Movie Examination: First Blood - Totally Amazing Action Movie
We all love a good story about an underdog, who is wronged, and fights back in a way that makes the little guy sit up and cheer. Especially if the underdog is an out of his luck character whose only redeeming quality is his resourcefulness and his adherence to his principles, principles we all wish we had. "First Blood" is such a movie.
Our fable commences with a vagabond, a veteran of the Vietnam opposition traveling into a little town. On the outside of town, he is met with some police force who tell him that his sort is not acceptable in this city. Drifters are not allowed, as they are perceived as vermin who will drain the cities wealth without giving anything back. After giving him the caution, the law leave him, and think that is that.
Nevertheless, our central 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 indicate any harm, and he hasn't even cracked any laws. He just required something to eat, and a warm place to sleep. He may seem a little slow, but we feel for him, as the police appear to be mistreating him.
Then there is a confrontation, and the police chief steps over the line. And vaguely injures this seemingly big brute. Drawing primary 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 decidedly qualified eradicator, and well outfitted to cope with any kind of conflict, 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 close by hills, and immediately finds himself in his element. Skilled to outlive, to hound, and to kill. 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 conflict. The police incorrectly consider he is there to defend 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 follow John Rambo through the backwoods, and watch him fight 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 instance of extraordinary filmmaking, acting, and directing. - 2361
