UTV World Movies: Dramerica, five movies to get the American audience buzzing

Half the audience may have believed Sparta to be the name of a new budget supermarket, but there’s no denying the Spartan King’s roar of defiance tingled spines, raised hairs, and, most importantly, kick started Gerard Butler’s Hollywood foray. Faced with the endless waves of the Persian army, Leonidas opens proceedings with a well-placed boot that sends the make-up laden messengers flying down a pit. An act that has spawned countless online imitations, including pop princess Britney Spears in the place of the messengers, it embodies the American love of a good ass whoopin’. I am of course no authority to question Spartan architecture, but said pit seemed slightly out of place next to the refined and classical city of Sparta. However, in a land where a lifetime membership to LA fitness comes with the shield, ’s finer details are mere frivolities. The Spartans, for example, seem to have discarded the lengthy prose of their literary Greek counterparts, such as Homer, in favour of sharp one-liners that veer more towards a 70’s cop show. When faced with the Persian threat of, “Our arrows will blot out the sun”, one of the soldiers replies, “Then we will fight in the shade”. That cat’s got claws. Having won scores of high-profile bouts, grunting boxer Rocky Balboa is recruited for his biggest one yet, the Cold War. His on-screen nemesis is the monstrous, crew-cut clad and generically-named Russian Ivan Drago. No implications there then. But wait, there’s the famous pre-fight training scene still to come, which is heralded in each of the five Rocky films with a blaring of inspirational trumpets. This time Rocky swaps the stairs of Philadelphia for the howling winds of rural Russia and is forced to train by carrying wood and performing pull-ups on the wooden rafters of a barn. Now and again the camera will cut to Ivan’s routine, hooked up on various leads, surrounded by scientists and, ooh what’s that, a cheeky injection of an un-named fluid? You cheating Russian devil! Needless to say, the steroid-fuelled powerhouse that constitutes Drago is overcome by some good ol’ fashioned American grit. In doing so, Rocky goes on to earn the acclaim of the previously hostile Russian crowd and rounds off his propaganda performance with a tear-jerking speech on how similar the two sparring countries are. With such innovative and political use of the classic Rocky training montage, it is no wonder the film was the most financially successful sports film of all time.
