RAMBO!
Jonathan Garret (a former writer for the Atlanta Journal Constitution) said in an interview: "Rambo is the most violent movie I have ever seen. The last 11 minutes of the film are so violent, it makes We Were Soldiers look like Sesame Street".
Writer Davide Morrell 'The level of violence might not be for everyone, but it has a serious intent.'

Media language: semiotics: non verbal codes of war, soldiers, weapons, grenades, guns etc. explosions, tanks, shootings. Diegetic sound of music from Drowning Pool containing related lyrics to the image ' let the body's hit the floor' . Stallone voiceover narration 'when war is in your blood, killing is as easy as breathing'. It suggest killing is easy for him because there's nothing else that implies otherwise; no emotion attached. Short, action packed scenes is conventional of the films genre.

Representation: Fearless character. no uniform- usually topless to show physically fit represents his masculinity. Is alone on missions because the male warrior must go it alone to fit in with the theme of military , rigid face expression - no emotion.
Audience: R-esrtricted , under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
Ideology and values: Stallone narrates 'die for something, or die for nothing' suggesting no one can stop him, he feels glorified by his passion and honour.
Narrative: Rambo is divided into two halves, a narrative structure that plays to audiences instincts. The first is designed solely to make you hate the Burmese army, who make the cops from First Blood look like Care Bears. Just in case you don’t already hate them for mass genocide of innocents, they also feed prisoners to pigs and their leader is a pedophile. In the second half, you cheer as they get their revenge—their very gory revenge.
