does Sylvester Stallone use of method acting make him an auteur

Speaker: An auteur can be so invested in the roles that they play and you may miss the piece of method acting that they care using I.E. it can simply be adding a limp to the character they're playing. The example of when we see Sylvester do this is when he has got an injury on Rambo and he is stumbling around. (Item 10)

speaker:
Sylvester Stallone is an American actor and director who has made many films in the action genre. He is well known for films such as Rambo and Rocky in which he showed his specific style that has made him well known world wide.

Play clip of age interview (min 1:45-1:50) (Item 5)

Speaker:
This is a prime example of how Sylvester Stallone continues to defy the odds keeping to his fitness routines at the late age of 60. It shows how Sylvester can use his method acting in the way of implementing his real life into the film as he is playing a sick older fighter, despite being used to playing the hero in these types of films. It shows how Stallone uses Stanislavski's techniques all throughout his acting. (Item 6)

Speaker:

With a film like rocky, Stallone has to adapt his acting style and film style, whilst still maintaining his auteur style of an all action hero, however in creed we see how Stallone turns this character to the younger generation. (Item 7) This is not the only time that we see Stallone use his method acting to maintain a character. We see a lot of overcoming he odds within his films and this is exemplified in his role in Copland. For this role Stallone had to gain 40 pounds, a complete opposite to his lifestyle we have come accustomed too, yet he is still able to keep his Auteur style whilst making the character relatable to the audience as he looks like the everyday man in this film. (Item 9)

Biography.com " A lot of your fans may be surprised to hear you say you can relate to these aspects of Rocky" "Some of it I can relate to some of it I can understand" (Item 4)

Speaker: This quote is important as it shows how Sylvester uses the Method acting of Uta Hagen where he you use your own experiences to build a deeper connection with the character. This is because he states how he knows what its like to give up on the world.


Play clip from Rambo to support the arguments : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQxD_aBP5U0 (Item 3)

Show newspaper article headline " Fat role Sylvester Stallone goes from 'Rocky' to chunky for his heavyweight part in 'Cop Land' (Item 8)

Speaker: This shows Sylvester Stallone's use of method acting as people have come accustomed to seeing Stallone as a body builder and now in the film Copland he is shown as someone who is more relatable and the quote shows how Stallone is adapting his everyday life in order to fit into the role of the character that he is playing.

Show the trailer from the film Copland (Item 1)

Speaker: As you can see this film is clearly evidence of how Sylvester Stallone uses method acting due to the fact that he is considerably unhealthier than what we have become accustomed to with him. This shows he is a method actor as he has completely changed his lifestyle that he has always lived in order to get into the role of the character.

Voice into acting book quote " "In the organic approach to performance we aim to integrate impulse, language, mind, body and voice so that we recreate a human experience in performance that is coming form the whole human being, not just the conscious brain"
(Item 11)

Speaker: This is a key quote as it shows how despite many people seeing Sylvester as a one way actor, he can do many different styles of acting and in fact he is underappreciated for his acting skills. This is because in multiple films we see him change his tone appearance and his mental state in order to further a role and to give a better viewing experience.
