Rambo

I just saw this last night, and I have to admit, this movie is the height of what America is all about: obscene levels of violence (lets just keep sex out of the public eye, it’s bad, mmkay?).  The movie was entertaining, and I laughed about how over-the-top it was, but one thing does concern me.  This is one of the first times I can recall seeing kids killed on screen en masse.  300 had that one scene where Leonidas beat the tar out of the other kid, but that is kids vs kids, guys running around blowing them away with a machine gun is a shade different.

Overall, it was a good movie, but that one thing could have been left out and still shown an obscene amount of violence to prove the point that genocide is bad.
