DIRECTOR'S CUT: Psychology of a Hero: ROCKY and Healthy Masculinity
Added 2023-02-27 15:51:47 +0000 UTCHow do you respond when life gets tough? Who are your role models for healthy masculinity?
Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are breaking down 8 lessons for healthy masculinity through Rocky Balboa. Like Aragorn, he displays healthy masculinity, but he’s also humble, tender, strong, and teachable. They discuss how Rocky is a classic underdog story and probably the first to do it well. The character means a lot to Jonathan because of the valuable lessons about love, family, grief, and getting back up when life knocks you down. The training montages and frolicking in short shorts are a bonus.

Jono got me- I watched Rocky thru Creed II(I) and I am blown away by his kindness to Adrian and any animal/ creatures who cross his path.

2023-03-17 14:39:42 +0000 UTCI am actually disturbed by the accuracy of Jono’s Rocky impression. 😳 But it was amazing!

2023-03-02 02:06:56 +0000 UTCIf I may recommend a video on The Imitation Game, I know it’s not the most popular movie. But I feel that there’s a lot we can learn from studying it

Cinema Therapy
2023-02-28 13:53:15 +0000 UTCI saw the series once about 15 years ago and loved them, I still haven’t seen the creed movies but that clip of Creed coming into the final round with the rocky theme gave me chills.

2023-02-28 05:19:59 +0000 UTCI watched these all the time in high school, but now that I watch them again they punch a little differently. I’m so thankful that Netflix brought these movies back on! If anything, it at least got me wanting to go to the gym again! 😂

2023-02-28 04:44:27 +0000 UTCThank you! I respect that.
Cinema Therapy
2023-02-28 02:28:48 +0000 UTCI still don't think I'll ever watch them, but it is very touching that Jono is so into it and it's not just another super cheesy 70s/80s franchise

Nick Wadman
2023-02-27 23:11:31 +0000 UTCWell you did it, I'm gonna watch the Rocky movies. Look how happy Jono is 😊. Thank you for sharing this emotional part of your story. If you both are doing this for the next 40 years I'm with you 😄. Aaaand I really need a fun episode of Jono doing Impressions. I mean come on we've got Gollum, Stitch, Mickey Mouse, Rocky, Donkey, Po, Woody....

2023-02-27 16:58:50 +0000 UTCDo it! I'm so psyched for Creed III.
Cinema Therapy
2023-02-27 16:51:40 +0000 UTCJono, your Rocky impression is *chef's kiss*
Angie
2023-02-27 16:51:24 +0000 UTCI’ve never watched Rocky. This video may just push me over the edge to see it. Ironically enough, I have seen Creed 1 & 2.

2023-02-27 16:43:21 +0000 UTCThere's nothing better than the power of a good movie connecting to the people who may or may not know they need it. Thank you for this reaction.

2023-02-27 16:33:46 +0000 UTCDo it!
Cinema Therapy
2023-02-27 16:32:10 +0000 UTC"No one in our target demo is going to care about this" 😂 it's true for me anyhow -- I've never seen Rocky but I just might go back for them based on the therapy!
Angie
2023-02-27 16:18:00 +0000 UTCI really am!
Cinema Therapy
2023-02-27 16:04:48 +0000 UTCI never thought I would ever watch this movie, but here I am watching a reaction to this movie. The reaction nobody asked for, but it's still entertaining! If this was anyone else, I wouldn't watch it, but look at Jono's face. He's so happy
