"First Blood": Only old-fashioned action movies have the real truth

Autumn 2022-04-23 07:01:27


I have never liked to watch films of field combat, action, and killing. Although "First Blood" is famous, it is also a vain name for me. With zero sleepiness, I accidentally flipped through "First Blood" on the client and took a look. No need to mention the story, what hit me was the real fight of Stallone's fist to the flesh in the film. Compared with the current special effects, blue backs, and keying, the "special effects" without technical assistance are only old-fashioned action films. to see.
Looking at Stallone in 1982, and thinking about "The Expendables 2", it is estimated that only Stallone is a muscular man who can last on the screen for more than 30 years. In the film, Rambo, played by Stallone, shows off the amazing survival skills of his special forces one by one. Everywhere will surprise me, and there will be a smile after the surprise. It is estimated that this is the endorphin reaction. At this moment, I experience the action movie. Power is deeper than walking into a movie and watching an American blockbuster. (Interjection, I don’t know why I think of Lamborghini when I hear Lambo, but the preciousness of Stallone can really compete with the rarity of Lamborghini in the eyes of the world) Off-road, wilderness survival, these are full of excitement and unknown, and the audience is waiting. What happens in a second. In particular, Rambo was trapped in the abandoned mine looking for the opening of the hole. In the dark, narrow, waist-high roadway, he had absolutely no idea what would happen in the next second. When a hungry mouse jumped on Rambo, I instinctively avoided it. I guess many, many people had the same reaction as me a long time ago, and this kind of curious adventure experience is still in play today. Fights in the mountains and cliffs are very real. If this is left at present, the treatment method must be indoor shooting, and then use a dazzling large special effect to make a very bluffing or very beautiful, in my opinion, it is very irresponsible effect. I can't help but sigh that this kind of action movie with punches to the flesh and piercing the blood can only be so real in that era.
In addition to Stallone's muscles, the biggest attraction of this film must be the one-to-many battle in the mountains and forests. The scene of forcibly shaving in the prison stimulated Rambo to recall the painful experience of being cut by the enemy in the Vietnam War, so he fled into the forest and started a showdown between primitive survival and civilized siege. Almost 4/5 of the space is about how Rambo competes with the sheriff. I was thinking that since Rambo's comrades have all died, then Rambo is completely unreasonable to fight against this group of police officers who don't know what to trust. What is the meaning of ? Obviously, surviving has long been an issue that he does not need to consider.
The irony of the film is quite strong, and it is estimated that this kind of ridicule about politics and orthodoxy cannot be achieved in China even now. According to the thinking of American soldiers, coming back alive is a victory, so a special forces soldier who came back alive did not get the respect he should have, but instead received suspicion, questioning, and contempt, so these people really need a lesson. "You dominate the town, and I am the king in the mountains." Rambo's warning came out of his mouth. This sentence means that in your "civilized society" and "ordered society", rights have the final say, but when it comes to the "savage primitive jungle", it is your ability to have the final say! Really happy to think of this!

PS: Regarding the idea of ​​"First Blood", Stallone's lines are too few. I think he is the hard-core "Golden Sentence King", except for "You dominate the town, I am the king in the mountains" above "Besides, "they forced me to shed the first drop of blood", this drop of blood revealed Rambo's painful history of the battlefield; seeing the death of blood, he hopes to stop the killing, and there will be no more murders in peaceful times, but the world always Beautiful without expectations. The first drop of blood after bidding farewell to the battlefield shattered Rambo's belief in the spirit of the American army; it also severed the ice of equality and freedom in the United States.
