Dear Rocky,
Of all the relationships I could talk about within the Karate Kid, I am choosing to talk about mine. With Ralph Macchio.
Of course I am talking about the original Karate Kid. For me, there is no other.
In 1984, I was 12 years old and I think I fell in love for the first time. With Daniel Larusso from the Karate Kid.
Those brown eyes. Those blue tracksuit pants. The soccer skills, on the field, on the beach. The shower costume. The black eyes and sheer defiance. Not to mention all the waxing.... on and off....
Daniel/Ralph posters adorned my walls and my school books, feeding my daydreams about the day we would meet and he would realise that I was the only girl for him.....
I can't help it Rocky. I give the Karate Kid a 10/10. Thanks for the memories Ralph!

Ha ha me too Madeline - I'm off to catch up on your blog - love the title!
DeleteHey...wait a minute! IIIII was going to be Mrs. Ralph Macchio! lol! I adored The Karate Kid too. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, oddly enough I don't find him remotely attractive now Ava!
DeleteI like "The Karate Kid." I love the original "Rocky." Inspiring!
ReplyDeleteGlenda, you may have predicted our R movie!
DeleteYes! Didn't you just ache for him with the black-eye? Carrying his pain.
ReplyDeleteDidn't you just want to be in the shower (costume) with him!
DeleteThat first movie was really great. The rest of them were kind of blah.
ReplyDeleteHaha I kinda liked the Japanese one.....
DeleteVisiting from A/Z; cute theme you have going for the challenge. I did enjoy the Karate Kid; who can forget "wax on, wax off." I was a bit older than 12 when the movie came out so I thought he was just a cute kid; I was newly married so my eyes were for my hubby only :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of the challenge!

Ah Up and Down Daniel son. Good review. Glad you liked my "K" aswell. What did you think of the rebboted version of the film?
ReplyDeleteYou know, I just can't bring myself to see it (although I love Jackie Chan) it has a bit too much Smith about it for me....
DeleteHim and Scott Baio... oh 'The glory of love' - The original is definitely the best, but the new one is sweet too.
ReplyDeleteThe song!! Yes!! Or was that Karate Kid II?
