The general take
Dax Shepard thinks the original Rambo: First Blood is an incredible and poignant film that meaningfully addressed the real issue of troubled Vietnam veterans returning to America. He appreciated that both he and his companion connected with the movie for the same reasons he enjoyed it as a kid.

…recommending classic rambo film as excellent movie for younger viewers
“The original Rambo First Blood is an incredible movie. And it's poignant. And it's really dealing with the issue of the times, which were like these kind of wayward Vietnam vets who were just back in America. Not only did she love it, what I loved was like, she loved it for the same reason I did as a kid.”
