#Rambo est une tragédie humaine : celle d’un homme en décalage total avec le monde pour lequel il a combattu. Son regard tragique porte sur ce qui a été conçu par l'Amérique, l’édification d’un monde à la mesure de ses rêves désormais dépourvu de sens.
#RIP director #TedKotcheff, who I just learned today had three different movies that became major cult hits, each for entirely different reasons -- the insane Australian thriller "Wake in Fright" ("You don't like the Yabbo??!!"); the original Rambo movie, "First Blood;" and the notorious black comedy "Weekend at Bernie's." And this is not to mention such minor cult hits as "North Dallas 40," "Fun with Dick and Jane," and "Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?"
