First Blood!

The action movies of the 1980s are memories that our generation will never forget. Maybe we were young at that time and couldn't remember that much, and even after watching it, we couldn't even remember the name of the movie. But those familiar and even counterintuitive scenes have become deep memories in our minds.

I've been laughing at the red madness and the eight demos that the post-60s miss, because in my eyes it's uninteresting. I'm also laughing at the post-90s Audition and CF, because I think they're games played only by idiots. I also allow you to laugh at our memories, those of the action movies of the 80s: punches to the flesh, flesh and blood, cars that easily explode, and bullets from the protagonist's gun. Even when we are ridiculed, we do not want to forget the memories of our most carefree and happy years.

Therefore, when playing Dota, when a loud "First Blood" is heard, there will always be people who will be inexplicably excited.

Now the dying Stallone is still alive and well, and he can take a group of old guys to play "The Expendables", and he has filmed one after another. Although the plot is rotten and old-fashioned, we are still willing to watch it. It is undoubtedly an elegy to our passing years.

"First Blood" has made many parts, and the first one is unique. After all, the latter films are all heroic adventures, which are essentially the same as other heroic films. And this one is the American version of Liangshan.

———————————————————————Spoiler under the dividing line

————————————————Veteran Rambo was caught by the dog officer Sheriff for no reason at the police station, and was Convicted of vagrancy, beaten and insulted. Unbearable Rambo resisted, defeated the police and fled into the mountains.

The sheriff led a team of police officers to search the mountains, and wanted to put Rambo dead. But Rambo was a well-trained special forces fighter. They fought all over the place all the way, and one by one they were injured and retired. In the end, the police had to bombard Rambo's hideout with rockets.

Rambo escaped from the abandoned mine, and was dominated by anger, he robbed an army train, and rushed back to the town where the sheriff was located overnight. He blew up shops and gas stations, smashed the police station, and killed the dog sheriff with his gun.

Rambo's old company commander came to persuade Rambo to surrender. At this time, Rambo was crying like a child, and he was finally willing to tell all his pain: the former fighting hero can't even find an ordinary job now . And all the time I think of those comrades who sacrificed and their own suffering. When he returned to his homeland, he would be discriminated against and looked down upon, and he would be punished for the US government that started the war. Just wanting to fill his stomach in this small town, he has been treated inhumanly, which is why he did these outrageous things.

Rambo finally put down his weapon and walked out of the room with the old company commander. It seems that he did not die, but embarked on a new journey.

————————————————————————————————————————————————

How many people survived on the battlefield, but eventually died under their own slaughtering knives. The Rambo will never be the first such example, nor will it be the last. What really drives this tough guy crazy is this sinful war and a ruthless society.

Rewatching the film now, I still get a lot of heartache about Rambo's dilemma. When his troubles got bigger and bigger, it was more and more worth worrying about. The visual impact of the sky-high flames that blew up the gas station was extremely strong, and it was later discovered that it was playing with fire with a real gas station. Although it is not as gorgeous as computer special effects, it will never feel visual fatigue, which is the difference between live-action shooting and CG.

In fact, until now, the United States is still playing the role of the world's policeman, interfering in the politics of other countries from time to time. I believe that the people today will be a lot more rational, after all, those American soldiers are also victims themselves.

    It is the tolerance of southern Italians and niggas that led to the decline of America!

    8.0/10 points. Rewatch, 4K restored Blu-ray. The second part, I watched the videotape on the company's closed-circuit television when I was a child, and it shocked me when I was young. At that time, I also watched Schwarzenegger's "Lone in the Dragon Pool" and "The Predator". The first time I re-watched it this time, I didn't have much of an impression. . . Haven't I seen it? Or is it too small to have a big scene so I forget it? . . . I saw the boss in "CSI: Miami", so young and delicate, with red or yellow hair. . . I just watched the fifth part and found that in the first part, Stallone is really young, but his mouth is still so crooked. . .

First Blood quotes

  • Deputy Lester: Listen, Will, you sure picked one hell of a guy to mess around with. This came over the teletype a few minutes ago: John Rambo is a Vietnam vet. He's a Green Beret, Congressional Medal of Honor. Guy's a war hero!
