| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Politics, not cinema |
| I saw "Rambo" when it first came out, and it stands out more now for its political dimensions than for its cinematic qualities.
It may seem odd, but America tried to tell itself...for quite a while... that it had won the war in Vietnam. "Rambo" said something vividly that may seem uncontroversial today, namely that we had lost in Vietnam. We lost, not because of the failure of the military, but because of a failure of political will. Our Soldiers weren't allowed to win. If you weren't old enough to see this movie when it came out, you need to see it just because it is referenced and parodied by so many other films. |
