recently conducted an interview with RAMBO’s pops, Canuck author DAVID
MORELL, yes the man who wrote
FIRST BLOOD in 1972
(Order the book here). Here’s an excerpt of
what he had to say about the latest
RAMBO picture.
“I’m happy to report that overall I’m pleased. The
level of violence might not be for everyone, but it has a serious intent.
This is the first time that the tone of my novel FIRST BLOOD has been used
in any of the movies. It’s spot-on in terms of how I imagined the
character—angry, burned-out, and filled with self-disgust because Rambo
hates what he is and yet knows it’s the only thing he does well. The
character spends a lot of time in the rain as if trying to cleanse his soul.
There’s a nightmare scene involving vivid images from the three previous
films (they indicate the emotional burden he carries). There’s a scene in
which Rambo forges a knife and talks to himself, basically admitting that he
hates himself because all he knows is how to kill.”
