Story: A fresh look at one of the most recognizable action heroes of our time.
Review: Arnold Schwarzenegger’s influence on the international fitness and entertainment industry is undeniable. The sport of bodybuilding might not have progressed as far had it not been for the dominance of Austrian Oak in the 70s. But “Ahnold” became a household name in Hollywood with iconic roles that redefined pop culture. The 7-time Mr. Olympia winner did the unthinkable by serving as the Governor of California from 2003 to 2011. However, this 3-part docu-series shows how Schwarzenegger’s sheer grit always propelled him through adversity to achieve what was previously thought impossible. ,
Divided into three episodes based on his careers in bodybuilding, acting and politics, ‘Arnold’ presents the commandos as an unstoppable force of nature. Despite his tough upbringing with a father with PTSD, Schwarzenegger’s sheer will saw him eventually conquer the sport as a budding bodybuilder. But he hasn’t shied away from some controversy throughout his many careers, with the first episode seeing him openly discussing steroid use and the role they played in his grueling training. The third episode also explores his extramarital affair, which led to his divorce from Maria Shriver in 2011. Schwarzenegger acknowledges that his family was deeply hurt by his mistakes and appears remorseful.
This is one of the few times he comes across with some remorse, as most of the series focuses on his huge achievements. Schwarzenegger’s outlook on life has been about forward motion – finding the next big challenge and overcoming it through determination. It’s inspiring, no doubt about it; After all, becoming a worldwide action star with barely any training as an actor and a thick Austrian accent is no small feat. Schwarzenegger’s headstrong, almost business-like approach defies thoughtful reflection. His upbringing taught him that being vulnerable was a sign of weakness, yet there are a few instances where the façade pulls back to reveal the Terminator’s more human side. Beyond it all, though, his determination is undeniably magnetic, proving why he’ll continue to be an icon in and out of the spotlight.
