Never mind the absolute shit that this eventually spawned, but the first instalment - First Blood is so good.
A loner drifter returns from Vietnam a changed man in a changed society, reverts to an almost feral state as he tries to survive in the mountains while being hunted by the law and the very institutions that created him.That famous scene where Stallone falls off a cliff into a tree was real, he almost broke his back doing that stunt.
My only gripe is that they changed the book's ending where Rambo dies at the hands of his Colonel and mentor.
- Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve never seen this because I assumed cheese.nb
- This movie is even better for those first discovering it and that have the oiled up Rambo image in their head.palimpsest
- Same as Rocky.palimpsest
- < Heard great things about the bookkaiyohtee
- I have an excess of that “oiled up Rambo” in my head.nb
- looks like Stallone never knew when to quit while he was ahead. ran everything into the ground so he could cash in. it's a shame._niko
- Rambo I's a great, grim flick.
If memory serves, there is literally one woman (and at that, a barely tertiary character) in the movie.Nairn - Nairn, do you look for movies that have no female characters?nb
- Copland is also a great Stallone film if ya haven't seen it.jbasnight
- 1 person dies in this. He never wanted to kill anyone. I think by Rambo 4 the death toll was in its thousands!Ianbolton
- The artist Alain Bublex did a project around it:
https://www.youtube.…
http://alainbublex.f…palimpsest - that's brilliant palimpsest, one of the things that immediately struck me about this film is the environment, the mountains and town play a starring role_niko
- ...and the rust and decay as a metaphor for passing time and change._niko
- @nb - not particularly. i don't bechdel test every flick I watch, I just remember it stuck out for me when I noticed, as a 16 year old, for some reason.Nairn
- As a 16 year old watching Rambo (again) presumably late night, I guess I was looking out for someone to wank to. I don't think the one woman was wankable-to.Nairn
- Lolnb
- I love the thought of you looking at the pic on that Rambo VHS and thinking “this looks like it’ll be sexy”nb
- Satellite TV, baby - I grew up as an outlier ex-pat in a forin land, beteeted on whatever Sky Movies had to offer on a Friday night.Nairn
- I'm now getting off on the thought of you getting off on the thought of me fantasising about improbable RamboPorn from VHS video covers. Stranger things?Nairn
- Oh, shit - that should've been "WASN'T wankable-to", ffs. I memba her being some plump-faced 40-50-something.
Still. *unzips hotpantsNairn - oh wait, this is the problem with double negatives and booze.Nairn
- "That famous scene where Stallone falls off a cliff into a tree was real, he almost broke his back doing that stunt"
That's not possible, from such fall youi_was - don't broke your back, you die.i_was
- I love Reagan era movies. I've never been to 80s America, but I'm nostalgic about that atmosphere, probably from watching all these movies as a kiddrgs
- WOLVERINES!, amirite?Nairn
- lol Nairn, don't get me started on Red Dawn lol_niko
- ya first one has heart. rest are pure explosions.pango
- First Blood is great, but I'm always perplexed at the immediate vitriol shown to Rambo by the cop. If you go by the stereotypes, small-townmg33
- America, full of it's conservatives and military support weren't against the war in Vietnam. I don't recall hearing of stories of returning / struggling vetsmg33
- being shunned for their service. Many of them were treated as heroes, across the ocean battling big ugly communism.mg33
- If anyone disagrees, please share your thoughts, especially if you've got any articles about that era of returning and struggling vet.mg33
- Is the story based on anything realistic? Widespread stories? Was it anecdotal?mg33
- The cops issue with him is not that he's a veteran but a long-haired bum.palimpsest
- ^ that makes sense. There were certainly hundreds if not thousands of men that fit that description in the years after the war.mg33
- The oddity is that he just returned from the way - so 70's, immediate time frame of end of war, and treated that way.mg33
- That's the irony of it, and of course Rambo doesn't play the veteran card he just wants to be left alone.palimpsest
- the movie is obviously exaggerated to make a point.pango
- Thanks, Bennn.palimpsest
- you're welcome! (●'◡'●)pango
- its still another form of propaganda. in the movie, Rambo talks about being spat on after he came home. it was a rhetoric pushed by Nixon.pango
- trying to drive a wedge between the vets and anti-war protestors. but the researcher couldn't find any first-hand account of such incidents.pango
- https://www.amazon.c…pango
- however, there were actually more vets protesting alongside anti-anti war protestors.pango
- Mg33, felt the same when I saw that scene, but only during the interrogation do they realize he’s a vet, cop initially mistook him for a drifter._niko

