"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 vagrant, a veteran of the Vietnam defiance drifting into a small town. On the outside of town, he is met with some law enforcement who tell him that his breed is not acceptable in this settlement. Drifters are not permissible, as they are perceived as vermin who will sap the cities possessions without giving anything back. After giving him the warning, the police leave him, and think that is that.
Still, our central character, John Rambo, shows up once more 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 shattered any laws. He just wanted something to gobble, and a warm 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 scuffle, and the police chief steps over the line. And vaguely injures this seemingly big brute. Drawing first blood, the sheriff has opened a can of worms he will shortly regret, likely for the rest of his life. Because John Rambo is a greatly trained destroyer, and well prepared to deal with any kind of resistance, and come out on top.
This starts the center of the movie. One lone man, John Rambo, is pressed into a trap, and he responds with the only way he knows how. He retreats into the nearby hills, and rapidly finds himself in his element. Qualified to stay alive, to hound, and to slaughter. The police promptly 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 conflict. The police mistakenly suppose he is there to protect 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 permanent harm to the entire police force. He is there to save the law from Rambo, not the other way around. We chase John Rambo through the boondocks, and watch him fight his own psychological demons in one unusual movie 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 amazing filmmaking, acting, and directing. - 40731
