影视听力 第22期:Rambo第一滴血4

剧情简介

时光荏苒，转眼20年之后。昔年的孤胆英雄约翰·兰博（西尔维斯特·史泰龙），也隐居于泰国北部，在萨尔温江上行船。越战的伤疤早已淡去，但兰博再不愿卷入纷争，他离群索居，在山野丛林中过着简单生活，每日捕鱼抓蛇猎猎小兽，最危险也不过是和剧毒之蛇打打交道--纯粹为了逮它们去卖而已。在邻近的泰缅边境，克伦族人和缅甸长达60余年的内战依然没有止歇，战争僵局吸引来了无数雇佣兵、叛乱军、医务人员和人道主义者。
　　
打破兰博平静生活的，是一群基督教人权组织的援助人员。带队的萨拉（朱莉·本兹）和迈克尔（保罗·施库尔兹）前来求助，希望征募兰博做向导保护他们。原来，自他们去年前往难民营之后，缅甸军方在沿途埋下了为数不少的地雷，且途中还可能遭到暴徒，危险重重。他们想让兰博带他们穿过萨尔温河上游，以便将药品和食物送达受苦受难的克伦族。考虑再三，本欲冷眼旁观的兰博勉强答应了他们的请求。...

I have distinct memories of seeing the first three Rambo movies starring Sylvester Stallone in theaters, which makes me feel very old. I guess it means that I am really old because it has been 20 years since the third Rambo movie and now at last there is a forth 1 one called just Rambo, directed by Mr. Stallone and of course starring none other than the man himself.

Now I was happy when I heard the news that Rambo was coming back because in spite of their political incorrectness and the fury that they caused at the time.

I find, uh, especially the first two Rambo movies--First Blood and Rambo--quite enjoyable and really kind of wonderful, dumb, soulful, poetic 2 action violence movies and I wondered what Rambo had been up to all this time and what he would do now. So I was a little surprised though to find out that, instead of taking on Osama bin 3 Laden 4, or some other bad guy who threatens the U.S., he turns his wrath 5 on the Burmese army who are oppressing the Karen tribes people in the jungles and mountains of Burma.

Now I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. There's certainly a lot of bad stuff going on in Burma and some bad guys who need to be taken out, but I was just a little surprised that this was the project that would spark Rambo's come-back.

The character has been spending the last 20 years living in Thailand, hunting for snakes, working at his blacksmith forge, going up and down the river on a boat. He gets hired to take a group of missionaries 6 on this boat. They are going to bring medicine and bibles and other kinds of aid. Of course, bad stuff starts to happen. Some brutal 7 and sadistic 8 Burmese soldiers come out of the jungles, take the missionaries captive and Rambo and a bunch of mercenaries have to go in there and get them out.

There is a lot of bloodshed. This is by far the most violent of the Rambo movies. Stallone is barely acting 9 at all. He is just kind of glowering 10 and grunting 11 and running and blowing things up, but there is something powerful and effective about it and I have to say this is a short movie, an unpretentious movie and, goodness knows, there're a lot of long and pretentious 12 action movies out there, so I'm somewhat surprised to hear myself say, "Rambo, welcome back!"
