This movie kind of sneaks up on you. I remember watching it as a kid and obviously the PTSD element went directly over my head. It didn't help that there was an animated TV show and toy line celebrating a man suffering from PTSD. A lot of us seemed to slip by the actual meaning behind the story in those days. Obviously, as I got older and revisited, it's kind of nuts that this is THE movie for PTSD. The sequels are more traditional action movies like you're describing in your outtro with varying degrees of success. Rambo: First Blood Part 2 is pretty good. The rest are fairly forgettable in my opinion, but there's some fun to be had if you decide to continue on. For more Stallone, barring what you've already seen and the Rocky movies, which are obviously all must-sees in my opinion up to and including the Creed movies, I would recommend Cop Land, Cliffhanger, and Over the Top as the standouts, the latter more a personal favorite than an actual good movie so be warned.

It does seem so odd to have a line of toys and an animated TV show. We are interested in watching Part 2 and then maybe moving on to Rocky.

I work as a regional manager for a metropolitan public library system. A lot of my day-to-day is centered around providing resources for under-served communities, and working directly with the chronically homeless to try to pull them out of that situation. I thought the moment that Will characterizes Johnny as a "drifter" was truly accurate to the heavily political conversations I've had with local officials, as well as the relationships I've built with law enforcement agencies, neighborhood police officers, downtown developers, etc. Everyone is very careful to not use the word homeless when they are describing the undesirable social elements they do not want to exist in their service area or town, but that is absolutely what he means when he is commenting on John's appearance and smell, saying if he lets him stay, first thing you know, we'll have a whole bunch of you guys in town. Social awareness surrounding homeless veterans really came into public view during the 80s (it was even dropped in Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire." I'm so glad it got highlighted in such a mainstream action film. I was able to successfully introduce a programming initiative last year, where our organization is now assisting homeless veterans by educating them about available local resources, assisting with translating their skills into something they can communicate to the civilian workforce, during job searches, and providing a safe place to talk with one another in an effort to reinforce a sense of community support. If you know of anyone who is needing help, there are 120,000 libraries in the U.S. with trained staff who are able to provide guidance.

Great reaction. I was born in the 1980s, so I share an affinity for these films. I remember watching movies like this as a young teen in the late 1990s/early 2000s. I have always been a history nerd, so I am impressed with your knowledge of recent American history. (Recent to me being the 1950s to Today). It is fascinating to see how American history moved from the upheavals of the 1960s and 1970s (JFK/RFK/MLK assassinated, Vietnam War, Counterculture, Watergate, Economic Crisis) and then settled into the 1980s and the 1990s which saw relative peace after the Cold War until September 11, 2001. When you look at it from that point of view, it is easy to see how fast and dramatically American culture has continued to change the last 50-60 years.

I really hope you do watch Rocky ladies, I think you may be surprised once again

Thanks for sharing. Your library program for veterans sounds incredible – it's important to know that libraries are such a crucial resource.

Thanks again for watching with us. You are right, it's striking how quickly our culture has changed in the last 60 years when you consider that timeline.

Ladies, another great reaction. I saw this movie in the theater with my brothers and stepfather. Not surprisingly, it made quite the impression. My father, stepfather and maternal grandfather all served in the military during Vietnam. My grandfather served three tours (he first entered the Army at the outset of WWII, became a lifer and retired after his third tour in Vietnam). My grandfather, who was ordinarily quite hawkish, agreed that Vietnam was a mistake. As did my father and stepfather. Years after seeing the movie, I read the book by David Morrell. I was quite taken aback. In it, John Rambo is much less sympathetic and, frankly, comes across as a psycho. I enjoyed the book, but it lacked the emotional complexity or socio-political commentary of the movie, factors that make it still seem relevant 44 years after its release. My take on Teasle’s reaction to Rambo’s attire is that he found it offensive because he assumed Rambo was a protestor. In the book, it’s made clear that Teasle was a veteran of the Korean War. He undoubtedly took great pride in his service and in his country. One thing that the film could not convey, but which I remember quite clearly, is that many who opposed the war dressed in military jackets/fatigues, just like the one Rambo wore. Many of those that protested the war had previously served a tour. The wearing of the jacket became a kind of visual shorthand - a way of letting others know where you stood on the issue. This was the case well into the 1980s, with the fatigues taking on added meaning as a liberal symbol in general, not just an expression of opposition to war. I believe Teasle thought that’s why Rambo was dressed as he was and that, as a veteran of a certain age and temperament, he found it offensive.

I can imagine it must have, especially with having family members who served. Thanks for explaining Teasle's reaction further.
