a man's war

Rambo doesn't think he will win, but he needs this war, returning from the glorious and painful Vietnam War, not flowers and applause, but abandonment and condemnation. All the former comrades in arms are gone, no one can fight with him, no one can cover for him, the red Chevrolet is just a beautiful vision in wartime, back to the United States, waiting for him is endless loneliness, this loneliness is too painful!

So the arrogant sheriff in the town became the fuse. In the film, Lan Bo did not intend to disobey the sheriff, but the departure of his friend made him even more lonely. But the overbearing sheriff's clothes annoyed the domineering sheriff. The story has not yet officially started. Lan Bo did not act out of line. Until the death of the deputy sheriff, he was still sober, but the sheriff's repeated pressure touched his bottom line. :they draw the first blood!

So Rambo went back to the era of the war, he took it as a real war, and the enemy, to be honest, he didn't know, maybe the sheriff, maybe everything that stood in his way The police, and even all Americans. I have to admire the sheriff. In the face of the tragic casualties, he did not back down, he still went his own way, he angered Rambo, but obviously the sheriff also thought that Rambo angered him. At the beginning of the war, it was a piece of cake for a well-trained Rambo to deal with a few policemen, but he didn't lose his mind. I don't know what kind of person is facing him. Lan Bo said that you dominate the mountains and I am the king did not wake up the sheriff, so the situation became more and more out of control.

The arrival of Trotman did not alleviate the problem. Rambo could obey the order but he wouldn't. The sheriff wouldn't let him go. Well, if that's the case, let him go. Rambo slayed the town.

At this time, a plot was added to the play, perhaps to show that Lambo is still a normal person (it should not be to reflect his sense of humor), Lambo said to the driver: look at the road, don't look at my face, that's how the car accident happened Yes, I secretly thought that this was a failure. The ending of Lan Bo is a normal person is enough to explain, and what should be done in the play is to accumulate strength, suppress Lan Bo's emotions, and finally release it in the ending episode.

At this point in the film, Lan Bo just had a conflict with the police, but when he came to the town, the nature seemed to have changed. Lan Bo frantically destroyed, and went to find the sheriff. Dead, but Rambo is also an ordinary person. He dominates the town, and I am king on the mountain. In the town, Rambo is surrounded, and Trotman's timely appearance seems to solve the problem. In the first half of the film, Lan Bo did not have a few lines. We should feel that he is a tough guy now, but a dramatic scene appeared. Facing his old comrade-in-arms and boss, Lan Bo opened his heart and recalled his own life. Comrades-in-arms, recalling the promises of the old days, recalling the days when someone was accompanied, reflects the loneliness and loneliness of today, the civilian life is nothing, the experience of life and death in the Vietnam War, in exchange for the misunderstanding of the people and the anti-war sentiment, no one can Give him support and help. Lan Bo is extremely lonely. Seeing this, he can't help but burst into tears. Lan Bo is an ordinary person, not a murderer of iron blood. Like a child, a helpless child!

I really don't want to see this movie as an action movie. The emotional impact it brought to me is by no means comparable to a few romance dramas. There is an indescribable feeling for Rambo. He is a hero, but he can't find the battlefield. This is his own war. It has nothing to do with the sheriff, and has nothing to do with the Vietnam War.

  • State Police Capt. Dave Kern: Why didn't you leave the kid alone in the first place?

    Teasle: Dammit, Dave, you think this kid just waltzed into town, announced he was a Medal Of Honor winner, and then I just leaned on him for the hell of it? I tried to do him a favor, I treated him like he was one of my neighbor's kids. I did my job, Dave, I booked him for vagrancy and resisting arrest.

    State Police Capt. Dave Kern: You seem pretty motivated on this one.

    Teasle: Why don't you go out there and take a look at what's left of my men? You'll see how motivated I am, Dave, and if that doesn't do it for you why don't you go have a talk with Art Gault's widow?

    State Police Capt. Dave Kern: All right, Will, I read you. Listen, I got twenty-five men I can bring up from Monroe.

    Teasle: [calming down] All right Dave, I can use them. We've got a lot of ground to cover.
