when you see the name "Second Drop of Blood" in childhood, you will naturally think of the famous "First Drop of Blood" (the English name "Son Of Rambow" is the same). The film is indeed closely related to "First Blood". The little protagonist in the film, Will, saw "First Blood" by chance, and was deeply shocked by Rambo's image and his heroic deeds. He hit it off with fellow buddy Carter and started making their own Rambo movie.
The child's Rambo selfie, childish and extremely cute, with an absolutely persistent and serious attitude, and pure and dreamy imagination, is a rare and pleasant time in the rigorous and boring real life. Although this is also the main line of the film, the film does not use this imagination arbitrarily. It is not purely to create a children's paradise for fun, or to subvert the rebellion of the adult world, but to alternate between dreams and reality, and constant accidents happen. Join in. Fantasy, dream, friendship, family affection, curiosity, betrayal, courage, growth, and involving religion and education are not complicated, but appear real.
Will lives in a doctrinal family, can't listen to music, watch TV, and can't play with other children who are not members of the church. The only sustenance is painting, decorating childhood with lines and colors, and using imaginary characters to relieve loneliness. In fact, the more confinement, the more curiosity, and the greater the so-called "danger". When he met Carter, who was not very friendly at first, he was also unsuspecting, warm and grateful. And when he accidentally saw "First Blood", a brand new world, an unprecedented shock, a distant Rambo became his most intimate idol. He wanted to be Rambo's son, and then he had the opportunity to make a movie, and Will's paintings, the imagination that had accumulated over a long period of time, also had a place.
Rambo not only gave Will a new sustenance, but also the influence of the character's spirit, or the courage inspired in his unconscious pursuit of himself, made him finally rebel against religion. At the same time, he has also experienced the recognition and test of friendship, and behind the joy, a faint heaviness is boosting his growth.
Carter, on the other hand, was a typical "bad student". He often does not attend classes, but also likes to sabotage the whole teacher, and often goes to the supermarket to steal things. According to the current concept, what children do is actually a direct expression of their demands. Carter's behavior is a typical example. His performance is that the so-called neglected individual wants to emerge his existence, attract the attention of others, and then expect to be deeply cared for.
This is indeed the case. Carter lives with his older brother, his parents are not around, he acts as his brother's commander. But he has a lot of affection for his brother, he is willing to do anything, the only relative by his side is his last support. The contrast between these, or the grief and helplessness between them, caused his actions outside the home.
But he is actually an ambitious, brave, loyal and affectionate boy. When he showed it through normal channels and let others realize his true self, that warm feeling came. He was very mature before, but this also completed another kind of growth, or a kind of regression.
Although this is not a movie about asana memories, there are still a lot of nostalgic memories, be it Rambo or childhood. Especially for the elderly.
In childhood, at most, it is the repetition of the mood and the concern for the thing itself, and he can't appreciate the preciousness of it. On the contrary, people who have passed their childhood will have a lot of feelings, even if they are absurd and distant, the feeling of deja vu in their hearts will dispel the noise for a while, bring back some memories, or remember how life should have been. thing.
The movie is very warm, but after watching it, the feeling is a little more focused on a certain part, so it may be more serious. Although it is personal lyric, it is also entertainment.
