"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 fable begins with a vagabond, a veteran of the Vietnam conflict wandering into a minor municipality. On the exterior of town, he is met with some police who tell him that his type is not appreciated in this city. Drifters are not permissible, as they are perceived as vermin who will drain the cities possessions without giving anything back. After giving him the caveat, the law leave him, and think that is that.
Yet, our hero, John Rambo, shows up once more in town, and is arrested. He gets booked, and thrown into the county lockup. But he doesn't mean any harm, and he hasn't yet shattered any laws. He just sought something to eat, and a temperate place to sleep. He may appear a little slow, but we feel for him, as the police appear to be mistreating him.
Then there is a crusade, and the police chief steps over the line. And vaguely injures this apparently big brute. Drawing primary blood, the sheriff has opened a can of worms he will quickly regret, likely for the rest of his life. Because John Rambo is a exceedingly skilled killer, and well prepared to cope with any kind of defiance, and come out on top.
This commences the center of the show. One lone man, John Rambo, is pushed into a trap, and he responds with the only way he knows how. He retreats into the close by hills, and promptly finds himself in his element. Trained to stay alive, to hunt, and to slaughter. The police promptly appreciate 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 suppose he is there to guard 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 irretrievable harm to the entire police force. He is there to save the law from Rambo, not the other way around. We go behind John Rambo through the backwoods, and watch him fight his own psychological demons in one unusual picture that has created one of he most well known action heroes of our time. If you haven't witnessed this movie, you must, as it is an example of astonishing filmmaking, acting, and directing. - 40730
