Rocky and Adrian kiss for the first time
You may be asking, okay, so they kiss? What's the big deal? I pick this sequence because of its honesty -- for once, we see a very honest portrayal of the first kiss and the tension of being alone together. And it's such a tender scene -- Adrian, being so shy, has trouble opening up to Rocky. He invites her over to his apartment after they went ice skating together (which is another tender scene) and they slowly become intimate. It's really for the honesty, and for seeing Talia Shire's performance as she sheds the huge layers of something (pain perhaps) to give herself to Rocky. She removes her hat and glasses, and we not only see her face really for the first time, we see the exposed inner soul of a shy woman, and both performances make this a very honest and tender love scene. |
