Rambo 2 is a film about an American soldier, John Rambo, who was sent back to Vietnam after the war to rescue POWs from the war. He is prepared to do this for his fellow soldiers, but he knows that the government isn’t very concerned with his life, thus he’ll have to look out for himself at all times.
The point of view of this movie is of a soldier who risked his life in the Vietnam War for years, but ended up not winning the war due to US orders to withdraw from the war. Rambo seems to have a grudge against the US government, not only because they pulled out of Vietnam too early, but also due to how he and other veterans where treated after the war. He feels that the government left may soldiers who were captured behind and never went back for them. The government sends Rambo on his mission, but what they really want to get out of it is photos that show there are no more POWs left in Vietnam. When Rambo gets to Vietnam, he doesn’t take pictures but instead decides to take actions into his own hand and save the POWs.
This movie seems to have been made primarily for entertainment purposes. This is a action packed film, with an unrealistic plot. Rambo is made out to be the classic hollowed hero. He goes is and destroys an entire village, all on his own. Rambo 2 was also made to transmit an important message about the government and soldiers. Not only didn’t the government let these soldier, who had risked so much, finish and win the war, they also abandoned a number of them after the war. The US government needs to start caring about its soldiers and start supporting them.
