We all love a good story about an underdog, who is wronged, and fights back in a way that makes the little guy sit up and cheer. Especially if the underdog is an out of his luck character whose only redeeming quality is his resourcefulness and his adherence to his principles, principles we all wish we had. "First Blood" is such a movie.
Our fable kicks off with a vagrant, a veteran of the Vietnam struggle wandering into a little municipality. On the exterior of town, he is met with some law who tell him that his class is not appreciated in this municipality. Drifters are not allowable, as they are perceived as vermin who will drain the cities property without giving anything back. After giving him the warning, the law leave him, and think that is that.
However, our character, John Rambo, shows up again in town, and is arrested. He gets booked, and thrown into the county lockup. But he doesn't suggest any harm, and he hasn't even cracked any laws. He just sought after something to gobble, and a friendly place to sleep. He may seem a little slow, but we feel for him, as the police appear to be mistreating him.
Then there is a confrontation, and the police chief steps over the line. And faintly injures this outwardly big brute. Drawing initial blood, the sheriff has opened a can of worms he will rapidly regret, likely for the rest of his life. Because John Rambo is a highly qualified destroyer, and well prepared to control any kind of defiance, and come out on top.
This begins the middle of the picture. One lone man, John Rambo, is pushed into a trap, and he responds with the only way he knows how. He retreats into the close by hills, and quickly finds himself in his element. Trained to outlive, to chase, and to murder. The police immediately appreciate that they have their hands full, and bring in as many officers as they can.
Then an army Colonel shows up, and claims that he was Rambo's commanding officer during the Vietnam combat. The police wrongly believe he is there to look after his charge from the police. But they have it the other way around. Rambo's CO is there to bring him back before he does irretrievable harm to the entire police force. He is there to save the police from Rambo, not the other way around. We chase John Rambo through the backwoods, and watch him combat his own psychological demons in one unusual show that has created one of he most well known action heroes of our time. If you haven't witnessed this movie, you must, as it is an instance of extraordinary filmmaking, acting, and directing. - 40724
