There are figures in Hollywood who, far beyond their presence on the screen, have captured the public’s favor due to their charisma and the stories that accompany them. This is undoubtedly the case with Sylvester Stallone, an action hero famous for Rocky and Rambo, but who has become much more than just an acting star throughout his history.
Since his childhood, Stallone has had a tough life, and it is widely known how difficult it was for him to make the first Rocky movie with himself as the protagonist. However, ever since he entered the scene, he has never stopped growing, and at 77 years old, he has received the tribute he deserves with the documentary Sly, available on Netflix.
A different documentary about Sylvester Stallone
“His love for cinema emerged as an escape from a difficult childhood. In this documentary, Sylvester Stallone tells the story of how he became a Hollywood legend.” This is how Netflix describes the documentary that has been gaining the most popularity on the platform lately. In its 106 minutes of duration, the Rambo actor takes a comprehensive look back at his life until the present moment.
Drama, humor, and the action he is known for come together in this special that serves as a tribute to one of the greatest legends in the history of modern cinema. Undoubtedly, today we wouldn’t be the same without Rocky and many other characters Stallone has portrayed. But the actor faced numerous obstacles, and now the audience is returning the favor.
