JASON: ... I have just been on you tube watching the Premiere of Rambo in London. Have u seen the movie yet Gerald?
GERALD: Yeah I saw the movie about three weeks ago in KL, Malaysia and I wrote a Rambo story in the papers. I think the movie is quite violent, and it shows Stallone breaking new grounds again with this film. Stallone does not make a movie for a movie sake.... it has to be true to character, and the elements. It is not just what the story communicates, but what HE COMMUNICATES. Stallone, being a perfectionist will not let an opportunity go by without making an impact. He has proven himself in the past, breaking the boundary with Rocky Balboa, proving that even when age catch up with you, life is not over till its over and as for Rambo IV, I think it will be remembered for a long time for the stark realism - the sheer brutality and gore... again Stallone leaves no stones unturned to make his point. And that is what audiences will remember most about him. Both Stallone and his film characters are always going Over The Top. Like he once said: "I don't want to have any regrets when going to the grave, I want to lay back and say: "I did it all!"
JASON: Very well said Gerald, couldn't agree more. When he was at the Premiere in London there were a group of protesters applauding Sly for bringing awareness to the atrocities of Burma, so even from a Political stand point, he seems to have his mark perfectly centered. As a matter of fact, one of the banners read 'Rambo owns Bourne' (Jason Bourne - Bourne Identity)... ha ha ha love it!!
The final scene of Rambo reminded me a lot in the way he managed to wrap the whole series up as he did with Rocky. Walking down the road in his Green jacket heading to his Fathers ranch was so perfect as it brought us straight back to the opening scenes of the original First Blood... like everything had come full circle.
Anyone who can criticize this man for his efforts both professionally and as an artist is clearly unaware of just who the real Sylvester Stallone is. The sad part of it is of course, is that 'a picture can speak a thousand words' and anyone who sees the image of Rambo will have no idea of the sheer importance such a story like this has. He is so strongly embedded into the subconscious mind that sadly people have a tendency to judge something they know very little about.
