(It must be said that the creation and appreciation of works of art are inherently subjective. Some people think that a flower is a symbol, while others think that it is just a flower. These are all subjective comments. What to say, unless you see the project plan they put on the table. I'm just sharing my personal feelings and opinions) ● Regarding the genre positioning of this series. I always feel that it should actually be a drama or even a romantic film, As for the action, it can even be regarded as a by-product. On the whole, this series is about the change of war on people. With the Vietnam War and the changes of the times as the background, it focuses on the lost fate of a veteran. In this way, it should be regarded as a drama, Take First Blood 1 as an example, I think it's already perfect, very complete, and a lot of dialogues between rambo and the colonel have made the central idea very clear (here it can be seen that Stallone is not a person who loves hazy), Moreover, the title of the film was originally called first blood, and the action elements were not too special. After the second sequel, it was changed to RAMBO, named after the male protagonist, and the action became the main element. It's cool, the third part is also the same, the fourth part has less action, and the fifth part simply saves the fighting scene at the end. What I want to say is, if you remove the fighting part, you will find that this is still a complete The story, the point is the same: the darkness of war and the changes it has made to people, this veteran was taken away by the war, all her loved ones died, and even his soul was "lost" on the way back, that is In such a story, every chapter is similar but very touching and beautiful. You can't say that because the roses are all similar, it will be boring to watch too much. It's not like this. ●Understanding of war. This movie has a very good understanding of war. Personality, or very different. The war in Rambo's eyes is not only cruel, but also very dark. Darkness is different, cruelty can be forced or helpless, but darkness is not, it is out of human evil, that's all , evil is evil, there is no mercy, there is no helpless excuse for human nature, evil is a part of human nature itself (or a part of people), as rambo said: there is no reason, it just happens, war is war , it is a dirty, despicable and ugly thing that can't be purer. To end it, it can only be done in the same way. It can be said that such values ​​are not in line with the lofty war theme of compassion and compassion in today's world.Therefore, our rambo has always been ruthless and merciless when dealing with wicked people. Even the action of starting is extremely savage. There is no "technical". Killing is killing, it is pure killing you, fighting and fighting is nothing compared to The bottom is not at the same level at all. Especially the fourth part has his own unique understanding of war rambo: "One generation dies, the next generation starts again, nothing will change!". Action part, needless to say, flesh and blood The love of flying cult fans, especially since it developed and even became a heavy hit. It has been a major attraction since the second part, and it can even be said to be the primary attraction for many audiences (men), whatever you want. Eighty-eight, the wicked must be treated with evil, and the most brutal way is to cut the eight pieces into a mashed meat.

●Ending: What kind of ending is this in the end? What is the end of this long story? My personal understanding is: this is a tragedy, "I live in a world of death, watching my loved ones die", a war traumatized veteran lost himself forever (this is what he said) , its soul can no longer be healed, that's it. Summary: On the whole, this series is a drama with emotions or the hero's personal journey as the main theme, supplemented by action elements, and the focus is still on the story itself. , maybe this can also explain why Stallone didn't cover the action films in 4 and 5 (it shouldn't be difficult for him to shoot all the way to the end), especially 5, it can be said that a large chapter is indeed about his life, among which Some of the monologues are concise and sharp. When his daughter closed his eyes, he muttered sadly: "Why not me?" He expressed all his thoughts in one sentence, and the gentlemen couldn't help but be stunned. In short, as the number one action movie Blood Drops 5 is great, but if you taste the pure plot part from the perspective of a romantic film, it is also very good, we see the darkness of war, and see the loneliness, loneliness and sadness of a veteran in a big background, he He is also a flesh-and-blood person. This sadness is reflected in his scars, and even more so in his melancholy eyes. Every move in his daily life is the same as the action part. There are many dialogues, pictures and renderings. These details must have been carefully studied by Stallone. Considered, it is worth savoring carefully.
