“First Blood” a classic action movie
First Blood
“First Blood” is a classic action movie directed by Ted Kotcheff and released in 1982. The movie was based on the Vietnam war, which had happened seven and a half years before the movie was published. In the movie, Sylvester Stallone acted the role of John Rambo (former Green Beret) who fought against small-town bullying police. Throughout the movie, Mr Stallone decorated himself as a fearless man who would go through himself in any action scene due to his fists and speed. From the movie, the author set great physical power and strength scenes with Mr Stallone taking all the police who mishandled him. Most scenes are centred in the Pacific Northwest forest since they involve fights between Stallone and the Sheriff’s officers.
Mr Stallone was offering a kind offer to sign a peace deal, but he declined peacefully, thus leading to his arrest by Sheriff Teasle’s military. Rambo was mishandled by the cops, thus making him escape the arrest and bring-down the whole police department. Through his skills, he manages to instil fear amongst the Sheriff’s men. In the movie, former Stallone’s trainer, Colonel Trautman, was in a dilemma not knowing who to support.
Towards the end, the nature of the movie seems to be changing from classic action to the one-man army. In the movie, Mr Stallone had already taken over the town and controlled everything. For instance, he could explode pumps at a gas station among other nasty things. The conclusion clearly indicates that he had accomplished his mission at Vietnam; therefore, he was ready to go back home. This type of conclusion has become commonly especially action movies.
In conclusion, the “First Blood” can be classified under the best classic movie which has its scenes well placed, and actor demonstrated high level of skills from the beginning up to the last twenty to thirty minutes of the movie. In my view, the best scene from the movies is the Stallone’s fight using a hunting knife while handling the compass on the hand. The movie ends in a simple manner.
