This is pretty much the same as the "Nothing is Over!" mashup I first made, just better editing. I couldn't decide between calling this version part 2, remastered or director's cut.

What most people don't get is. The first rambo isn't a war movie, it's an anti war statement movie. Rambo is a fictional character made to represent how it felt for everyone who did serve in Vietnam. They fought their hearts out, only to come back to a country that hated them.
-
“You don’t just turn it off”. That’s PTSD to a tee. You can’t just turn it off like society expects you to. You just can’t
-
Who says Stallone can't act? He's amazing.
-
"My friend was all over me and nobody would fucking help!"
-
“Back there I could fly a gunship. I could drive tank. I was in charge of million dollar equipment. Back here I can’t even hold a job parking cars.” I've heard it said that some people don’t just struggle with PTSD but once you return to civilian life, there’s the feeling that you won’t ever matter as much again.

"War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse...There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them — little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander." - Hawkeye MASH
-
He always makes me cry when he screams "MY FRIEND IS ALL OVER ME" That part always breaks my heart.
-
this movie needs to be shown in film courses. seriously that ending was such a mood change and ive noticed EVERY single person shuts up when he says "nothing is over, NOTHING" and listens to his entire speech and people either full cry or hold back tears. THATS how you do true emotion and story telling
-
My father was a Nam vet. It never ended for him also. As a veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, I felt this right through my bones. The only difference is that we HAD and HAVE help. They had nothing. We forgot them because we were embarrassed. My father was broken and he never seemed to fully come back to the world. He would have night terrors and sometimes he would just leap out of bed. He was a good man but he never was the same. May all who found war..now find peace.
-
"You just don't turn it off" is the most realistic line in a movie about a Veteran
-
And all Rambo wanted was a DAMN SANDWICH!! But no, that sheriff had to keep messing with him.
-
As a Nam vet, I have been through that emotional turmoil for years. Stallone should have gotten an academy award for just that scene, because it was expressing the real truth of what we experienced in Nam.
-
It's amazing to me to watch younger people today, watch the movies from when I was young, and still get the emotional impact of the most powerful scenes.
-
Rambo 1 is hell of a movie. It starts out as action, and midway becomes almost like a pseudo-horror movie (when Rambo was being hunted but everyone chasing him keeps getting taken out), and in the last 5 minutes delivers one of the strongest drama scenes in film history. I haven't heard any other movie that managed to do that. Also Stallone is a tremendous actor.
-
One of Sly Stallone’s best acting scenes!
-
For all the movies i've seen in this life... these last 5min of this movie should rightfully go down as one of THE most powerful scenes in movie history. It's weird to have someone like Stallone performing that scene but he got it so damn good.
-
i know Rocky and Creed were Stallone's most acclaimed films, and with very good reason. However, these 5 mins of acting from him were better than all of his other filmography combined. I believe Sly can truly act if he wanted to... he just chose to go the Mass Appeal route. And I don't blame him really.
-
Another crazy thing I've noticed as soon as Rambo yells " Nothing is over" everyone quiets down
-
This scene doesn't get nearly enough attention and acclaim. Rambo's monolog is a master class of gritty, emotional, and genuine grief and trauma. SO powerful.
-
Watching this scene again as a Marine Veteran hits so much different now. Especially when he just slumps down to the floor, utterly mentally defeated and in tears and through his sobs asks “where is everybody?” I have never felt more alone in my life than I do now since having left all my fellow Marines and returning to civilian life. He’s right, out here there’s nothing.
