The deep theme of the film - against war and calling for peace

Rambo symbolizes Vietnam and the small town police station symbolizes the United States.

You dominate the town, I am king in the forest - this line was said by Rambo to the sheriff. At that time, the sheriff was subdued by Rambo on a tree, which means Vietnam's response to the US aggression. You are a good city in the United States. What are you doing to stay in the woods and invade Vietnam? In the city your weapon is the king, but in the jungle guerrilla warfare I am the master. A group of policemen fought with Rambo in the jungle, showing that the US military was trapped in the quagmire of the Vietnam War and could not extricate itself. The United States is a country of immigrants, there is no nationality, so there is no cohesion.

Even if a great country has advanced weapons, no matter how developed its economy is, it will never be able to defeat a backward nation. Young people must have national consciousness but not only national consciousness.

    The title of the film is very aunt, in fact, it refers to the great aunt that men dream of - the loss and recovery of a veteran's identity, which is also a major feature of the personal heroism of American movies, and the sexual meaning contained in it is very interesting. Of course, the government that does not let men shed the "first blood" is not just the United States, but also enemies, dissidents, opposites, others, and even women. Therefore, the loss and recovery of those men's identities, those bloody rites of passage, constitute the theme of this series. Just as a man has to prove that being a man is nothing more than sex and violence, who can fight, loot, kill, use guns, roam around, do many things that the government can't do, and have sex with many women—this is It is a man's myth, a rogue world that belongs to men. In short, whoever doesn't let me have my first period, I will let anyone else orgasm!

    Stallone's classic, although I feel that the scene is not as big as the later, but the feeling of a standard American blockbuster is still very strong

First Blood quotes

  • Trautman: You did everything to make this private war happen. You've done enough damage. This mission is over, Rambo. Do you understand me? This mission is over! Look at them out there! Look at them! If you won't end this now, they will kill you. Is that what you want? It's over Johnny. It's over!

    Rambo: Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win! But somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world and I see all those maggots at the airport, protesting me, spitting. Calling me baby killer and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me, huh? Who are they? Unless they've been me and been there and know what the hell they're yelling about!

    Trautman: It was a bad time for everyone, Rambo. It's all in the past now.

    Rambo: For *you*! For me civilian life is nothing! In the field we had a code of honor, you watch my back, I watch yours. Back here there's nothing!

    Trautman: You're the last of an elite group, don't end it like this.

    Rambo: Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment, back here I can't even hold a job *parking cars*!

  • Rambo: We were in this bar in Saigon and this kid comes up, this kid carrying a shoe-shine box. And he says "Shine, please, shine!" I said no. He kept askin', yeah, and Joey said "Yeah." And I went to get a couple of beers, and the box was wired, and he opened up the box, fucking blew his body all over the place. And he's laying there, he's fucking screaming. There's pieces of him all over me, just...

    [Takes off his bandolier]

    Rambo: like this, and I'm tryin' to pull him off, you know, my friend that's all over me! I've got blood and everything and I'm tryin' to hold him together! I'm puttin'... the guy's fuckin' insides keep coming out! And nobody would help! Nobody would help! He's saying, sayin' "I wanna go home! I wanna go home!" He keeps calling my name! "I wanna go home, Johnny! I wanna drive my Chevy!" I said "With what? I can't find your fuckin' legs! I can't find your legs!"
