There is Much More to Sylvester Stallone Than Meets the Eye
Thom Zimny, known for directing music videos and concert documentaries for rock acts like Bruce Springsteen, ventured into a different realm of pop culture legends with this new documentary. It beautifully captures how Stallone's personal journey, akin to that of an underdog, resonates through the iconic characters he portrayed on screen.
Stallone's career is brimming with iconic characters. Apart from his portrayal of the title characters in the Rocky and Rambo franchises, he has also left a lasting impression with his notable performances in Tango & Cash, Demolition Man, Judge Dredd, Spy Kids 3, and more. However, in addition to his onscreen appearances, he has consistently been a driving force in propelling his career forward behind the scenes.
Stallone's journey began in earnest with the screenplay for his breakout hit, Rocky, which earned him an Oscar nomination for both Best Actor and Best Screenplay. Although his writing talents went unrecognized by the Academy thereafter, Stallone went on to write or co-write numerous screenplays in the following years, including Staying Alive, Cobra, Over the Top, and Cliffhanger. Interestingly, the majority of his number-one hits were penned by Stallone himself.
Throughout his career, Stallone has been the driving force behind his own resurgences. This is evident in his creation of an action renaissance through starring in, writing, and directing the 2010 ensemble action film, The Expendables. The success of this film led to a franchise that continues with the upcoming release of The Expendables 4 on September 22. If Stallone can convey the captivating story of his rise to fame as impressively as the rise itself, it is bound to be a remarkable achievement.
