Running With Arnold

Posted by barryb on June 28, 2011 at 07:07:27

This documentary on Arnold Schwartzenegger's life and career is clearly biased against him, but presents much interesting and damning material. I found it to be very well done and riveting from start to finish. Arnold has remarkably strong drive and has led quite an outstanding life. Among other details illuminated on Arnold:

Nazi connections
Womanizing
Woman groping
Taking part in gang bangs as a bodybuilder
Drug use
Claiming to be immune from special interests, yet taking an enormous amount of special interest money, even when there was a conflict of interest and he was personally tied to the inductry financially (for example, vetoing an anti-steroid bill while taking $5M from bodybuilding magazines.)

Most interestingly of all (for me), the movie pointed out his connections with Ken Lay and suggests the idea that the Republicans conspired with Enron to devastate California and then call for a recall of Grey Davis. This idea was presented in the great documentary "Enron, The Smartest Guys in the Room", but but without many details on Arnold and his campaign.
