Filmography of Arnold Schwarzenegger: from "Hercules" to "Terminator" and on

Arnold Schwarzenegger was born on 30.07.1947 in Austria (Graz). The actor's surname, Schwarzenegger, is translated from German as a "black plowman" and is very often pronounced incorrectly. In order for the audience not to suffer by pronouncing his difficult surname, he decided to create a pseudonym for Strong, which is "strong" in English.

Recalling the beginning of his career, Schwarzenegger remarks how curiously he was confused and distorted his name. Even there was a case when he was called Arnold Schwarzschnitzel.

These are the basic data from the life of Arnold Schwarzenegger, an amazing person who is known all over the world.

His successes actor Arnold Schwarzenegger owes, above all, to himself, namely his own willpower, endurance, dedication and love of work.

Childhood

At one time, Arnold Schwarzenegger was a very vulnerable, rather weak teenager. He was very enthusiastic about bodybuilding for a few hours a day. As a result, I got what I wanted. Height - 186 cm, chest volume 145 cm, waist - 79 centimeters, biceps - 56 centimeters. Arnold showed the same perseverance in later life.

Arnold was born into a family of a simple policeman who served near Graz. The family lived very poorly. After graduating from high school, young Arnold has already achieved some success in sports. After that I proudly joined the army.

Moving to the USA

Soon Arnold Schwarzenegger was disappointed with his military career and immigrated to the United States in 1968. Here he actively promotes bodybuilding, writes a lot of teaching aids on this topic, participates in competitions. Earned money invests in real estate. In the early 1970s, Arnold Schwarzenegger became a sport legend. Directors pay attention to him. After a while, Arnold Schwarzenegger's films become real hits.

The path of the star

There was no triumphal ascent to the Hollywood Olympus. This is due to the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger did not have the experience and the basics of the acting and looked modest and confused on the screen. He was also very concerned about the German accent. The fact that he had good external data was not enough. Even the work with R. Altman and B. Rapelfon did not particularly help him.

But success still came. This was the first film by Arnold Schwarzenegger, recognized as successful, "Pumping steel muscles" (director D. Butler). It was a screen version of the book that the actor himself wrote. Glory and national recognition came to Schwarzenegger after the picture of Milius "Conan the Barbarian", where he played a kind savage who defended justice against the backdrop of fantastic scenery. Professional director, great script and skill of Arnold contributed to the creation of a very bright masterpiece. Subsequent films with Arnold Schwarzenegger of this series were less interesting, since they were filmed by other directors. "Conan the Destroyer" and "Red Sondzya" had a huge commercial success, but in many respects repeated the previous picture.

Thus, the filmography of Arnold Schwarzenegger expanded. But the achievements of the actor are not limited to this.
