As a classic screen image of a generation of action films: Rambo was once an idol worshipped by movie fans around the world (including Chinese movie audiences after the reform and opening up). With the image of an army killing god of one enemy, it once became the label of the US military.
The film begins with an elderly Rambo who returns to farm life. Rambo, who has a family-like relationship, is content to walk his horse every day. Unexpectedly, the criminals in Mexico got into trouble and kidnapped the lovely girl like a granddaughter, Rambo needs to go out again. Seeing this, many viewers will think that this is just a conventional rescue story.
But the development of the plot is not as good as the "Hurricane Rescue" has a happy cliché ending. The rescue operation failed, the girl died of drug overdose by the criminals after being abused by many people, and Rambo himself was also slashed by the criminals. In fact, this failed rescue was already hinted at at the beginning of the film. In the flash flood incident at the beginning of the film, he failed to save some civilians. When he blamed himself afterwards, he also talked about not saving his comrades during the Vietnam War, suggesting that subsequent rescues would also end in failure.
One of the plots is that Rambo's face was marked with two scars by criminals. This paragraph is not simple but only shows the madness of criminals. If you are familiar with the audience of the previous episodes, you know that Rambo's face was once slashed because of being captured and abused. It can be said that the opening made by the criminal has awakened his painful battlefield memories, and awakened the post-war stress disorder of a generation of military killing machines who have been enjoying the pastoral life. movie scene.
Of course, the final revenge scene is crisp and bloody. In Vietnam, Afghanistan, Thailand and other places, it is a piece of cake to kill a group of Mexican criminals in a generation of soldiers who have singled out military-level enemies. Rambo, who once fought guerrillas in the Vietnam War and the Vietnamese army, used the classic "tunnel warfare" strategy to wipe out the enemy.
Moreover, as a killing machine cultivated by the U.S. military, Rambo will never be sloppy in revenge killings. He doesn’t talk much, and his tricks point directly to the point. There is absolutely no human emotion on his face. (Of course, it may also be Stallone’s facial paralysis. expressionless), showing the obsessive-compulsive symptoms of a patient with post-war stress disorder.
In the end, the injured Rambo sat on the rocking chair again, and then jumped up and stepped onto the horse, symbolizing Lao Jiang's immortal ambition. Maybe Rambo will no longer be seen on the screen in the future. After all, the actor's age is no longer suitable for filming. We also hope that Rambo can really return to real life and forget the tragic life brought by war and killing.
