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.

Every bodybuilding and Arnold fan has always been sad that there doesn't exist more footage of Arnold pumping iron back in the 70s. This documentary features so much footage which we've never seen before. Not only video footage from the gym but also footage from movie premieres and forgotten interviews. This is a must-watch for every Arnold fan.

Even fans who have read his biography have something to learn. And for those who have not been in for a ride. A superbly edited documentary that keeps the viewer's attention throughout. Not only informative but also motivational. Arnold showed us all that the American dream is possible. You can do anything as long as you set your mind to it. Arnold is a legend.

I've always liked him, but never knew much about him till now. I knew he was a bodybuilder, wealthy from real estate, was Governor and had an affair, but that was all I knew really. These filmmakers and editors were quite brilliant in their delivery of information about an extremely driven and engaging person who has truly done things his way, but realizes that he could never do it alone.

He is humble, observant, smart, self-reflective, honest in his look at family, his foibles and strengths, and an incredible person from start to finish. And he loves an array of animals! He has changed the world in so many varying ways, film, politics, climate change, sports, popular history and more, that it is outstanding that we have had the opportunity to live in the same time period as this powerhouse.

Bravo to the filmmakers, and thank you Arnold for your contributions to the world.

'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.

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.
