The diegetic sounds in Rocky are a lot. Diegetic sound is what you hear on the screen and can see them.  One of them is when Rocky is hitting a piece of meat, and you can see him hitting the meat and the sound of meat getting beat. Other sounds are when Creed and Rocky are in the ring and hitting each other and you can hear them hitting each other. Non-diegetic sounds are sounds playing in the background but you can’t see them on the screen. Some examples is when you hear the crowd booing and cheering while rocky is in the ring. Another one is when you can hear the train on the tracks while rocky is on the streets. Also when Rocky was in the locker room you can hear other people boxing and jump roping. The theme of the film is never giving up. The film was well received in 1975-1976 because they made an amazing movie that made Sylvester Stallone famous. Some save the cat moments are when Rocky makes the young girl go home instead of smoking and getting in trouble. Another is when Rocky is nice to Aiden after her brother was being so rude to her, and when Rocky credits his friend on T.V.
