The Expendables




Sylvester Stallone, fuck yeah!
Jason Statham, fuck yeah!
Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Terry Crews, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis and Schwarzenegger! Fuck Yeah A macho review for a macho movie!

The Expendables 2010
Directed by Sylvester Stallone
Written by Sylvester Stallone and David Callaham

   The whole idea of ​​this film began as a continuation of the 2008 Rambo movie where the old mercenary returns to the United States and starting his own mercenary agency to fight where no one would like to go. Where old John Rambo would cut his hair, leave the goatee, and take the fake name of Barney Ross. Of course, the film became an original production where Rambo's name no longer needed to be cited. But that's Rambo, it's Rambo! Hehehe

   The film begins with the team in the Gulf of Aden, Somalia, where mercenaries have to face Somali pirates and rescue hostages. The cool thing about this movie is that despite the tense scene of bargaining with the pirates we can see how Barney (Stallone) and Lee (Statham) get on the scene! There is a whole chemistry in the friendship and rivalry between these two protagonists who are betting to see who kills more pirates faster!

   But just as there is a healthy friendship and rivalry, there is also the problem of emotional stability in Gunner (Lundgren) being extremely violent and sadistic. Which leads to direct disagreement between Gunner and Yin (Jet Li).

   Soon, Barney (Stallone) must search for a new mission and receive a service from Mr Church (Bruce Willis) to end a socialist dictator clearly inspired by Che Guevara and Fidel Castro. That they are sadistic puppets just like the real Che and Fidel. General Garza (David Zayas) rules the small island as if it were Cuba only for an unscrupulous drug kingpin James Munroe (Eric Roberts). Unlike Fidel who rules Cuba as a puppet of the Soviet Union ...
   Barney (Stallone) and Lee (Statham) decide to go to the island to gather information for the operation and encounter General Garza's daughter, Sandra Garza (Giselle Itié), who intends to beat her father and restore freedom and Democracy on the island of Vilena. But attacked, they must flee the island, killing only 47 soldiers. What they can do by making a low-flying plane shooting at will ...


 

 The respect for women
When feminists talk about machismo being about disrespect and oppression towards women; They have to completely ignore reality. Our culture is full of examples that the true behavior of a male is precisely that of respect and common sense towards women. But not only to women, but to children, to the elderly and the sick as well. Our culture has millennia of an ideal where men are taught to have virtues to be responsible, to respect other people and to protect society in general. With courage, common sense and kicking many asses.
When feminists talk about machismo, they do not fathom what the true macho's character is like.

Macho movies like The Expendables have a lot of respect for women. Carrying two key scenes that are completely about respecting women.

One of them is when Jason Statham arrives at the house of the girl that he likes (Charisma Carpenter) and discovers that she preferred to be with another guy - and that guy was beating her. At that time Jason Statham goes with him on motorcycle to the guy and breaks him and all his friends nobody beats a woman in a real macho movie. Who does this ends up having the butt kicked, a lot!

And the end of the movie is completely about rescuing a woman! Preferably killing as many thugs as possible!

Macho movies are full of examples of respect and common sense like these!



    Problems with drugs, betrayal ... ... And forgiveness.
   Gunner (Lundgren) was removed from his friends for being unstable because of the drugs. And without service, he ends up cheating on his friends and trying to kill them. Being a conflict-fighting scene that leads to a good stunt between Jet Li and Lundgren. The scene is tense and the friendship is well tested at the base of the kick in the kidney!
   But at the end Gunner ends up handing over whoever hired him and talked about the plans of the socialist-drug-thieves ...

   But the point is not just betrayal and cheerleading, but by the end of the movie we can see Gunner all broken, fucked and accepted back to the expendables bar drinking his beer.
   That is: We have to recognize that true friendship can hold on even after an ugly fight.





 
  Shots, big guns and lots of fighting!
   At the end of the film, Barney decides to join the whole gang to invade the island and kill the dictator, all his soldiers and his boss! And that's exactly to save the lady in danger. The island was then invaded by Stallone, Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture and Terry Crews! That has two jobs and one of them is to be motha-focka expendables!

   It's a good action movie that I do not need to be describing every action scene or stunt. The recommendation is to put the movie on the TV while rolling a barbeque / beer with friends and children. The film is not meant to be too deep, but it touches on themes that we have to talk to from time to time. Like friendship, forgiveness and respect for women.
   Worth seeing
