I just wanted to share a quick post with this month’s Blind Spot pick. It was 1982’s First Blood which is our introduction to the character of John Rambo. This was honestly much better than I was anticipating and I had a great time talking about it with my friend Ryan who filled in for Manda in March.
I didn’t expect to be moved by Rambo’s story but I was. It’s also not as violent as the sequels became known for. It’s a survival story of veteran Rambo being hunted by Brian Dennehy’s Teasle.
I was quite touched when Rambo says “I can’t get it out of my head. A dream of seven years. Everyday I have this. And sometimes I wake up and I don’t know where I am. I don’t talk to anybody. Sometimes a day – a week. I can’t put it out of my mind.”
If you haven’t seen this first Rambo movie, First Blood, I highly recommend it. It’s one of the bigger surprises I’ve had with Blind Spot for some time. A really good movie and I think our discussion was insightful. Would love your thoughts.
April we have the very long Cleopatra which should be an adventure to watch. I’m excited.
