Response To "Son of Rambow"
"Son of Rambow" is the story of a boy Will who cannot seem to fit in due to the fact that his family's religion does not allow him to do a whole lot (including watching tvand listening to music). When he becomes friends with one of the school's trouble makers Carter, he is exposed to a version of "Rambo" and his thoughts begin to revolve around imagination and fairytale ideas. Carter's friends idea to create a remake of "Rambo" transforms into "The Son of Rambow" that no one else is supposed to know about until until the foreign french boy wants in. Throughout the making of their movie, the boys become close friends and eventually "bloodbrothers" who completely disregard the consequeses of their actions. Their connection reflects a theme of friendship through tough times and that family is there for yoiu no matter what.
