First Impressions of Rambo
Dec. 17th, 2013 11:40 pmWatched Rambo: First Blood for the first time, for class.
It's not my favorite thing, but it does have interesting aspects.
No small amount of John Winchester in there- war veteran, expert fighter, driving through the US, drifter, no place in normative society, tortured, lost so many people. Down to the way he stitches himself up. And other SPN things - the naked vulnerability, crying action hero, trouble with the law, "I'm here to save you from him, not the other way around"... And oh, those seventies (OK, 1982) cars, jackets, heroes in painted-on jeans. Also, it's unbelievable they make kid costumes out of this.
Spent the first 20-30 minutes of the movie waiting for the twist where he somehow becomes a boxer.
