(qtd. in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuckland \u0026amp; Elsaesser: 1). I will analyse the film Collateral Damage, directed by Andrew\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavis, in terms of its context and how it is portrayed technically. My aim is to show Arnold\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSchwarzenegger¿s development, how Collateral Damages represents a turning point in the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehistory of action movies Arnold took part in, and how he has changed from a muscle shirt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewearing daredevil and killing machine to a family man with moral values. Therefore, I will\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003estart to look at a couple of important action movies in which Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eleading role and after that, I will compare the differences of the former Arnold and the Arnold\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewe see in Collateral Damage. To realise this, I will focus on Schwarzenegger¿s behaviour and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe way, Andrew Davis represents the fire-fighter and his emotions. In the end, I will give a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eshort conclusion regarding Arnold¿s rise from rags to riches and how he represents an\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eirreplaceable icon not only in the history of action movies during the last three decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverybody knows the Australian guy ¿Arnie¿ alias Arnold Schwarzenegger. The first role in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe movie Hercules in New York owes Arnold his career as a bodybuilder and his enormous\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esize. Released in 1970, Arnold ¿ at this time known as Arnold Strong ¿ plays a mythological\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etoga clad Hercules. Arnold takes part in a weight-lifting competition; he becomes a wrestler,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erides his chariot through Times Square, descends into hell and gets mixed up with gangsters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to Collateral Damage, Arthur Allan Seidelman, the director of Hercules in New\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYork, focuses on Schwarzenegger¿s muscle mass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1982, John Milius creates the fantasy action movie Conan the Barbarian. Here, Arnold\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eportrays a bulldog and beefy giant who survives as sole human the strain of bondage. Conan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein the role of an invincible gladiator and snake killer, sweetened by two fisted action,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003espectacular fighting scenes and amours turn Arnold into the James Bond of the Middle Ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the first third of the film, Conan knocks out a camel with an aimed bash (0:38:02). His\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecruelty peaks out when he decollates Thulsa in front of his followers and raises his head like a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etrophy. Unlike Collateral Damage, Arnold takes much pleasure in fights and he seems to be a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elittle bit sadistic at this time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis most famous role is storied [...]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783640862948\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783640862948","offer_id":39426167079005,"sku":"9783640862948","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/d039eb16-861b-4606-8a44-649e9e08b090.jpg?v=1777784330","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/the-personal-development-of-arnold-schwarzenegger-and-how-he-changed-from-a-killing-machine-to-a-family-man-with-moral-values-von-dominik-lorenz","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
