“Rambo/The Last Battlefield” trailer

Director: Sylvester Stallone 99 minutes (extended cut version)

Rimbaud, who made a comeback for the first time in about 20 years, has become something of a recluse, living a reclusive life in Thailand. However, after taking on the role of transporting a group on a humanitarian mission to provide medical aid to a Karen village, he throws himself into the fight against the Myanmar military regime, which sadistically massacres the local people.

Stallone, who revived Rocky in 2006's Rocky the Finale , took advantage of that trend and brought his other alter ego, Rambo, back into the 21st century. It focuses on brutal regional conflicts that the world has ignored, rekindling the unquenchable anger against violence against the weak. With a physique that does not show the slightest sign of aging and deep acting skills, he has been able to access roles that he has been absent from for many years.

However, the style of action depiction that has changed over the past 20 years has changed the feel of the series. In particular, the gruesome and brutal battle scenes that have become standard since Steven Spielberg's World War II film Saving Saving Private Ryan (1998) make Rambo's situation extremely difficult. Draw it out. What is brought about is not the sense of accomplishment of victory, but the sense of impermanence of conflict.

At the same time, the movie reflects on the essence of Rambo, which has been touched upon in the past three films. By redefining his destiny as a warrior who seeks a place on the battlefield, the work seems to refer to a comprehensive theory of Rimbaud.
