I have seen the movie and it is very graphic and entertaining and i enjoy it very much. There are many parts were he has to fight against his emotions and control his anger. But he can't he is to animalistic and trained. His father figured in the movie or the general who trained him tries to help him control these emotions and come back to reality. But Rambo is put into many difficult situations were he cant control his natural behavior. He flips out and starts a rampage of killing and takes down anyone in his way. Nothing not even seeing the most grizzly, graphic scenes affects him he just moves on with his killing and destruction. The Vietnam war is the cause of his terrible and gruesome behavior. He was trained to kill, trained to live, trained to fight and not even deal with the emotions and terrible things he has done. He holds in all this anger, hate, and resentment of what he has down. This affects him deeply and tears down his brain and he can't even begin to imagine how to deal with it, so he does what he is trained to do and kill.
I believe that is movie is inspiring and shows how humans are put into horrible situations and how they deal with it. It shows me that my life is not so bad and that i could be in a much different place if i went the wrong way in life. I enjoyed this paper or article and i thought that it was extremely interesting and i learned a lot from it and i suggest that people should read this and see the movie
I would have to disagree with you on the article being very informative; I found the article to be very confusing because of the writing style the author used with jumping from one thing to another. I too saw the movie and would agree with the fact that Rambo is trying to fight the temptation to kill, as a way of trying to join in with society. I would also have to disagree with that fact that it tears his brain down I feel that killing is the only thing Rambo knows and that is why he resorts to violence, in a sense it is his comfort area some place in which he feels in control while out of control. I also feel that I did not learn much of anything because it was so confusing, and I felt that the author could have done a better job of not jumping around from book to book, and then to movie. I feel that the author could even summarize and it would be clearer to the reader. In conclusion I would not recommend anyone read this because I feel that they will be just as confused as me, but I do feel people if deciding to read this watch the movie or read the book first so you at least know kind of what is going on.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you on that. I think the style and way that the author wrote was very hard to follow. At some points he jumped from book to book and never really let us know what what going on. I wasnt sure if the books were related or if the authers were just the same. so that was my main point of confusion on that part.
ReplyDeleteI also think you were right about Rambo trying to maintain control and a level head, but situations and people around him pushed him to his violent behavior. At the same time I feel like there was a little bit of him inside that liked to be violent. He was trained to kill and many times people begin to love what they are trained to do. So maybe as much as Rambo didn't want to kill I still feel like there was something inside him that got pleasure out of killing.
The other part where I agree with you is where he tries to show no emotion. Rambo is pictured as a mans, man and no action figure is supposed to sit down and cry after he just wooped everyones ass. You just can't feel too good with yourself if he was. The thing is that Rambo does break down and cry though in the third one, I think. And it does feel weird seeing him cry. In reality Rambo is a complex character that can't be taken at face value. He is deep and I'm sure next time we see Fist Blood on TV, we will all see Rambo in a differnt light.
