encounter with violence

First Blood is an action film directed by Ted Kotcheff and starring Sylvester Stallone. The film was released in the United States on October 22, 1982. It tells the story of Rambo, a veteran returning from the Vietnam War, who was repeatedly bullied by the sheriff in a small town, forcing him to flee into the mountains and forced to fight back against the police.

The first thing to declare is that this is not a film review in the strict sense, but more like a cognitive archaeology. Because of the violence-themed works, the logic is very simple, which makes it difficult to tell the story through the structure of the film itself. This logic is to compare the force value. The high one defeats the low one. Usually, the protagonist has a low value and gradually increases, and finally defeats the ultimate boss.

Today's superhero movies don't even need this process, they just play directly and apply special effects directly. Why make it into a certain universe? It is because they are all acquaintances and form gangs, so there is no need to introduce the background to the audience. Technological advances have made the cost of visual effects much lower and can cover most of the viewing time.

I first saw this movie in the VCR days, but I was too young to remember where I watched it or who showed it to me. I only remember the words Stallone's first drop of blood, that is, the super-muscular strong man fights and kills.

I have more impression of Schwarzenegger, he also played a lot of special forces. In 1987 he played Major Dutch in "Predator 1". It is said that after Stallone starred in the "Rocky" series, there was a joke in Hollywood that Rocky had no rivals on earth, and his next enemy could only be aliens. It was inspired by this joke that Thomas The brothers wrote the script for Predator, which then starred Schwarzenegger.

First Blood quotes

  • Teasle: [after dropping off Rambo outside the city limits] If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.

  • Trautman: You picked the wrong man to push.

    Teasle: No, Trautman. HE picked the wrong man!

    Trautman: That boy's a *heart attack*! He may be the best the Special Forces ever trained. Anything *you're* gonna throw at him, he's been through a hundred times worse! In WORSE places than this!