- very strong movie, felt like a man vs nature kinda storyfeel
- Thought of The Happening but this was a far better and more engaging flick.Ramanisky2
- looks goodutopian
- I liked it but some scenes, dialogues and bit of the scenario doesn't make sense or is not enough close to what would happen in real life and it bugged me a bitHAL9001
- An example, SPOILER DON'T READ, but why would all those deers come and stop in front of the girl and stare at her? wtfHAL9001
- Something about their migration routes being fucked up from an electro magnetic attack which knocked out all communication but also their natural gps?_niko
- But I loved it overall, loved the small details like the sound design being lifted from the twilight zone, the edits and transitions were brilliant, the shots_niko
- Were gorgeous, the pacing and the acting was great. I also loved how there was no preachy message except nihilism which was a major theme_niko
- And the line no one is in controlled summed it up beautifully. It was my argument against the covidiots who were sure this was a giant conspiracy headed by a_niko
- Global nefarious cabal when in fact it was a random event brought on by chance that caught us with our pants down._niko
- just finished it... it was very paced and intelligent and unlike those online apparently perplexed by the ending, it was good, you should know what’s nextprophetone
- plenty of symbolism throughout, the jenga, that bedroom wallpaper, friends critiqueprophetone
- Meh.. I was witing for the aliens, glad when it was finished so i didt have to waste more timetony77
- When they start flirting and dancing, i thought it was weird... with all the weird stuff that happend, probably everyone would be anxious, nervous and panicky..HAL9001
- I liked the ending, i called it out at middle of the movie, it was abvious for me it would end with that lolHAL9001
- Taught I noticed this during the movie, but the art in the house changed as the plot progressed.

- annoyed more than entertained me, I see it was made by Obama's production company too, the bit with the Teslas was best bit thoughGardener

- Loved it. Esmail totally has a way he shoots and frames. Shot so similar to Mr robot in parts..thumb_screws
- So glad to see you guys all dug this one. I was transfixed watching this. Probably about exactly how it will go.bogue
- I thought the film was so intriguing all the way through but felt wholly let down by the ending. And yes the flirting/dancing scene was bizarre as fuck.HAYZ1LLLA
- Morning_star9
Watched this last night. Based on the trailer I misjudged it entirely. It's very good. Incredibly thought provoking.
Those quiet moments since seeing it are filled with the possibilities, consequences and perspectives the film portrays. It's unspecific, distant, mundane and fucking terrifying all in one. Sam Esmail (Mr Robert) has tapped into something that's primal, in what it means to survive in this world. The final scene is devastating, heavy with truth and hopelessness.
- yes it's a great filmhans_glib
- Lovd it.Wordsworth
- Nicely stated Morning_starRamanisky2
- Interesting, I found the last scene full of hope and a fuck-it, let’s make the best of a shitty situation attitude_niko
- It felt to me like an overture to self-centred entitlement and consumption.Morning_star
- Ross & Rachel truly destroyed the world.Ramanisky2
- My wife said she was troubled that she doesn't know what happens after the end. I said I think they told us exactly what happens. Great film.monospaced
- In the minority here, clearly. I didn't much like it - daft exposition, unlikely character development - it just felt like a bunch of ideas, thrown at a wall.Nairn
- If you are woke, this movie is your wet dream.Hayoth
- Uh oh.
No, sorry - i fucking loved it.Nairn - felt it would have been better without the weird religious under tones.Nutter
- No doubt It has it's faults, the narrative is a bit clunky, the pacing is off, the characters are unlikely. Despite that it's one of the most thought...Morning_star
- ...provoking things i've seen. Different strokes for different folks I guess.Morning_star
- Ross was on ‘a break’ okprophetone
- Lovedthis one.elahon

Holy shit I forgot how good this movie was and how good action movies can be.
I took the family to an old movie theatre last night that was showing it so they can watch it for the first time, man what a movie.
No bullshit CGI, just stuntmen with balls of steel, jaw was on the floor the whole time as opposed to garbage marvel movies where it feels like a video game and you're taken completely out of it.
Explosions were all real, real fire, real smoke, real destruction...just beautiful
The locations were real, they sweated their balls off in 50 degrees C (200F or whatever) in the actual desert in an actual town with actual extras, no bullshit green screen environments with weta massive cgi hordes...these were real life smelly sweaty human beings.
10/10 would bang again and again

Memento.Nairn - I have three movies that are 'good' but I'll never watch again because they're horrid. Memento, The Counselor.. and I can't remember the last one.Nairn
- Since Irreversible has been listed, I'll go with Salo. It's not a good film, but it's absolutely fucked. Also Batpussy.garbage
- Not super fucked up, but we watched Norwegian flick 'The Trip' last night, thinking it'd be a dark comedy. It ..er.. wasn't, really. I did laugh a few times thoNairn

"To prepare for his role, Viggo Mortensen traveled alone to Moscow, St.Petersburg and the Ural Mountain region of Siberia, where he spent five days driving around without a translator. He read books on the gangs of the Vory v Zakone, Russian prison culture and the importance of prison tattoos as criminal résumés, and perfected his character’s Siberian accent and learned lines in Russian, Ukrainian and English."

