Sylvester Stallone is an ideal choice to direct a remake of Death Wish

After reading my opponent's response I must admit I found his argument quite snobby and I think he has misunderstood what my argument is about. In the first round CON argued that the negative reviews of the last 3 Rambo films and the negative reviews of The Expendables were ruined because of Stallone's involvement. CON said: "In Rambo II and Rambo III, Stallone took on most of the writing himself. In Rambo IV, Stallone took on the writing as well as the directing. Stallone is not a brilliant writer and is not a brilliant director." REBUTTAL: THIS DEBATE IS NOTHING TO DO WITH STALLONE'S WRITING SKILLS… IT IS ENTIRELY ABOUT HIS DIRECTING. My argument is that Stallone will be good to DIRECT a remake of Death Wish. Furthermore the title of this debate is "Sylvester Stallone is an ideal choice to direct a remake of Death Wish" and the key word in that title was "DIRECT". In the website source provided in the first round which was: http://www.beyondhollywood.com... You will see that there is a sentence that says "he'll be working from a screenplay by Michael Ferris and John Brancato". I think it clearly states that Stallone will really only be Directing and Starring in the film, NOT writing it! Now if you think logically, what makes a film a ‘Good' film is normally a good storyline for a film. A film can have a bad storyline to follow and end up being disliked by audiences, but it can have brilliant directing. ************************************************************************************* CONCLUSION OF CON'S ROUND 1 RESPONSE: Now in the first section of Con's round which Con titled "1. Stallone is a bad director" all of the film reviews information that Con wrote is IRRELEVANT in this debate because as far as I could tell it was about Stallone's writing involvement. The only information I saw that opposed Stallone's directing was the bit that said "[Stallone has] cheesy CGI buildings collapsing, an obviously animated wall of fire". Anyway I think it very unlikely a remake of Death wish will feature things like this, so things like that should of no concern. In the second section of Con's round which Con titled "2. Other potential directors" that entire section is IRRELEVANT in this debate. I am not arguing that Stallone is the best director for the remake of Death Wish, but an IDEAL one. There may indeed be a lot more directors to choose from, but they would need to be WILLING to direct the film as well be nominated for it. Sylvester Stallone seems to be the only person so far who is willing to make a Death Wish Remake. I'm sure Sylvester Stallone is certainly in the top 20 of the ideal list. Voters please judge this debate on the information that is relevant. ************************************************************************************* WHY WOULD STALLONE BE A GOOD DIRECTOR? Now finally I will explain why I think Stallone will be a good director for the Death wish remake… Death Wish is a classic morality tale, where you take a civilised man and take away everything that matters to him so he becomes primitive again. In the film these thugs follow the Protagonist's family to their apartment, burst in and trash the apartment. They search for money but find only a few dollars and then hooligans then rape the Protagonist's daughter and kill the Protagonist's wife. Later on when the Protagonist's learns of what happened to his family he is Devastated and he is told by police that the likelihood of catching the criminals is small. And so the Protagonist develops a Death Wish against thugs and criminals. Now making a film like this with Sylvester Stallone's style of directing will be ideal. It will need to require a disturbing and revengeful atmosphere, kind of like the disturbing and revengeful atmosphere Sylvester Stallone made in Rambo 4. Watch the first video (that I provided above) to see Stallone's skill... http://www.youtube.com... In the video clip we see poor innocent people being raped, pillaged and killed for unnecessary causes and this scene delivers a powerful atmosphere that feels very disturbing and revengeful. Sylvester Stallone did a good job directing this scene and it adds weight to why he is an ideal choice to direct the Death Wish plot (I explained earlier) into a film… ************************************************************************************* In continuation of the Death wish plot… later on the Protagonist obtains a nickel-plated revolver. He pockets the gun and goes out on strolls. He encounters muggers, and ex-convicts that attempt to rob him at gunpoint. And so instead of surrendering his money to thugs, he instead pulls out his gun and shoots them dead. Now directing of scenes like this will likely require fast-paced gun withdrawing and shooting and again Sylvester Stallone has this directing skill. I will once again use a clip from Rambo 4 to show Sylvester Stallone's directing skill. Now please watch the second video (that I provided above) … http://www.youtube.com... In this video you will see Rambo killing four villains super fast on a boat before they can hurt Rambo's people. The directing skill seen in the video will be ideal for directing the continuation Death Wish plot I explained earlier. I don't think the Death Wish scenes should be filmed exactly the same way as seen in that scene from Rambo 4, but with a similar atmosphere to it which Stallone can amend to suit the film.
