You may regret that Sylvester Stallone, of the 6. July 1946, was born, and now its 70. Celebrates its birthday, not with his roots remained. The first “Rocky”Film in 1976 caused the watch still gives me the chills. And also the first movie in the “Rambo”series at least had a lot of scenes, offered Thought-provoking and deep in the Psyche of American society is looked at.
Rocky and Rambo in the sequel to loops
But probably this Regret arises only from the European point of view. The views of Americans on your hero Sylvester Stallone is sometimes less ambiguous. You judged the Action Star in Europe, a little more critical than in his home country, is mainly due to the many sequels of successful movies, Stallone and many other Action-strip of the actor.
At the Oscars in 1977: Stallone in addition to Eletha Finch and Faye Dunaway, Stallone screenplay was for the best original nomination.
The criticism of the other will is speed Stallone’s less on the Squeezing of the tried-and-tested success formulas of the cinema. Who can blame him that he wanted to make, with its two brands, “Rocky” and “Rambo” more money? Rather, it is a pity that he has not made out the two movie characters Rocky and John J. Rambo in the course of time – put in the first two films of the series, but a lot of material for differentiation and a view on the dark sides of American society.
The perfect embodiment of the American Dream
Rocky was an Underdog from a poor family, the hochboxte and thus embodied the Ideal of the American dream. Rambo was a deeply traumatized Ex-soldier who had suffered in Vietnam, especially emotional harm and later tried to regain a foothold in a society that did not know much of the horrors of the past. Stallone would have had the acting Talent to follow up films like “Cop Land” (1997) have shown.

But both as a Director as well as actor Sylvester has Stallone in the later career years of often brutal clumsy Action all: diverse characters, a predictable course of action, silent moments. Stallone has paid a price, because many of his films floppten at the box office. But the New York has can always celebrate again rattles and numerous Comebacks.
In this respect, he resembles his most famous film character, Boxer Rocky, very carefully. And you have to create only once. In the Ring, a fight goes 12 rounds. So far, the actor Sylvester Stallone is not gone permanently K. o.. This is already a power in the commercial shark Hollywood basin. Congratulations, therefore, to the 70th!
