Rocky's a caring person, he just doesn't know how to express himself, and his dialog reflects it a lot. Adrienne's very soft and mousey, awkward in her own way. Both characters grow and come into their own very much by the beginnings of Rocky 3 when he's World's Heavyweight Champion. They're real people, in a real world, with real emotion. The modern movie goer can't begin to grasp at this or understand it. Everything they view is through the stained lens of polluted social interactions and politics, not genuine emotion or real relationships.
