"First Blood," starring Sylvester Stallone, is one of the rare movies that has created a character that is today known the world over. Telling the tale of a Vietnam vet with special skills who is unwittingly pushed into a corner by a stereotypical redneck sheriff, this is one action movie that is a must see. Not only does it have fantastic action seems, but also a tense psychological dramatic element as well.
Our allegory commences with a wanderer, a veteran of the Vietnam defiance traveling into a tiny settlement. On the outside of town, he is met with some police force who tell him that his class is not appreciated in this town. Drifters are not permitted, as they are perceived as vermin who will undermine the cities resources without giving anything back. After giving him the caveat, the police leave him, and think that is that.
Still, our character, John Rambo, shows up another time in town, and is arrested. He gets booked, and thrown into the county lockup. But he doesn't suggest any harm, and he hasn't yet cracked any laws. He just sought something to consume, and a temperate place to sleep. He may appear a little slow, but we feel for him, as the police seem to be mistreating him.
Then there is a crusade, and the police chief steps over the line. And vaguely injures this ostensibly big brute. Drawing primary blood, the sheriff has opened a can of worms he will rapidly regret, likely for the rest of his life. Because John Rambo is a vastly educated eradicator, and well outfitted to handle any kind of opposition, and come out on top.
This begins the nucleus of the picture. One lone man, John Rambo, is pushed into a corner, and he responds with the only way he knows how. He retreats into the adjacent hills, and rapidly finds himself in his element. Educated to outlive, to hound, and to execute. The police speedily comprehend that they have their hands full, and bring in as many officers as they can.
Then an army Colonel shows up, and claims that he was Rambo's commanding officer during the Vietnam combat. The police mistakenly believe he is there to look after his charge from the police. But they have it the other way around. Rambo's CO is there to bring him back before he does irreparable harm to the entire police force. He is there to save the police force from Rambo, not the other way around. We go behind John Rambo through the backwoods, and watch him combat his own psychological demons in one rare picture that has created one of he most well known action heroes of our time. If you haven't seen this movie, you must, as it is an example of unbelievable filmmaking, acting, and directing. - 40723