- Could be because Netflix, Disney etc. promoting a lot of "easy"/B movies? Nothing of substance gets produced, because the public is getting dumber?grafician

I would be lying if I didn’t admit that this movie shaped my world view a little bit as a young man.
Today, I look back at that young kid and laugh a little at the immaturity. Oh, the angst! I don’t relate as much as I once did.
Anyone else deeply moved by this movie?
- I can still recite the whole movie, the vhs eventually snapped from excessive watching. Put me on a realistic and cynical path in life, which I think I needed.ArchitectofFate
- Man do I love Palahniuk's books...ArchitectofFate

But, I'm Basque, who cares? ;)OBBTKN - Srly. Loved this movieOBBTKN

- a friend started his own project mayhem. mostly drawing dicks on school buildings.tank02
- still a good OST from the dust brothers and the cinematography is still ace.tank02
- I'm pretty meh on it. I remember freshman year and there were a bunch of dudes in my dorm that were nerding out on it.garbage
- They started their own fight club in the basement. I'd go to watch, and it was mostly them cosplaying..garbage
- ..of course the only person there that went to my high school was taking it very seriously, his gf had just dumped him, and later we find out he's got legit..garbage
- ..mental issues. Everyone else was pulling their punches, and he was beating the shit out of people and laughing.garbage
- Single-handedly cancelled our dorms "fight club". The best part is that he hadn't even seen the movie. What a riot.garbage

- my holy trinity of movies at the time was Fight club, Seven and the usual suspects, and True romance_niko
- A holy trinity of fournb
- Loads of good analysis on how this film is aging. The 'smash the system' gen X attitude when it came out is closer now to a form of incel domestic terrorismDaveO
- that is kinda what we've al been shocked by for the last 4 years or so. I loved it then and love it now. So many ideas in a short space of time, and yeah, BRAD.DaveO
- I recall my female friends hating this movie. It’s probably not far from the incels of todaynb
- had a pretty good rythmn, pacing .. and memorable sequences...neverscared

Re: Low Budget Scifi
Still holds up. It's a smart, slowburn of mindfuck.
- ExcellentMrT
- Yeah, good onespl33nidoru
- yupYakuZoku
- Yes! when i saw the lofi budget scifi post I was going to suggest Primer too.microkorg
- Great movie. What’s even more amazing is Shane Carruth wrote. Directed. Produced. Edited. Was lead actor, and scored the whole movie on a budget of $7,000monNom
- https://en.m.wikiped…)monNom
- I know, right? It's worth 2 watches because even if you figure it out on the first watch, there's so much that you didn't catch.garbage
- But also so distracting to know he did all of that on the most shoestring of budgets.garbage
- best take on time travel i've seen yet!kaiyohtee
- yepsted
- This movie looks and feels like it cost about $7000nb

- 1. This should go under "Suggest the Greatest Movie."garbage
- The remake is with Liam Neeson. Should be a blast!Akagiyama
- 2. @gnash I thought you were joking. Liam Neeson?! Miss me with that. That racist fuck's feet can't fill the legend's shoes.garbage
- I'm actually on board with Liam Neeson he's equally intense and low key hilariousprophetone
- One of them talked openly about walking around trying to kill a black man, and the other literally has a fart joke on his tombstone.garbage
- I mean nobody can top Leslie Nielsen but anywayprophetone
- Politics aside, the only things they have in common are initials, gray hair and gravel in the throat. No way Neeson pulls this off.garbage
- Man, imagine condemning someone's work after death bc of a fart joke on their tombstone.cotton
- It will be shit, as I expect the Gyllenhaal Roadhouse remake will also be. Leave the classics alone, put writing before CGI and fuck off while you're doing it.MrT
- @cotton If you think I was condemning Leslie Nielsen in any way, I suggest remedial reading classes.garbage
- He used to sneak a fart machine onto morning shows because he hated doing them, and had "Let 'er rip" on his gravestone. Legend.garbage
