Arnold

Arnold Schwarzenegger is simply one of the most incredible human beings on this planet and this documentary shows why in a very beautiful and elegant way.

That a guy, born in the middle of Austrian nowhere, can achieve just one of the careers of Arnold is a miracle in itself. That he championed THREE careers and made everything that he envisioned as a kid a reality is virtually impossible.

Watching this you will find yourself laughing and shaking your head in disbelief at the sheer absurdity of how is somehow able to make all his way too and completely unrealistic dreams come true. And then some.

And that he seems to have managed to stay a *normal guy* through all this, is even more amazing.

I really wouldn't be surprised if he soon says *by the way, I will grow me some wings and fly around the world* and then just do it. 😂 would fit right into his biography.

Thanks for this gem of a documentary.

I love Arnold. I have followed his career my whole life, and wasn't sure if I would watch this because I felt I knew everything I needed to know about Arnold. I was wrong. This is a really great, and honest, documentary about the meteoric rise and challenges of this complex man. While we know the story of Schwarzenegger, what this film does is provides the man's guided journey through the, not only the circumstances, but his thoughts and feelings. The archival footage, and the modern interviews, are all well woven together to make this an exceptional docuseries. I often complain that most modern documentaries are too long-this one, at three parts, is just right. I recommend it.

'Arnold' (2023) is actually really good. At first glance it appears as another propagandic celebrity docuseries, but Arnold once again chooses to take on another challenge head-on even when he could have just focused only on the positive aspects of his career.

This docuseries will convince you that Arnold is exactly as he appears to be. And the Governator goes in-depth to explain his background and how he has always dealt with challenges.

This series is divided into 3 episodes covering his early-life and bodybuilding career, acting career, and his later life from his time as Governor of California up to 2023. This format resembles his autobiography, 'Total Recall' (2012). It covers pretty much all you thought you knew and everything you didn't even know about.

Arnold Schwarzenegger has always been a man with a vision and mission to achieve this vision. If you love Arnold you will be in awe this whole series. But even if you are only somewhat familiar with Arnie, this series will ignite a fire in you as learn how motivation and a vision can change one's life.

Give it a watch. Its really good.

My husband and I watched all three episodes last night. It's one of the best documentaries I've seen. Very candid and we liked that the person being documented is actually the one doing the talking. He comes across as a very driven person, smarter than a lot people think he is. (Probably the accent and those action movies). He has worked really hard all his life invested his earning wisely. He gives a lot of credit to all the people who have helped him along the way. He actually says " Don't call me a self made man". I've had lots and lots of help". He covers in the three episodes, his early career in bodybuilding along with his relationship with his parents and brother growing up in Austria, his movie career and his political career. He made me believe that he is actually a pretty nice guy who has some flaws and owns up to some mistakes he has made and that he tries to do the right thing. If you are a fan, you will be even a bigger one and if you aren't a fan, you may be surprised more than once and become one.

I was surprised. The transparency and depth of his background really surprised me. The first episode sees Arnold opening up about his home town and parental upbringing. He doesn't pull any punches here. Seeing him in the very same bedroom...and bed...where he began his quest was mind blowing for me. Hi journey to America was detailed as was his acknowledgement of those who supported him...both financially and physically. Franco and Frank were key in his personal life providing guidance and friendship. It was a breath of fresh air to hear him open up about steroids as well. I am really looking forward to the next 2 episodes, hoping he leaves the vegan nonsense out of it. A great documentary so far.
