

Rocky :

“Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!”

人生是痛苦的，生活是我們最大的敵人。若果你向它屈服，它會把我們壓逼到爬不起來，不能翻身，生活不是關於我們受到多大的苦，而是我們能夠受到多大的苦，在受苦之中仍能繼續向前，才叫戰勝。

這乎合佛家思想︰人生有七苦，人輪迥到世間是來受苦的。如果你抱著來世間嘆世界的心態，應該會失望而回。如果你預咗會受苦，心理上已做好準備。能夠承受苦楚之餘，再向前邁進。這才是勝利。

甚麼是硬漢呢？並非十個打十個的無敵大隻佬，而是能夠承受打擊之下，再迎難而上的人。

電影中，Rocky雖然復出，但在挑戰賽中輸了，他演繹了甚麼才是“how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward”.
