A documentary, Sly, shows Sylvester Stallone vulnerable even though not much of his expressions are reflected on his face! Too many Botox injections have led to partial face paralysis. However, he is quite impressed with his past and history.
He does not sound too emotional; instead, he is more bemused as he relates how his father tried very hard to put his son down! Not much of a controversy, especially not the ones that are compared to what happened in recent times regarding family drama.
In the documentary, some people in Hollywood have been questioned, such as Quentin Tarantino, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Wesley Morris, who have given limited insights and impressions about Stallone. However, mostly, the narrative was controlled by Stallone himself, along with being an executive producer of the movie.
The concert doc and music video director, Zimny, treated Stallone as a rockstar in the movie. The camera focuses on the actor’s arms and his big frame, highlighting his sanctity and the way he walks and carries himself!
His tumultuous private life is less talked about; instead, the 77-year-old opens up about his heartbreak while moving houses from California to the East Coast. The documentary is more of an apology instead of accountability.
He talks about significant strategies in his and professional life, such as how the idea of Expendables came to him when he was watching a rock reunion concert, which was nostalgic but terrible. However, every time Stallone talks, one element that keeps coming up is his feeling inadequate or incapable.
This feeling comes from him having an abusive father! The father always tortured Stallone when he was young and loved horse riding and playing polo! He was torn down from his horses at a young age by his father.
Later, when Stallone grew up, he played polo with his father, and his father tried to injure him seriously. Then, after the success of Rocky, his father also tried to produce his movie called Sonny!
