Un boxeur, ça boxe...


Last night, I went to see "Rocky" with my friend Matthieu and two of his friends. Matthieu, being an ardent Rocky fan, was quite excited and had proposed the outing a few weeks ago. It was really amusing to see "Rocky" in Paris, especially with the French subtitles with such elegant translations that seemed to highlight dramatically those sometimes hard to grasp, philosophical differences between English and French. A good example is the line when Rocky says: "Fighters fight" which in French gets translated to "Un boxeur, ça boxe." It was doubly touching when at the end of the film, several French boys applauded Rocky's victory over the heartless Mason "The Line" Dixon. Vive la Rocky !

Tu ne recevras pas aucun commentaire jusqu'a ce que tu ouvres ce blog ci jusqu'a vos parents! Et possiblement ton oncle. Alors les barrages s'ouvriront!
