I was never a Stallone fan and I'd never thought I would utter, much less write this in a review but his words were profound and left me wishing this was twice as long as it was. I think a lot of this will be lost on anyone under 50 because it's largely about his regrets. Life up until 40 is all about addition and life after 40 is about subtraction. Time is brutal and callous, nothing punches harder than life, all things that people learn as time passes. Looking back at pictures of his kids and remembering what film he was making at the time and wishing he would have invested that time into real people(his family) and not movie characters is every dads regret. You can see the pain when he says all the stages of his kids lives that he misses and that time is the one thing that he can't get back. His ability to have that kind of vulnerability on film says a lot about him as a man. Maybe I just feel this way because I feel the same way when it comes to my life and children.
