Rambo: First Blood ( Part 2 ) is the second movie in the "Rambo" movie series. Rambo: First Blood was directed by George P. Cosmatos in the year of 1985. As most other Sylvester Stallone movies, Rambo is based on pure action and heroism. The story is told from veteran John Rambo's point of view. The movie portrays American patriotism and heroism despite the governments lack of support and gratefullnes. The movie catches the general view towards the war: a view of mistrust to the government and undeniable acknowledgement towards the veterans.
The movie Rambo is a representation of the Vietnam veterans feelings: exceeding expectations and a sense of being neglected and mislead by the government. We can see throughout the movie, that the war hero Rambo is treated very poorly by his own government. He is punnished for his heroism and love to his country and is left to die by his own government. This is a notion which many Vietnam soldiers felt during and after the war. One can also analyze that the only ones that really do care about the soldiers well-being, are the soldiers themselves, and not the government. This can clearly be seen throughout the movie, where Rambo is heroicly trying to rescue the POWs, while the government punishes him for doing so.
In order to get these ideas across, the movie uses heroism to the extend where it seems overwhelming. The impossible missions are being completed by the hero Rambo with excellence. As a result; the movie comprises of hardcore action and aggression. This notion of perfection is enhanced with strong quotes throughout the movie.
