Sylvester Stallone

This piece about Stallone was interesting. I was very surprised how smart he sounds. I mean his vocabulary is rather extensive, I didn’t know a bunch of the words he said. I thought that was cool just because people in his realm (macho-wacho men) are stereotypically “stupid”, but Stallone wasn’t like that at all. He had real determination in his responses to Susan Faludi. Some of the things he said were kind of what I would expect. Just the stuff about he is a stereotype and people only see him one way and see men certain ways and bla bla bla. Anyways, I would have liked to hear him talk about how he is different or maybe talk about his life as an action hero. He made it seem like being who he has been for the past 30-40 years has been bad and a bad influence. However I believe that a person of his celeb magnitude holds a lot of power to shape young minds. I mean yes, his movies all pretty much involve the decapitation of people and shooting up stuff and whatever but he could still try to show young men and boys what it takes to truly be a hero. I don’t know. I didn’t always understand what he was talking about in is responses. It did seem a little scrambled and random, but overall it was interesting but kind of boring. I just feel like his responses weren’t the most clear compared to other interviews I have read. I’m not trying to take away from his intelligence, but I just didn’t necessarily understand what was going on at all times. I don’t know…
